In these troubling times, we can all take solace in the fact that if you make it big enough, decades on from your death someone might run a totally non-dodgy ad campaign promoting your greatest knee-slappers

Been a while since I've done a hardwarey feature, naturally it went exactly as planned

Don't get a chance to go back and re-evaluate a game I've reviewed often, but you best believe the one with northerners was always going to be an exception

Quick reminder that I'm an accomplished mock reviewer, trusted by lots of hit-making indie publishers including Devolver and 11 Bit Studios, as well as AAA folks I can't name cos I'm good with an NDA. If you reckon some of your followers could make use of my services, a repost is always appreciated!

Five articles in to my newsletter, and I'm pretty pleased with it. It's fun to write things that simply wouldn't exist on most websites, even if they are veering away from video games. If you haven't taken a look yet, the latest is about how I almost pissed myself lowpolymess.com/5-the-suffer...

Rebecca knows where it's at (it's at my newsletter, to be clear). If anyone wants one, I'll make custom Audrey the Spider plush toys for £300 a pop + postage. Can't guarantee the quality.

[Not an AF joke] I'm now deputy editor on RPS! Supporters can read all about it, which admittedly isn't much, because "I'm now deputy editor on RPS" basically covers everything www.rockpapershotgun.com/letter-from-...

DLSS 5 will never produce anything as impressive or as beautiful as V-Rally 3 on the Game Boy Advance: the Trinca Perspective youtu.be/r7i5C8GmnKM?...

Can confirm the red pudding train is a really useful engine, even if no one else in the game seems to fancy using it

Red Bull-linked f1 people when there's a one week gap where nothing happens between races two and three of the season

Befuddled please-help-with-article-research post #231231: I'm looking for examples and discussion of "postcolonial open worlds" (inc discussion of the validity of that term), together with formally unusual writing about open worlds.

From myself and the whole team at @eurogamer.bsky.social, a very fond farewell and huge thank you to our friends and colleagues (thread).💙

Already feels strange cut off from work. I don't like it. Please get in touch if you have any opportunities.

Sadly my role as Video Producer on Eurogamer's YouTube channel has been made redundant. After 7 years it's a heart-breaking goodbye, but I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be continuing to create the deepest of dives into videogame lore on my own YouTube channel! 🔍 YouTube.com/ZoeDels

PERSONAL NEWS: After 13 years working as a (legendary) video producer for @eurogamer.bsky.social I have been made redundant in the recent Gamer Network cuts. I loved that job so much (probably too much) and I will miss the people and the opportunities it gave me, but I'm not ready to give up yet!

🔴LIVE FROM 6:30PM GMT🔴 I may have been made redundant but I won't let that ruin a good Friday chaos stream! Join me for a look at the Marathon Server Slam, followed by REPO from 8pm and @PUBG customs from 9:30! Watch here: www.youtube.com/live/lFGivJj... or on twitch.tv/platform32

Alex is also great, an endless font of in-depth game knowledge and journalistic wisdom

Without both Tom and Dom not just deciding I was worth taking a chance on at VG back in 2023, but providing all the support anyone could ask for as I worked to grow and repay their faith, I genuinely don't know where I'd be.

RIP, the dwarf series and books have made me smile in tough times more often than I can count

Some news - today I’m launching One More Catch, an independent publication covering Pokémon Go and the next generation of Pokémon games: @onemorecatch.site

If like one or two more people had left, they'd have had to panic and pretend they'd appointed Master Chief's shapely buttocks while they hunted for an heir like the desperate court of a siblingless child king who's dying of the plague

POV you are about to lose at Guess Who

First review of the year from me, and one that took a lot to unpack

Same, the story and world building are 10/10, the creakier practical aspects of playing the thing which games have since evolved away from are the reason I'm still yet to do more than one playthrough

Now that we're firmly in 2026, I've got pitches I want to talk to you about! If you're looking for feature pieces, opinion pieces, news and reviews, I'm looking too! Shares appreciated, email is [email protected]

Bit of fresh reporting from me on one of the Disco thruple, or quadruple, or fivedruple, depending on how you prefer to classify them

Delighted to see this piece up! Massive thank you to all the women who shared their experience with me for this 🖤 www.gamesindustry.biz/a-decade-on-...

Update: RPS have gotten a heap more context from one of DoomScroll's creators and a modder who flagged concerns about how the level mods it includes have initially been filtered

I'm looking for work. I have experience working in news, features, interviews and essays, and am able to do any of the above.

So I'm taking the plunge and ordering some PC parts over Black Friday. If you appreciate what @startmenu.bsky.social has done over the years, like @rewinder.co.uk/my freelance work, or thought I didn't sound like an idiot on Game Mess Mornings, now would be a great time to show your appreciation.

Still looking for work! I've got ideas coming out of my ears, so hit me up!
