Yes, that's me. You might be wondering why I'm holding a review copy of Fallout 76. You wouldn't be the only one. Apparently, as an ironic punishment for reviewing 70+ fake fallout games for @rockpapershot, I now have to review the real thing.
Having read a fair amount about this game already, I'm keen to have some moral support for the journey ahead, so I'm going to be streaming pretty extensively at twitch.tv/realmsoffighti…, starting at 3pm.
I'm planning on pretty much streaming this as a marathon for the rest of the day and the night, on the principle that a problem shared is a problem halved, so feel free to drop in any time!

PSA for anyone keen on buying my big book of fictional video games - Amazon seems to be dispatching them a bit late for Christmas, but Waterstones can get them to you on time! waterstones.com/book/100-best-…
I have _no idea_ how Amazon works. I was delighted when loads of people RTed stuff about 100 Games this week, but Amazon taking 1 week plus to ship is disappointing. I can cope with the responsibility of marketing my published work, but I feel a bit powerless over distribution!
FWIW, I'm really sorry I keep coming out here on the beg for you all to buy the book. The truth is, for authors who aren't massive names, 90% of marketing after launch month comes down to us peddling our wares online, hoping we don't alienate folks by talking like salespeople.

If you're still shopping for christmas, this book will sort out everything for 8 quid. It's 100 completely fictional games, reviewed in depth & illustrated by professional games artists, and the person retweeting this will tell you just what a laugh it is: amazon.co.uk/Best-Video-Gam…
Thrill at the groundbreaking annelid business simulation of WORM SALESMAN '84!
Sob at the deep, deep personal pain on display in GRIEF COPS!

Just had my first proper advert dad moment going through departures at berlin-tegel. After 5 minutes of confusion over what to do with the baby's pushchair, the security lads politely commanded me to fully disassemble it, as a massive queue of waiting businessmen watched on.
We'd already held everyone up for ages, so I was feeling acutely anxious, & suddenly the pressure of the moment folded some valve of my brain completely shut. I forgot all my German, most of my English, & every conception of the pushchair as something more than an abstract shape.
I was just sort of pawing at the joints of the thing, making quiet, plaintive honking sounds - all my memory of the infernal engine's folding mechanism had vanished like snow before piss, but I figured I could postpone humiliation by at least *miming* that I was putting it down.

Dark Matter Hunters Pivot After Years of Failed Searches - WIRED

“Pivot” is an interesting choice of words. Sorta implies that one is pivoting from one thing (WIMPS) to something else. In which case the “something else” needs to be specified. apple.news/AfFMHcOI9QlK8e…
The whole dark matter search community reminds me of Daffy Duck in the episode quoted from IMDb here. [shockingly, I do not instantly find a gif of Daffy falling off said cliff.]
Reading this article does not inspire confidence. Sounds more like they’re poised to make the same mistakes all over again. Having spent decades in a fruitless search for WIMPs motivated by the WIMP miracle - an irrelevant numerical coincidence - might they decide to learn more?

MINI CHART STORM

1/
Let’s start with structure...The 2nd leg down out a major high is usually more impulsive (trendy) than the 1st leg. The minimum structure for price travel is a zig-zag or 3 waves. The 3rd wave is almost always stronger than the 1st of a zig zag. $SPX
2/
This chart has significant timing implications as expectation is to have similar proportions in time BUT STRONGER TRAVEL in price - using this basis its possible to estimate a drop into the 12th which is a Geometrics timing +/- 1.5 days for us for a long time as u know.
3/
A bounce would be likely from the 12th +/- 1.5 days into christmas (the infamous Santa rally people fail to properly understand) and then a drop to 2100s to 2300s into January 2 or so

It couldn’t be any clearer what Republicans in states like GA and TX are doing. They are purposely undermining voting rights for Black and Latino Americans. Here’s how they’re doing it:
1. #GA Republicans are holding up the voter registration of 53,000, mostly Black people. The state’s Secretary of State Brian Kemp who oversees the voting roll is in a race for governor against Democrat @StaceyAbrams: nbcnews.com/politics/elect…
2. Florida has barred ex-felons who have completed their sentences from voting in the state denying 1.5 million people the right to vote. A referendum on the ballot in November would restore voting rights to these people: nytimes.com/2018/09/26/mag…

Thread alert! Atherosclerosis (official journal of @society_eas) publishes a #review on #TraditionalChineseMedicine (#TCM). It's simultaneously a bit frightening and hilarious (1/16)

atherosclerosis-journal.com/article/S0021-…
First of all, TCM is BS. It may have been useful thousands of years ago when nothing was known about science but nowadays we know better. Besides, "modern TCM" was pretty much invented by Chairman Mao in the 50's: slate.com/articles/healt… (2/16)
Look at this terrifying aim of the review! "WHAT IS NECESSARY FOR TCM TO SPREAD TO WESTERN SOCIETIES". Ideological bias, much? (3/16)

OK, look, sometimes people mess up. We all have times when we mess up. We all have times when we make two or three bad errors in succession. We're human. #1/23
The @newsundayherald is one of the important institutions of Scotland's news media. Admittedly it's less important now as our new media develops, but it was a big win for #Yes when, in 2014, it nailed our colours to its mast. #2/23
However, there's two aspects to that decision: yes, @newsundayherald's decision to come on board helped the #Yes movement, but the #Yes movement repaid that with a substantial boost in sales for the @newsundayherald. #3/23

Yes, Trump will actually take time to correct a reporter who pretends there were plenty of empty seats once Trump was speaking at one of his rallies.

theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/12/09/he-…
This is because Trump grasps something many past R Presidents did not: you HAVE to counter the media attempts to create false perceptions like this.

Neither Bush ever grasped this, & it made their jobs 10x harder.
Trump FORCED Weigel to retract his false tweet. Trump using his Twitter did 2 things: it raised the VISIBILITY of both Weigel's false claim AND the fact he was forced to retract it.
