If Nora Armstrong does not return in Metroid Prime 5 my fury will know no bounds!

🎄 Just getting my last Xmas cards out there. ✍🏼 Dear cabinet....

Ew.

Right, now that Firefox also sucks, are there any decent browsers left?

This Government once vowed to be “the most nature-positive [we have] ever had”. Months of blaming wildlife and stripping back protections have already made a mockery of that promise. And if the rumoured cuts to BNG go ahead, it will deal yet another devastating blow to nature.

People are choosing a politics of decency, courage and imagination. They’re choosing a politics that doesn’t scapegoat the vulnerable or remain quiet on injustice. People are choosing to make hope normal again. www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

“Here’s the bias of politics: leftwing policies are portrayed as unrealistic and childish, while the centre and right’s ideas are framed as sensible and all that’s possible.” My column on a system that welcomes Reform and dismisses the Greens as fantasy. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

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...

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

79% of homes sold in Dublin this year were bought by landlords, 75% by large landlords. About 1 in 5 TDs are landlords. This is disgusting dog whistling. The problem has never been people seeking asylum. The problem is people seeking to endlessly profit from folks just looking for a home.

"What if your robot was just a guy?"

Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein is, as expected, a masterpiece of gothic excess. But above all else it is a hugely sympathetic portrait that understands Mary Shelley's creature. The film asks for understanding to all those cast aside, neglected. It is a film not of absolution, but hope.

Lost in the Garden is my favourite debut horror novel since Tell Me I'm Worthless. A psychedelic 70's folk horror flick unfolding in dream-like prose. Highly recommended.

For those who missed it, here's my obituary for Charlie Kirk, a man who made the world worse every day he drew breath. www.patreon.com/posts/on-vio...

If you only read one piece today about how wrong Ezra Klein is when he claims Kirk did politics the right way, make it this piece by Ta-Nehisi Coates where he asks: “If you would look away from the words of Charlie Kirk, from what else would you look away?” www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

If anybody is in the fence about Duolingo becoming absolutely AI slop I just, with no prompting had this sentence: "That dog passed away four hundred years ago." Good for memorising Kanji though. Maybe my phone is haunted.

Starmer's Labour are not just as bad as the Tories, they are worse. Vile bigots.

Kinda want to become a puppet guy.

We must expose the government’s complicity in genocide.

they are v cute 🦧🎤✨

What video game ignited your passion for gaming? (GIFs only) The first time a game world felt like a real, living place with all the warmth and threat that entails. Every new room was a new discovery, everything felt do player directed and natural.

Superman isn't perfect, who cares? It has heart, feels lived in without feeling like an advertisement for other media properties and is exactly the film it wants to be while feeling relevant and necessary for the moment. Maybe it's maudlin, but the scene between Clarke and his father is moving.

It's #TrailerTuesday so here I am. I'm stuck in the 90s, so i'm developping an ARPG inspired by 90s gems 💙 👉 Kickstarter and demo in October #gamedev #indieGameDev #indiegames

Listen, I would rather be here than the Nazi app, however, is it just me or did Bluesky become an absolute no craic zone?

Donkey Kong Bananza is a definite contender for GOTY so far. Once you get into the flow you will experience a kind of fuge state I can only describe as the monke-zone.

Finally had the chance to see Sparks live at Wolverhamptom tonight. Incredible gig. One of the most receptive and enthusiastic audiences I've encountered at a performance. Killer rendition of When Do I Get to Sing it My Way, what else could you ask for?

Fingers crossed 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (what a title) will feature Mr. Blobby. The world needs to know how many little freaks there are/were running around the UK.

Every single person associated with this needs to spend the rest of their lives in a windowless cell.

You can repair a plane. You can replace a broken window. But you can’t bring back the dead. We must defend the right to protest. Solidarity with Palestine Action 🇵🇸

Never has this quote been more appropriate

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.
