whatever you call this art style - PS2 era medium-poly characters with hand-made highly detailed but also somewhat blurry textures with baked-in lighting - I absolutely love it and it makes me want to drop everything and make games

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

I am happy to report that both Scrubs and Marathon are good fun, actually

Well then. After 9 years my role of Editorial Director at Eurogamer/IGNE has been made redundant. If you’re reading this and feel I have a lot of valuable experience (I do), I’m keen to explore any opportunities (full time, consulting, other) in the games industry. I am great.

Today is #PokemonDay, the 30th anniversary of Pokémon Red and Green coming out in Japan. Here's your reminder that Britain is Charmander country: PREFERRED RED/BLUE STARTER POKEMON 🔥 Charmander: 51% 💦 Squirtle: 21% 🍃 Bulbasaur: 15% yougov.com/en-gb/articl...

we don't even know how to reticulate splines anymore

For my entire career, I've been an employee. It's time for a change. Looking for a narrative lead? Story consultant? Writer? Game designer? All of the above? I'm available for contract work. Let's talk. 👉 grant.games (Or if you don't want to share me with anyone else, we can talk about that too.)

It's no exaggeration to say that this, the news that stinkbug eggs look exactly like a hape of creamy pints, is one of the most impactful things that's ever happened in the history of Irish posting. A dazzling event. A nuclear level revelation.

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

Help me out and pop over to the not-worst-but-still-bad-place and share this plea for support for @limitbreak.co.uk We've had some AMAZING businesses and individuals step up to keep the program alive but I'd love to see a bit more to fulfil our potential🙏💖 www.linkedin.com/posts/heydan...

In between various bouts of working, my mind is drifting to loads of old games I don't own... and some I do. I'm currently looking for Final Fantasy XI on the PS2 for my collection, despite owning the PC version in a much nicer box. I'm not well.

Oh no. Oh nooooo. Xbox's new CEO is a natalist/birthrater. How did MS miss this in their opsec? Literal stone's throw away from the likes of Palmer Luckey. "Will my son have classmates in the future? ...the fertility rates are declining." Then she suggests the fix is... AI? Timestamped:

Okay, UK writers and book folk, we need to be talking about this. It’s a big (bad) deal.

I'll do you one better. Can't let you have all the fun yourself!

Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you can show Burnout 3 footage to people two decades later and their reaction will still be "hell yeah, this rules. I wanna play this right now."

Oh, you think it's ai because of em dashes? Where did ai get em dashes from? WHERE DID IT GET THEM, MOTHERFUCKER?

UPDATE: plaintiffs have now informed the court that Smash is an idiot. The court has also granted the motion to compel that they were previously hesitant to act on before defendant responded. Well played.

Having a proportional representation system of voting in the UK would absolutely give us more Reform MPs, but it would also ensure they had to compromise and be even less effective than they would be if they default into power via FPTP. That is the first change to fixing the UK, it really really is.

"WE'VE ARRESTED TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE BY MISTAKE"

UK ban on Palestine Action unlawful, high court judges rule www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Breaking: on two counts, the High Court has ruled that the Labour government's proscription of the campaign group Palestine Action was unlawful – a win for its co-founder Huda Ammori, who sought a judicial review of the ban

Outstanding. A triumph for liberty and against unrestrained state power. The government should be ashamed of having to be forced into this position. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions. Then covered it up again when caught. Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country. Subscribe to support our journalism.
