After traveling between continents, moving house, starting a new job and launching a website in the space of one week, my body has finally conked out lol

Massive thanks to @jumpovertheage.com for this cracking piece on Skies of Arcadia. A brilliant way to kick things off for Archetypes, I think, and particularly topical given it was the game's 25th anniversary recently!

Very excited to say this is what I've been working on with @eteogreg.bsky.social over the past year! We've got some fantastic articles lined up for you, and I can't wait to share them.

Hmm I really think you guys should watch this tomorrow

I've had acrylic nails done for the first time (for a friend's wedding) and while they are absolutely beautiful, I am unable to do anything

Love it when I'm able to fall asleep on the bus, makes a 2-hour journey feel like 5 minutes. A real-life time skip

The end of that Scotland game was absolute class, chefs kiss

Is there a Bluesky list of all the new independent games media websites that have launched over the last couple of years? (I'd quite like a way to keep up with their output so it doesn't get lost in the feed)

I can't remember the last time I had an earworm get me this bad, it's been in my head for a WEEK now youtu.be/xqRNYtiAAP8?...

Not be dramatic but every time I get on a British train I’m ready to get my citizenship changed

Uh oh. I’ve been asked to produce two smart-casual outfits at the last minute. I’m doomed

After body boarding all summer I've been trying to explain to my family how even a 5ft wave can feel like a truck hitting you

Proof that Bluesky has indeed inherited the spirit of Twitter

alright. art friends. which one of you was it

Stumbled across a couple of Fantano music crit videos and I'm baffled he gets the views he does. Barely any illuminating music analysis, and a weird focus on women having to act as pure/perfect mothers, or not being allowed to take career breaks to have kids. Is this the best we have?

Interviewed an audio director recently who told me how an *iconic* character catchphrase came from the voice actor improvising in the booth. Using AI voices robs you of the chance for spontaneous, funny, ad-libbed performances that could help define your game.

Big fan of reviewers calling out the use of Gen AI in games, I'd hate to see low-effort slop become normalised and accepted as 'just part of development'

If you thought Frankenstein's Tower in the Guillermo del Toro movie looked cool, check out the real-world inspiration behind it...

Ugh you could feel it slowly slipping away. Gutting

The suffering continues

An Air Canada flight right now

I’m in a pub in a small Canadian ski town and the atmosphere is INTENSE oh my days

Somehow, I too have been sucked into the baseball frenzy

✨ Let's make a thread of songs we're listening to this week ✨ I'm trying to broaden my listening habits, so please help me out by dropping a link below to a song you're enjoying at the moment

Why am I not jamming with Hades 2 at all... what's going on here

Terrible things are popping up in my YouTube suggestions nowadays

Me: I don't care much for Taylor Swift, that's fine I'll just ignore the album release The next day: >Waking up to someone playing all of TLOAS outside my window >Every social media feed covered in Swift news >YouTube trying to make me watch each video release >Every marketing brand hopping on it

Taylor Swift you better stay away from Charli XCX now

Being ill while living alone is the worst. What do you mean I have to do the groceries while feeling like I’ve been flash-banged

Some day, I'm going to invest in a VR headset and use it to walk around Elden Ring, just to look at stuff

Nothing worse than listening to a banger Grimes song then remembering it’s probably about Elon Musk 😩

Breaking: Jimmy Kimmel to return Tuesday.

Real talk though they should move GDC to Vancouver or Toronto

The way this video is so cryptic is winding me up, it ain't that deep just tell us what the changes are

Went to check in on the price of rentals in the UK and got spooked when a random town in Wales was as expensive as my Brighton room a few years ago

Aw man, here we go again

One of my latest hobbies is burning CDs, so I absolutely had to make one for my sister. It’s full of songs we listened to when growing up and on family holidays. (I also did a little secret voiceover message in one of the tracks and made it sound like a phone call, teehee)

My book, Super Nintendo: How One Japanese Company Helped the World Have Fun, is out next February! It is a lively cultural history of the world's most beloved video game company, drawing from 20 years' worth of reporting and interviews. Pre-order here: linktr.ee/super_nintendo

I’m eternally grateful that I grew up in tandem with the development of the internet and smartphones, rather than being dumped straight into all of it

Look, I know there’s a lot going on right now. But there’s a new Fire Emblem and it’s probably set in the Three Houses universe 👀

There's a skiing/rhythm indie game that's just come out? Excuse me??

I can tell Bluesky is becoming like Twitter from the random people sailing in to nitpick every aspect of a post lol, I’d soooo missed the feeling of having to predict every possible way people could misrepresent what I’m saying

It absolutely sucks but I do understand why everyone is using ChatGPT now when this is the standard page viewing experience on the internet

Rumour has it she's thinking about the Stormveil Castle skybox again

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Just had a realisation that Fallout 76 released nearly 7 years ago
