This is a really cool typographic website for the history and presentation of a new typeface inspired by the old-school Heathrow Airport signage.

The original “How To Train Your Dragon” animated movie is an absolute gem, and one of my favourite movies… of course they’re re-making it as a live action movie. It looks well done and seems to match the original shot by shot soooo… once again, what’s the point? You know, except making money?

“A little-known Canadian wartime tragedy left a lasting mark on international law”: this is an interesting bit of history that ties the modern International Criminal Court, WW2 Nazi war crimes, and a WW1 Canadian hospital ship.

“The Reality Of Tariffs In Tabletop Gaming”: Steve Jackson Games’ Meredith Placko lays out what the next US presidency might mean for the #TTRPG and board gaming markets.

This is your reminder that ever since video games moved to online services and proprietary servers, they effectively stopped being a form of art. They’re just “content” and “monetization” until they’re thrown away. Want to work in video games? Stick to the indie scene.

My teenage kid in real life: stays in bed and complains about having to take out garbage.

My teenage kid in Persona 5: hangs out with friends and signs up for part time work.
