I wrote a guide on how to teach Root! (or at least how I teach it) in c/boardgames@feddit.de

That's great! Since most of the people I play with are scattered geographically we play with the app and I actually learned via the app before getting a chance to play it on the table. It's definitely a game where a lot of thought has been put into the tutorials

What are the highest quality search engines? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] HipPriest@kbin.social 0 points 8 months ago

According to some people on the fediverse, the Kagi forum thread that is linked in the toots I posted above and seemingly nowhere else.

From a non political standpoint: I tried Kagi last year and it was ok but I didn't get the big deal. And because I'm not in the US but the UK if you try searching where's my nearest garage or stay the nearest result came up as 150 miles away. So it's one of those things I'll maybe return to it once it's developed a bit more

Happy 90th birthday to Tom Baker, my first Doctor! in c/doctorwho@lemmy.world

The definitive Doctor for me. Growing up during the wilderness years and VHS and UK Gold repeats were what we had to go on I loved both the earlier 'horror' seasons and the more humorous ones with the Romanas.

Wonderful actor.

Ace and the 7th Doctor were the first Doctor Who I saw - her beating up a Dalek with a baseball bat is my favourite companion moment ever from all of Who!

The sources I find are solely from mastodon threads, and date from this month and the Brave thing. This is the best thing I've found

Britain’s Home Secretary apologizes for joke about spiking his wife’s drink with date-rape drug in c/world@lemmy.world
[–] HipPriest@kbin.social 9 points 9 months ago

God's sake. I mean... At least he's apologising? I could imagine some of our recent lot doubling down on this and refusing to give in to wokeness blah blah blah...

But yeah. I'm really trying hard to be charitable cos it's Christmas and everything. That's not really pleasant stuff to hear from the guy who is in charge of the Police (over 1,100 under investigation for sexual assault or domestic violence atm)

Male players: Why do you play female characters? in c/gaming@beehaw.org
[–] HipPriest@kbin.social 5 points 9 months ago

It depends on the game, character etc. I mean I suppose it adds to the escapism slightly?

I play all sorts of different games though, some where you're not given the choice (Life Is Strange for example) and I don't feel like it's that big a deal

Reminiscing about Remembrance Of The Daleks (thisisyesterday.org)
 

New entry in my blog about media that shaped me growing up - my first memory of TV is the famous cliffhanger to part 1.

I'd maybe still rate it as the best Dalek story but I can't be objective about it really!

Doctor Who's first Dalek story colourised for new feature-length revamp (www.radiotimes.com)
 

Well this could be very interesting indeed... Obviously the main question is how on earth can they cut anything from that story down to 75 minutes when it's already such a lean script with no padding at all?!?

I'm a huge Troughton fan though, and while I'm g glad there's been something of a First Doctor revival in the last few years it'd be great to see a colourised Mind Robber or something as well, not that it will happen...

It's nice to know that they're planning to do some more Hartnell animations. Although The Smugglers would seem like quite an odd choice

Police officers widely misusing body-worn cameras (www.bbc.com)

It was hoped video would increase transparency in policing, but BBC has uncovered 150 reports of failings.

"The most serious allegations include:

*Cases in seven forces where officers shared camera footage with colleagues or friends - either in person, via WhatsApp or on social media

*Images of a naked person being shared between officers on email and cameras used to covertly record conversations

*Footage being lost, deleted or not marked as evidence, including video, filmed by Bedfordshire Police, of a vulnerable woman alleging she had been raped by an inspector - the force later blamed an "administrative error"

*Switching off cameras during incidents, for which some officers faced no sanctions - one force said an officer may have been "confused"

Braverman accused of trying to ‘derail’ Chris Kaba case (www.opendemocracy.net)
 

The home secretary backed police and ordered a review of armed units after officers protested over a murder charge

Background on this for non-UK people -

  • Black guy shot by armed policeman whilst sitting in his own car.

  • Policeman arrested for murder, released on bail.

  • Last weekend armed police 'strike' by dropping their weapons because one of their own has been charged with murder

As per usual the victim is being forgotten in all of this while it turns into a massively corrupt political game.
