Did a fun thing with Ben, one of my fave ppl in games media, at The Wand Report - we decided on a letter series format (very much inspired by the letter series I've done with the rest of the @rascal.news gang) - and talk about our feelings on Zero Parade

Had the opportunity to do something cool for my Zero Parades review: collaborate with my favourite critic and good friend @crapstacular.bsky.social! You can read our conversation in Portofiro on The Wand Report report.wand.com/reviews/zero...

Horrifying. 😥 "War has always been deadly to children, but now a new concern has arisen in Gaza, where they seem to be vanishing without explanation. Parents believe that they are being abducted, but no-one knows what becomes of them."

saw kneecap last night at a tiny venue in liverpool. incredible gig, and I respect them so much for taking so much time out their set to talk about palestine, hold the government to account, and chant "Maggie's in the mud"

Here it is, over 4K words on what happened after the headline grabbing “$54 million in NFT sales” for Peter Molyneux’s game Legacy. Many players lost thousands chasing a “play to earn” hype train that evaporated almost immediately when the game launched. arstechnica.com/gaming/2026/...

This is why it's important authors read a lot, Murakami has no idea this has been done already

This video reached 1.1 million views in a week! Which is pretty neat if you ask me. Do you know what else is neat, too? The fact that I'm still open to work, and totally available to write for your site or channel!

You can find the campaign at launchgood.com/1948 where Rasheed will have to figure out how to promote a Palestinian-made game about Palestinian history, all while his people face genocide and apartheid. Palestinians are not even allowed to ask the world if it wants to hear their story.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

You can also find me stretching my critical muscles over at The Wand Report these days. Two very different reviews for my first pair: a slow meditation on memory and friendship in Opus: Prism Peak, and some impressions from the first week-or-so of Windrush

call me For You because it's another Print(s) debut this week shoutout to @wyrdscience.bsky.social for being rad and commissioning three pieces for this issue, including this feature on Kamping Kitbash and reviews of Trench Crusade and the Discworld TTRPG support independent media ✊

fella in the hipster coffee shop called it an exspresso so guess I'm never coming here again

Figuring out the best viewing order for the Lord of the Rings with the new films: Unexpected Journey Desolation of Smaug Battle of the Five Armies Fellowship of the Ring (pause at 32:08 when Gandalf leaves the Shire) Hunt for Gollum Finish Fellowship Two Towers Return of the King Shadow of the Past

one of my 2026 resolutions was to write for edge received my debut issue today

obviously an instant back from me

Won a painting competition with this fella this weekend. Converted from a garden ornament with brass rod legs, plastic components, sculpted additions, kitchen roll for cloth, mod podge gore.

this was so much fun to write and one of my favourite events I've ever been to can't wait to see it in the flesh. I assume these things are printed on flesh, right?

I've wished for Arab-made games about Arab mythology for so long, and despite assisting on the project I still can't believe there's one swinging for the fences this hard. House of Hikmah is something very needed in a time where the world would rather erase us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZTu...

what if we put issue 8 of Wyrd Science on sale? What if this got more likes & shares than our stupid jokes? featuring Dolmenwood, Blades In The Dark, Doomsong, Kamping Kitbash, Lee Gold, The Old King's Crown, weird fiction, aggro comics, dungeon synth & lots more shop.wyrd.science/products/wyr...

I'm pretty sure my interviewee didn't say this, but now it's all I can hear in the recording

I'm in this. Three times. Some of my favourite words in a while. Words like "whimsy" and "boots"

wearing the same fit as my profile picture today

finally got paid a big invoice and very nearly bought a switch 2 off the back of the zelda rumours. I resisted. it's weird missing a generation of pokemon games for the first time since being a kid, but it's nearly 400 quid man. that's so much money need someone to tell me legends z-a is shite pls

JKR is using part of her vast fortune to fund legal cases for women who don’t wish to share space with trans women. There are thousands of other causes that better protect women which that money could be used for. If you consume Harry Potter produce, you are helping to fund transphobia.

unbelievably funny headline

oh yeah baby

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️

GDC's 2026 IGF winner calls out U.S. cruelty at home and abroad

somehow used my connections (a pal who works for legoland) to bag the only good pokemon lego set without having to buy the 600 squid charizard monstrosity

🚀 NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT!🚀 We're absolutely over the bloody moon to be making the Children of Time RPG! Mina, Grant and Elaine have been sequestered away with author Adrian Tchaikovsky, building a new Ark to take you to the far reaches of space. But what (or who) is waiting for you out there?

oh this is the perfect intersection of my interests right here

My new hobby is picking up old picture frames from charity shops to put the art I'm collecting in. I've got so many lovely pictures from tattoo artists/conventions that deserve better than a generic Max Spielman frame. Pictures by: Darryn Daggers, me, Jack Newton.

It's here! This has been an utter joy to work on for Dragon Age 2's 15th anniversary. Huge thank you to David Gaider for taking me through how he and all of the writers managed to get this fan favourite story finished, with no time for redrafts www.thegamer.com/dragon-age-2...

setting up a crowdfunder rn

some of these were easy choices, some more difficult. bound to think of a no-brainer in three seconds. two. one...

It will always be Hamlet but I love Titus Andronicus for the sheer bloodlust and have always had a soft spot for Julius Caesar since seeing a great production of it at the RSC c2012

he's done it again folks, he's got a 10,000 word transcript for an 800 word feature

Öoo is fantastic and perfect for the Switch! On an unrelated note, if someone could buy me a Switch 2, that would be boss ta

I'm at warhammer world this weekend, mostly because my little guy is featured in their mass-participation battle (cool!) but I've been sidetracked by their range of warhammer-themed pints who's going to commission me to taste test every one on the menu?

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

daughter's nursery has just set this up 🙃🙃🙃

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world." #AIslop #refuseresist

The Wind Waker Majora's Mask Link to the Past pains me not to put Breath of the Wild there but what would I replace? tough one

was looking into curling classes and wondered how many people were thinking the same thing. yep.
