Really proud to have helped announcing Project TAL today! Korean-inspired mythology, huge monsters, punchy combat, all in a traditional single player action-RPG Can’t think of many better looking announcement trailers than this youtu.be/MaHm2UjbxzY?...

She’s all legs

I talked about Silksong At length

Been slowly making my way through Cronos: The New Dawn this past week and it’s really scratching a specific survival horror itch. It looks like it should be Dead Space adjacent but in terms of pacing it’s closer to SH2 remake (big shock, I know)

Silent Hill f is the most realistic horror I've ever played, because chocolate temporarily keeps you sane.

Every time I watch ALIEN I am transfixed thinking to myself "there's no way they've left themselves enough room to get the third horizontal line in that E without it looking like a squashed-in mess!" but no, every single time there it is, and it's beautiful. Most tense part of the movie tbh.

In France and this duck cassoulet nearly killed me, might be one of the best things I’ve eaten

We're shortstaffed on RPS and need some rad PC-minded freelancers for urgent review work. Specifically: - Borderlands 4 (yes I know it's out already) - Dying Light: The Beast - Silent Hill f Standard rate is £200 GBP per review, make yourselves known at [email protected]

This is the exact right level of games media / PR drama to keep me ticking over while I’m on holiday

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

We're back baby! Prime time

The Waluigi solo game we deserve

No one seems to realize that a large part of the reason the Steam Deck did pretty well is it had a very cheap version

Hello! I want to speak with game journalists who left the world of ads and corporate ownership behind to build worker-owned, independent publications. Is that you? Do you want to chat about the trials and triumphs of independent media and what it means for reporters and devs? Let's talk!

📢 Job Opportunity 📢 We're looking for an enthusiastic, hard-working and experienced publicist or senior publicist to join our team! We're looking for a candidate with 1-3+ years of experience in games journalism or influencer management who can work in the UK. Info below.

Technically the return of an official Nintendo magazine?? How strange

Josh’s Geek Critique videos have really helped me better understand my own gaming preferences and habits better and this is a super interesting example of this

What's that? *Another* new role open at Secret Mode?! We're on the hunt for a Senior Product Marketing Manager to lead the strategic marketing direction for our games, acting as the central force behind their success and impact. Apply at the link 👇 zurl.co/MH0sO #GameJobs

♪ Oh my God, I was wrong ♪ ♪ Hell Is Us, all along ♪

Trained journalist writing important work question: does anyone outside the UK know what a party ring is?

Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain. Not this time. Not anymore.

Sword of the Sea fucking rules

@poonikinz.bsky.social hello mate, lovely to see you briefly today! Sorry it was a passing visit, I did loop back round later but couldn’t spot you

They only fucking have

I’m sorry have they got Matt Berry as Bane??

LOOKING FOR WORK 📢⚡ Community Manager (5+ Years experience). Previously at Rebellion, SumoDigitalLtd, and nDreams. Available for immediate start. Open to FTC, Part-time, and Full-time positions. Available for remote, flexi-remote, or hybrid roles.

This, and also having a completely separate team create a entirely different game under the same name, are two things I miss most from the world of pre-Switch handhelds (and the Wii)

Nobody stopped me

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Somebody stop me

Holy shit I wonder if they'll finally start opening on Sundays

Yeah it’s a surprisingly good time

This will take a big game off the market and put a lot of people out of work, but the resources it frees up will deliver 60,000 useless genAI search results on Bing, so it's impossible to say if its mad or not

That’s Nikoderiko finished up! Which I think means I’ve played all of the indie DKC-likes? If anyone knows of any more, point me in their direction! Got the Donkey Kong Country itch since finishing Bananza

Genuinely can not believe that I missed the news that we’re finally getting Darksiders 4

Guy who names things at Square Enix

Perfect time to have started playing DKC3 for the first time then!

This is art

Finished Bananza last night, and this game is a love letter to Rare’s Donkey Kong games. I’m genuinely so chuffed with that. Spent years hoping for a third DKC game from Retro but I think Bananza has filled that hole. Adored it

Told our existing freelancers on Monday but as a heads up for anyone interested in pitching me, our review rate has increased from $240 to $250 www.uploadvr.com/how-to-pitch...

Seems that people don't like Mega Dragonite despite it clearly being a perfect mega evolution design
