Having seen what it does to an image and the quality of character models, lighting, and the overall tone of a scene, I'm never using DLSS 5. It actively makes things look worse for more power. What a waste of money and RAM (for data centres). #NvidiaDLSS5

In addition to contemporary games, I have been into retro games for a long time, building a Gameboy/GBC/GBA collection for a few years. If you need a buyer's guide for retro games in 2026, or how to maintain your collection, I have some ideas that might be worth publishing.

Hey all, I realize that budgets are tight, but if you are a Guides Editor in need of a freelancer with years of experience, including Evergreen lists, some Roblox stuff, and other games that have been out for a while, please DM me as I'm always looking for work.

So early theory on where #Pokemon #Pokopia takes place: we're in a trainer's PC.

Devastated to hear that all these talented people are no longer working for Eurogamer. I had the pleasure of working with at least one of them directly and meeting the vast majority of the names on this list. I sincerely hope that they bounce back & find success in the near future.

Did any of my mutuals on #PokemonGo get a spare Hawlucha? I got very unlucky with 10km eggs...

PSA: Anyone who has the new Steam version of #FinalFantasyVII classic, hold off playing it until it's patched. Battles run at 30fps, but this speeds up the battles too, and they're a little too fast right now. (Do appreciate that the port fixes the button issue I had with the 2013 version)

The discourse surrounding Pokémon Fire Red/Leaf Green's pricing is fascinating. On one hand, buying the legitimate GBA version will set you back at least £200 if you want everything in box, so £16.99 is a steal. However, these are probably the most pirated GBA games ever... [1/2]

Many thanks to @jellesmarbleruns.bsky.social for the Impact Marble Racing set! Looking forward to cracking it open and holding my own marble racing tournaments soon! #JellesMarbleRuns #TeamGalactic

If what I've just read is 100% true, we actually have the Boomer equivalent of demanding a participation prize...

Based on what Farazz said in last night's #TheTraitors, I have a theory that there is an entire family in the castle this year. We know about Mum and Daughter pair Judy and Roxy, but it's entirely possible that Maz is her husband and Farazz is their 2nd child.

Sooo, Farigiraf soon? #pokemongo

Happy New Year everyone! I'd like to start 2026 by complimenting Square Enix on offering a demo for Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined. This game had a notoriously has a stupidly long intro, sometimes taking at least an hour in the original PS1 release... 1/2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=GL2-...

Everything you need to know about final fantasy you can learn from the Simpsons

After many moons since I said I would start it, I finally finished Final Fantasy IX. It's not that I didn't have a good time with it; actually, the total opposite! There were just so many changes in my life that I couldn't find the time to spare.

As cool as the Steam devices announcements are, we need to put things into perspective. Steam Deck was pricey, but a companion product to a PC. If Valve price the Steam Machine competitively, then it has a chance. If they overcharge, it's a harder sell for more casual audiences.

I want to run an experiment. Can you solve this #DnD puzzle I faced last night? There is a statue facing a locked door. It's holding a heater shield with the words "The dawning sun Burns away the hoary Frost, coaxing Life back into the dead land" inscribed on it. Scorch marks are on the shield.

Can we all appreciate just how hard this remix of a somewhat forgotten Castlevania game goes? It's so good! #vampiresurvivors youtu.be/nK7FTNdyoT4

It's another year without a faithful PC port of Symphony of the Night (plz not the PSP version if you do Konami!), but this more than makes up for it! #vampiresurvivors youtu.be/KW3ZFbMPD2I

How am I discovering just now that Dragon's Dogma originally had this banger of a title screen music?! I played Dark Arisen and it wasn't there... www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZNb...

Seeing the news of #Pokemon doing a thing with the UK Natural History Museum immediately made me think if the reason these four Pokémon exist. secretldn.com/pokemon-natu...

Genuine question for the Brits of BSky: how do you eat #Weetabix?

imagine getting qt dunked by ed davey. unrecoverable. you’re furious and he is serenely going down a log flume in bognor regis.

Isn't Mega Malalar basically just the aliens from Mars Attacks!?

I'm half expecting Daniel Mullins to drop #ponyisland2 without warning. Maybe through another fourth-wall-breaking game where someone must complete it before it unlocks the main game for everyone on Steam? That would be a hoot.

So who else in the UK got that alert 1 minute late?

So Silksong's out.

I see what you did there! #pokemon #streetfighter

"But you liked me yesterday"

Just went past a man with a bucket and some soap washing the red cross some berk had painted on a road traffic sign (yes, not just mini roundabouts here). A true hero.

After several years of the feature being released, I finally found a wild Mesprit. #pokemongo

The final statement by Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif, written months ago in anticipation of his likely death, posted on Twitter/X by a friend. Israel assassinated him tonight along with his reporting team in an airstrike in Gaza.

Important new byline alert: I have finally debuted for the outlet that originally inspired me to become a games journalist. Yes, it's three Roblox guides, but this is my route in and I'm very happy to start writing for @gamespot.com in any way I can! www.gamespot.com/articles/is-...

Definitely conflicted today after the news about Hulk Hogan. He was an undeniably awful human, both behind the scenes in the 80s and 90s, and in real life as a Trump Supporting racist. Wrestling owes him a lot, that's undeniable, but I'll always think Randy Savage was the best of that era.

We're not getting Mega Flygon, are we?

Of all the games this year I'm looking forward to, #MinatheHollower from @yachtclubgames.bsky.social is pretty much my jam. Really enjoyed the demo and hoping there's tons of secrets to uncover! store.steampowered.com/app/1875580/...

I beg to differ. He knows EXACTLY what's going on and the poor bugger's traumatized by it.

Whatever happened to awesome ads like the MoneySupermarket ones, where Skeletor and He-Man danced to I've Had The Time of My Life in a dive bar? (Also Skeletor jiving in a street to I'm Gonna Live Forever is epic). youtu.be/-PgTjhx1VLw?...

The jokes just write themselves!

Brennan's announcement

With the upcoming #PokemonDirect for #PokemonLegendsZA where we'll hopefully finally hear more about new Pokemon, I have been thinking about regional variants. The concept I've come up with is Kalosian Salandit and its new male-only evolution: Aquirate. [1/4]

#BookSky Definitely worth reading…..

So umm... this happened. #pokemontcgpocket

Same thing for the Dot Esports one. As one of the affected freelancers, would love to know who to contact regarding Dot Esports freelancing to see if they still want me or anyone else from their freelancing days.

Does anyone else get this issue where a monitor displays one line of pixels from the middle on the far right side of the screen? I know how to temporarily fix it, but don't know how to permanently stop it.

I've never found myself agreeing so hard with an article before, but this so accurately reflects my own thoughts regarding Clair Obscur. (Only with rural British village Covid experiences as opposed to New York ones).

As much as I like the idea of this, Wizards of the Coast needs to make them Print to Demand Secret Lairs, otherwise nobody's getting them other than scalpers. #sonicthehedgehog #magicthegathering
