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

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.

The brain drain of this soft layoff combined with ubis general shit showery means I'll be damned surprised if they make it to 2030

Ok, yeah, Fable has got me - it looks both massive and dense, and a little bit different to anything else out there

Too many people these days collate a game’s quality with its commercial performance. All I see more talk about Steam concurrents, sales, etc Concord was a failure as a product, not as a game. But more and more people these days are viewing games as nothing but products. It’s incredibly soulless

I'm so surprised Nintendo actually addressed this, but this is really good to see

He plays exactly *zero* games!

I am very colourblind and have never once used these colourblind filters. They simply do not work or help me.

Nintendo Year in Report looking good as well!

It really is this easy

That LEGO Pokemon pricing is fucking extortionate. LEGO has been pretty bad value for a while now but £580 for that Charizard / Blastoise / Venosaur set?? £180 for a really basic and not very good looking Pikachu. I've no clue what's happened behind the scenes but it's a bad look for LEGO

Comedy is all about timing. In this case, 3 decades.

If you want to know how badly the madness has taken hold, I spent a lot of my lunch break emailing arcades near me to find out if they have the 2018 House of the Dead Scarlet Dawn arcade cabinet

Reminder as the new year begins that I head up GameSpot’s opinions section and would love to read your pitches! I’m always on the hunt for timely and thoughtful criticism and analysis on games and gaming/internet culture, so feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] if interested ☺️✨

Going thru the archives cont’d — Funky’s Fly ‘n’ Buy [Donkey Kong Country Returns] made in 2024 bristol paper, cardstock, sketchbook paper, & clear resin

ME: yeah could i get the impossible burger with cheese. THE VIZIER WHO'S BEEN ADVISING ME: ahh, an excellent choice sire. an imitation of the genuine article. there are some "friends" of yours to whom it bears a passing similarity ME: you want anything VIZIER: [chuckles] what i want is of no import

For the love of god, please give me DQ 4-6 trilogy on Switch

I keep track of my games like this every year but never with my thoughts, so here is my 2026 media thread

My games of 2025! A proper coincidence that I was on the Donkey Kong train before Bananza was announced

You’ve got to make the distinction right? The game I loved most this year is probably also Donkey Kong Bananza, closely followed by South of Midnight, but neither is the best game of the year. Maybe this is a weird games media thing?

“What you doing with your time off before Jan” Well…

Started playing Dementium recently! One of those DS curios that I remember reading about in ONM, I do really quite miss the era of having a hugely underpowered handheld that devs could make smaller, lower budget games for

Watching THE GREEN KNIGHT again

If Father Castle decides you've been naughty, you get a copy of Astro Bot on PS5. If he decides you've been nice, you get Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour.

Merry Christmas all! 🎄

Fulfilled a childhood dream and completed House of the Dead 3! Loved this in the arcade as a kid, and finally taking down that final boss felt incredible
