Exclusive: Google DeepMind will train its AI technology on EVE Online after Google took a multi-million-dollar stake in the sci-fi MMORPG's developer. EVE Online is famous for players' corporate espionage, economic maneuvering and politicking. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I cannot claim credit for this meme, my pal @hauntedhouse.bsky.social texted it to me after he found it on Reddit, so if you thought of this and created it, you are a genius.

Happy birthday to me, muddy funsters! Look at the girth on this beautiful beast! Get you a wife who buys you Spider-Man 2099 comics for yer big day - over the moon! 🥳🎉🎁🎈🎊

Planned Alpha Playtest coming to Steam in summer

Just been reading a great roundup of the 25 biggest breakthroughs of the 21st century — from CRISPR and reusable rockets to modern AI. Wild to realise how much the world has changed in twenty-odd years. A reminder of what human ingenuity can pull off. 🚀🔬 www.sciencefocus.com/future-techn...

Doubling-down on our communities and nurturing them is exactly how we’re approaching development of our EVE Universe games - it’s our number one consideration for EVE Vanguard, EVE Frontier and, of course, EVE Online.

Looking for a reviewer for the upcoming PC/Mobile #MMO Sword of Justice from NetEase. We can get you set up with a preview account as well as with currency to check out the in-game store if you're game. Email in bio / shoot me a DM here if interested.

259 hours and 25 minutes later, I’ve finished #TheWitcher3: Wild Hunt, plus both DLCs. Every quest, contract, and question mark. (I skipped Gwent - not my thing. I was here for monsters and moral dilemmas, not Hearthstone in medieval Poland. Sorry, Zoltan!) 1/7 🧵

I got to play @PlayEVEVanguard's Operation Nemesis event that's still live and free to play right now until Oct. 2nd. Here's some beginner tips to get you started. Play at evevanguard.com #sponsored www.youtube.com/watch?v=th2W...

Nothing is more emblematic of living in North Kingston than seeing an empty can of Appletiser littering an otherwise pristine grass verge. I suppose if this was Kensington or Chelsea, it would be San Pellegrino.

#Titanfall2 still holds up (to put it mildly). Just wrapped the campaign again - first time on PC in ultrawide on my rig - and wow, it looks *incredible*. The Titan cockpit details really pop when you’ve got that extra field of view. 1/4

At the grand old age of 43, I seem to be having the gentlest midlife crisis in history. No sports car or reckless spending. Just a slow drift back to Stüssy hoodies, Mambo tees, and the creeping suspicion that it’s been downhill, culturally speaking, since the turn of the millennium.

Every summer, without fail, I spot them. Packs of teenage Italian school kids in London, usually on the Tube or milling about near stations. Saw a group today at London Bridge. Chatty, cheerful, slightly chaotic. It's oddly comforting. 1/4

Went for my first run in over a year this morning. Came back home, checked the mirror… still fat, somehow. What gives?! 🤷‍♂️😅 On the plus side, discovered that Radiohead's Pablo Honey makes for a weirdly great running album. “Anyone Can Play Guitar” is an absolute banger on the move. 🏃‍♂️

I’ll be speaking at #GPMSummit this September at Novotel London West - oddly enough, the same place my wife and I did our NCT course. Topic: how to build a brand before revealing your product. Say hi if you spot me!

Crunch in game dev: 6 weeks of long nights, cold pizza, and a ticking countdown to glory. Crunch in parenting: 6 years of long nights, cold coffee, and a countdown to… more teeth coming in. Burnout used to have an endpoint. Now it just changes nappy sizes. #dadlife #burnout

The Center Parcs formula: Take Butlins. Add trees. Replace Redcoats with "Activity Leaders" in North Face. Swap karaoke for artisanal pottery workshops. Charge premium. Profit. Still had a blast though! #BoujieBritishHolidays

Just back from 5 days at Center Parcs Woburn Forest: a forested kingdom of scooters, splash zones, overpriced theme restaurants, and relentless soft play. It’s basically boujie Butlins—and I say that with love. 1/5

On my journeys to and from #EVEFanfest2025 in Reykjavík, I ended up watching *four* movies. That’s two more than I usually watch in a whole quarter. Airplanes are basically Netflix purgatory with turbulence. Here’s how it went:

Pat m'f'kkin Garratt is writing about vidjagaemz again, muddy funsters! I am OTT excited to see this absoulte LEGEND spit fire once again. This is the best industry news ALL DECADE!

