Gamer & scifi fan. I work in the IT industry. DMs closed due to Online Safety Act. #RejoinEU 🇪🇺🇬🇧
Finally got Croc on physical Switch by @argonautgames.com yesterday: 22 months, 2 days after ordering from @rockitgamesnow.bsky.social Never want to hear complaints about @limitedrungames.com taking forever on things ever again, this is by far the longest wait I've had for a current-system physical
One thing I recently discovered while at Gamescom is that @retrogamermag.bsky.social 's German edition isn't just translations of the EN content, it's a quarterly magazine with its own writers. 70% is unique for the DE market. (1/2)
I do wonder what the UK percentage would be now. A lot of Leave voters have died in the 10 years since the vote, and a lot of kids have entered voting age knowing not a lot more than "things have got worse in the last decade".
European Parliament@europarl.europa.eu · 2mo agoNew Eurobarometer data is in! Wondering what Europeans think about EU membership? Turns out, nearly three quarters think that being in the EU has been good for their country. See how many also view it as a plus for democracy, stability, and security: link.europa.eu/TJB8hy
Spain win the World Cup, and Mbappe takes the Golden Boot for France. Good! Argentina deserve nothing after that shameful display following the England match's conclusion.
Happy Tanabata to those that celebrate! 🎋 Keep an eye out for time travellers, aliens, and espers tonight. 🌌
blog.playstation.com/2026/07/01/p... Utterly disgusting. Looks like new game purchases are coming to an end, retro-only from here on out. I am not buying DRM'd software that requires external activation and that can be removed remotely by the publisher.
Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles
In response to shifting trends in consumer preference, new games will be released on PlayStation Store and at retailers in digital formats only.

For gaming specifically: Good job I prefer older stuff, may well now be the time that's the only realistic route for new experiences For general computing: awful news for when hardware breaks, as it inevitably does. Last PC I had 8 years and was fine but the OS obsolete: new one has been less solid
Joshua Rivera@jmrivera.bsky.social · 4mo agogamers are going to make this stuff about them but the redistribution of computing power to be something only for the wealthy and corporate really sucks
And Bulgaria wins! The best outcome I think, and a genuinely out-of-nowhere success. Guess we're going to Sofia next year #eurovision2026
Public votes now rolling in. UK finishes with a single point (from the jury votes) - a shame, the song deserved more than that. We finish last as a result... though we're not the only country to get 0 from the public, Germany and Belgium have as well #eurovision2026
And it's the pre-vote interval. Great to see Lordi again, they're always fun #eurovision2026
Ghosts and glowing skipping ropes for Romania. Song 24, nearly there #eurovision2026
Good job to Look Mum No Computer: song was decent and is quirky enough that it won't be forgotten. Might be in with a decent shot of a decent table place this year - we won't win, but left side of the board is reasonable. #eurovision2026
Initial thoughts: * Love Germany's outfits * Ukraine's song was very good * Australia was very good as well, I can see why they're one of the favourites.
I forgot the Eurovision final was tonight - just put it on now and don't seem to have missed anything, so that's good.
Happy Europe Day 🇪🇺

>new Star Fox game, and is a remake.... =D >...of Lylat Wars, not Starwing =( Close, but no cigar.
Oh hey we finally reached the good era on this little time-travel escapade =P

www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5Od... Started watching TADC. I'm only on episode 3 (no spoilers, please!), but this track in particular has been stuck in my head the last few days. Between this and Kingler's speech to Pomni in the dark in episode 3... Show has hit me a lot harder than I expected.

(1/4) It has risen... After 25 years of being locked away behind some of the most insane software/hardware protection I've ever seen for a $25 unlicensed console accessory, SEGA Dreamcast's DreamMovie has been unlocked, and is available for all! DOWNLOAD github.com/DerekPascare...
It's taken 3 decades, but Nintendo finally came up with a usable N64 controller.
