Hi I wrote about the making of classic platformerChuckie Egg and talked to its creator Nigel Alderton. Please give it a read as I want to show there’s an audience for this gaming history stuff 🙏 www.theguardian.com/games/2026/a...

I have eaten too much chocolate

Crimson Desert is the game Dragon’s Dogma 2 should’ve been - a janky disaster that’s somehow way more fun that it has any right to be.

Turns out the answer to "When will I ever use this type of math?" was "Video Games". cc: all teachers

I have a very simple and straightforward two-step plan to Save The Video Game Industry: Step 1: Globally eliminate the concept of a classed society and redistribute all surplus resources among the populace, permanently enshrining social ownership of the means of production. Step 2: Ridge Racer 8.

Desperately looking for anyone in Scotland to foster a 2 year old female cat named Bambi. Incredibly affectionate and friendly. Indoor-only. Whether temporary (a few weeks) or longer term. She's going to be put to sleep otherwise -- due to a heart issue that won't affect her for another 12 months

“Fixed an issue preventing the ! mark from disappearing from the New Items tab of the Items menu.” Nioh 3 is saved!

Doesn't every parent dream of having their kids taught by a machine that will lie to them constantly and even encourage them to kill themselves?

They could offer free writing training, free art lessons, country wide universal basic income, but they choose to offer... shite. "You got shite, you on the front got shite, you on the back got shite. EVERYONE GOT SHITE!"

"Let me be perfectly clear: och aye the noo"

People saying "we crunched together" like it's something to be celebrated is idiotic. Immovable deadlines are sometimes unavoidable in our hit driven industry, but crunch is absolutely avoidable. If a company plans crunch into a project timeline then imo this is planning to abuse their staff.

Hard to believe it’s ten years since we lost Bowie. Absolutely love drawing him. And his music wasn’t too bad either!

One day I won’t get jump-scared when I open the bag containing my wife’s collection of realistic life-size fake human livers while thinking “I wonder what’s in there?” Today is not that day.

Also this post by John is exactly why you leave. because you have impact. Are you mad today? Elon Musk is supporting ICE and blaming the woman murdered. Is that what you agree with? No? Then have an impact today, say no more. Close that account. Don't look away, but calm down, be angry.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Picked up Satisfactory PS5 on a whim and am now completely obsessed

Lol the crazy thing is, no, you’re not running out of good ideas. There are tons of great ideas everywhere. You’re just not willing to fund them because you’re all cowards.

LISTEN, we just announced that SKATE STORY will be on PS Plus on launch day, December 8. 🛹😎🤙

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

I dunno what’s going on exactly but after playing for an hour this seems really, really good youtu.be/zcTAuqglcBo
