I don't have high hopes for The Game Awards this year (then again, it hasn't ever really been an "awards" show, it's more of an announcements show with some awards thrown in). However, I will watch it purely for this to see if it's worth it.

Still one of my all time favourite games.

The future of Tomb Raider will be revealed at The Game Awards this Thursday. gameinformer.com/2025/12/08/t...

There seems to be a lot of misinformation about Bluesky not being affected by the social media ban in Australia for those under 16. They are affected, just differently, as will be a lot of other unlisted platforms. For more info, read this excerpt from the eSafety website.

Weren't they already announced? Besides, it's not going to go well after what happened this year. A lot of creators are going to pull out of attending next year. Twitch has a LOT to fix and needs to show evidence they're putting creators first in terms of event safety and platform upgrades.

I am super down to check this out. It's doing a lot of new things you don't see in this genre, but it could work really well. In some ways, it reminds me of how innovative Split/Second was to the racing genre. Carmageddon is definitely the right franchise to experiment with here. I can't wait.

On Friday night, I went to my first ever local tournament for Pokemon TCG. I may have ended the night with 2 wins and 2 losses playing Dragapult Cahrizard, but the people there were awesome and helped me have a great time while I dealt with my anxiety. The MVP was my amazing partner though.

Halo: Campaign Evolved is a full remake of Halo: Combat Evolved's story with new missions, content, and features. It will also be the first Halo game to come to PlayStation in addition to Xbox and PC. Read our hands-on impressions here: gameinformer.com/2025/10/24/h...

Twitch may be trying to move quickly on content understanding features, but what about their ability to understand the users of their platform? Their attention to their users hasn't increased in a VERY long time, and this statement from Mike Minton proves it. Streamers don't want AI trash.

Having read today's Fallout Day announcements, I have to say I'm underwhelmed by what was revealed. All I wanted was the announcement of a new game, and we didn't even get that. Just content updates and re-releases.

OUT NOW! Night Jackal Blood Debt is THE superhero boomer shooter. Big story, big guns, big moments. It's also only $3/€3/£2.50. Give it a try!

Third Steam Next Fest Demo: Bubsy 4D: a fun return to the Bubsy series of platformer. It will be the 6th overall title in the series, and the 2nd in 3D (Bubsy 3D was released in 1996 for the PS1!). Highly recommended. store.steampowered.com/app/4032170/...

Second Steam Next Fest Demo: PAINKILLER! I've waited MONTHS to get my hands on this one, and it's SO GOOD! For a long time, I've wanted an FPS game that felt like each level was raid-like with fair but challenging objectives in large levels. This DELIVERS! store.steampowered.com/app/2300120/...

First Steam Next Fest Demo: This is Fine: Maximum Cope is a really fun retro adventure platformer. I generally don't play 2D platformer games, but this one is genuinely fun to navigate, balanced in its difficulty, and its humour is exactly on point. store.steampowered.com/app/3994730/...

Y'all get on this, it's really, really good!

FORZA HORIZON 6 IS SET IN JAPAN!!! About time we got such an iconic country in this amazing series. Will be playing the hell out of it when it releases in 2026.

Mala Petaka from @hellforgestudios.bsky.social is a blast. Finished it on Normal difficulty after 4 hours of gameplay. Couple of bugs (nothing game breaking) in my playthrough, but well worth the time and your support. Check it out when it releases later this week. Thanks Hellforge for the code!

They didn't even code their own engine. Borderlands 4 runs on Unreal Engine 5. "Code your own engine" means nothing here, he's just being defensive. It's just poorly optimized and he's afraid to admit that they released the game way too early to fix the performance bugs before launch.

Is it just me or is the UI for Google Pixel phones getting worse with every major update? I absolutely hate the direction it's going. I want it back to what it looked like in Android 15.

Twitch's front page recommendations are godawful these days. I'm just constantly getting things I don't want to watch. What they need to do is very simple: give users a menu where they can filter out everything they don't want using checkboxes (i.e. partnered streamers, languages, categories etc).

Decided to install Linux yesterday ahead of Windows 10 going into end-of-life. I chose Fedora. It's great once you have it setup. Gaming feels great so far, it's easy for me to navigate KDE for the most part, and I'm looking forward to doing a lot more testing on it moving forward.

It's just a matter of time before I wipe my laptop to install Linux. I've chosen my distribution already, just deciding whether to wait for the next release in a couple of months or not.

This is 100% for Microsoft's stupid AI garbage. Switch away from Microsoft Office if you use it. This should NOT be legal, especially for business/government sensitive information and personal data. If you want an alternative that is completely free and respects privacy, try OnlyOffice instead.

Update (July 7, 2025)

This is Borderlands 4 all over again. They need to think about their consumers if they want to succeed, not just their business model. This is going to make people boycott the platform and find ways around it. There always will be that group that will find a way.
