My beef with D&D may be showing, but I am quite pleased by how many of the RPG panels at #worldcon2024 explicitly point out that D&D is a pretty bad starting RPG - it's more complex than it needs to be, and there's lots of things that are more approachable and more interesting than for newbies.
(I'm catching up with stuff on Worldcon's Replay functionality)

Some thoughts about #worldcon2024 , a thread.
This was my first WorldCon, and actually essentially my first Con (I turned up briefly to Satellite 4 / Eastercon 65, but on the last day when it seemed like mostly everyone was just tearing down...).
In the best traditions of "learn by doing", it's also the first Con I volunteered at (Discord Mod + "Voice of Online" for several panels), which I Recommend not just morally but also because it helps you learn how stuff works faster.1/?

@terrymatz oh, I just saw this - and this means I do need to add the #Lodestar finalists to my list (I was just powering through all the #Hugos in the last month)

... and "One Man's Treasure" was clever, whilst "The Year without Sunshine" made a point about community at a time when we probably need it.
Only the short stories (and the YA if I want to vote on the #Lodestar ) to go

CW: Doctor Who - 73 Yards
Hm. I'm torn on this one.
On the one hand, it's the first of RTD's episodes I think has wholly *worked* as an episode... but on the other, that's because it's RTD not really writing *Doctor Who* - like a lot of his more successful stuff in genre, it feels more like the weirder end of British SF&F TV - your *Sapphire and Steel*s and *The Prisoner*s in different senses - than Dr Who. #doctorwho #73yards

@CM30 as with many of the weirder things Nu-Who has moved towards, it feels to me more Sapphire and Steel than Doctor Who (reboot #sapphireandsteel , and not just as audiobooks!)

CW: Super Meat Boy short gameplay video
Okay, #videogames #supermeatboy is almost at an end... but after attempting the final (light world) boss level for about 3 hours in total, I still have absolutely no idea how to do the bit I die at in this video. And I mean no idea - I've tried approaching from various angles and I just die on the sawblades on the floor regardless (I might, if lucky, jump them once, but they get me the next time). What am I supposed to do here?

Maximally annoying #videogames experience: on my first attempt today at Gold ranking a segment of #SayonaraWildHearts I got a score within 100pts of the target. I then failed to get within 2/3s of it for the next 10 goes...

Okay, Fediverse, what am I doing wrong with acrylic nails? Both times I've tried them, after soaking, buffing, cleaning the natural nails... the first acrylic I've applied has stuck for approximately 5 seconds before popping off. I think I'm doing everything right, it just feels like the glue isn't... strong enough? #acrylicnailshelp #acrylicnails

CW: Slay The Princess spoilers
I've been trying to think about what it is I like about Slay The Princess so much, and, well, it's a lot of things. I'll admit to being a sucker for a metaphysical metaplot with beings that speak in abstract poetry. I also like a plot where we're playing with metaphor and reactivity - that's also where I start to talk about things like #revolutionarygirlutena although in many ways StP is as different from Utena as it is similar.

So, TUNIC has been my current game for the past week, although it's taken quite a while for me to gel with (in the end, I had to turn on no-fail mode for it so I could ignore respawning enemies / combat in favour of the good bits), and that's really helped solidify the fact that, honestly, 90% of the time, I really don't want combat in my puzzle | narrative game. Combat in a game with none of those things, sure. (Tunic *does* have a lot of exploration, which is very good) #tunicgame

@jynersolives I also played #TidesofNumenera and #CitizenSleeper this year, and both of them could be in my top 3 (Numenera clearly runs out of money by the end though). Same for #AlphaProtocol which I also finally played this year - great, except for all the rough edges.
(Also, none of these came out in 2023 ;) - I only played 2 games that did, of which #MediterraneaInferno is probably the better).
My most enjoyed thing though was #TheSpiritWorld : a #Quake mod & map pack! -
CW: Output for Advent of Code Day 17
Okay, so here's #adventofcode Day 17 pt 1 as an animation via #makie in #julia . (In the end, the main problem was that I'd just updated my graphics drivers...)

CW: Output for Advent of Code Day 17
fiddling with #Makie to get plots of my paths - this is part 1 (I still can't quite get the animated version to work without "broken pipe" errors).
