If you do LISTEN TO THE VOICES please let us all know.
Because if you do, then I can say 'I know of THREE PEOPLE who have bought a Switch 2 for Pokopia'
(yes, there are others)
Whoever thought 'share button = pause' for Resident Evil Requiem needs a stern word with, ideally outside.
The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

For the adlanders who follow me here, we lost one of the great ones yesterday.
RIP Dame Annette King. I'm utterly utterly heartbroken.

Yeah, it was lovely to play. Proper old-school Zelda vibes... but with a LOT of secrets.
So I kept getting my ass handed to me by that boss too but then I found a random Holy Cross code in a comments section of a YouTube video and then SHE WAS MINE.
Finally finished TUNIC over lunch. What a game. I can't believe I left it so long to play.
A day of clarity.
I had to speak to them the other day. About a problem my accountant spotted from a couple of years ago.
'Hi, you'll need to write to us'
'OK, I can do that'
'Fair warning, we have a 47 week response time'
'Sorry?'
The curse of the cooked algorithm.
Evergreen skeet.
Resident Evil Requiem is NOT a great game to start right before bed time!
Lies, damned lies, and over-written award entries.
Oh man, Pokopia getting rave reviews means the kids are gonna go nuts.
God damn.
Maybe going on linkedin and celebrating your 'visionary' CEO as she cuts thousands of jobs probably isn't the best way to start off your Monday.
But hey, you do you.
A rare Sunday spent not cooking all day means just rustling something up quick fo the fam.
That's credits rolled on the utterly superb ABSOLUM
Cannot recommend it enough. Great game.
Took the kids to see the GOAT movie today (it's about a goat that plays basketball and dreams of being THE GOAT) and honestly I haven't laughed that much in ages.
If you ignore the endless product placement it is a fantastic film.
Might go again 😅
I've played this.
And I can't wait for you to play it too :)

Well then. After 9 years my role of Editorial Director at Eurogamer/IGNE has been made redundant. If you’re reading this and feel I have a lot of valuable experience (I do), I’m keen to explore any opportunities (full time, consulting, other) in the games industry. I am great.
Happy Pokémon Day!
It's so sad to see strategists whose work I used to really enjoy resort to obviously-written-by-ai Linkedin fodder to get their daily algo hit.
ai;dr man, ai;dr
Working on two - TWO - massive projects both arriving in September.
Both WILDLY different.
Both I cannot believe I have in front of me.
WAAAAAGH.
I worked at Ogilvy and Mather for seven years.
Cut my advertising / planner / strategy teeth there.
Met the Mrs there.
Had two kids.
Won a bunch of friends/pitches/awards.
...
I know the brand isn't dead yet but that death toll is ringing.
Gutting.

Please don't send me unasked for calendar invites.
Jeez, that's such a fast way to block/unsubscribe.
Yuk.
This is sad to read. I've got high hopes for whatever Maverick are working on. I hope they land somewhere decent.
I already shared this post earlier, but this is such a brilliant piece of work that I've gone back and subscribed to London Centric because this is the kind of important journalism I want to support
It's that time again.
