This kid needs to be told to fuck off more often, and put in a corner on time out.

I just want one reporter to say, "Mr. President, why do keep lying? What is the point of creating all of this chaos beyond making yourself more money? Money that you won't need in the coming years because you're old? Why do this when it just makes most of the world despise you?"

This kind of rhetoric is deeply disturbing.

In America, no leader is β€œanointed.” Our service members swear an oath to the Constitutionβ€”not to a person, a party, or a β€œprophecy”.

I was fine with the ending. Because I chose CORRECTLY. :D

Seriously, I don't get people. It was fine. People get far too precious about these things.

They just make shit up all the time, so it probably is now. Just like DOGE was a joke agency until it was dismantling public institutions for the lulz.

Hello everyone. I come with the sad news that as you are no doubt already aware, we're saying goodbye to several of our friends and colleagues here at Eurogamer. Leaving us are Tom Orry, our editorial director; our video team of Ian Higton, Zoe Delahunty-Light, and Alix Attenborough; Alex Donaldson, our editor-at-large; and Will Judd, who worked across Digital Foundry, hardware and deals.

I'll start with Tom, who over the past year-plus had made himself a hugely valuable source of advice, expertise, desert-dry humour and world class poker faces (I think we just about made him laugh once, for a moment, on his final day). 

Tom initially began the role when Tom Phillips was our editor-in-chief here, mostly working away diligently in the background in a two-Tom-tandem doing editorial director things, before taking on a more prominent role on the site itself over the past 11 or 12 months, gracing us with some signature console nostalgia and unjustifiably intense Project Gotham Racing enthusiasm. Tom, Dom, Alex and I, along with the rest of the team, worked together closely on what a 'new Eurogamer' might look like last year, and his experience in running multiple games media sites was consistently our rock to lean on. 

While he may have initially seemed an outsider of sorts compared to Eurogamer chiefs of old - at least to some on the surface, coming from his 20-plus years across our sister sites VG247 and USGamer, and before that the cult-favourite site he founded in our once-rival VideoGamer - I can't stress enough how much Tom 'got' Eurogamer. His goal was for us to be at the heart of the big stories that mattered most to our readers with original, diligent reporting and on-the-button commentary, and that will absolutely continue.

In immaculately on-brand, limelight-dodging Orry style, Tom opted to sneak his farewell into this past weekend's What We've Been Playing column, but I'll be damned if he gets away with it that easily. Sorry Tom. Here's what he had to say…

I think that's where I always get tripped up - that's fantastic they do those things, but it's like, can't you do those things WITHOUT also reinforcing the idea of an almighty being/entity directing and dictating people's lives? I'm all in favor of the socially GOOD aspects, but so many downsides.

I'm very happy with my CachyOS and Fedora installs here at home, but as someone who's still had to support plenty of Windows systems - I could be OK with some of that if the modularity means I can gut an install easily and remove most of the unwanted bits. Hopefully the "microslop" wakes them up.

LOL came here to post, "Looks like an ad for CachyOS!"

Very glad I made the move a few months ago. Windows is now just a fallback in a container when I absolutely have to use it (thank Winboat!)

Keep Android Open Advocating for Android as a free, open platform for everyone to build apps on.

Please, PLEASE, be loud about this topic, Android being open is what makes it useful, you own your phone and you should be able to install apps from wherever you wish to, don't let Google tell you what's allowed on the device you payed for!

If you haven't heard of it, Star Citizen is its spiritual successor. Kickstarter in 2012, raised something like $1 billion since, and the single player "Squadron 42" game SHOULD be out finally 2026/2027! "Star Citizen" proper is a live service massive virtual world in perpetual alpha-beta. Crazy. πŸ™ƒ

I am happy to hear at least that some troops are speaking up against it. Stupid wars are bad enough. Religious wars are even worse.

How do you launch a game as a service without a post launch run scheduled and budgeted? This keeps happening to an extent that I assume it’s part of the (stupid) plan.

Gonna open a restaurant, but if it’s not profitable by 7:30pm on day one, I’m gonna burn it down and blame the chef.

President Trump was right in 2020:

"We've spent $8 trillion in the Middle East and we're not fixing our roads in this country? How stupid. How stupid is it? And we're not fixing our tunnels, our bridges, our hospitals, our schools? It's crazy."

@markjacob.bsky.social on the role media plays in not just telling the story but explaining it, too.

"The rule of law needs to be explained to the public. People don’t have the Constitution memorized. Journalists need to explain that the Trump regime is repeatedly violating the law."
