    @SecurityWriter Wow. This is one of those &amp;quot;It&amp;#39;s great after season 3, but you have to watch the first two seasons to understand why&amp;quot; things. Still it could be fun, I&amp;#39;ve not Gran Turismo&amp;#39;d for a while.

    I have a thought for neutering the gammons a bit. From now on we should refer to the European Human Rights Act as Churchills Human Rights Act. And now they are having to argue against Churchill and the rules he managed to convince the Europeans to accept.

    I wrote a very short mood piece story yesterday. Something that&amp;#39;s been stuck in my brain for years. Enjoy. https://khanate.co.uk/stories/old-guy.html

    @mina Isn&amp;#39;t it pretty?

    So yeah I realise I&amp;#39;ve not posted here in a while. I really should. And I should mention that I&amp;#39;m getting made redundant, which is one of those things I guess. Hopefully I&amp;#39;ll have some time to come up with some plans to be able to pay the mortgage and eat. Luckily I live in Scotland so my house was significantly cheaper than it would have been down South. There&amp;#39;s a lot of attempts at positivity going on in my brain.

    So yeah 460 words written today for a project and then I played a bit of Fallout New Vegas. Which was fun. As I&amp;#39;m not properly ramping up until April I&amp;#39;m cool with this. Got some plans for tomorrow. This is part of my ongoing post redundancy plans to refocus on writing and game design. Possibly still going to do some software development but I&amp;#39;m pretty burnt out on the whole thing really.

    139 words today not a lot but I did some work on a couple personal projects including play testing the rules for a solo journalling game I started a couple of years. The rules worked ok, I need to remember my plans for it. Still some progress made. #writing #ttrpgs

    So today I did a thing. I took a map I made a few years ago for a GURPS Dungeon Fantasy game I ran and used it to make a one page dungeon. This was mostly an experiment in learning to use Scribus to make PDF&amp;#39;s but I figured I would also use it an an experiment in making it available on Itch. It may also end up going up on DriveThru RPG. Lots to learn but I&amp;#39;m happy with there first steps. #ttrpg https://scimonkhan.itch.io/cave-of-the-demon-bear

    For various reasons I really don&amp;#39;t want to maintain my personal website. It&amp;#39;s too mentally draining at the moment. I was thinking of using Substack to write some of the articles I&amp;#39;m cogitating on but does anyone have any thoughts for other options for long form writing platforms?

    I&amp;#39;m sharing this again because I still feel it&amp;#39;s one of the best things I&amp;#39;ve ever written. https://khanate.co.uk/stories/fair-elora.html
