Re. RPS freelance, I now have a budget for irregular (maybe 6-12 pieces a year) 2000-3000 wordish, more granular and specific reporting and investigative criticism that broaches a new topic or addresses a gap in knowledge regarding something familiar.

I'm doing a 10 mile charity walk this month with the missus. Help us tell diabetes to fuck off! fundraise.diabetes.org.uk/fundraisers/...

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]

A massive fire broke out at Westfield Stratford, slightly improving it

My Silksong review is up. It's a bit like that bit in Anchorman where Vince Vaughn threatens Will Ferrell's life then immediately kisses him on the face

I'm looking to commission a freelancer with knowledge of the Russian games industry and preferably some ability to read/speak Russian. If that's you, my email is in my bio: www.rockpapershotgun.com/authors/edwi...

I've only known Sherma for 35 minutes, but if anything happens to her I'll kill everyone in Pharloom and then myself

Great work by Nic and Edwin here.

The queue for Denshattack needs studying as some kind of anthropological anomaly. Never moves yet never grows. A perfectly preserved line of nerds, held in stasis

Woken up on Gamescom morning with a slight twinge in my writing wrist. Nicht gut

Potted so many fuckin plants today, heh heh heh heh heh

Part of why RPS hardware coverage keeps the techy stuff relatively simple is because trying to compete with DF on depth would be hopeless. Good luck lads

Wheel World (2025)

I want to issue a corrective statement as my post about mouthwashings delisting turned out to be false. I'm sorry for making an incorrect assumption

Read it and weep. I know I am www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-sunday-p...

Not usually a ceramics guy but had to buy this, it's my two favourite things

Biffy gig no.9 (I think) in the books, this one conveniently located next to its own rainforest

Say the line, Linkin Park

This wouldn't be important to anyone else at the best of times, but I got over my fear of swallowing pills this week, and I dunno it's nice to have a little bit of character development

Love my bestie x

I've had Dota games that lasted longer than that 'ceasefire' tbh

Side note to this: I can't read the loading screen lore snippets because my SSD is too fast :(

Can't kill what's already dead mate

Impressive. Very nice. Let's see Paul Allen's soulslike

Showtime status: It's

Cross-Japan adventure begins. Am surely impressing the wife by pointing out all the places I recognise from Ghostwire

Made dinner with some rosemary from the already-grown plant we bought at B&Q

Writing about Steam Deck accessories and thinking about this vid, still one of my favourite RPS things. Also I miss vexing @sevenoutoften.co.uk :(

Solidarity to our Canadian friends who had to fold up this metre-long Naked Gun prop of a ballot paper

Liking the new Beach Bunny record despite a couple of duds near the end. Shimmery end-of-summer pop that still has bite open.spotify.com/album/7cKYTJ...

Good first time in Ireland. Gonna be forever pitching it against Wales in a mental cagefight over who has the nicer lakes 'n' mountains combo

This is the third time I've seen Gaia and every e time it's been an accident. I keep bumping into art

This is affecting me as well. I wouldn't personally write to an agony aunt about it, but then she can't be any more useless than the housing association www.theguardian.com/money/2025/a...

Absolute monkey paw shit, honestly www.reddit.com/r/ApexUncove...

Me at work

Hallo

I wish more people posted pirated football clips on BSky because the world must see Jude Bellingham bisect the entire Albanian team with a single pass...

My Atomfall review is up! Bit of a grower but I ended up really liking this - much heavier on mystery-solving than the marketing lets on, and more about following leads than waypoint markers. Game Passable at the very least www.rockpapershotgun.com/atomfall-rev...

Am having my mind blown by these Feyd-Rautha-ass strawberries

So my car is brilliant in every way, except it's accusingly beeped at me four times today to complain that the coolant is cold

Damn and blast, we're supposed to be too busy covering CoD, Monster Hunter, Civ 7 and Pokemon, but we've accidentally spent this week recommending cool indie demos from Steam Next Fest. Hope management doesn't find out www.rockpapershotgun.com/event-brands...

Another Next Fest with no Resistor demo, despair unending

The real Deep Rock Galactic mugs are the people who pay €55 for a plastic cup

RPS is hiring! Be our Reviews Lord (not actual title) jobs.jobvite.com/ign/job/oQ9k...

Yeah but where's the hardware news tho (This is very funny, Alice and Nate are great people who gave a brilliant speech at my wedding about gorillas)

Football, bloody hell

The amount of brown-nosing in this, honestly. Would be embarrassing even if it weren't *the richest company in the world*

Best birthday presents so far: - Seminal (so I hear) design book The Inmates Are Running the Asylum - The meltiest of Basque cheesecakes - Residents' swimming pool aaaaaall to myself
