One of my favourite stupid things about baby groups is that so many stop for summer and other school holidays.

i just released walk demo on @itch.io you can play without downloading! link: bilgetbd.itch.io/walk

Current ear worm from singing nonsense to the baby: I like celery I ring up the hotline Tell them I like celery They send me a badge

Deeply funny to have your President cheat on your behalf and then crash out of the world cup in the next game.

Funny to see live artists I like using AI to generate images for their shows, proof if it was needed that that generation of live artists is getting on a bit.

Really levelled up as a white guy who works in games today.

Why are people putting The Telegraph into my feed by choice?

I do think we need to retire the phrase “hidden gem” for a bit because today I saw someone claiming The Ring game on Dreamcast was one and no, it was crap then, it’s crap now, it’s crap.

Watched Funeral Parade Of Roses last night and it absolutely blew my socks off. An amazing film in terms of it's filmmaking and formal playfulness and a brilliant document of a moment in Japan's queer history. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdiK...

If Sony do go through with binning off physical videogames then pour one out for the real victims. Those blokes on Tiktok who film themselves walking around CEX commentating on what games are currently in there.

All I can say is at least browsing the online stores of consoles is a top tier experience.

Sometimes when I’m in a cab the driver is listening to Kisstory and I’m instantly transported to the time my 7 week old baby was admitted into hospital for a bunch of MRIs and tests and on the first night leaving her on the ward I sat in a cab home crying to club classics on Kisstory.

Nearly all our games are on sale in the Steam Summer Sale, some up to 75% off! Spend some time zooming around on a giant bird, slicing into people's memories as a ghost, organizing a warehouse, doing jigsaw puzzles or hooning about as a kite/snake/wyrm. store.steampowered.com/publisher/ho...

The main reason is that people who in live in Manchester never shut the fuck up about living in Manchester and how they are god’s chosen people: bsky.app/profile/jonn...

Bought myself a new summer shirt where the website model was giving summer cocktails on a French beach as the sun sets vibes. I’m giving real guy who knows his way round a BBQ in a British backyard vibes in it.

Finished replaying FF7 Rebirth tonight and I forgot how badly it wiffs everything from the end of the Temple Of The Ancients onwards.

hot cha beer, long beach, california, 1977

Went outside, don’t recommend.

Got someone in repainting my skirting boards and all I want to do is lie in the bath with the shower running but I can't do that because I need to look like I have a proper job to the tradesman in my house.

Enjoyable time at the cinema catching the new restoration of Angel’s Egg even if someone a few rows ahead did keep sticking their arms in the air for no real reason throughout the film which was quite distracting.

Look, I know it's easy to have a pop at Starmer, but that was an incredibly honourable resignation he was forced into kicking & screaming, & his words that everyone who disagreed with him was morally bankrupt & his appeasement of fascists & transphobes was for the good of the country was v. moving

Well Starmer's gone but we can remember the good times he bought us as prime minister:

God, it must be so tiring making your entire internet vibe being a mean arsehole. Profitable but tiring.

@innes.bsky.social Not sure they have any liquid left but still up your alley surely? bsky.app/profile/morr...

BREAKING: Scientists reveal what every piece of genAI cover and key art on albums and video games is going to look like on 20 years.

Hey, does anyone have any fun anecdotes about starting or running a food business, like a cafe or restaurant? It's for a thing..

On the day the horseshoe crabs came.

Bought one of my favourite films on 4K from the US as I was bored of waiting for it to come out here.

One of my main parenting opinions is the “That’s Not My X” kids books are shite and would be so much better if they were framed as “Which X Is Yours?”.

Hard to believe a Ken Russell film featuring a deranged street preacher stalking a prostitute with his deadly vibrator would be a bit boring and yet thanks to Bobby Grady vast swathes of Crimes Of Passion are.

I hope now that Burnham has won that byelection and is on his way to becoming PM that he stops using that horrible avatar of his.

Respect to the out of office I just got saying "I'm away on the 29th April. I will reply once I get back". Truly someone who has hit the bricks.

As ever, following @kirkdalebooks.bsky.social is a danger to your bank balance. There you are browsing Bluesky to avoid doing some work and they randomly drop the name of a very interesting sounding book which you then end up buying.

If you call your film An Elephant Sitting Still then I wanna see at least one elephant sitting still.

Epic’s insistent belief that people want to play as their Fortnite characters in other games or that developers even want that too is one of the more bizarre strands of the videogames industry in 2026.

Real power combo at the cinema this week. Seeing Hu Bo's An Elephant Sitting Still tonight and Ken Russell's Crimes Of Passion tomorrow.

Listening to any person talking about the under 16 social media ban who starts going on about days in the park with their friends when they were young etc just starts sounding like Ron Manager from The Fast Show to me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NeR...

This manifesto captures a lot of what makes Dungeon Encounters so good but I would say if you can you should just go play it and discover all the nonsense in there for yourself - bsky.app/profile/mokk...
