Rupert go one day without injuring yourself challenge

Perhaps we should be asking why an organization with 18 billion worth of debt is allowed to purchas another company

Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · yesterday

EA officially goes private tonight, meaning: - EA will no longer trade on the NASDAQ for the first time in 36 years - All stockholders of EA (including many employees) will receive $210/share - EA will take on $18 billion (!) in debt, putting it on the hook to pay ~$1.8 billion/year in interest

Anybody want to join me for a big walk?

this is the best video game experience i've had all year. i love big walk. ask me about big walk. kotaku.com/big-walk-the...

there was a moment during the Preston Park gig where someone at the front showed Nick Cave a weird handmade doll and it genuinely put the shites up him lol

Can't believe they made a human centipede game

Just found out my mum has roped my neighbours into helping tidy my front garden up which has created an impossible level of anxiety within me

July's 'What I've Been Playing' video will be approximately a week late due to me bunking off to go to a gig and also I need to do a couple of rewrites on account of not doing appropriate research

Nick Cave performing like it's his last night on Earth. Sensational show. Completely blindsided by a surprise guest singer too!

One thing video games have over film is collecting shards. Regardless of how big Christopher Nolan goes with his camera, his movies will never allow us to collect shards.

Gone to Brighton on a Friday. Feels illegal.

Nothing puts the fear of God into me like my mother texting me about problems in my house when I'm halfway across the country lol

Didn't realize that Incident at Galley House was a remake of Type Help. That game has been on my radar for a while but I never played it. Kind of glad now, as it would have probably dampened the impact of the newer version for me but I'm interested in going back to it to see what the differences are

just had a great few hours tooling around in Rita, a crossword puzzle platformer. Hard to put down. store.steampowered.com/app/2984850/...

Did this last year. Magical game.

Tapping the sign again. Start your playthough on August 1st for a magical experience!

Hey! We're releasing three more physical video games: the excellent Sektori, Dread Delusion and Easy Delivery Co, all with lavish artwork, packaging and extras. Thrilled to work with @spadgy.bsky.social, @thewillarowe.bsky.social and @ultrabrilliant.xyz on the essay booklets. www.lostincult.co.uk

Not digging the new Charli XCX, unfortunately.

Didn't quite make it into my nextfest video but the demo for this was very cool. I've been smashing through Dread Delusion at a rate of knots this month so I'm well up for more fleshy weirdness

Casey Explosion@caseyexplosion.bsky.social · last wk.

I'm terrified of all the games releasing next month, that is an absurd release schedule, but one that I'm particularly looking forward to is the new game from the Dread Delusion developer, Entropy.

Watching Marty Supreme. Pains me to say this but the evil Safdie brother is incredibly talented

Just got to a big holy fuck moment in Galley House, this is going to be a total arseache to talk about without spoiling it

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is deeply embarrassing at times

The Incident at Galley House has big Stuart Turton energy. I'm having a great time with this.

Bounced off this the first time I played it a few years back, now I can't get enough of it. At least as good as Downwell, if not better!

but they already made a historically accurate version of the odyssey?

NEW POST: Wrote some thoughts about Christopher Nolan's latest:

Some brief thoughts on The Odyssey | Static Canvas

I'm not one for hyperbole, and especially when it comes to Christopher Nolan I think a lot of his fanbase need to have a word with themselve

Go watch The OA

Evan Backlog@backlogreviewer.bsky.social · 2w ago

In case you missed it, I wrote a timely essay about why the pilot episode of The OA (specifically its insanely late title drop) makes me cry :) thebacklogreviewer.wordpress.com/2026/07/21/w...

Just saw one of my colleagues at lunch chug a pot of yogurt like a pint lol

Finished Rejection this morning. A really fascinating short story collection. Beautifully written but also painfully contemporary to the degree that I think it's level of reference is going to be lost on future generations. There's a reference to Bean Dad in it lol

I'm not posting Odyssey memes because one must be wary of GIFs bearing Greeks.
