I cannot WAIT to play Lumines Arise. The original games were just so fundamentally part of my should-be-studying-instead-I'm-gaming university experience.

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.

A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule

Dispatch has been on my radar and I'm so hyped that it's been getting good traction... gonna play

I got ID'd yesterday while waiting in a pub for my husband and pals and I exclaimed that I was in my mid thirties and she straight up didn't believe me 😅 the youth are so scared of ageing that they don't believe you can look kinda young beyond 28

I am about to unleash glamours so accursed by answering the question - what if we gave a Summoner chainmail and bikini bottoms

Halloween but all the kids round my bit are insufferable, so I'm going to sit in the dark at the back of my house and play (non scary) video games

It's launch day for Blood In The Bricks, and we a super nice review by @runalongwomble.bsky.social to celebrate!

Redrafting something for a submission and my god it's difficult 😨 fully sitting at my PC thinking about deleting the entire thing at the eleventh hour

People who aren’t writers think writer’s block is at least as big and real a problem as I thought quicksand would be, as a child.

Bonny autumn wander around Chatelherault today 🍂🧡

Been watching Dandadan and it's just so stunning. Some truly weird (positive) animation choices. Might be my fave watch this year 🤩🛸

Sexy kinds of bear 🐻❤️‍🔥 Ok it works 🙈

Yeah I've been following this with a lot of interest and these guys ARE the Sims content creation at this point, so this is HUGE

I've got a COLD and though it's generally low on the list of ailments there's just something about snotters and the general malaise of it all that hits doubly hard

Make a movie food: Reservoir Hotdogs (gross)

"Oh I'll just play a little Loop Hero while I'm deciding on something bigger to play, I won't get too into it because I've completed it before" - me, a fool

SCOOP: For the last two years, Microsoft has pushed Xbox to hit profit margins of 30%, an ambitious target that's far higher than the industry average. This chase for profit has led Xbox to raise prices, cut thousands of jobs, and rethink everything. Story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

"If a book told you something when you were 15, it will tell it to you again when you’re 50, though you may understand it so differently that it seems you’re reading a whole new book." Happy birthday to Ursula K. Le Guin, born 21st October 1929

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once. And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

I'm concerned that one thing game companies will use genAI for is populating background details like fake magazines, store shelf products, and book covers. This is what they're trying to take from us. This is what's at stake. (Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines, Dead Rising, and Plastic Battlegrounds VR)

I make games and post them on itch with @chrisdeebrown.bsky.social ⭐ maybe next year we'll do one that's not part of a game jam (i.e., attempt a marathon rather than a sprint) meghan0n.itch.io
