I don't generally like KickStarter, because sometimes the people don't ever follow up again after they get the $$. But I'm trusting the Pratchett Estate and @neilhimself and @ColleenDoran on this one. It just started today 8/1 It's almost 2pm EDT and it's already reached it's £25K goal! Congratulations y'all!!
@broximar Unless it's a disaster somehow, Baldur's Gate will likely be carrying me up to the Starfield release. There's also the remaining episodes of the Telltale The Expanse game coming up, too.
The demo eliminated Sea of Stars from my playlist, at least for now. I wasn't impressed by it, especially the combat.
Colleen's previous adaptations of Neil's work have been works of art, and won a lot of well-deserved awards, so I'm really looking forward to this one.
(NB: this adapts the book, not the TV show; related, but not identical.)
There's an early-bird tier available only today, so I recommend giving it a look now…
So well written (and only just started so I'll let you know if it ever fails to hit as well as it has now as I HAVE FELT REALLY SIMILAR FOR YEARS about the disintegration and more tech - and nearly nobody has listened or just switch to "the human work" using existing tech which is really "advanced enough" and overshoot is not needed, more "human improvement" and mentality need adjusting / balancing from people doing things like group chats and minor therapy for how distant life became and more educated / enjoying we could be of each other (and needed as a kind of pollination of ourselves rather than #BigTech - even with just education as media all the time - without the human saying it or sharing it - it's kind of dry / doesn't give to humanity at the end as it's about more practice and participation by all in two-way and group stuff not just computer ! )
@freeschool@bibliolater@philosophy@bookstodon I've gotten to the point where 10pt type is to small for me to read even with my readers. I tossed the dead tree version of the book and got the Kindle version where I can adjust the type size so I can read it. I also kept swiping the lower right hand corner of the paper page, but it still wouldn't flip to the next page. Not a problem on the Kindle.

@BBC_News_Labs We are glad you're here, but a little sad your content is languishing. I hope your low engagement with the fediverse will be considered as you evaluate the success or failure of this experiment. As it is, I get most of my BBC content on fediverse via bird.makeup bots. But it sure would be great to get it direct from social.bbc
@darren hi, this is an account for our news innovation team and we just post when we have new work to highlight or talk about. If all goes well we're hoping to get more accounts going
Hello to our new followers, which, for the one and only time, is everyone...
We'll be verifying our account very soon, but in the meantime, our top level domain should hopefully help confirm our identity, and we've also written about why we're here on Mastodon, what was involved to get here, and the other BBC accounts you can follow.
@BBCRD So awesome! Would be excellent to see (some time in the future) any public over-time stats of the #fediverse from your perspective, ie fediverse growth, countries, platforms, some sort of clusters by "topic" of other servers directly connected to yours, etc! #MakeInternetDistributedAgain : P
En attendant la sortie de #baldursgate3, on peut écouter (ou réécouter) l’interview du fondateur de Larian pour Libération. "Swen Vincke revient sur les origines du projet, leur processus créatif, leur étrange organisation de travail, et sur l’étendue un peu vertigineuse, un peu folle, du résultat final." #gaming#jeuvideo
Got a few side-quests done tonight in Dust: An Elysian Tail! Currently sitting at 62% completion! I played for a couple hours on Steam Deck and only managed to use 40% of the battery!
If you listened to the recent Good Omens serial, adaptated and sound-designed by Dirk Maggs from the book by Neil Gaiman and the late Terry Pratchett, then you'll likely enjoy this discussion between old friends and collaborators, Dirk and Neil on the topic. It took place right before the recording.
