@pzmyers@freethought.online Mislabelled anatomy diagrams have always been my Achilles’ Vagina.

Meanwhile, in the world of Amazon reviews…

“…in the UK alone, an estimated 400,000 people live with the condition… The number of people with long Covid… was estimated in 2024 at 2 million in England and Scotland.” https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/sep/24/abandoned-dismissed-and-gaslighted-me-sufferers-betrayed #ME #LongCovid #CFS #ChronicFatigue

That’s the spirit! Thomas Benjamin Wild is working on a new album with a very deliberate theme. #Ukulele #Politics #Protest

@deinol@dice.camp On the Hero Games forum at the moment there are people discussing a seventh edition, as if it would have any effect on the game’s popularity with younger gamers.

That’s going to make an awful mess of the Plasticine.

@mhd@tilde.zone @deinol@dice.camp These days it seems that practically every RPG consists of multi-volume hefty hardbacks. I blame Kickstarter.

“Middle English edition”? Do you really mean that, Amazon? Ich doute nat that Chaucer wolde be wel plesed. #Language #Ukulele #MiddleEnglish

Madness! Leave them be: THEY EVOLVED BEAKS FOR A REASON.

Until consulting Wikipedia, I had no idea that some early resonator guitars were fitted with a cloaking device.

According to the browser translation of the game blurb, Acero Y Brujería is about “…a warm world where muscular and sinuous bodies sweat and bleed…”. I think the computer is getting a bit overexcited. #FudgeRPG #RPG

@RogerBW@oldbytes.space Seems to be rather full of Beatles songs. Al þou nedest is luve Al þou nedest is luve Al þou nedest is luve, luve Luve is al þou nedest

@RogerBW@oldbytes.space Sadly, it seems to be the regular edition. What a missed opportunity.

@RogerBW@oldbytes.space Not sure how one would go about translating songs like “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo”…

@Printdevil@dice.camp It was hard enough finding any picture of him that didn’t have alamy written all over it.

@shimminbeg@masto.ai Given how many people think that podcasts should be on YouTube, this does not surprise me.

Honestly, it's a little crazy how difficult I have found it to make a playable (to me) version of this song. Most ukulele chord sheets for it leave out the introductory verse, but trying to piece together a full version from someone else's chorus with my attempts at writing up the verse has been quite a struggle. I *think* I might have got there at last. Even so, this won't be anything like the way that Cliff Edwards played it: he tended to use what would be chord shapes from the key of F (if he were playing a gCEA ukulele) but on a uke with a different tuning to make the end result fit the key he needed. I'm simply not yet knowledgeable enough about music theory to get that to work here, so this version is in C. The tune itself is an absolute classic and does, as the title says, have a fascinating rhythm to it (one of the reasons I've found it so hard to play). The most famous recording may be by Fred Astaire and George Gershwin himself, but I don't think it's ever been performed better than by Cliff Edwards, who introduced the song on Broadway with Astaire in the 1924 musical "Lady, Be Good": https://youtu.be/brFJ4_CcYs4 #Ukulele #UkuleleIke #CliffEdwards #Gershwin

@Printdevil@dice.camp Do assassins make much noise?

@ccferrie@mastodon.ie Indeed. In my part of England we did the rather less serious welly wanging.

@AccordionBruce@mastodon.social Not great, is it? The battery on my iPhone Mini is slowly deteriorating, but I’ll stick with it until the end!

I probably ought to have posted a link directly to all of the publisher’s Fudge material, rather than just the one. They have three books so far, at a very reasonable £1.50 each: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher/35006/fuentegris #FudgeRPG #RPG #Games

@MacBalance@mstdn.games Maybe I’ll just catch up when they do the final episode 😁

@Printdevil@dice.camp @vortiwife@retro.pizza I defer to your clearly expert knowledge in such areas.

@WTL@mastodon.social @Nickiquote@mstdn.social @mattblaze@federate.social @arclight@oldbytes.space It's much easier to take them off and pack them in the supplied case.
