With Reynolds now confirmed, it was really interesting to read reporting from @tom-maher-tm.bsky.social that Carla Ward had helped push this move along to strengthen Reynolds' development for the Ireland team

Promising start to the summer for United

Latest "Dutch is not a serious language" just dropped

@midimyers.com @kirkhamilton.com @jasonschreier.bsky.social Excellent latest episode of Triple Click. I get a lot of my game recommendations from you three so always enjoy when you talk about specific titles but this industry overview and breakdown was super interesting, thanks

Woah why did it take me so long to play Dispatch

Me giving up on arguing that black is white with my 3yo

Back to ignoring football for video games it is ✌️

Fun while it lasted. The Mexico game has probably surpassed 5-1 v Germany as my favourite ever England moment. That was a bad un though

United have found some good young talent from Ireland in the last few years - hopefully this is the next one up!

Feeling old today? You will now… 👴 Today is the day - after 30 seasons - that CM 97/98 saves end. Championship Manager 97/98. ⚽🎮

Tis!

Can't stop thinking about The Roottrees are Dead. Somehow the expansion Roottreemania is even better

HBD Casey

Great move for her and potentially for England too

sorry I'll stop going on about it soon but it is so funny to me that last night I kept having to explain to my brother and his friend that watching England play isn't like watching France play, you're not actually meant to be having a good time, it's not a fun activity at all

Good signing IMO

I've picked up my own replay of Ocarina of Time recently (temple of time felt like a good stopping point) and turns out the guide I had back in 1998 is available on @archive.org! Going to be poring over this later not for the walkthrough but for the memories archive.org/details/Nint...

Mighty Bomb Jack (NES, 1986)

Hell yeah

Finished this earlier, delighted to discover there's an additional case to go through AND a whole new game coming from the same devs in 1 week!!

oh no, oh no, sorry everyone, I love this

Even now there's misinformation floating around, so let me make this clear: Xbox is cutting 3,200 jobs, or 20% of the organization. 1,600 jobs will be eliminated today, and then another 1,600 (including the studio divestments) in the next 12 months. Full story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I honestly think that might be England's best ever win?? Pretty much every possible advantage stacked in favour of the home team and we've somehow pulled it out. That last 50 mins or so with ten men was some or the most heroic stuff I've ever seen on a football pitch

Am almost certainly going to regret watching the England game in the pub but hey, you're only young once. Unfortunately I am no longer young

At a birthday party in the park, my 6yo the only girl who wants to play football. Boys on her team complaining about having to be the only team with a girl. Kicks off and she immediately drills one into the bottom corner

Jairo Resignedewald ah forget it

Clive Barker introducing a character called "Gazza" in the third part of a series I was otherwise hugely enjoying! Even worse that he was a love interest for the otherwise cool main character

The Roottrees Are Dead is SO good. What an incredible puzzle game, annoyed at myself for not getting it sooner

The Dutch are spending their whole per diem at Dan Flashes

after 3 weeks of observation I have decided my favorite World Cup lineup gesture is 🤷🤷🤷🤷 everybody else is like 😡 or 😤 or 😐 and he's like ..... ok so I guess I'm playing in the World Cup????

Remember the internet before Google, before algorithmic feeds, before monolithic social media corralled us onto the same handful of apps? When small, *personal websites* and webrings linking them together reigned supreme? Time to bring it back.

A day late, but ton up for Mel Brooks! 🫡 💯

Universal booing of the world cup call-them-ad-breaks-not-hydration-breaks are really restoring my faith in humanity. We can beat this

Mad game of cricket at Chesterfield this afternoon as Yorkshire somehow drag themselves out of a hole to chase down 215 and tie with Derbyshire. Hit the penultimate ball for six but just a single off the final delivery

you already know what's up (steam sale rec thread is what's up) as always, i focus primarily on older, obscure, and just plain weirder games, as big name titles don't need the help. with that said, onwards!

Good read IMO www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Pass this on. You never know who might need it and it could make a huge difference if someone is struggling for whatever reason

Rage against the hydration break www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Literally everything on my wishlist is discounted on the Steam Summer Sale 😳

Over the last 6 months I’ve shared hundreds of #SUFC photos, programmes and memories ⚔️ If you’ve enjoyed walking down memory lane, give us a follow to get access to even more 🔴⚪️ Cheers for the support and hope you’re keeping cool during this UK heatwave 😎 #bskyblades

Two more days, friends (Saturday's temperature is also bullshit, but at least sub-30)

Oh no, I have to leave the house

Yes please

Part Two of our South Africa 2010 podcast has landed. Includes a discussion on this moment where the BBC pundits convinced themselves England would stroll past Germany. Watching it back now, it's absolutely wild that they were literally writing off the Germans. Links below

New WOMEN OF STEEL newsletter out this morning, looking closely at United's retained list as Abbie Lafayette joins Forest: womenofsteel.substack.com/p/breaking-d...
