That's what somebody who did it would say!

Not me!

In a few hours in Gorton and Denton - you have the opportunity to transform our politics. A vote for Hannah Spencer & the Green Party will entirely change our national conversation. And Hannah will be brilliant for Manchester. Check her out 👇🏼 youtu.be/uCy0VdHTVvs?...

Happy 40th birthday.

New release from the Windsor Mint. Get yours now! 😜

I had to sketch that amazing photo from yesterday, to make sure I never forget it.

Dreadful news.

To be fair to AI, I would totally eat Capra Demon Cheese.

Going through old photos and this surfaced. A useful reminder that the games industry ‘good old days’ were a mixed bag, same as it ever was.

Music Monday: We have several scintillating soundtracks up on itch.io - get at 'em! Roguecraft: thalamus.link/rogue-ost Cecconoid: thalamus.link/cecco-ost Bezier: thalamus.link/bezier-ost Starseed: thalamus.link/starseed-ost

Feeling very perky this morning. Must have been that splash of Alpro Qat I put in my coffee.

Are the officials deliberately getting decisions outrageously wrong on purpose to make VAR look good? (In the Villa Newcastle game.)

Not sure if Man United owner Jim Ratcliffe will see this being as he literally migrated to Monaco to avoid paying tax in the UK, but we wanted to put this up outside the stadium anyway…. 📍 Old Trafford, Matt Busby Way

Enjoyed the first episode of Lord of the Flies on BBC. Can’t judge it as an adaptation as I’ve never read the book. I started it as a kid right after I finished Lord of the Rings as it was next to it on the shelf, but gave up in disappointment after 2 chapters when I realised it was about posh kids

Wow. This reminds me of late-era Mick McMahon.

If anyone wants to see the whole Elden Ring Journal (it only covers Limgrave, really), then here's a downloadable PDF of the booklet that I put together of the first 64 pages, scanned and cleaned up. A printed version of this was given out as a free gift for @lostincult.co.uk Lock On subscribers.

Aww, this is nice to see. My Elden Ring journal is on display now as part of a museum exhibition in Melbourne, Australia.

Posting this again to remind you you dont have to be an amazing artist to draw comics!

Just watched @stepickford.bsky.social 's interview at Crash last year, and reminded just how brutal, and frankly shit, the games business was during the 90's and 00's. Predatory publishers forcing devs to go bust so they don't need to pay their final milestones. I had the same with THQ.

Had a lovely night out in Manchester with some old gamedev work colleagues, including the legendary @chunwah.bsky.social who got me to sign old copies of Zub and 180, presumably so he can get a couple of quid more on eBay?

Say hello to Hannah Spencer—councillor, plumber, greyhound lover and your Green Party candidate for Gorton and Denton 💚

I’m enjoying the Fallout tv show, but it’s hard to get used to a different character being called ‘Coop’ in a show that also stars Kyle MacLachlan.

EARTH MUST DIE is OUT NOW. Starring Joel Fry, Martha Howe-Douglas, @alexhorne.bsky.social @misterabk.bsky.social @benstarr.bsky.social @5teviem.bsky.social Tamsin Greig, Don Warrington and LOADS of other people. It's cheap | good | funny, check it out. store.steampowered.com/app/3639780/...

Labour in the UK and the Democrats in the US are both carriers of the same sickness, unable to access the energy and vitality of progressive causes because they accept the authoritarian solutions laid out by their opponents. An electorally barren and morally bankrupt position, untenable in 2026.

Gary, the titular asshole of @southworth.bsky.social's Lake Gary. And Plok! Yeah, that Plok! From video games! He's a webcomic now, and I'm NOT crazy! I'm not! Tell 'em, @stepickford.bsky.social! #art #webComics

Do you like VIDEO GAMES? Do you like when there's CHARACTERS in them? If so, wow, have we got just the thing for you!

Only the traitors wearing black. Costume design here is a bit obvious

And, of course…

Announcement: STEAM DEMO OUT NOW! The early dungeons of Forbidden Solitaire are now open to those bold - or foolish - enough to explore them. How badly do you wish to live forever? 👁️🩸 👇👇👇 store.steampowered.com/app/3414580/... Please wishlist and share - thank you! #indiedev

Can a traitor murder another traitor? Asking for a traitor.

Traitors is wild tonight.

“I’m very adept at covert policing, which is why I pounced on Reece for saying something he didn’t actually say and picked one of the three remaining Traitors to confide in” #TheTraitors

I am delighted to announce the release of my latest project: Fully documented source code for The Sentinel, Geoff Crammond’s 1986 masterpiece. Here’s the repository; deep dives coming soon. See thread for details. 1/9 github.com/markmoxon/th... #retrocomputing #retrogaming #bbcmicro #c64 #8bit

Everyone at breakfast in The Traitors is talking dead loud, but as if nobody can hear them. It’s really weird.

There should also be a blue plaque up on the wall on Well Street.

Calling all 6502/NES programmers! We recently preserved and shared a source code snapshot of the lost Police Academy game! Which is great, except it's in a pretty bad state. I'm hoping there's enough to "revert" back to its trade show demo. Any interest in helping? www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pgm4m...

Hey there, I need to collect a backlog of 3d animators, texture artists, and modellers for something in the future. Post up your folios!

Okay this is some strong as hell maths. Can't tell you how much buying the Size Five games helps me out. If you follow me but don't own these yet, please grab them now. It's the *actual best Christmas present* to help keep my weird little company afloat. Thank you.

Comic pals 👋 I’m on the look out to chat with artists who do sequential work in an anime style for a potential project in 2026. Please hit me up or share if you have any recommendations.

There is nothing more festive than being hunted by robots, I say! And it is with that sentiment in mind that I bring you Sir, You Are Being Hunted, beloved and seminal stealth and survival game from Big Robot, a gift of 40% off. Cheers!

The author of this post must be someone I know. I will be judging you all for the whole of the next year. While also admiring you.
