After four incredible years, today is my last day at Eurogamer. It has been an absolute joy and privilege to be even a small part of such an incredible team for so long. However, I have decided it is time for something new.

Nintendo Life’s Star Fox review by @jimnormann.bsky.social: “This is Fox's best game made even better, with a stunning visual overhaul, snappy controls, and some neat reasons to keep playing”

Maybe reading too much in to this but - no explicit PS5 Pro mention?

Maybe GTA VI's PC version will come on a disc

Not even a disc in the box to trigger a download - it's just a code. Next generation of consoles to be digital only at this rate, surely?

england haven't won a game since starmer resigned. bring him back

now wait just a second

Anybody here play Grounded with their kids? Have a q I want to ask. DM and/or [email protected] is fine

We regret that our event on Extreme Heat: Improving governance and strengthening action around the world has been cancelled due to the red extreme heat warning issued by the UK Met Office. Our apologies to everyone who was planning to attend the event.

“The world of videogaming has just changed forever.” Super Mario 64 released in Japan on June 23rd, 1996. 30 YEARS AGO TODAY! It was the first game to receive a 10 from Edge, almost three years after the magazine’s first issue.

We had Mark Drakeford on in the latest pod to talk through everything going on with Andy Burnham and Keir Starmer as well as what it means for Wales. www.youtube.com/watch?v=u46r...

Tragically woke up thinking about the Steam Machine. Looking forward to not getting hold of one until 2027.

WHAT

Another excellent Steam hardware review from Aftermath, this:

It's rained here! Has it made any difference to the temperature? Absolutely not!

Oh, weird, what happened ten years ago?

"The company’s modus operandi appears to be to buy reputable websites, replace reporters with AI to cut costs and fill the sites with lucrative casino and betting content. Press Gazette understands it may have done this to hundreds of websites."

The Sky News helicopter is currently following Andy Burnham's train all the way down to London. Unclear what exactly they expect to happen en route

Hello news writers - I have news of the gaming book kind. Anyone keen to cover something for later this week, do get in touch.

Hahaha excellent stuff

A lot of people don't realise this but in the UK we have to replace our Prime Minister every two or three years or else the rights revert back to Marvel

What are your highlights? I will never forget racist riots taking place where they were trying to burn people alive and he took about 8 business days to call them racist and sent Yvette Cooper out to talk about how much she loves England flags and has them in bunting form

Starmer saying the next PM will inherit a country that is 'fairer' than the one he inherited 2 years ago. In the one Starmer inherited, trans people could use public toilets.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

I do write about stuff that isn't Xbox. I think. Sometimes. Here's one on new chief of strategy Matthew Ball, whose early strategic moves seem to be, erm, well. Dunno. (also you can still get 55% off a paid sub to celebrate Hit Points' fifth birthday) newsletter.hitpoints.co/382-ball-poi...

In accordance with ancient tradition, our next Prime Minister is announced to the nation while standing between a furry and a man with a bin on his head.

I’m focused on researching (mostly) niche and/or not publicly known cancelled games right now. I know hardly anyone will watch them because they’re not connected to known franchises but I just want to make Game History Secrets videos on whatever I find interesting.

Penske Media Corporation (PMC) — the parent company of Rolling Stone and other publications like Billboard, Variety, and The Hollywood Reporter — has acquired Vox Media, home of Eater, The Verge, Vox Studios, and more. Details ↓

LONG overdue, but it's a start.

I didn't quite gel with this year's Pokémon Go Fest park session, but I hope the trend of pushing festivities to the wider city continues:
