    Sonic Rush Adventure
    American Cover Sonic Rush Adventure is noteworthy for being the last unique handheld Sonic co-developed by Dimps, before they began making companion versions of the main games. It’s also noteworthy for being a shockingly ambitious sequel, keeping the same gameplay but placing it within a huge sea-faring adventure (inspired by director Sakae Osumi’s fondness for such stories) where you explore the ocean, fight pirates, and discover all sorts of things. …

    Ptolus: Running the Campaign – Killing Orc Babies
    DISCUSSING In the Shadow of the Spire – Session 42A: Rat Mothers But Ranthir, upon hearing the word “flee”, whirled around and webbed the far side of the room: The mothers, the albino, and Berq were all helplessly caught – except for one mother, trapped in the corner, who futilely screamed for help in her despair. Tor closed on her and ruthlessly killed both her and the baby ratlings. With …

    Carry Scenario: Kid’s Birthday
    For an introduction to the Carry Scenarios series, look here. You know two things that are really incompatible? Espada XLs and kid’s birthdays. Please don’t decide to show your allegiance to the Second Amendment cause by cutting food that comes in sheet form (sheet cake, sheet pizza, sheet of brownies) with a CKRT XOC. The weird thing is, despite the sensitive to scary knives, I have never been to a …

    Wherein I have a time-machine fantasy
    We first started selling online tickets in 2005. We first started accepting credit cards at the bar in 2012. And If I could send a message through time to decades-ago past-me (and if for some reason it couldn't just be a Biff Tannen gambit) then that message would be: "CASH ONLY FOREVER, NEVER DO CREDIT CARDS OR ONLINE SALES". (And if I get a second sentence, "Don't date ████ or …

    Creating Static SVGs from GeoJSON
    Recently I’ve been working with map data to create interactive visualisations. When working with maps it’s common to receive data as GeoJSON, a JSON format for encoding geographic features, which specifies the type of geometry and co-ordinates for the features we want to display on a map. Javascript mapping libraries such as Mapbox GL are designed to consume GeoJSON to render features on a canvas. I’m fairly accustomed to using …

    The Eager Beaver Space Book (1962)
    As I keep digging in my collection I have found Space Beavers! This was a promotional comic book from Cities Service gasoline. It probably was a give-away with purchase. It reflects the early 60s where the Mercury launches had taken place and we were looking ahead to the future. The whole premise is a beaver who is invited to go on one of the early space voyages. The twist is …

    The need for a strategic fact reserve
    Countries - and state-scale corporates - should each be working on their own Strategic Fact Reserve. If they’re not already. Let me trace the logic… AI as cognitive infrastructure Assume for a moment that AI is upstream of productive work. It’ll start off that people just go faster with AI, and then it’ll become essential. I remember hearing that legal contracts got longer when word processors were introduced (I’d love …