EVE Frontier - the world's first MMMOSSHRPG.

Today is an #anamanaguchi day. Lo-fi chip-tune infused indie sleaze FTW 🎶

Hang about... When did Stüssy clothing become a thing again? What's next? Bleubolt jeans? Airwalk skate shoes? Ah well, I always wanted to wear Stüssy as a kid so I've bought this ridiculously overpriced zip-up hoodie.

Seems I can often tell if a game’s Asian or Western just from the trailer's English VO. Asian games lean into determined, impassioned, theatrical delivery, while Western ones favour mumbling, stumbling, and poignant pauses. Neither is better—just different styles. Not a hard rule, just a pet theory!

DO NOT EMAIL PR IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A JOB. I have no way to evaluate your 2D art. Everything more complicated than the Cool S looks like magic to me.

We now have a verified Bluesky account for @eveonline.com! Niiiiice 😍

Brave is so much better than Chrome it's not even funny, and I say this as a web browser/email client junkie whose daily drivers are still Firefox and eM Client.

Had my first proper session on #TheWitcher3 on my PC since upgrading my GFX card + CPU and IMHO the difference in fidelity between it and the PS5 version is gigantic! Playing at 144 FPS with full ray tracing, all settings on ultra/max and DLSS on Quality makes everything eye-wateringly gorgeous 🥹🤩

An excellent technique that would also apply to gate review feedback.

I heard there was a secret ooze that turned four reptiles into dudes, but you don’t really care for turtles do ya

🚨 Momentous occasion alert: I’m trading in my Xbox 360 at CEX in Kingston today. This might just be the most emotional gaming farewell I’ve had. Why? Because the Xbox 360 generation wasn’t just a console era—it was *the* console era. Let me explain. 🧵 /1

My newborn son has turned my life into a hostage negotiation where the ransom is 3 consecutive hours of rest. Paternity leave: where "free time" is a myth and Dr. Ian Malcolm's wisdom applies to parenting. Stay tuned for my unfiltered opinions... once I remember what coherent thought feels like. 🍼😴

Just had my *ninth* eye operation yesterday—hopefully the last! After grafts, crosslinking, rings, tweaks, and revisions, I’m running out of things to fix. If I need a tenth, I’ll be asking for a loyalty card. Nine surgeries should at least get me a free one, right? 🤷‍♂️

Yay, look who’s here! The myth, the man, the legend 🤩

Hugh Grant has definitely reached the Chaotic Awesome phase of his career.

Huge if true

“Bluesky feels like the good old days of Twitter”

A very nice starter pack by the ineffable @emilyloolah.bsky.social - quite possibly my favourite yet! Perfect for UK-based video games PR/communication types of a left-leaning persuasion. go.bsky.app/ADxXPZ9

More like: “what’s the ETA on the revised final v3 cup asset for our announcement? It was due yesterday and the embargo is tomorrow morning! Thanks 😅”

To my delight, just managed to get 40% of the cost towards this upgrade in cash by trading in my old parts at that hero of the high street, CeX. Boom! 💥

Just saw a man in baggy camo-coloured combat trousers walk into CeX to trade in a bunch of PS1 games and I had to check I hadn’t accidentally travelled back in time. Also, just got a really good deal on my old 3080 Ti GPU and Core i7 13K CPU - makes my recent upgrade feel much more justifiable 😇
