HAPPY "THE WHOLE PLOT OF THE ZERO ESCAPE GAMES STARTS TODAY" DAY the one and only that will be watch out for snails

For the weekend crowd. I've started a weekly newsletter about my exciting life and video games. First article is live and is about onions. Please sub lowpolymess.com/i-keep-buyin...

This really captures my childhood, and what it felt like to learn about computers—everything was so captivating and full of potential I could uncover! I would spend hours and hours just trying things and exploring. I loved it. I miss the enthusiastic optimism I felt about tech back in those days :/

If you fancy a Saturday morning read 👇

My best joke of the year, wasted in the podcast discord.

As Pokémon Go pushes an increasing number of passes and tickets, often with exclusive but temporary items, I’ve been thinking about how one purchase continues to stand the test of time - the Go Plus:

🏹🏹🏹 Mythmatch is OUT NOW on Steam! 🏹🏹🏹 AND there's a 20% launch discount! 🐐 Merge the items 💪 Unite the people 🏠 Make a home And it's Steam Deck Verified!! store.steampowered.com/app/1778050/...

Friends fear he's listening to this on loop again

I've just had an amazing idea

Never followed an account so fast

Extremely grim reading

I launched a Kickstarter for Shutter Story but it went under the radar! It's a horror game about revealing and categorizing signs of the paranormal in a family's photographs 📸 Kickstarter link below. RTs, support appreciated 🖤 #indiegame

Lovely to finally take part in the Polygon Exit Interview series on PV Guide!

Attended this last year and would recommend!

This is TODAY! 5PM GMT the chaos returns to PUBG after about 7 years! Be there or be sad you missed it 💪🪖

The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

Johnny, Chris and Ian back together???

Nothing but Ditto on the home page today

Now in the final few hours - there's still time to subscribe at a discount!

AGENT ASHCROFT? WELL HOW THE HELL ARE YOU? UMBRELLA? GOOD IDEA, YOU NEVER KNOW WITH THIS WEATHER.

Like the game itself, Pokopia's first event is pretty chill - you can get most items and all new Pokémon in a single short sitting:

One More Catch - a new independently-run games publication, run single-handedly by veteran @mattreyn.games - has launched, with a launch discount ending today. Supporting quality journalism for £36 a year sounds good to me! (One More Catch sign-up page)

Excellent deal on an excellent new independent media outlet. Get in about it!

This week's newsletter is out! Costumed Ditto and a Community Day for a Gen 8 starter take centre stage in a quieter week. Here's your guide to the week ahead in Pokémon Go:

One More Catch’s 10% off forever launch offer ends tonight! Subscribe to a new publication - run by just a single person (hello!) with no investors, publisher backing, or use of AI - and get perks like bonus articles for just £3.60 a month / £36 a year. It’ll mean a great deal to have your support:

My hairdresser and friend opened her business last week. Tonight it burned to the ground. This is devastating. I’ve set up a fundraiser. If you haven’t done anything for international women’s day yet, here’s a chance to support a women-run business in need: www.paypal.com/pools/c/9nhn...

Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Peach, Daisy, Bowser, DK, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Yoshi, and Koopa Troopa parking only. All others will be Toad.

This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.

smh what are they teaching kids these days? 😕 #re9

Between time travel and visiting friends for early unlocks, there are ways to fast-forward progress in Pokémon Pokopia:

This will be a fun novelty than a realistic catching opportunity, I think, but worth popping on an Incense in Pokémon Go this weekend 👇

Our tiny little website currently has the 4th-placed story on r/all, which is doing all kinds of weird and beautiful things to our monthly traffic (which doesn't normally operate at anywhere near that scale) Amazing work from @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social, as always! aftermath.site/nintendo-tar...

I’m a sucker for unlocking things early, and testing time-sensitive games, so was fun to explore all that in Pokémon Pokopia today:

With GDC only a few days away, I added @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social's brilliant gaming union zine/explainer to archive.org. The previous host for the PDF added a monthly subscription. Please feel free to print and share as you wish!

Good. The report clearly states: -the government must not weaken copyright law, and should instead strengthen licensing, transparency & enforcement - the government should stop prioritising large multinational tech firms 👍

As someone who likes to chip away at Dynamax battles most days for XL Candy, this is a disappointing change!

i love having free will #RE9 #ScoobyDoo

I could only name my Ditto one thing...

Everyone mentioned here deserves better, but shout out to video editor Alix who was the 'invisible' team member of the RPS Video gang. Edited our first six months of the channel, took my rambling notes and turned them into some early wins. Was an exciting, fulfilling time. Hope someone snaps him up.

Sadly my role as Video Producer on Eurogamer's YouTube channel has been made redundant. After 7 years it's a heart-breaking goodbye, but I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be continuing to create the deepest of dives into videogame lore on my own YouTube channel! 🔍 YouTube.com/ZoeDels

You love to see it

Come for the quest steps, stay for the straplines

With all the AI-fuelled Windows 12 news doing the rounds, this is very interesting timing:

Saddened to announce I was affected by the recent Polygon layoffs. Though my time there was short, it was an incredible experience with a truly lovely bunch of people. If you’re looking for a games/entertainment nerd for writing, presenting, PR, or any other opps, hit me up!
