I fear for Avatar releasing on the same weekend where we’d all happily watch Tate and Paul getting knocked out over and over again.

Wake up, Sleeper. Congratulations to our Narrative recipient for 2025, Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector!

Rockstar now claims it was, in fact, the leaking of “specific game features from upcoming and unannounced titles” that led to the firings. We’re going to have to see the company prove this in an employment tribunal & more than that, it’ll need to prove it for all 31 fired employees in the UK too.

Monet was the first person to paint blue snow, don't you know.

"The industry's finest sustainable storyteller" is an appellation that we'll wear with pride. Thank you, @jeremypeel.bsky.social and the Edge team, for this wonderful profile in January's issue.

Fallen London could eat most other narrative games for breakfast and still have room for more. Just look at everything the team has achieved this year!! It's monster!!

Surprise!

Aperture, 2019, Jason Anderson A luminous vision of urban dawn, this painting merges pastel-toned blocks of oil into a shimmering horizon where a singular glowing sun anchors the scene. Textured palette-knife strokes evoke mosaic light and the quiet tension between nature and man-made form. #art

It's hard to find words to capture quite how revolting, steeped in bigotry, irresponsible, morally unmoored, Labour has become. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

As a recently naturalised immigrant who has lived in the UK for 15 years now, these announcements from Labour are absolutely heartbreaking. Scapegoating refugees and immigrants is just the most awful abandonment of moral obligation to humanity and will not fix a single thing. Absolutely devastating.

This Keir Starmer government is getting scarier by the day, nudging us closer to a dark future reminiscent of our darkest past. @zackpolanski.bsky.social & Co appear to be our only hope for humane, fair and common sense politics.

L'Espagne, comme l'Allemagne, l'Italie, la France, le Chili ou l'Argentine, a déjà "essayé" l'extrême-droite, pour reprendre une expression chère aux fachos fachés. Ci-dessous, la carte de toutes les fosses communes recensées des victimes du franquisme. L'extrême-droite, c'est ça.

Anyone who is coming to this better bring stickers to exchange with me, I just had to update to a new laptop and she's naked!!

“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

Come and say hello if you’re at Crash Live next weekend. You can even ask me some questions on Sunday morning if you like. Whether I can still remember anything from working on the ZX Spectrum nearly 40 years ago is another matter.

At DevGAMM in Fuchal in Madeira. A truly awful location for a game conference.

Hi, CEO of I Made It Games LLC, here.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

idk why this concept is difficult to grasp for a lot of people and doesn't take priority over wether or not liking wizards makes you a good person. Dont give her money! The money funds evil! its truly that simple

What I did on me hollybobs.

Emotions are high today. Some of my greatest gaming memories came from Xbox. I’ve loved covering the platform over 20+ years. But I can’t help but feel MS has manipulated their fanbase and quietly ditched their obligations as a platform holder. Xbox fans deserved better, but the graph will go up

Cheers, boss.

Loudly, please. Those at the back are a little slow on the uptake.

Next summer @rpgsite.net is twenty, and as we've been planning for various celebratory bits it's been v gratifying going thru the archive. It also makes me feel ancient. It was my 3rd website, so it turning 20 means I'll soon have been at this, hobbyist or pro, for 26 years. Urgg. From age 11!

🎥 À propos de Trump, et des moyens d’utiliser le langage pour faire accepter dans les esprits de la population l’installation d’un régime fasciste ou nazi, je recommande vivement l’émission que j’ai regardée hier sur Mediapart:

How would your life change if you made $8,241 more per year? Think about the difference it could make for working people living in poverty. Worker cooperatives distribute thousands in patronage (profit-sharing) to their workers, which is in addition to their wages. It makes a difference.

"One of the most compelling messages from her last interviews is that while we’re the most “intellectual animals” to ever walk the planet, “we’re not intelligent,” said Goodall, who’s an expert in animal behavior. “Because intelligent creatures don’t destroy their only home.”" RIP Jane Goodall

There seems to be some *confusion* among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them “But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes” “But, but he was in UKIP” “But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy” So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵 1/14
