glad I didn't die before experiencing the rise of indie/AA devs doing fucken magic work with the turn-based tactics and immersive sim genres
I'm guessing Big Walk is only recommended for people who have friends to play with?
In celebration of #YorkshireDay, please enjoy this Sean Bean bastard collection. Sound up, bastards.
remember in 2024 when I picked up HL2 again for the first time in a decade and got my first achievement 10 years later almost to the exact minute
The organization defending human rights has CAVED on defending human rights. This is so impossibly BLEAK. Their website has a “we want to hear from you” form I’ll be using 😡

Been playing Project Zomboid on/off for many years but I haven't touched it since like 2022. Is Build 42 worth coming back to? I invested an unhealthy amount of time into this game circa 2013.
My week is already filling up. HOWEVER - there are a few meetings that would make a few good articles somewhere. One especially. If you're looking at extra cover for Gamescom, or to look at certain games, let's chat.
Daryl Baxter 🔜 Gamescom@darylbaxter.com · last wk.After a weird booking saga with an AirBnb, I'm now 105% going to Gamescom next month! Would love to meet more folk just like at Develop - from PR to mutuals!
Excited to share a lovely chat I had with one Free Company at Final Fantasy Fan Fest this weekend. We discussed everything from how their guild formed to what it's like meeting up in person after finding each other online. Would appreciate a read :) www.express.co.uk/entertainmen...
These strangers gamed online for years, then travelled hundreds of miles to meet
I spoke to one Final Fantasy 14 guild about finding friendships online and what it's like travelling to a convention to meet up in real life.

Not only did I learn today that Saturday Night Live did a sequel to the Papyrus skit, but in true SNL fashion it's twice as long as the first one and half as funny.
Finished The Mandalorian Season 2, enjoyed it and decided to start the next season. Big mistake apparently. Disney+ doesn't tell you this but you need to watch The Book of Boba Fett between those seasons. Confusingly, not a book but a TV miniseries.
Since I rarely appear on camera the next best answer would be Toshiro Mifune, most handsome actor I ever laid eyes on.
Dawn@502eire.bsky.social · 2w agothere is a recurring prompt around what’s the best that anyone has ever looked on camera and I never have an answer but I’m watching right now and I think it’s gotta be George Clooney in Ocean’s 11
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky This is from earlier in the week, but it made me chuckle.
Jumped on Left 4 Dead 2 for a few co-op campaigns tonight and that game fucks so hard
"why don't you stop using writing patterns that AI also uses?"

[me trying to convince myself I don't need to buy more clothes] "It's just cosmetic DLC, it doesn't add any gameplay benefits"
Someone go slap past Olly for arranging a therapy appointment for 8.30am
Every gaming YouTuber is trying to be like Any Austin now and it's insufferable
I'm actually a bit scared I may have booked too many appointments at Gamescom 😢
My opticians sent me this email and I automatically replied in my head "So that we can learn to peek ourselves up."
First time I've seen the muppets at a live event that hasn't immediately been followed by Geoff Keighley's face.
