In the second edition of my FPS column, FOV 90, we're talking FPS rotations: Do you cycle between a handful of familiar shooters that continue to be great? www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/wh...

HELLUVA game between the Storm and Aces. (This is also me hard launching my new sport fandom.)

It’s giving agents Johnson and Johnson from Die Hard.

Somehow, now feels like the exact right time to get into Sisters of Mercy. 🦇

I feel like whenever this guy appears on your screen you know some horrendous shit is about to go down.

Take some time out of your Silksonging to read @dilfpatrol.bsky.social on cool indie horror and the eternal value of tank controls: "Caput Mortum ... makes the controls one of your primary enemies, elevating a pretty good horror game to a truly memorable one."

Holy smokes, just saw that @pcgamer.com covered the Palestine games charity bundle too!!! Thank you so much for the coverage!! ❤️ www.pcgamer.com/games/you-ca...

Hello, I am sad about the videogame. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/as...

Paige Bueckers is unreal.

This was a painful story to write about my favourite game, but I fear that, if anything, I am underselling the size of the problems it now faces. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/i-...

Strong recommend from me for Together, the new Alison Brie and Dave Franco body horror movie. Creepy, funny, and surprisingly sweet in places. 💀💀💀💀 Here's the trailer, but as ever you're better off not watching the trailer and going in cold. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZDs...

Destiny 2 Economy Team Lead. I honestly believe I could fix it. (And it is unlikely I would do worse.) *cries in Unstable Cores*

Honestly, I kinda love this for Ben Affleck.

Our last day using Parsely. Feels like an appropriate way to go out. Pouring one out for a real one.

Bombing hospitals endlessly wasn't enough. Gunning down people queuing for food in their hundreds wasn't enough. Perhaps mass starvation of an entire populace will break this spell over our institutions that are too cowed to make any criticism of these horrors.

Another day in the Slack trenches with @woodwould.bsky.social

Absolutely dystopian juxtaposition from the Guardian front page. Difficult to understand how anyone of decency and conscience can defend this government at this point. Just sheer moral degeneracy to arm a state that does this and arrest people for objecting. Wtf are we doing as a country?

Help me understand US sports. I don't really have a team, but I like basketball, so I started following the Chicago Sky in the WNBA. Figured I could get in on the ground up. But trying to watch the games is a Byzantine nightmare. I bought the League Pass, but almost all Sky games are blacked out.

Other than when I was with Kaiser in California, every step of the US healthcare system involves a different provider who wants the same huge sheath of documents, ID, credit card, unique patient portal etc. Nothing is shared and it's a nightmare getting them to interact with each other. 👍

Boiled Kuckles? Void Beaks? Sacks of Nuts? I've been badgering @robinlvalentine.bsky.social to get our 'match the currency to the game' quiz live for ages, only to shame myself answering it. It's tough, try it: www.pcgamer.com/games/can-yo...

Matt Turnbull, Executive Producer at Xbox Game Studios Publishing - after the Microsoft layoffs - suggesting on Linkedin that may maybe people who have been let go should turn to AI for help. He seriously thought posting this would be a good idea.

We are dabbling in quizzes over at PC Gamer. I was the Chosen One (due to a birthmark on my head that spells out the word "QUIZ") to create our inaugural quiz, and if you would like to take the quiz and let me know what you think about the quiz that would be quiz www.pcgamer.com/games/quiz-t...

Your options for self-funded game dev becoming a sustainable career: 1. Have existing money or income. or 2. Get extremely lucky while doing everything perfectly.

Only went to Glastonbury once, rained, hated it - but that's a me and the outdoors issue. It's still a treat watching the highlights on the BBC though. Every year I come away with a dozen finds to check out. This page will fill up with them this weekend: www.youtube.com/@BBCMusic/vi...

A rat just fell off our gate and onto my foot, AMA.

Incidentally this is a huge credibility boost for AOC. She took a risk, and it paid off.

Been a couple of years since I lived in NY but delighted to see the Dem establishment fail to get Cuomo back in. I hadn’t realised quite what a useless, stupid bunch they were until I lived in the US and watched them fumble every ball. Good luck to Zohran - the city deserves fresh thinking.

Since it's Deus Ex's 25th birthday, here's me in PC Gamer a few years ago gettin real deep into the making of Liberty Island with Harvey Smith. "Iron and copper."

I know there are more important things happening, but why do the Pixies live records sound like they were recorded on a flip phone?

Biblically accurate Tooth Fairy. 🦷🧚

His dumbass bot couldn’t even match Christopher Walken to the correct movie last time I saw the blue checks using it.

@samuelwroberts.bsky.social this feels like the worst kind of bait www.cbr.com/mindhunter-s... Might carrying the sentence like Atlas’s shoulders.

"Siege's secret sauce is that there is no 'other' Siege to match its combination of competitive lethality, operator counterplay, and granular destruction. I believe that uniqueness can also explain some of its big missteps over the years." www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/ra...

Went to see the horror movie Bring Her Back, which was both very effective and deeply unpleasant, so much so that I am now in a foul mood. Job well done, I guess? www.youtube.com/watch?v=1I15...

Discord is supposed to be a safe space.

David Graeber said this in 2012 about protests in New York City. Though this is increasingly what is happening this week in Los Angeles. davidgraeber.org/articles/con...

Excellent stuff by @lincolnhello.bsky.social

Very cool video for Talking Heads' Psycho Killer to celebrate the band's 50th anniversary. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ54...

This is baller stuff from the maker of one of my all-time favourite games. Also, one to keep in the back pocket for the “keep politics out of ma vidya games” dolts.

Spent some time up at Bungie playing The Edge of Fate expansion. We have a preview and new exotics guide from @rygilliam.bsky.social on @pcgamer.com. My contribution is this interview with Tyson Green and Robbie Stevens, which I very much enjoyed. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/de...

We put on that new Captain America movie last night and at some point I wandered off, did the dishes and didn’t come back. It’s so boring and badly written that the actors sound like they were recorded at the first table read.

Snagged a ticket to see Godspeed You! Black Emperor in a graveyard. Surely going to be the best venue since I saw them in a chapel at sunset.

GAVIN NEWSOM: so you’ve got a really interesting history in the biosciences, why don’t you tell me more about that? NEMESIS: STARS!

I'm sure it's a sign of a healthy economy that one of the main sales tactics on Instagram is 'holy shit things are so bad that we've gone bust which means our prices are rock bottom'.

Don’t threaten me with a good time
