Reader, I had a great time

On my way into that London and looking forward to catching up with many friends 😉🎵

I have a very busy day, but at least 15% of my brain will not stop thinking about getting on with this map. Turns out making games is 𝖺̶𝖽̶𝖽̶𝗂̶𝖼̶... very compelling.

Not posted it in a while, here's a reminder about the UK Games Composers directory and some of the cool things you can do with it 🤩 From famous names to new kids on the block 👀 Contact deets 🎮 Socials 🎵 Portfolio / music links Go find and follow your favourite game composers! gamescomposers.co.uk

I am supposed to have left the house 30 minutes ago but unfortunately I also accidentally installed Ultimate Doom Builder today

Pretty sure we can all agree that acquiring Social Media should be -3 era score, even if you achieved it by 1716 AD.

Last night's DOOM endeavours.

Very happy to be working on @gamemusicpl.bsky.social's mighty Game Music Festival, happening in London in June. So what better than to have a suitably heroic lunch with one of their finest records! 🎵🎮💖

Distracted by DOOMing again. This one's done!

Great to see Chris Bryant MP speaking at Pocket Gamer Connects

Kicking off my hosting duties at #PGConnects Beyond Games: Transmedia Summit, introducing Josh Chapman from Konvoy speaking about the expansion of games tech into the wider economy.

Frankie Goes To Hollywood II

The Ukie office, circa several years ago

V..e..r..y.. s..l..o..w..l..y... on my way to #PGConnects, via the very British misery of several cancelled trains, with a very appropriate festive coffee that is also running several weeks late

Back on the DOOM editor again 🤘

Remember, pals: Friday night is an ideal time to play that DOOM map you like the look of.

I've got the FF7 OG soundtrack on and sliding into Twin Midgar

For all you DOOM nerds out there, here's my new map! Created on the sofa over xmas with a mince pie and glass of port. A horrible little box of mayhem! SMALL TIME PROBLEM (a 640x640 map) www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/...

I may have accidentally Civ 6

Fixed a broken pot. Glued my fingers together. I hate superglue.

Still praying to Romero that the doomworld gods let me back in to post this slice of fried techbase pain

Having a Japanese Lunch

Had that thing today where I picked a game I didn't know much about, loaded it up and immediately went "Oh damn, this is cool" ✨ ANNO: Mutationem ✨

An old pal just sent me one of those AI "what if" cover songs of the Pumpkins, for which the youtube vid image has gender-flipped James Iha and Darcy Wretzky for some reason. 🤦‍♂️

Feeling very Innocent this afternoon.

A great big 👋 welcome 👋 to muti-talented actor/composer @jameslmolloy.com and 👍👍 to a chonky profile update from the king of smooth grooves @barrytopping.com

Currently rewatching Twin Peaks and keep getting lulled back into a weird Final Fantasy 7 limbo by the music, which is basically the same in both.

Yes bruh

*Praying to the Lord Romero himself that I can remember my Doomworld login so I can post my map*

Every time I go on LinkedIn I get ads about "what age can you retire" or "can you retire on £500k" with pictures of yachts, villas and jets.

@linguica.bsky.social Hey. Sorry to ask on here, but it seems Doomworld's pswd reset isn't working/emailing - can't find a way to flag it to admins without logging in :/

Trying to remember my password for an ancient forum login that the reset isn't working for

Mass of the Fermenting Dregs @motfd-official.bsky.social ✨ 10/10 best gig of 2025 ✨

This looks cool 🤩🛻🗑️

Not sure I had Matthew McConaughey writing poems about Candy Crush on my list of things that were likely to happen

Appropriate t-shirt choice for this evening.

Christmas is the time to return to old traditions. Specifically traditions that take place in a 640x640 unit map space. #willIeverfinishthis #whoknows

Nice to see @matombler.bsky.social's composer roundup becoming an annual staple. Lots of great recommendations from lovely people! *I can't believe I haven't listened to / played Earthion yet 🙃

A real gem 💎

This is cool. I had no idea there was once a shareware industry awards. I guess it makes sense there would have been.

👏👏👏

If you work in the UK games industry in any capacity at all, then PLEASE fill in this year's workforce census. I led both previous editions of this work from the industry side and cannot express just how important and powerful this data is.

It's a cold day, so having a suitably frosty lunchtime with Piotr Musial's arctic Frostpunk score 🥶🎮🎵

Playing Shadowrun Dragonfall is really making me want to go back to Night City 🦞🩸💀

Always fun to read a big list and remind myself of a whole pile of "must plays" that remain on my ever-growing to-do list. Bit wild that Civ doesn't feature on here though 👀
