You and me both 😂 it's been a wild journey and a hell of a grind, but there's a huge want for short form gaming coverage. While we do share trailers and clips, a lot of our audience also really tunes into the news digests that we do on there!
Was extremely lucky to have @ashlyburch.bsky.social come visit us in our offices and be the first on ANOTHER new show we're trialling called 'X to Answer'.

I've decided to create a humble starter kit for game devs that are of Lebanese origin. I know there's more than these fine folks around, but I have a feeling most haven't joined Bluesky. I'll wait and see, and potentially turn it to a Levantine Arab list instead go.bsky.app/BCfeTT1
Made a starter pack of wonderful game devs in the London and surrounding game community! 💖

I think it’s really great and important that the Stalker 2 devs were invited to BAFTA to talk about their experiences making the game under such dire conditions. But I can’t help but feel a way considering the wider industry’s silence on the ongoing Palestinian genocide.
