With GDC only a few days away, I added @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social's brilliant gaming union zine/explainer to archive.org. The previous host for the PDF added a monthly subscription.

Good. The report clearly states:
-the government must not weaken copyright law, and should instead strengthen licensing, transparency & enforcement

A dialogue box from Pokémon Pokopia with the text: "Odo... It seems you might have some sort of mysterious power."
I could only name my Ditto one thing...
It’s brutal, especially this early on! There is obviously more combat throughout the game but nothing as rough as that patch.
If useful, I found Volt Forge to be the hardest area, specifically that combat-filled tower. Eases off a bit from there!
Worked with Alix a bunch during EG's on-site video push and he's superb.
Everyone mentioned here deserves better, but shout out to video editor Alix who was the 'invisible' team member of the RPS Video gang. Edited our first six months of the channel, took my rambling notes and turned them into some early wins. Was an exciting, fulfilling time. Hope someone snaps him up.
I'm so sorry to hear this Zoe 😔
Sadly my role as Video Producer on Eurogamer's YouTube channel has been made redundant. After 7 years it's a heart-breaking goodbye, but I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be continuing to create the deepest of dives into videogame lore on my own YouTube channel! 🔍

With all the AI-fuelled Windows 12 news doing the rounds, this is very interesting timing:
Saddened to announce I was affected by the recent Polygon layoffs. Though my time there was short, it was an incredible experience with a truly lovely bunch of people.

Favourite returning feature - at some in-person Go Fests, you can pay an extra $100 for a lounge with, among other things, "upgraded restrooms"
Capcom has basically owned January / February for close to a decade
New story up on what happened to Ocean Software's Lobo fighting game, with a bunch of never-before-seen renders made for the game.
Something I'm surprised wasn't in Friday's Pokémon Presents - there's a free Mewtwo available in Pokémon Go this week.
(Useful for new and lapsed players, and a reminder you can transfer this to Pokémon Home, and in theory, Pokémon Champions eventually!)
Just… bring back cheats

Oh man, @ripefly.bsky.social's maps remain the best in the business: www.rogue.site/guides/resid...
Yup - I'm guessing they thought 'everything is returning!' was a bigger pull than 'Legendaries can spawn in the wild', when the latter is all everyone is taking about

I'm writing a story about the VR industry in 2026, and I'm looking to speak with people at GDC who've been in it over the past decade and can speak to where it was and what it's like now. If that's you, DM me here!
