ULEZ set to come to Hillingdon

The Mayor of London, has announced that he will expand the ULEZ London-wide from 29/08/2023.   In a joint statement from Hillingdon, Harrow, Bexley and Croydon councils, Hillingdon Council Leader, Cllr Ian Edwards, said: “Hillingdon remains vehemently opposed to these half-baked plans and we will do everything in our power to stop it from going ahead.”   The four councils have resolved to work together to resist its implementation by using all means at their disposal.   #hillingdon #ulez #ultralowemissionzone #airpollution #climateemergency #congestion Read the full article

do you think Edwin's fixation with the neon sign in Jenny's shop has anything to do with the fact that it's a map of meat

does anyone appreciate a good map more than Edwin Payne?

#for legal reasons i have to say that this is a joke #i've seen it said that he's appreciating the neon light itself but he's lived in modern london for thirty years #i feel like he'd be used to neon lights by now?? #that wide eyed open mouthed look of awe is killing me #edwin payne please explain #dead boy detectives #dbda #edwin payne

Would Diegesis and Pages get along? What about Liam and the Academic?

Diegesis, maybe go ask a Spirifer for something to eat before you try that again.

[Bonus Panel with Lee and The Academic over here.]

#nonplatonic forms #Fallen London #Diegesis #Mr Pages #comics #Either this is the most widely requested question #or one person is going to be very happy with this week's comic. #Anyway gods kind of work in the reverse in Fallen London #Their gaze shapes reality #But in NPF gods are subject to the human gaze as they are aggregate concepts #Anyway I think it makes sense that I had to break my two-panel rule for these windbags #You're all just lucky that this comic isn't a 10k word essay #But yeah Diegesis would try to put the fear of god in Pages #His morals may be questionable but he's falling for Lee so #yeah the guy loves weird little art with all his inhuman heart #He'd rip Censorship apart with his teeth if the concept was left alone in a room with him

I think the biggest thing about Sunless Skies that gives it a different feel than Fallen London (other than the obvious gameplay differences) is the position of your player in the universe. In Flondon, your character is important and singular. The storyline is oriented around mastery and influence: starting from the bottom and climbing to the top, gaining recognition and reach as you unravel the world's secrets. While social play is encouraged, there are few in-game characters comparable to the PC, and in many plotlines the idea of being the only or the first one to accomplish a certain thing is specifically emphasized. The story is about what path you take to Make Your Name.

In Sskies, that goal is not absent, but there's a sense of...fleetingness, that never quite leaves you. There are many others like you. You see their entries in the cache logs, they are mentioned in the ports and pubs, you find their frozen bodies littering the open void like stones. It is the very first thing you know when you start: you are a Captain filling the shoes of a predecessor, and in all likelihood simply keeping them warm for the next to come after you, and the next. Your time is limited. Your significance to the wild, vast, ancient skies is negligible. The drive in the story comes from this: Your space in this universe is small and hard fought. Make it count.

#fallen london #sunless skies #i would say I like the sskies version better but honestly I think they both work great for their own applications #both in setting and for the way the games are played #I've seen the flondon fame gathering thing criticized occasionally but honestly I've always read it as like #a tongue in cheek parody on rich Victorian ego #as well as being inherently flexible，because of how players tend to treat the stories #for some it will be about doing Everything，but for most it's about getting a wide choice of what to focus on and how to specialize #in a character development sense #and also the story really is about How you get there and who you are while doing so #what with the quirks and everything #that's a mechanic that's notably absent from sskies #probably because your character is meant to be less permanent and less noticeable as an individual #most of the in-game character defining you do relates to building out their past with facets #because their present and future are so tentative and so embedded in the bigger picture #I really really like it. it's almost like the world is more the character #but ALSO the feel of like. the game does not treat loss lightly. there are Implications and narrative even for the loss of unnamed crew #it all also plays in so so nicely to the switch from flondon's tightly controlled sheltered chaos #(enclosed in a cave，tightly governed by the Bazaar，the sense of a new world building itself on top of older ones) #vs the Reach being so open and fraught and wild and legitimately teetering on the brink in every way #the way the characters are treated fits so so well into the political landscapes too #like. sskies is wartime. #the messaging that you the individual is fleeting and disposable and that it's what you donate your effort to that matters is Constant #so it works really really well there #oh now I want to go on again about how well the flondon way works in a meta sense for gameplay and community building #because it's emphasizing individuality while also paired so heavily with social actions and - #ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu #hey gang have i mentioned. I like fallen london a lot. hey have i mentioned yet that I like flondon A Lot #voidrambles #<- It Sure Does

the adventures of the neath's most annoying definitely-totally-a-bat-and-not-the-scoundrel-in-a-robe continue (cards. their name is mr cards. or so they insist.)

