Okay then Marina, let's see what's what.

First run complete 🔱 #Hades2

Perhaps the earliest I've ever seen Crispmas begin. Not sure I'm ready tbh.

Act 1 of Silksong complete. I think this may be the end of my playthrough though - just too hard 😩😅 Love the little weird guys though. Good game.

Going back to my childhood home now that I can double jump onto the roof

Finished Death Stranding 2. 👍

It's been a year since we brought the A MAZE festival to Sheffield 🦩 A bonkers event, definitely made ripples, and led EDGE magazine to declare 'Go North'. Here's a timelapse that was supposed to cover the whole set up until the battery died 😩

This is what we talk about when we talk about game preservation.

Facebook Messenger moving 'Select All' to make room for 'Write With AI' is real hell hole shit.

Big day today!

I would have bought this ANYWAY

To anyone being hit by layoffs today, It's not you. It's them. It isn't your fault. It's theirs. You didn't do anything wrong. They did. They fucked up. Not you.

Everything I'm reading re: Microsoft this evening makes me ill. But this? This makes me fucking furious. It's evil. It's dehumanising. And it's shockingly common practice across the industry.

Oh dear. I guess the point, if there is one, is to propose/impose something which is utterly meaningless but can be presented as "immersive" (my apologies for using that word) as football becomes ever more remote from the fans.

New-Kojima-Game release day 🎉

Just had to back the Time Crisis lightguns, didn't I.

Lying on my bed on a Sunday night thinking about how good the Wanted: Dead marketing campaign was. youtu.be/kmR9TIuT7Vc?...

Excited for this evening's Made in South Yorkshire @baftagames.bsky.social masterclass at the @nvmuk.bsky.social 🎉🎉🎉 @coalsupper.bsky.social, Steel City Interactive, @pitstop-audio.bsky.social, @sumodigital.bsky.social and even the Mayor!

I love this as a marketing beat. Big Jay-from-the-Inbetweeners energy. www.ign.com/articles/hid...

Extended editions, naturally.

Look - the Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Pack is terribly priced, I know, I know. But honestly it's worth it just for this tech demo where you play the entirety of SMB 1-1, pixel perfect, on a single 4K screen.

Delighted to announce that this week I've joined the awesome @ustwogames.co.uk as Marketing Exec. Being able to work on the incredible Monument Valley 3 is a dream come true. Lovely people, lovely studio, lovely game. Lovely!

On BBC Radio 1 at 5:45pm this evening, talking about this bonkers busy week in the industry. In the meantime I'm trying to three star all these Knockout Tours 🍄

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 ✅ 100% Complete A very, very special game. One of the best. Perhaps helped by the fact that I played it as a 33 year old 😅

The VGIM Business Breakfast, sponsored by @gamespress.com, returns to Brighton on Wednesday 9th July. Join us for a free breakfast, chats with the VGIM community and a timely panel about the state of video games media (!) by getting your free ticket below 👇 www.tickettailor.com/events/halfs...

It's Sunday nights like these where I'm forever blessed that I don't have to do homework anymore.

Talking Nintendo Switch 2 on BBC Sheffield this morning 🎮🎙️

A dedicated Share button, USB camera (sold seperately), second-screen game modes, and then Bloodborne??? Is the Switch 2 essentially just a PS4-2?

Seems the new Death Stranding trailer has brought the 'Kojima is too weird and needs an editor to cut his wackier ideas' crowd. No, fuck that. He's basically the one guy in the ENTIRE INDUSTRY that gets to be weird at high budgets. We need more Kojimas. Dozens! Not hammering down the one we have.

And now on BBC2, a re-run of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective, performed in Sheffield by The Company. Tickets are still available for our theatre production of Dirk Gently. At the Drama Studio, tonight, tomorrow and Saturday 🔍 🔗: www.ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on/she... @helpsheffield.bsky.social

Newsletter: There is no AI Revolution. Consumer adoption of generative AI outside of ChatGPT is barely 100 million people, every single company in generative AI is deeply unprofitable, Microsoft is pulling capex, and OpenAI spent $9bn in 2024 to lose $5bn. www.wheresyoured.at/wheres-the-m...

Parasite Eve was an absolute banger. Vibes are unparalleled. Never played the sequel, so I'm checking that out this morning.

This is your 2-week countdown (or slightly longer you're Reg, I suppose.) From March 5th, I'll be starring in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams, adapted for stage by the awesome @arvd.bsky.social and @gossjam.bsky.social. Tickets available at the link belowww 👇 #sheffevents

Top morning drinking coffee and starting a new run through of Parasite Eve.
