baby steps rules

thrilled that mr. foddy and his colleagues who created that game probably saw my posts saying things like how they should be arrested for making that game

oh my god what an honor

every sentence of this is the correct take, thank you.

wow this is....brilliant

got new glasses today and like, you know how when you get new glasses and for a few days when you see yourself in the mirror, your face doesn't look quite right, until you adjust to the sight of yourself in them? not so with these. I have found them. the perfect glasses for me. Reb glasses.

the casual little stroll walk away he does....

You inspired me to bust mine out hehe

Oh man you're gonna love it!!!!!

I love Pokopia so much

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…

From myself and the whole team at @eurogamer.bsky.social, a very fond farewell and huge thank you to our friends and colleagues (thread).💙

sorry if I say anything stupid before noon, every day I wake up with Summoning Sickness

I think he just means Mario Golf Advance 😅

THANK YOU

Steam community: “Can we play as a male character?”

Me (indie dev in this economy):
“Best I can do is sentient tofu.”

Seconding both Pokopia and FireRed! The only downside to Pokopia is that it's really not like any other Pokemon game, so it won't give you a good sense of what the series is about.

....wow yeah

that's james' motorcycle on the right there and james is just north of it having some sort of fist fight with bobby

i wasn't going to do this joke because it feels far too obvious but the Hoothoot in the tree in the bottom left and Tangrowth drawing indeterminate shapes on the ground kind of sold it for me

For months, @jacksonwryan.com has been looking into why so many video games sites have become full of gambling and casino stories, unusual author images, and, most recently, the use of AI. We've connected these sites to Clickout Media. Here's what we've learned.

oh this is SUCH a nicole game

it does not

aw, THANKS

if you prefer your reviews in video form, we'll have that coming on launch day: the embargo gave us enough time for a written review but not enough lead time for a video one, and the restrictions are a biiiiiiit much as far as what footage we can actually use, so we're waiting on that one.

wait til you see how you put items in your inventory and take them back out again

I never really cared for Ditto at all before this but Pokopia made me fall in love with the little blob
