I just got around to watching the @futuregamesshow.bsky.social video by @nathan-byrne.bsky.social on the top 5 games from the last two years. It's been a tough few weeks for me and "why are you dressed as Sabrina Carpenter" made me audibly and involuntarily chuckle. Cheers.

The next time you hear someone say "It's a blessing in disguise", try imagining it to the Transformers theme tune.

Very sad that our copy of the new Lucy Dacus record on a zoetrope disc got delivered to the wrong address by the Royal Mail today and we have no idea where it is. My amazing wife is chasing it up.

Seeing all these posts about GDC and wishing desperately I still worked in game development. Some day I'll get back to the "promised land".

as some of you may have seen this AI slop that's on the playstation store. this is NOT keep driving and it's NOT our game. @playstation.com please remove this blatant copy. it's title isn't even grammatically correct...

Played the demo of @blueprincegame.bsky.social today. Really special experience and I can see why it's been getting its due praise (especially from the equally wonderful @islahinck.bsky.social ). It's like living in a mysterious boardgame that never existed. A definite one to watch out for!

Spent a good 3/4 hours of my Saturday evening on Keep Driving by @ycjygames.bsky.social. It's phenomenal and I don't regret a dash-tapping second of it. Will try and pull more thoughts together when I've calmed down.

The very notion of that specific person talking about "making America healthy again" is both darker and more ironic the longer you think about it.

Really excited to play this when it finally releases. Pretty much a perfect-for-me concoction of 90s nostalgia, gorgeous pixel art and a glorious melding of the mundane and the extraordinary.

Trying to balance the good and bad here, so to that regard. If you have a Netflix account and a tablet, I strongly urge you to try out the magnificent Golden Idol games by Color Gray and published by @playstack.com. I'm close to the end of Rise of the Golden Idol and it's superb.

Maybe it's because I'm playing Final Fantasy VII Remake - but seeing an awful lot of Shinra comparisons going on across the pond at the moment. Emphasis on the "awful".

There are few things better than when guitar-centric songs pause for a single beat and then drop back into it. Often before repeating the last chorus but not always the case. "I Want To Hear You Sad" by The Early November does this a few times.

Condolences to my American friends. I will always love your country and the time I spent there. I hope you come through these 4 years as unscathed as possible. I'm rooting for y'all.

Blown away by a bug a recent tester found. Turns out there are some timed moments that are based on the length of some voiceover lines, and if you turn off the voiceover the game will go kablooee. Until today, nobody (not even me) thought to turn off the voiceover. Amazing.

I enjoyed your recent sweater video @patrickhwillems.bsky.social. Not quite as much as the train videos but it went down well as an afternoon watch with a cup of tea. I was wondering how well Pamela Vorhees from Friday the 13th fared on your scale?

Hello, it's a new year so I want to connect more with the world again starting here. Been migrating some low points but plan on making 2025 a year for renewal. I try to believe in two truths - There is always an opportunity to be kind or nice and Monkey Island 2 is(for me) the best game of all time.
