π¨ It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

And finally (because I'm waffling), I'm open to full time and freelance opportunities in video/editorial/community/pr and also I am now able to produce sponsored content for youtube.com/platform32 so if you're looking, come say hi! Big love to you all and thanks for the wonderful memories <3
I shall continue posting about cool videogames until morale improves. Both yours and mine.
Because god DAMN the world is a nightmare right now in so many hideously tangible ways.
But - and this bears repeating - videogames are the best they've ever been. Even if the industry making them is broken.
"In order to get elected BarackObama will start a war with Iran" - Trump, Nov 29, 2011 "BarackObama will attack Iran to get re-elected." - Trump, Jan 17, 2012 "Now that Obama's poll numbers are in tailspin - watch for him to launch a strike on Libya or Iran. He is desperate." - Trump, Oct 9, 2012 "I predict that President Obama will at some point start a war with Iran in order to save face!" - Trump, Sept 16, 2013 "Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly - not skilled!" - Trump, Nov 11, 2013

Well then. After 9 years my role of Editorial Director at Eurogamer/IGNE has been made redundant. If youβre reading this and feel I have a lot of valuable experience (I do), Iβm keen to explore any opportunities (full time, consulting, other) in the games industry. I am great.
Grid-based tactics and deckbuilders are very much Not My Thing, but Death Howl's alchemic combination of the two enthrals me in ways I don't fully understand. Every facet - art, soundtrack, story, atmosphere, structure - is so well-considered. Gah. So good.

For no reason, here's what Yoshi sounds like eating an enemy in Mario is Missing on PC.
Bumped it a couple times yesterday, but it bears repeating: If you have ANY interest in FPS games at all, this bundle is $17 of the best dollars you could EVER spend.
6.5 games (I recommend ticking the box to add Cultic Part 2 to the mix) that I have only praise for. And Selaco's only half done!
This game has the best publisher

There's too many fucking people in the Epstein files. Need Yakko Warner to sing a song about it to help me get caught up

Every year another Doom birthday rolls by and reminds me of the same thing:
I never actually launched the project I started five years ago with @textfiles.com
Today, I finally fix that.

Utterly bizarre that I'm watching GDT's Frankenstein and was trying to remember the name of "that polar bear thing from the Terror" after the opening, then opened Bluesky and immediately saw this. (Also, amazing work.)
tetsuya mizuguchi truly, earnestly believes, with his whole heart and whole mind, that generic vocal trance from 2003 has the power to awaken humanity's shared consciousness and guide us to universal peace. The strength of his conviction is so powerful that it might actually cause this to be true
In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.

The cover of Aliens: The Video Games. It's released mid 2026. Pre orders will be up soon.
As it's now spooky season, a reminder that I have a book all about spooky games coming out next year.
Every Alien game in detail, with two dozen new interviews conducted to complement the research (and (re)playing).
