Football eh. Bloody hell

I suspect that Valve are not at all concerned about this, because they could certainly be in the big department stores if they wanted to be. They have a direct to consumer business. Why get anyone else involved?

One of the best in the business is back on the market and frankly I’d move heaven and earth to give this man a job.

Europa Universalis 5 is precisely the type of game that makes me wish we still had beautifully produced physical game manuals.

thinking about point & clickbait and how much I miss it right now

Getting positive contract extension news this close to Christmas is nice.

Had a breakthrough with EU5 yesterday. I’m still a long way from being able to say “I get it” but it get it more than I ever have before.

so can we turn off retweets yet or…

Stardew Valley concert in Sydney this weekend!

league two, baby!

The idea of a FIFA peace prize is excruciatingly funny

What’s the German word for when you finish a meeting that takes so much juice your brain doesn’t work once it’s finished?

The entire community reaction to FM26’s admittedly not great release feels incredibly overblown.

@mike.reuben.games delighted for you today, Mike. Cannot wait to play it. Huge congratulations!

Ooooooohhhhhhh shiiiiiiittttttttttt

Very much dislike Spurs playing as well as they did. We need to thrash them this weekend.

Toilet Time Machine is out today! Can't believe this little thing @rubyinnes.bsky.social and I cooked up is in the world in a huge way. DREAM BELIEVE ACHIEVE BUY MY BOOK. www.penguin.com.au/books/toilet...

lol

NASCAR shooting themselves in the foot again with this utterly shit championship system. Garbage.

@flameroasttoast.com happy birthday legend

How the heck have I already played 40 hours of the FM26 beta

This is what happens when you’ve never heard “no” in your life

Revelling in the chaos of club football at the moment.

At a fundamental level, we have to accept much of silicon valley has gone insane.

Sharing that dickhead’s appearance at that convention is exactly what they want from this.

Is that you, Gary Neville?

Yeah this is extremely bad

Everyone hates FM26 and I’m just over here enjoying myself because oh well

what’s this then www.deadstaticdrive.com/releases remember remember the 5th of november 👀

Oli Bearman you little legend. Great drive.

goodbye world!

It’s easier for PR and publishers to push back on inexperienced writers and influencers who will get involved for the love of the game than anyone with more than a minute’s experience. Hate it, because good games writing actively contributes to better games getting made.

Lennart Karl is the name of Lenny and Karl’s child from the Simpsons.

Short of grifting NFT’s, this is the most John Terry thing imaginable

"It's an absolute disgrace that Ange Postecoglou was sacked after 8 games. Evangelos Marinakis is a markass bitch."

Manchester United record just their second Premier League win against Liverpool in 15 matches. Harry Maguire is the hero. Ruben Amorim's side now sit just two points behind Arne Slot's team in the table, who suffered their first defeat at home in the league since Nottingham Forest last year.

GGMU!!!

Ahhh man what the actual fuck. This sucks. R.I.P. Sam Rivers loudwire.com/limp-bizkit-...

okay who broke youtube

Clive Barker’s Jericho. LMAO.

will prob write about this next week but the entire premise of it is an act of narrative cowardice. there are the briefest glimpses there of someone on the team wanting to tackle actual global issues, but it all gets buried under the least offensive, most nonsensical adversary imaginable

Are games art? Battlefield 6 says no!

I am sincerely appreciative that NASCAR 25 doesn’t go super hard on Americana and instead focuses almost solely on the racing, which it nails.

Far be it from me to tell anyone how to review video games, but if you’re reviewing a driving game I’m simply begging you not to use the words “sim-like” or “arcade” as descriptors for how something feels. They are meaningless buzzwords that have been ground to dust.

Today’s Bathurst 1000 was probably one of the best races I’ve ever watched. Some very good steering on display.

NASCAR 25 early recommendation: turn off the menu music immediately.
