Why is nobody talking about 007: First Light’s incredibly good anti-AI story? The man quips and tells you not to trust billionaires!

My game writing workshop is coming back for another cohort starting in August with prep-work in advance -- three months with a group of both aspiring/pro writers, live playtests, weekly video calls, & a focus on craft and challenging ourselves. More info at -> www.gregbuchanangames.com/courses

Facebook now opening on Reels and autoplaying videos with sound is the nail in the coffin for me I think.

John Blanche has passed away. His work and ideas have had such a huge impact on my life 💔

September only has 30 days, how am I meant to play all these games?!

Me: “Why does the epilepsy warning for 007 First Light display for so long?” Me in the club level: “ohhhhh”

Christ what a sorry state gaming hardware is in these days. At this rate the Steam Machine is gonna cost you an arm, a leg, and your eternal soul.

Why the hell does the sun being hot bring out every fucker with an electric saw? There’s three different ones going off nearby. I just wanna work but all I can hear is bzzzzzzpt bzzzzzzpt bzzzzwooo 😩

007 First Light is pretty damn good so far. The game’s story is taking its time and that is really working for me.

Read Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths. It was a fun ride with some cool moments but just doesn’t quite stick the landing like Infinite and Final Crisis do for me.

My immediate thought is: Would you trust a man who is clearly a security risk because he is super easy to hack with running the country?

Dark Knight mode on the new Lego Batman is just not fun. It makes every encounter slog. Bumping the difficulty down to classic has improved things so much.

I just want to play Lego Batman but everyone else I my house is to overheated to go to sleep 😭😭😭😭😭

Oh wow they’re speed running clearing the deck. I’m sure the morale of everyone working on Destiny 2’s final update is just peachy 😩 A small army of extremely talented people who all deserve better.

I really hope this blows up in their faces. Google Search opened up the internet for many when it first started. Now it’s just whatever the hell this is.

Some of the best, long term, money saving advice is to pay into a pension if you can afford to. The problem is that it is increasingly unaffordable to pay into a pension due to stagnating wages and rising prices for everything.

Oh look we’re back at the dictating how to tell a story and what tools to use discourse 🥱 Pro tip: Use what works for you and be very wary of those who try to stop you.

Rivals is a fun time. It’s silly with just enough depth to keep you hooked.

Eurovision Update….until next time

Treated myself to thicc Batman By Grant Morrison omnibus!

I can say with absolute certainty that Elon Musk has never read the Odyssey.

Wow, Mix Tape is speed running the gaming discourse gauntlet!

Man, I wish English voters weren’t so pathologically stupid, it is the same grift but with different branding. At this point England is a liability to the prosperity of the UK.

Deffo in a bit of a gaming slump at the moment. Nothing is quite holding my attention.

“This franchise is NOT for kids!” - guy who got into it when he was 8.

Played some Lylat Wars tonight. The hype is real 🦊

The UK is fundamentally a stupid place. People voting in their droves for worse local leadership.

You know what? The Dark Knight Rises is aging surprisingly well.

If you’re angry that the new Star Fox is a remake of the old Star Fox, you haven’t been paying attention to the franchise.

HOT DAMNNNNNNNN!!!!! I’m one happy pilot right now 🦊

Glorious attention to detail on display from @misterabk.bsky.social!

Andor is a great show but a bad Star War. Happy May 4th!

Farage always buckles under pressure which is why he avoids his responsibility to his constituents and questioning from the press, even when that press has a clear bias in his favour.

Me: It’s too late to watch a movie. Also me: Let’s watch 5 episodes of a 45min a pop drama series!

Spent a couple of hours today organising and noodling away on my D&D setting in Legend Keeper.

Can confirm, Batman Begins still rocks, but in an awkward teenager who’s not quite figured themselves out yet kinda way. It is like 3 movies smooshed together.

Started watching Friends & Neighbours. Pretty good so far.

Comic books are great y’all!

🤮🤮🤮 How has it become so normalised for CEOs to say the most batshit inhumane things like this?!

Y’all what’s with the weird retroactive hate Batman: Hush is getting these days? I get if it’s not for you but there’s a bunch of people talking about it like it ruined Batman comics for 25 years.

They really know how and when to ratchet up the tension on For All Mankind

This week in British Politics: A hotly contested issue is whether or not MPs should be allowed to be drunk when voting.

Why is Taskmaster the Card Game in the Stonehenge gift shop?!

Making another attempt at reading Attack on Titan. I can’t remember why I fell off it the first time time 🤔

Just a casual evening drive past Stonehenge.

My injured arm would be manageable if the pain was consistent. Some stuff hurts like hell, others not so much, many vary wildly based on random whims.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my birthday organising my Batman: Gotham City Chronicles collection. So. Much. Plastic!

Recovery is going well, I finished work and promptly passed out for an hour 😅

Oh man I really enjoyed the new Malcom in the Middle. Perfect mix of moving stuff forward with a steady stream of nostalgia hits.

This week’s For All Mankind has well and truly broken me. I’m ugly crying in my hotel room as a result of some brilliant television. This show is so impactful because we’ve spent so long with the characters. It’s part of what makes it something special.
