A great insight into what can capture the attention of a video games journalist. And shoutout to the @pantaloon.io team for creating a great bit of video games PR!

At @pressengine.net we've started pulling apart some of the Twitch data we injest, and we've come up with some interesting insights, paticularly week on week comparisons. Read the full post - www.linkedin.com/posts/collin... #pressengine #twitch #indiegames #PRAGMATA #Windrose #ARCRaiders

Bluesky, I need some help. Should I play Mouse PI, Crimson Desert or Pragmata… Which have you played and enjoyed? Or is there something else I should add to my list? #videogames #gaming

@seanferrick.bsky.social showing our love for Ups and Downs at @sciencemuseum.org.uk @startrek.bsky.social trail !

Looks like @xbox.com has taken up vibe coding … disaster looms.

Is it only me or has tonight’s #saintsfc game got 0-0 written all over it.

Second game in a row for #saintsfc where we just don’t look interested. Every flick, every challenge, every pass, just seems half-hearted. Stephens looks like he’d rather be anywhere else other than on the pitch.

We love games, we love playing them, we love seeing others enjoy them.. and above all, we love celebrating indie devs. This isn't a paid advert, this isn't a paid boost for the client - it's just because we love the game and that love turned into a conversation about a background image. ❤️❤️

Viewers and scorers on strictlyscoreboard.com once again on the money with this! #strictly #strictlycomedancing

Does anyone have Nigel Adkins’ phone number? #saintsfc

It was a painful number to see, and the industry is worse for the loss of so many talented people.

Bin the lot. The team, the manager, the board. We’d lose less games if we put Sammy Saint on the bloody pitch. This lot have not got a clue. #saintsfc

I really don’t see us winning any more games this season. We’re dreadful. #saintsfc

When the judges and the viewers are in sync!! #strictly

Hey @balsamiq.bsky.social team - I wondered whether there was any setting that would the minimap of your canvas visible all the time? I love using the map to move around large canvases quickly.

At Courage Cologne for #gamescom, enjoying all the amazing new indie games! Some absolute gems here!

@sotfest.bsky.social Devs Vs Community Football Highlights from @behavingbeardly.bsky.social Beardly did an amazing job with the video here, considering how hot it was! And I loved doing the commentary - looking forward to next year already. youtu.be/H_VbAtKNNk0

OMG someone made a mistake with a NES cartridge in a SNES. ALL THE MEDIA MUST WRITE! (Sarcasm) What is it with the fascination of negative articles in the video game industry. Shock and fake outrage is what this industry has become. Can't we just celebrate the boom in retro gaming?

Really thankful to @behavingbeardly.bsky.social for letting me do commentary on the @sotfest.bsky.social football match! I had an absolute blast! Thank you all the kind comments in chat!!

@mamp-pro.bsky.social Any news on an update to the Windows instance of MAMP? I see the MacOS instance is up to v7 with the ability to run MySQL 8, and Windows stuck at v5 and MySQL 5.

What music is helping you through this Friday? For me it’s playing my Snowboard Kids LP, remembering an amazing game!

Really looking forward to diving in to #AtomFall tonight. I love these sorts of games, and with it being set in the Cumbrian countryside I'm sure it's going to look and feel amazing.
