Just finished this and it was great fun. Always enjoy the Word Bearers and their nonsense. No spoilers but was hard not to grin as Rich pulled all the threads together at the end, making me want to read it again. Excited to see what he does next.

I can make myself stop hiccuping by just thinking it

Oh so the games industry can muster up another Witcher expansion but apparently a new Viva Piñata is too much effort, is that how it is, you disgust me

Ok this is a truly great tweet

We should make it illegal for MPs to use public toilets and changing rooms, and if you see someone you think might be an MP using one you can confront them, and they have to carry their Westminster pass and show it to you, and then you can kick them out. But, like, in a respectful supportive way.

I had a dream that Robert Muldoon snuck up on me and I immediately said “clever girl” and I was so pleased with myself.

Insane thing to post as you're implementing the segregation of trans people across the UK. "...to trans people who have spent far too long in uncertainty, waiting for confirmation on how they will be able to live out their daily lives in public." And then basically answering: they shouldn't.

This one hurts. www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Ar...

Eldest wants Minecoins to buy a mod. Fine by me. Buy a gift card and whack it on their Xbox account. Go to Minecraft store. Denies they have enough cash. Get stuck in a loop trying to verify. Eventually fix it by turning off Ask To Buy. Internet full of people with this issue. Classic Microsoft!

EA has clearly noticed my FC playtime has fallen off dramatically so they have decided to put me on the red list for LaLiga TOTS. First pack!

Finished Mixtape. Just wonderful. So full of love. I'll think about it for a long time.

Congratulations @christapsell.bsky.social on taking over the big chair at EG! I was reading your Mixtape review today and thinking how happy I was to still see that kind of effortlessly smart writing on the site, which almost makes up for you having the wrong name. www.eurogamer.net/hello-euroga...

Can anyone think of a game where having limited inventory size (with/without the ability to store stuff in crates) is a thing that makes the game better? Other than technical or lore reasons, why does anyone still do this? It always sucks! Give me infinite pockets. I'll suspend my disbelief.

Just hit a 1000-day streak in DuoLingo. I have absolutely no idea how to say that in the language I’ve been studying.

Why is it called 007 First Light and not Britman: Agent 007

Name a game you’ve completed more than six times

My lovely friend @bonzrat.bsky.social worked on this game and I can’t wait to play it. www.metacritic.com/game/saros/

Rolled credits on Pokopia. I don't think anyone has made anything in recent years that was so perfectly pitched to all my video game preferences. Endless tidying up, overlapping craft chains, cute animals, chonky and reliable UI... I need to play other stuff now, but don't want to.

I shouldn't be tempted by PLAION/SNK re-releasing the Neo Geo AES later this year but having briefly possessed the real thing about ten years ago I may fall for this ruse of theirs. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/snk-is-...

Just had the loft boarded and a new loft ladder installed and I’ve bought a bunch of massive Really Useful storage crates. Not sure I’ve been this excited about a weekend since I got married!!!

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

How I feel as I try to explain the Sora news to family members

Oh my god. I just went through my first proper gate in Pokopia. I didn’t realise! I thought the game was just what I had! This is amazing!

One great thing about Pokemon Pokopia is that even when I’m knackered at the end of the day, and I don’t feel like doing anything, I know I can fire it up and just have a nice time tending to my happy little village of friendly animals. Bliss.

This is some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard and I’ve interviewed Don Mattrick

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

Sometimes I think I might be the only person left still whistling the Viva Piñata TV show theme tune. We flew too close to the sun with that one.

I am interrupting nearly a decade of not tweeting to let you know that Pokemon Pokopia is *Pokemon Viva Piñata*. This is not a drill!

Very well.
