Development of Worms DC 1.5 has officially begun!

Massive thanks to Zeb Elwood of SWAG for modernising my Amiga and swapping the hard disk with an SD card solution.

I've pretty much stopped using Mastodon. The podcasting instance I had a Jump Leads profile is closing next month, so that's pretty much it dead for me.

I am on BlueSky, though! If we're friends, DM me elsewhere for an invite.

Reminder: I have a Patreon! I'm about $20 shy of the $100 a month mark. I would love to hit that mark before the end of the month, maybe even reach $150 by the end of the year?

Quick poll of audiodrama type folks: if I made @JumpLeadsScifi available as M4B audiobook files, would people, uh… want those? Play those? Buy those? Any interest?

Saw that my epicycle clock was getting noticed a bit again, so I finally took the time to make it use vector graphics - you can zoom in and it still looks good!

Fun bonus: Animated time offsets, watch it go spinny!

A zoomed in view of my epicycle clock, there is a series of loops from 10-o'clock to 12, and little dots to mark each minute.

"Piracy can't be stealing if paying for it isn't owning"

This is increasingly how it feels, when things you "own" digitally become inaccessible, and when shows which are locked in streaming services can get delisted on a whim, disappearing forever.

Thank you @Illuminatus for this quote.

[Edit: In case this wasn't clear, this is about entertainment and digital ownership, not physical goods]
