Well that's my year on Steam!

Someone once told me I was cynical enough to work in marketing. Still don't know what to make of that.

There always has to be the next big thing in tech. And it almost never is. Remember when 3D television was supposed to be huge?

365 days in a years... 808 sessions in a year.... yeah I have trouble sticking with games these days. s.team/y25/vccgfd?l...

Could we NOT start talking about Divinity until they have an actual game.

Are we far enough into December for day-drinking to be acceptable?

It's always a relief when a viewer who hasn't been around in a while turns up again, stremers get worried about you all!

Is meme-speak making people dumber? Or is just making them *sound* dumber?

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

whoever is writing reality lately is really getting heavy-handed with it. no subtlety at all

busy updating the contact form's gender options to male/female/Welsh

Sometimes I worry that the tech giants know too much about me, and then Google sends me an update about Christmas bin collections for a council area 160 miles away from where I live, and for last year...

I just really like gifs of VHS screengrabs. Something about it scratches the nostalgia itch, but in a micro snack way. Little grainy hors d'eurves.

it's important you understand this before trying to invite me to your party

Q: How can you tell a Linux user? A: Talk about anything that doesn't immediately involve them and wait twenty seconds.

Chances are if you know a c-suit executive's name these days it's because you want them to die.

The only unbelievable thing about James Bond stories is that the government would try to stop rich megalomaniacs with plans for world domination, rather than give them tax breaks, subsidies or an office.

Time to add Linux to my mute list.

"Sadly, we thought him defeated once, but the menace has come to pass again" OH SHIT UWE BOLL IS A LICH!

"Well that's stupid. Someone would stop him." Who? Why? Buying sugar is legal. Hell, he's paying the stores more than you would pay for it. That's how capitalism works. "But *I* need sugar." Better get more money then, sport.

These illustrations are over 100 years old.

Soooo, we have an upcoming game based around the concept that JJ Abrams has just learnt what a "Respawn" is in multiplayer games.

Am I the only one getting really tired of seeing Manhattan as the setting for games?

Dammit not Neeson too!

"Gang of Dragon" sounds like an Asylum knock-off of Like A Dragon, like Transmorphers or Atlantic Rim.

Thank you game awards for first bring to my attention Control Resonance, Gang of Dragon, Warhammer 40K Total War, and whatever that JJ Abrams gamer was. Now I know what to avoid next year!

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers. NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

We play as fucking DYLAN in Control 2? Hell no, that guy was just terrible. Worst part of Control in fact!

I keep reading quotes of tarantino going on about people who suck when he's one of the ones who sucks the most. Guy literally made 3 good movies 30 years ago then disappeared up his own anus

Everyone needs to listen to Gustav Holst's "The Planets", not for hoity-toity nerd reasons, but because every epic sci-fi movie OST for the past century has been directly lifting shit from this one specific collection of pieces, and you deserve to hear your favourite motif in its native environment.

I didn’t even ASK… seriously … I didn’t even apply, NEVER HAVE! “approved”?! This is a sham, the “application” process was CLEARLY just a data-gathering marketing ploy. Typical gross TGA skeevyness The “awards” always have been a sham. It’s “the game adverts”.

*tiredly* Why has YouTube's algorithm decided I really want to be recommended 4 year old movie trailers?

Going live on GOG with the release stream for CROSAK, a play-dough caveman platformer! www.twitch.tv/gogcom

I shall watch the Game Awards the way God intended. By reading a summary the day after, fuck that shit.

This little d'Anver rooster really gives his all.

Sometimes, the very concept of big-business money makes my head hurt. So, Facebook's Metaverse fell through, wasting 77 billion. You could hire 10,000 of the smartest people in the games industry, paying them each $100k a year, for an entire decade, and only spend $10bn.

Protip: Games that use generative A.I. for its "artwork" is allowed to be pirated because the devs are ok with taking other people's work without compensating them.
