Well, @lukeplunkett.com 's Aftermath bonus blog just landed in my inbox, and it is as hilarious as it is an oustanding example of editorial skill.

Watching the awesome Galaxies Showcase? You can find out more on each game, contact promoters and request code for a bunch of games featured in tonight's Galaxies Showcase via the landing page on PressEngine: app.pressengine.net The page will update with more announcements at the end of the show.

We are proud to be a part of Steam's Next Fest! Check out the new trailer, and grab the demo! It's available now!

Content Creators - hit the link for exclusive access. Media, do not worry, I got you.

I look forward to seeing you all in Cologne tomrorow. You will find me eating McRibs at random times. Top Tip: When flying from Cologne on your way back, the McDonalds is not air side; you need to get a McRib before you go through security.

6 predictions for AI on #gamedev Nr 1: The bubble period will continue to be incredibly damaging to studios above a certain size. AI is part of an already existent trend that goes back a long time. Reduced cost and scale of development is the issue (not the opposite)..

Gaza is a pile of rubble, with two million people living in tents with no food, water or access to medical treatment. So Israel launches a ground offensive. This isn't about hostages anymore, it is about the destruction of Gaza and the genocide of Palestinians, and the world is complicit.

Disney are brilliant with Neurodivergent kids. That is all.

Twitter is full of actual fucking morons. Please don't think about going back. I wish I hadn't, even though it's only for work.

\it's too hot, which means it's picky tea time. Bring it.

I love working in the games industry. My favourite part is when I'm on a flight and I can't get any emails, WhatsApps, Zendesks, slacks, discords, FB messages, Twitter& BlueSky DMs or SMS/phonecalls. Now is one of those times ✈️

I once questioned Liam Gallagher's income and he sarcastically called me a sexy fucker. I also once told the internet to retweet me, and I'd contribute to Keymailer's Ko-Fi account, because they needed the money. (then a competitor). I contributed the full £80 to their account.

Might also be worth talking to a couple of commercial people at football clubs. Strong rivalry for a few years on club rights.

More politicians like Jonathan Reynolds please.

Laura Kuenssberg is an awful journalist. Awful.

So if the Nuclear threat is severely inhibited or 'totally obliterated' why is Benji still attacking Iranian infrastructure? It's almost as if he was lying, using Iran as a ruse to prolong his time in office. He'll still be flattening Gaza and anyone else to stay in power in six months.

This former CNN expert on BBC News is very biased. Basic BBC as normal then

So much for only targeting Iran's supposed Nuclear programme. Almost as if they're prepping for a ground war. Don't confuse Iraeli's with the Israel government; the government is doing everything it can to stay in power under a unity agreement. Benji knows he's on the way out

AND ANOTHER THING: We are not interested in PressEngine being the platfrom with 10,000 requests for keys, which results in 500 pieces of coverage. We're far more interested in PressEngine being the platform with 2,000 requests for keys, which results in 1600+ pieces of coverage

Thread on how to get access to PressEngine if you're an #influencer or #contentcreator. We've delined over 25,000 accounts. We often talk about what we're not interested in, so here's a thread on what we are interested in...

I enjoyed this one, so had to share.

Any journalists gonna be at SDCC or live in the San Diego area? I'm helping with a VIP launch event and wanna know who to start reaching out to (◕◡◕✿)

You should know that I've changed my job title at PressEngine. I am now Lord Commander, PressEngine.

I can't tell you the clients who will be using PressEngine's event feature for gamescom, but I can tell you some of the biggest announced and unannounced games will be using the platform. PressEngine reduces pain and time spent scheduling and booking appointments. pressengine.net/features/eve...

An actual message sent to PressEngine. Top Tip: Don't be a dickhead.

I was wrong. Adolescence episode 3 is the best television ever made.

Have uninstalled Twitter form my phone again, this time for good.

Don't go back to Twitter, it's fucking worse than ever.

Developers, if you're thinking of calling your game a single word, make it a word that doesn't exist. Don't make it something like 'Visionary' or worse three letters, or a generally used term. Help yourself sell games, and please stop calling games one word that's used all the time 1/2

Presenting a whatsapp I just sent a friend without comment.

This was a picture I sent to Suda51 eight years ago. I wanted to send an empty box to editors with a note from Suda-san saying "No more, xxx - Suda51". I still think it would have been awesome

20 showcase games announced using PressEngine so far - around 30 to go...

You'd all rather have more sequels, souls likes and live service hero shooters then? Invest in Final Space on Netflix. Your life will be better for it.

I'm going to find the money and make a FINAL SPACE action RPG. The physical version will come with an actual cookie. Who is with me, BlueSky?

Love this. www.timeextension.com/news/2025/06...

If you plagiarise other people's work, you will lose access to code on PressEngine. It's hard enough for jouranlists to find work and make a living right now. Plagiarism is theft.

Seems Russia loves Warhammer games - top performing territory in all stories on Warhammer stories since yesterday by some distance

CALLING INDIE DEVS! Got a game on Switch or PlayStation that works local multiplayer? I'd love to include your game in our huge Family Gaming Zone at @mcmcomiccon.bsky.social this week. Please share and tag devs! Here's what it looks like: www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9ZG...

Guys, I went outside earlier and between leaving the house and getting in the car for the school run, I felt the sun on my face. Felt like Superman.

Last game of the season. We lost Bradley's Mamma, My wife's mum earlier this month, and this was Bradley's dedication to her. She will always be smiling down at you Bradderz.

I finally did the thing and made a website for my work! I needed to make this site because I'm currently looking for work, but making my portfolio also became a nice way to reflect and celebrate my previous work.♥️ www.ana-diaz.com If you like what you see please get in touch!!

Andor.

Quick reminder that I reviewed Doom: The Dark Ages! Would appreciate if you checked it out on this, the day of its release.

The Game Business Live is a new business event that's part of Summer Game Fest in Los Angeles, featuring Netflix, Wizards of the Coast, AGBO, Circana, Build a Rocket Boy and more. Tickets, including limited free tickets, are available now for industry www.thegamebusiness.com/p/the-game-b...

I once sent these out for Batman Arkham City with clues to unlock. Whichever publication solved it first got world exclusive screens. More fun shit like this.

We solved the five-year mystery of who owns "summergamesfest" dot com aftermath.site/summer-games...

I did not have a break, because life happened. I appreciate all of your patience if you're waiting for me to come back to you. It will happen; it just might not be quick.

I guess the 15 point lead will have to do
