I felt very represented by the main bloke from A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms when he walked into a tavern and ordered two dinners.

I can't wait to go to bed in 4 hours.

I'm looking for gaming content creators who would be happy to answer a few questions from one of my colleagues about the gear they use for a story. I'll need written responses only, and I can get a link to your preferred profile / channel on a global top 10 tech site. Reposts appreciated!

A pleasure to play a small role in bringing this great piece on the creation of Nick Valentine from Fallout 4 to life! That spirited up-and-comer Jeremy Peel: he's really got a future in this business.

Three hours of Marathon. Does it have the juice? Confirmed. Does it have the sauce? Quite possibly. Does it have the gravy? To be determined.

Finally reading the Absolute DC comics, starting with Batman. Incredibly entertaining – and a smart play for manga readers. In the first issue he slices a lad's hand off. Great stuff.

I've been served *so* many ads for Samson: A Tyndalston Story. The cookies they must have on my ass, to highlight a game capturing the 7/10 energy of the Xbox 360 era open world genre.

Fml this is the biggest downgrade in history 😪

smh what are they teaching kids these days? 😕 #re9

I Saw the TV Glow (2024) 💜

I am at a loose end with games. I think I will finally play...Returnal.

There's a nice lad over repairing my thermostat, but the longer he's here, the more I can tell it's dawning on him what a fucking weirdo I am.

These. Pre-games media.

Everyone has spent too much time in a terminally online hell world and lost their minds.

Pokémon LeafGreen/FireRed should let you take on the Viridian City gym straight away, so the rest of the game is about recovering from the PTSD of Giovanni annihilating your level 8 Bulbasaur.

Watched The Testament of Ann Lee. At the end of the film, a bit of text says she had 6000 followers at her peak. My podcast has about 7000 weekly listeners. Am I a minor religious figure?

Here's a project that a pal of mine has been working on!

I can wheel out being confused for the Sam Roberts Band and going on Canadian national radio because of that one more time, right?

Probably had a bit too much fun posting about Matthew playing the Hitler auction game over the past month or so (sounds like a bad hang to me).

*sickos.gif* 1 star or 4 stars. It cannot be anything else.

Managed 5 minutes of new Scrubs before reaching for my phone to make the standard, "has Zach Braff spent the past two decades in print media?" joke.

From myself and the whole team at @eurogamer.bsky.social, a very fond farewell and huge thank you to our friends and colleagues (thread).💙

Scaling beyond PS4 with extra performance mode options, Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition delivers the goods - and we're fascinated to see how the promised DLSS upgrade could improve things still further: www.digitalfoundry.net/reviews/fall...

It only occurred to me last night, as I started Pokémon LeafGreen, that in Japan your rival probably wasn't known as 'Gary'.

If you want to know how the British print news industry ends (which is, de facto, amazingly still what supports most newspaper websites) it's the distribution channels getting banjaxed. When you lose "TG Jones" etc even people who want a paper can't get one. That'll be the real start of the ending.

Just had a whole evening of ARC Raiders without another human opening fire on us. The prevailing theory: all the sickos have cleared out and gone off to Marathon.

There are a couple of Nordic gaming outlets that review on a scale out of 6, and every time I'm reminded of that, it unleashes a wave of mathematics-based psychic damage.

The response to this bunch of pods was so positive on our Discord this morning that it put a spring in my step.

Very cool to finally get to ask this question of Emil Pagliarulo, designer of Thief II’s best level and Oblivion’s Dark Brotherhood: How much immersive sim went into the making of Fallout 3? www.rockpapershotgun.com/meet-the-man...

Honestly the collective national level of disdain for Brits living in Dubai on all my social media platforms today really is bringing the UK together as one in a way that's hard to achieve in the modern era.

Felt very seen as a greedy bastard by the Romeo is a Dead Man difficulty setting screen that asked which chocolate I'd like:

Just tried the demo of Denshattack, and the nicest thing I can say about it is it feels like discovering a rad PS2 demo on an old OPM cover disc (and when you later look the game up on eBay, it goes for £80 now for some reason).

Finished Resi Requiem. You didn't ask, but here's how I rank the baller post-VII era of Resi so far (highest to lowest): - 2 Remake - 4 Remake - Requiem/Village tie - VII - 3 Remake (which I still kinda like)

Have an urge to get the Resident Evil 4 HD Project mod going after Requiem. Loved the remake, but it can never be replaced.

God I hate Trowbridge.

Intrigued enough by the improvements made around the edges – pre-ordered!

Right, time to do some free consulting on Marathon.

I am enjoying Reanimal a lot, mostly how inventive the presentation of its amazing world is – and how coherently that setting is drawn out. Also admire the fact that sometimes, the devs go 'fuck it, we are going to sacrifice readability a bit so we can tilt the camera and show you something rad.'

Told my brother I downloaded LeafGreen and he immediately sent me this which might as well be a Scientology pamphlet:

Me after I paid 6 quid for a cold sausage roll in London:

Unimpeachable Millennial energy to the 'four blokes going to a beer festival' group chat:

What's the best piece of music in Final Fantasy X and why is it this one? youtu.be/-WH3WBlv4xo?...

Well then. After 9 years my role of Editorial Director at Eurogamer/IGNE has been made redundant. If you’re reading this and feel I have a lot of valuable experience (I do), I’m keen to explore any opportunities (full time, consulting, other) in the games industry. I am great.

Charlie Stayt, "A lot of people think those leaflets are the nasty side of politics" Zack Polanski, "Genocide is quite nasty"

I will only refer to myself as 'old' past this point and no sooner:

truly some bottom-rung stuff to staff your site with AI when games freelancers will already turn in 2000 words for an egg sandwich

The games media is set for yet more layoffs, after IGN-owned Eurogamer and its network of sites launched another wave of editorial cuts this week, VGC understands. vgc.news/news/games-m...

Intrusive 'living in Bath' thoughts like "maybe I'll buy some fudge this lunchtime."
