I've come to the realisation that I'm going to need to make a new version of the map for Astraria, but I haven't yet decided on the style. Plenty out there that look great, but I want to try and keep a consistent feel to things...

A couple of weeks ago my PC started to work weird, longer loading times, key smash delays, weird memory hiccups. There was NO indication that Copilot was running OR even installed at all. I ran this command line ⬇️ and VOILÀ! Suddenly everything runs smoothly again! WTF MICROSOFT. Fuck you! 🤬

If your win10 install is pushing Copilot on you: 1. Run PowerShell as Administrator 2. Paste: Get-AppxPackage *CoPilot* -AllUsers | Remove-AppPackage -AllUsers 3. Press Enter (There will not be any output if it is successfully removed) 4. Reboot Repost to save a life

Getting word that Larry the Chief Mouser of Downing Street has coasted to another peerless victory with no opposition and 100% of the vote, truly Britain’s greatest statesman

UK election results: The Labour Party has wiped out the Conservatives in an election bloodbath, according to the exit poll. If borne out by results, it means the party's leader Keir Starmer will be anointed as Britain’s 58th prime minister — ending 14 years of Tory rule. trib.al/7pYy3dO

I'm honestly annoyed that I went to vote before seeing the BBC coverage of the pets at polling stations. Ted could have been famous.

Hi #TTRPG folks, I've finished the first rough draft for my "Views of Astraria" which I'm going to be including alongside the game once it's finished to help flesh out the setting. I was hoping some of you may be inclined to take a look and leave some feedback, thanks. www.canva.com/design/DAGI-...

i've always loved the Terry Pratchett Boots Theory of socioeconomics but it's really striking now how it's slowly becoming inaccurate bc so many companies straight up do not make good products anymore. not even rich people can buy things that aren't designed to break in 3 years bc they don't exist

I got really lucky with my neighbours, one's just invited me over for a whiskey tasting this evening 🥃

Don't be too much in awe, but whilst meal prepping I only managed to break a glass and kock a pan off the stove once. Fuck my life.

Oh no I broke a glass when washing up! I guess I should take this as a sign to have a beer and watch some TV instead of meal prepping as I was going to do...

The new Russian wiki, Ruviki, is intended to be a more "trustworthy" source of information for Russians by editing out anything that makes the Russian government look bad. www.404media.co/russia-clone...

First proper day off in a long while, and all I intend to do with the rest of the day is play pokemon and watch trash TV with a small amount of day drinking. Love it.

I've been bitten by the Arma 3 bug again, send help.

Last night I managed to run a very brief and last-minute playtest of the ttrpg project I'm working on, I got some great feedback. I still have lots to do but people seemed to enjoy it so fingers crossed it keeps getting better 🤞

Successfully helped my brother move today, whoever built the stairs of his previous place, fuck you.

It's been a stupidly busy week but I'm just about moved into my new place. Commute time is now down from 1 hour to 15 minutes, it's bliss.
