Bungie saying Marathon is going to be different in a few years has me thinking they've already planned the name change to Snickers.

gotta admit here, I thought *everyone* knew…

Erm. Has nobody told them?

Thought Abnett did a great job of capturing the spirit of the film in this. I would have been down for more.

Silly Corgan, more like.

New bit of scribbling for the lovely folks at Sega Mania. Don't ever ask me to draw something from Virtual On again 😜

Maybe it just took us all 11 years to find out what Microsoft meant when they said Windows 10 was the last version of windows.

📖 THE GAME NARRATIVE KALEIDOSCOPE ❄️ is out NOW! www.inklestudios.com/kaleidoscope 100+ essays on writing & narrative design, with articles from the writers of Baldur's Gate 3, Control, Call of Duty, Prince of Persia, Tomb Raider, Sam and Max... ALSO the Kaleidoscope Podcast with 2 full eps!

Few people really grasping that regardless of the reality, it’s always funnier to blame Geoff Keighley for a game going awry.

fucking hell, if they gave me an insignificant fraction of the budget of Highguard I could make them a game that would last more than six weeks on the market. folks taking these absurd gambles on people’s lives and careers need a kick in the dick.

Cookie's Bustle: Mysterious Bombo World (Rodik, Mac/Windows, 1999)

Yeah, weirdly I don't think UKIE should be offering an automated spurious takedown machine to any random chump with a credit card

UKIE really not coming out of that looking good in the slightest, eh.

don't think of it as 'getting ratioed', think of it as providing the soil for better posts to grow from

As my nan used to say, everybody should put DRM on every device they own. Their lives will be better for it.

@fishwithlasers.bsky.social Took a wee bit of fiddling to get my Steam copy to work, but: YASSSSSSSS

Taking the word “slop” away from people until they learn to behave.

cara kicks ass, crazy i get to work with such people

Sorry. I know it’s not supposed to make sense to anyone outside the inner circle of the Labour government even though they’re convinced it does but I’m not convinced building fascist infrastructure on a slightly smaller scale is how you stop fascist infrastructure being built on a larger scale.

when I was younger, we had a pop at running an industrial dj night at the local and being into Ministry at the time we went with calling it Faith Collapsing Night. Which by the time it made it to the local paper, the faith got lost somewhere and they advertised Collapsing Night at the local pub.

You know what, I'm not even mad Bottom Games: We make Top games, you can bet your bottom dollar!

I really wish I could convey to some people just how off putting it is to see their game use genAI nonsense and how there’s another five gazillion games right next to theirs that does not and I am always, always, always, going to choose the latter.

I think I’m going to get a lot of mileage out of people trying to describe what Titanium Court is to other people: www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/ca...

After making Ghost Town with @fireproofgames.com @karriebear.bsky.social contacted me to interview me about my strange career. I go into the ups and downs of designing stories for games via her expert questions here m.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb9P...

but Scary Movie was a shit idea first time round?

I love the rubbish drawings of the space criminals on the cover art for this - the guy bottom left looks more like a tetchy uncle

What is it about extended LLM use that compels people to post absolute horseshit

My love for Target Books was so strong in 1982 that I attempted to re-draw all of their Doctor Who covers. I managed four of them. They're all here.. hauntedgeneration.co.uk/2020/11/17/f...

Cara also made a Very Good Point about how poorly served writers and narrative designers are by videogame design tools.

Get off my tower, twerp!!!

jack nicholson as tom bombadil

The “no good posts with ‘on the left‘ in” rule chalks another disaster post up.

doormats that go hard

Let's play Gumby Episode or Kenneth Anger Film.

Ooh. Tupperware.

[at my first rodeo] oh, fuck

the author of these books, the Rev William Buckland, was the guy who set out to eat one of every animal species, a classic British old timey weirdo

Ok. It’s clearly a no respite from opinions day. Sorry. They happen sometimes. I have been screaming this for over a decade now so yes, yes, yes. From here: www.readergrev.com/p/marathon-n...

oh okay, one last one. pissing myself laughing at how many words this is to say “but man can’t press button to make thing move???” like it’s 2008 all over again. amazing work. mubi.com/en/notebook/...

I’ve had my pills now. That’s enough opinions for the day.

I go long periods of time forgetting about the C16 version of Ghosts n Goblins so it’s always nice to get a reminder that it exists.

talking of link round ups, there’s one week during RPS’ Sunday Papers rotation that drives me spare because it’s just a load of sprawling nonsense with links buried in it and I cannot be fucked with that bullshit, put it on your creative writing blog, it’s terrible. (Not this week)

Epic’s long running confusion that if they just get more people stashing free games each week they’ll somehow be able to turn that into a successful store, treating a store as a free to play game in many aspects, is certainly A Choice.

never ask a man his age, a woman her salary or a game developer how many sales they have made on the epic games store versus other platforms
