Enter Shikari at the Bataclan on the 10th anniversary of the attacks. Bucket list stuff. Gooseflesh for most of the set. These are the moments worth living for.

It's very funny to get accused of "rage baiting" to get clicks in 2025. Most people that get angry at headlines don't - and never have - clicked through to read a full story There are smarter, subtler, and more effective ways to encourage genuine engagement these days, grow up

Can't really explain it, but these 4 images are what ADHD feels like

Please, protect me from the fireworks human

Sat down for a lovely chat with @clert.bsky.social over @eurogamer.bsky.social To talk about my games and how I'd like to keep making and improving them sustainably. To step away from the launch, meme and hype driven madness that has taken root in games. www.eurogamer.net/as-viral-hit...

We celebrated our respective surgery-versaries last night

You no longer need a PS5 to play Astro Bot and other PS5 exclusives www.eurogamer.net/you-no-longe...

Probably should have thought about being chronically ill before moving to a house on the top of a very big, very steep hill.

Something is AFOOT in Fortnite

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

Forgive me if I'm repeating myself, but being queer and polyam is the coolest shit ever

Seeing a comet partner tonight, who I don't get to see often. Doing vegan bahn mi to celebrate (the dough will be baguettes)

Special interest ACTIVATE.

Animal Crossing New Horizons? Recession indicator

Delayed record order finally came through over the weekend, The Sound of Animals Fighting's new one sounds absolutely impeccable, and The World is a Beautiful Place's latest really suits a proper long play on the system Both pretty hard to get hold of in the UK, so pleased to finally have them

Big, juicy, intimate interview here courtesy of @apzonerunner.com that is packed with really cool stuff. Especially love how Kitase swans in to make demands and the team is like 'yes sir, right away, sir.'

At the end of Snake Eater when the President says 'you are above even the Boss, I hereby award you the title of Big Boss' and gives you a medal, it seemed comical at the time, but that would absolutely happen in America now.

Seeing Gustavo Santaolalla (www.theguardian.com/games/articl...) and Borislav Slavov (www.theguardian.com/games/articl...) at this show last year represent two of my favourite live music experiences EVER This new programme looks astonishing, really really great selection of games for next year

Everything about the age that we're living in is so tacky and gaudy, and relentlessly grim. I remember saying to someone very close, pre-Covid, "nothing is ever going to get better again, it'll only get worse" and here we are 7 years later and I'm still right

Everyone compliment my tart tatin, please

Boyf and I made shallot + rosemary tart tatin this evening, might be one of the tastiest things we've made all year

To escape from the rain, I ducked into a pub near me I've not been in before Since I sat down, they've played Pixies, Pantera, Skindred, Breed 77, Siouxie, Echo + Bunnymen, Metallica. It's like being in the car with my parents, this fucken rules

Last day off; made bread, got a haircut at the local enby barbershop (which is *so lovely*), took myself for pizza. It's been a killer week.

Back on the baguettes, lads

Mononoke at the cinema, an ancient healing balm so powerful they only let you do it once every few years

I'm really enjoying ZA. The graphics don't really matter, I think it's a really compelling remix of the Pokemon formula. Character customisation rules.

Having a pretty good week off so far

Start of a week off: exploring Bristol more, confronting my extreme, deep, and irrational fear of bridges, walking the dog, making my own BBQ ribs + sweet pot fries + smoked butter/paprika corn after seeing local smokehouse wants £35 for the pleasure

comrades separated by arbitary lines drawn in the sand... mr. gorbachev, *bring down this wall*

No kings except

Here's a very long, good old fashioned preview from me on FM26. I think FM fans are in for a shock with some of the new UI. And I've some reservations about how some of that new UI actually works, too, beyond the newness. BUT: that new tactics system. COR! www.eurogamer.net/brace-yourse...

Viral marketing for the latest @coheedandcambria.bsky.social record is getting a bit out of hand

Off sick for four days, only a COUPLE THOUSAND emails in my inbox

Think I've been banned from BeReal because I took one in the bath

PlayStation Presents, 2am GMT

Imagine having the setting, the cast, the social and economic backdrop, the budget, the audience, the prestige, the POTENTIAL Wes Anderson had with The Phoenician Scheme and... spaffing it all up the wall to say absolutely nothing and waste everybody's time and dribble out 100 minutes of beige

It's the weekend and we STILL have Covid. That should be illegal. Partner can't even look at screens because their eyes are too sensitive.

Day 4 of Covid: tried to play FFT but my head is so fried I couldn't even do a non-story encounter. Booted up something braindead (ended up being FF16 again) instead. Arms are completely useless, and I've nearly burned through all my inhalers because my chest is so bad. I think Fro may also be sick

I have Covid, and it's pretty bad. Can't swallow, can't really sleep. Going up/down stairs does me in for about 30 minutes. Worst thing is I have almost completely lost the use of my arms?? I think the ache comes from where I've had my Covid jabs in previous years.

Very funny that "watch em spit roast your best friend" is pretty much exactly what Digimon went on to capitalise on

Like the cleaning of a house, it never ends

Got some new ramen bowls, so vegan ramen date night w/ smoked tofu, pickles, miso and chili broth, and garlic +sesame broccoli

Good advice in the local

the best pop album of the last ten years is actually 'future nostalgia' by dua lipa
