Almost all writing advice is bullshit — if it doesn’t help you, ignore it. If a piece of advice lights your fire, lean in. There are no rules. Anyone asserting that writing must be a certain way is an amateur.

Incredibly sad about Vince Zampella. I spent an extraordinary part of my career with Vince and this is a terrible ending to his life. One time my wife and I were on vacation in London and he was down south, so he invited us to join him and we got to play with tanks. This is Vince driving a tank.

christ this is terrible

Having a save-anywhere save/load system and a bug reporter that uploads save files to the cloud is like a cheat code for game development. I was able to load a save file from July to confirm that a change I made today wouldn't break the thing from 5 months ago.

Listen, maybe it’s because I’m playing it 9 years later, but DOOM 2016 isn’t that great. Yes, it reinterpreted Doom for modern audiences, but along all the other games, it’s a standard by the books shooter that gets by on its style rather than substance.

Hey you reading this. That Warhammer thing you're doing, be it painting or playing to reading or building or just being a member of the community. You're doing an awesome job and are appreciated. Keep it up.

Artists, show us your red art 🩸

I speak to you now from completing version test 4 of my contrast mixes for Night Lords armour over the years. The first was horrifically complicated. The second was slightly less complicated but temperamental. The third was Night Lords adjacent. The fourth, though, may be On The Money and easier.

If movie theaters were a thing consumers loved, they would be there. They go there for horror movies, some action blockbusters. Let me reiterate a line I wrote decades ago about the nascent digital space: Consumers have taken control of their entertainment experience & they are never giving it back.

Hey Netflix! Now that you (accidentally) own Asheron’s Call, sell it back to Standing Stone Games @officiallotro.bsky.social

NEW: “We’ve hit a snag” - The untold saga behind a missing Star Wars video game DLC that spawned a lawsuit One of the most detailed stories I’ve ever run. An inside look at the year-long struggle to make KOTOR II’s cut content available in the game’s Switch port. www.gamefile.news/p/kotor-ii-r...

Psyker is fun

It is never a critic’s job to give the slightest fuck about a Metacritic score.

I love #MyHeroAcademia because not only does it have great characters, but everyone single one of them gets their time to shine. I just watched the episode of Fat Gum, and oh my god he's utterly amazing!

My take on the Adeptus Mechanicus symbol, which has featured in various books for the 40k ttrpg Wrath & Glory.

I'm old. If you're not, listen to this. Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder. Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever. It's literally never been more important.

Narrative design is seen as "expendable" because it's not "top-level game design", says BAFTA Breakthrough participant Cara Ellison. But narrative is "the thing that actually keeps people picking the controller back up." www.gamesindustry.biz/bafta-breakt...

Introduce yourself with four spaceships

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum". PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TvW...

Finished #DragonAge2! I could easily say a lot about it, but it's definitely a game you need to take at face value, not what it could be or what you wanted it to be. In that way, I loved it.

"Gamlen's Greatest Treasure" is actually a fantastic name in context for this quest in #DragonAge2. I'm hoping it ends the way I think it does.

The "Frieren angle" thing, apart from just being delightful, also completely demolishes the pathetic "AI is democratising art" argument. Someone struggling with a difficult drawing received advice from hundreds of strangers who just wanted to help them improve their art.

40k battle scenes! All of these are for the 40k ttrpg Wrath & Glory.

Quoting this and pointing at DICE awards

Trust Cara, she has your best intentions in heart.

Hot take: Death Stranding 2 should be replaced with Blue Prince.

I KNOW IT'S 15 YEARS LATER BUT I'M PLAYING DRAGON AGE 2 AND THEY JUST KILLED MY MOTHER AND CRYING AND SO ANGRY

I enjoy watching painting tutorials, but I really enjoy when videos show a way to solve a problem. It's why Duncan Rhodes newest video is so good. He takes the problem of trying to recreate a color scheme without the exact paints and shows how to make it work www.youtube.com/watch?v=60E7...

lots of people i know listen to podcasts while playing games, even story-heavy single-player games, and i struggle so much to comprehend why anyone would want to do this

I tuned into the @nextlander.com stream at the PERFECT time.

Update: Red Dead Redemption is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and mobile next month with free upgrade paths on some platforms. gameinformer.com/2025/11/13/r...

More Milla, holding her friend's helmet.

A great one from @dreamcastaway.bsky.social about enjoying (or not enjoying) a game on its own terms, rather than what we wished it was instead.

We've paid Amelia Tyler, the narrator of Baldur's Gate 3, to voice pieces of the PC Gaming Show since 2023. If *we* can do it, a major game studio can definitely pay actors to say "I found some rusted tools" in ARC Raiders.

This but basketball

Little Rookie is coming to life! Despite setbacks, it has been a fun model to work on. Just hope I'll figure out some use for her model, and perhaps find a way to tell the story of Rook and Mindare.

Maybe I should play FFVII

am I gonna keep reposting this cute Cloud in a dress from last year ? you bet I will