this time: coworker antics. tune in next week on dragon ball Z where we'll be killing all of them with hammers

#or: doodles of that bastard FL oc im still obsessed with yes #yin art #fallen london #ft. fires and wines! fires' design is inspired by @waterlogged-detective's art bc it's delightful #the masters are all just horrid little creatures in big cloaks. to me #anyway. microdosing on tuning down my standards for myself by posting the more sketchy wines doodle #it probably eats up the attention the scoundrel/cards keeps giving it bc it's. well. it's wines #they don't even mind that it keeps making them pay for its revels! they're the perfect stooge! #the scientist thinks they desperately need to raise their standards. and also stop being a freak #the scoundrel doesn't care what the scientist thinks (it has to save room in its brain for caring about wines instead) #also ✨Glorious Ascension✨ is how they refer to their bat hrt. they say the whole thing. every time. without fail. sparkles mandatory. #nobody knows what's wrong with them #not even themself #despite what this art implies they get along pretty okay with fires. insomuch as fires can get along with anything #the real reason nobody invites them to masterly meetings #is bc they react to literally everything with big wide eyes while enthusiastically asking if that's how it normally works #and everyone's getting really tired of telling them for the 15th time that no. veils biting people isnt usually how curators socialize #veils just does that #i mean. curators DO socialize by biting. but veils is doing it wrong

On this, the first day of the new year, enjoy this horror beyond imagining-- I mean, cloak pin.

MET, English, 1750–1800.

Coming out on phannie tumblr as a cooking hater and delivery fiend.

I identify with dnp because I also only use my kitchen for coffee and cereal and am a little confused and frightened by my stove top. And maybe I’ve gotten delivery for multiple meals in one day before.

"The only strange question I got was from [the] Montreal [Canadiens]. Both my parents worked in federal corrections, at the jail. Montreal's sports psychology doctor, he asked me, in honor of your parents, what if your teammate comes up to you one day and he tells you that he shoplifted at a store, and then the next morning you look in the newspaper and see that somebody else went to jail for shoplifting and he was a part of the same group as your teammate. He asked what I what I would do, and I just said nothing, I wouldn't throw my teammate under the bus kind of thing. After I answered it, they kind of just smiled. It was kind of a fun question, I guess."

I am fascinated by the combine lol

https://www.nhl.com/news/2023-nhl-draft-diary-brayden-yager/c-344808974?tid=277764372

what a useless question! as if any hockey literally ever is going to say he'd turn in his bro for shoplifting. how about teams start asking open-ended questions about what you'd do if you heard a rumor that a coaching staff member had sex with your teammate. let's see if any of them know how to answer that one. let's see if anybody asking it even does.

#anonymouskinis #not to get all serious about the extremely silly subject of the nhl combine #but this question misses the point by quite a wide margin #if the point is london this question is perth #anyway every time i see brayden yager i think he's such a cutie pie

At this question, Dorian let out a little laugh as he flashed Emily a charming smile, saying laxly, "Oh, don't you worry about that, my dear friend-if there's one thing I can say I've inherited from my parents (and can feel proud about), it's the ability to multitask in even the smallest windows of time!"

Last-minute party plans? Juggling them with planning the wedding of the century? No problem: The Gracey's had a number of contacts that could and would drop everything in order to put together a quick little shindig that would appear as if it had been planned down to the most minute detail. Caterers, decorators, musicians, entertainers, all of them would jump to the Gracey's aid, in order to make their party the most magnificent and memorable, as well as never let on to the guests that it was more or less a last-minute idea.

Still, as lavish as it would no doubt be, it would also be no doubt very stuffy, very boring-in some ways, it'd be less about celebrating the happy couple and more about keeping up appearances to the neighbors, but that was nothing new to Dorian-he too felt it could still be a last hurrah before their departure, a celebration within a celebration, right under his family's noses!

And who better to invite to such an occasion than his very bestest friend...
