When frozen food suggests for you to refer to your air fryer manual for timings

Been talking about this trend for years when it comes to games spending. Why are there premium gamepads, $149 collector's editions, Pro consoles and general rising prices? Because the price-insensitive, affluent players are the ones doing more of the spending as everyone else shifts more to f2p.

But like - if you like books there are nice bookshops to go. If you like board games there are board game cafes. We have … PAX events? Gamescom? It’s hardly widening the circle. Our curators are twitch streamers; again, okay if you’re in that culture already but totally weird if not

I threw Vaporwave Pinball & Hellscreen into a bundle on again for the Brutal Indies Steam showcase & I have sold more copies this last 2 days then the entire year combined! Get both my games for less then 5 quid / 6 dollars and see what the fuss is about. store.steampowered.com/app/2465930/...

Not sure which one to build next, I'd like to do Sahelanthropus but the paint job looks tough...

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

This tweet aged gracefully. In 2021 I was asked to do NFTs. 4 weeks of work for $1 million. I got harassed for months by cryptobros for saying no. The project went ahead without me and the offer was legit. NFTs were and are a grift, peddled by the same techbros as AI

Milestone birthday today 😅

Happy 30th Anniversary to Gundam Wing!

Wow, I don't even like the Spice Girls but you know that would have been entertaining!

Hurrah! search.app/rgbyJ

I refuse to buy any booster packs.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................unless they do Endless Waltz

Putting this out there: please let me come on to your podcast or talk at your event! It was a challenge or more work than it was worth to it this previously (cough) but now i can do whatever I want (whoo) so bring on the invites!

My favourite episode so far, probably because it felt like we got to talk more business in this one 😅

Yay! mcvuk.com/business-new...

Very smart people have been saying this for a while Unfortunately, retention is being used as an excuse for predatory practices and genuinely very dark stuff. This isn't a retention based on respect, care, transparency, and quality. I wish.

The attention economy is saturated and has been for a *while*. We're no longer in an economy of audience-growth, but of audience-retention.

Had an awesome set of matches with a player in SF 3rd Strike on Arcade Club Leeds on their SEGA Versus City cab. Having online is nice but it simply cannot compare with in-person matches and the ability to interact after each match.

More positive news like this please!

I know nothing about Magic the Gathering but when I saw the shop had the Gundam Card Game, I couldn't say no.

Back at Arcade Club Leeds

Met with the @landfall.se team at Develop and they gave me this awesome goodie bag of HASTE mech, greatly appreciated!

I'd love to know the development sunk cost of the Perfect Dark reboot.

#Baltimore Mayor #BrandonScott invested in 42 summer youth camps, 29 literacy programs, extended the rec center hours to 11 p.m, planned block parties, opened the pools for safe fun, & opened several schools up for summer classes. Crime is down 62%. 🔥🔥 www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Finally got a CPS3 board (multi) so based on my luck, expect a MiSTer FPGA announcement any day now..

Correction in the podcast: When I'm talking about availability, I said the PSN version is playable on PS4, that's incorrect, its only playable on PS3, PSP & PSVita. The only PS4 version is via Castlevania Requiem collection which also has Rondo of Blood.

Did you know Gunpla sales in Japan and overseas have a 1:1 ratio? More facts from Bandai Namco's GM of the Gundam Business Division:

FYI - I recorded gameplay from the Xbox Live version of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for the post below

Xbox has cancelled its Perfect Dark reboot and closed its developer The Initiative, it's confirmed. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/xbox-ha...

This is a tough read for obvious reasons but I think Unity has questions to answer as to how someone with a documented history of sexual misconduct was placed into a public-facing position of power.

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

If it's so boring how come I've bought Shenmue 2 multiple times?

Hey @mikejmika.bsky.social, have you seen this collection?

Third party unit share of Switch 2 physical software during week 1 reached just shy of 40%. For month 1 of the Switch launch it was less than 20%.

Hate to contribute to a Discourse, but 3rd party share of Switch 2 software in the US is far better than it was during the Switch 1 launch.

Always be wary of the bomb 😂

I wasn't really enjoying Fast Fusion as much as the previous games but it's growing on me. The races still feel slower than Fast RMX for some reason, even with a lower weighted vehicle and higher top speed.
