And so this is Christmas... TV's strange reluctance to indulge in seasonal fun - Comedy Chronicles - British Comedy Guide
Comedy was once the staple of British television - and particularly so at Christmas. Now it feels a third consideration at best. But how did the present set of events come to pass?British Comedy Guide

Future Proof Plays: Welcome to Elk - 2022/11/27 - CWs in description
CW: The game contains scenes including deaths and children experiencing murder. Alcohol abuse, sexual assault, prostitution, violence and offensive language.
This was a weird one. First: it has the best knees in video games, hands down. Second: it gets shocking towards the end of the stream when it switches formats of storytelling and gets kinda graphic in its descriptions of harm and death. The game is (according to the devs) about storytelling, and I begin to see some of what they're trying to do in that back half, but I wish the beginning had been a bit tighter in getting to the thesis.
This was part of my game studio's Future Proof Plays series of streams. Check out our upcoming schedule and our entire set of archives (including my partner's streams) over on YouTube. Follow me over on Twitch to watch my streams live.

*starts up out of a doze* shoot, game went up today!
waiting outside, on call is a conversation-based lyric game about that stressful period when something you care deeply about needs to be done and you can't do it. It's about trying and potentially failing to distract yourself from that stress. It is about conversations that start, sputter for a while, and die off.
I hope you all like it.

What a nice surprise! I picked up this clivia at the nursery a few days ago, when I went to get a big pot for the pothos. It had a tiny slender orange reed - the guy said it would flower at some point, but I wasnโt expecting it so soon.
Iโm told these are great plants for dark corners, so if you have some low light you may want to consider one. Theyโre quite nice. ๐

Hello #Mastodon friends,
I have reported this fake account (in photos), where someone is impersonating me in many comments using my photos & bio to promote their writing. If this indieauthors.social account replied to you, donโt be duped.
Aside from reporting, thereโs little I can do, but welcome any #tips. This happened on #Twitter & itโs disappointing to see it again here. But on social media, so it goes.

Definitely a problem Valve need to solve with the Steam Deck is forced game updates. For single player games especially, you shouldnโt be forced to update to play.

r/SteamDeck - Valve please let us launch without updating. If the game is single player this sucks to find out before a flight
