Book rec request: really good UK horror from the last five years or so. Bonus points if it's funny or satirical or both. #Booksky

Hey, look. It's a decent scan of this legendary image!

The best Zelda

It's true

Incredibly excited for this!

Hell yeah

IGN is hiring! We're looking for a US-based news editor working West Coast hours. They will report into me (hello, I'm the director of news at IGN!), and get to do all sorts of cool stuff about video games and entertainment. Lots more at the link! www.ziffdavis.com/careers/jobs...

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Really love that game where you play as an engineer in space with a friendly robot on your back, alternating between platforming and shooting, with hacking minigames

It's been a busy day... Lana Del Rey's official title song for 007 First Light, co-written with composer David Arnold, is now LIVE The game's full title sequence will debut tomorrow evening during the BAFTA Games Awards

The lovely folks at @rkgvideo.bsky.social are looking for a full-time video producer! If I didn't have CultureDex I would be ALL OVER this Can attest to the boys all being utterly lovely people, and the channel means a lot to so many <3 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Honestly if you're not playing through all the Star Fox games right now in some sort of manic obsessive episode, what are you doing? (64, Adventures, Assault, and Command all down, onto Zero next)

Videogames have always been an expensive hobby, but it's no exaggeration to say that we're on the verge of modern games and the hardware they run on being attainable only by the middle classes in the majority of countries.

It's absurd that the video game landscape has reached a point where you are better off buying a console at launch because everything is bound to get even more expensive. The industry is in such a busted place.

Not been so grabbed by a trailer in ages, Alien Deathstorm looks wicked

Last hours to grab Vampire Therapist on sale!

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

Jfc

Doing this, but with Yu-Gi-Oh! cards.

Kinda in love with these tech logos redesigned with a 1980s look by Kostya Petrenko (@kxdgraphics on Instagram). He's got a bunch more, too: www.instagram.com/kxdgraphics/

I've finally stepped out of my no-work funk and have created (big surprise!) a newsletter. It's also a website. Please read Low Poly Mess, which is home to a weekly Tom Orry Minute newsletter as a minimum. It's basic right now, but need to get something out there lowpolymess.com

This but "I want to go downstairs and look at good screen"

This is cool! The original Disc Creatures is one of the better Pokemon-likes (sadly hasn't made its way to consoles yet) would love to see both on Switch some day

Just got the worst email subject line ever

The problem with western companies in every field, is that they’re being led by smash and grab CEOs. There’s no investment in the future anymore, or concern about cultivating long time customers. It’s all about immediate results, and they will fire anyone and everyone if it means a stronger quarter.

Resident Evil Requiem fucking rules

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

Always thought of myself as a water starter boy but it’s been grass and fire since Gen 4! Back to water for Gecqua though

Pokopia being very good is really going to test my whole "no buying Game-Key Cards" thing

Pombon's final evolution

Genuinely feel sick to my stomach at this. If Eurogamer can't survive this sort of corporate cut-obsessed landscape, who can, quite frankly? Thoughts to all those affected

absolutely killer next fest so far for the idea that games can look like whatever the hell you want (Airframe Ultra, Cicadamata, Luna Abyss, The Last Salvage Squad)

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

Happy birthday to this young man, and really to us all

On Bluepoint newsletter.hitpoints.co/361-pointless/

I so desperately want to play The Witcher 3 without bouncing off of it after 2 hours (this has happened several times)

Opinion: Sony's Disgraceful Bluepoint Closure Should Concern Every PS Studios Fan.

Hell yeah there is.

brb just digging out my onm forum signature featuring the six characters I want added in the next Smash Bros (one of them is Paper Mario)

"Detractors will argue that Suda’s games are juvenile, unrestrained blasts of distortion from the music-addled mind of their creator. Fans will argue that, yes, that’s the whole point" A really lovely write up for Romeo is a Dead Man from Josh here www.xboxachievements.com/game/romeo-i...

Honestly losing my mind at how GOOD Orbitals looks and sounds - no idea how they've so successfully captured the look and feel of '80s anime, there's so much OG Dragon Ball energy in this youtu.be/a-bEqd-W8eE?...

I’m on the lookout for gaming journalists who have a strong passion for the metroidvania genre. Bonus points if the site you write for has a strong US focused audience. If this is you, let me know, and I’ll be in touch. 😌 (This is just for editorial journalists, influencers I’m all set for)

Now you too can play a slowed down version of a game from 20 years ago with no actual level design or enemies and all it costs is a complete collapse of the world economy, biosphere, education system, and multiple entire creative industries.

Watching @oxventure.bsky.social at Hackney Empire was a surreal, chaotic, and very funny time

One of my messenger apps keeps "offering" to "summarize" conversations from my friends and loved ones, and WHY THE FUCK WOULD I WANT THAT?

A new website about PC games, from me, @brendyc.bsky.social and @jonhicks.com. Reader-supported, which means no ads, no guff, and lots of games blogging about delightful things to play. If you liked our work on RPS, we think you'll like @jank.cool.
