Would recommend Glasgow/Scotland gamedev gang

This has made me play a lot of early 2000s games I missed out on, so I'd like to make a revelation and say the Need for Speed Underground 2 soundtrack is good

I've always thought the best games console ever made is the Nintendo DS Lite, I had one in white, so of course I've caved and bought an AYN Thor

Scottish dev studio making a Scottish Silent Hill feels really good. Suddenly I'm a Silent Hill fan.

we've never been more back. if you're still in line, stay in line

Probably the biggest problem with being a game critic is you never hear what other people think of you

Idk if I was in leadeeship at a studio that released a wildly successful and critically acclaimed RPG that made me insanely rich the last thing I'd do is whine or post on social media ever again but maybe I'm just built different.

My Hytale character kinda looks like he manipulates women and I don't know how to fix it

Something very special about being able to watch Adventure Time compilations on YouTube for my professional job purposes

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

A weird adaption to put to film/TV considering it's just smushing 2-3 franchises and sci-fi tropes together, but then again Stranger Things exists

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist. Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

Rewatched Knives Out to bring in the new year, and it somehow hit 00:00 at the perfect scene

Avatar 3 completely lost me I'm afraid. When your movie is 3 hours long and that badly written, incredible visuals won't save it. Think it's time we wrap it up.

Merry Christmas! My cat is in a jumper

Hey new followers! Here’s a starter pack of folks who do game trailer work 👀 Have a nice holiday 😙

Been looking forward to this for so long. Adventure Time DLC! More PowerWash x Adventure Time trailers coming 2026! Yippee!!!

Annoyed that One Battle After Another isn't coming to DVD in the UK until January, it's literally a Christmas movie

Watched some of Expedition 33 over Blair's shoulder. Looks cool. It's like Persona but for the employed.

almost missed this email let's go

With The Running Man shot in Glasgow, Frankenstein featuring both Edinburgh and the Wallace fucking Monument, and I Swear shot in my hometown, being a movie fan in Scotland makes me feel like nowhere else exists

has anyone else noticed that food tasted better in the past? it was mushy and easy to eat. and the spoon would come at you like an airplane

Second year in a row. If it ain't broke

12 Angry Men by SahinDuezguen #12AngryMen

Watched Shaun of the Dead. Checked phone to see Scotland's qualified for the World Cup. Never been more back.

Looking myself in the mirror and telling myself I don't need a modded 3DS

You're probably taking drugs, or having sex. Disgusting. I'M watching DVD featurettes from The Taking of Pelham 123 about the accurate mapping of the New York subway system.

Just finished watching The Running Man. As a previous Edgar Wright copium defender, I have to say, please Edgar

Turned 26 today. Still saying this every year all day long

Just fucking insane to see the absolute (intentional) collapse of full remote jobs available for AAA studios in so short a time. Why would I EVER move for a job again when I could be laid off weeks after moving my entire life across the globe??

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

Never made an accolades trailer before! Ty @solfleet.bsky.social especially for the existential crisis 🙂‍↕️

This is the best use of a quote from one of my reviews I’ve ever seen. Absolutely incredible. Career moment.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...

Been locked into The Séance of Blake Manor all weekend. For detective game fans like me that always feel a bit let down by the genre, this one gets it. Also super happy for @spookydoorway.bsky.social as someone who played Darkside Detective as a demo on GameJolt maybe 10 years ago? I feel ancient.

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct. Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Took an eye test and discovered I needed glasses recently. Some questions for glasses users: 1. why do they hurt with over-ear headphones so much has nobody thought about this 2. how much of my life will I spend cleaning smudges 3. does it get any less expensive

I've been sceptical of Glasgow council recently but I'll admit, building a mega ramp for cars to stunt on in my area is an impressive move

New release date trailer from me, a training video for all new employees!! 😎 Made in collaboration with @cheekbonetv.bsky.social and their sparkling capture team 💦

when I was defending itch I heard from a lot of - frankly to my shock - other queers who were like "it's a platform, platforms are the enemy" and until we're able to distinguish _as users_ the ways in which worker owned services aren't your enemy and deserve grace, we won't be seeing very many
