Still disappointed it isn’t a trendy retelling of the story of William Pitt the Younger

Rolled credits on Pokopia. I don't think anyone has made anything in recent years that was so perfectly pitched to all my video game preferences. Endless tidying up, overlapping craft chains, cute animals, chonky and reliable UI... I need to play other stuff now, but don't want to.

But I haven’t finished Pokopia yet

A painful thing about this situation is that the actual writers have no input at all into what ad formats are used, etc, but they feel the criticism of their publications most keenly, whereas the business idiots deliberately surrounding their work with this crap couldn't care less about the readers.

SNK is releasing a modern NeoGeo AES console with ‘unrivaled authenticity’ and £70 game cartridges | VGC The classic SNK console is coming with full compatibility with original games…

I shouldn't be tempted by PLAION/SNK re-releasing the Neo Geo AES later this year but having briefly possessed the real thing about ten years ago I may fall for this ruse of theirs.

Oh man, Tim Follin, what a legend. I should dig out the Super Play where they interviewed him. Turns out he didn’t even like games.

This is a beautiful post. Don’t listen to anyone who says it’s fowl.

Why don’t they just use space time? Are they stupid?

I joke, of course. There was also the weekend that I managed to preorder the Legio Custodes Battle Group successfully.

Just had the loft boarded and a new loft ladder installed and I’ve bought a bunch of massive Really Useful storage crates. Not sure I’ve been this excited about a weekend since I got married!!!

There is oooonly the Emperoooorrrrr

I might slightly prefer A View To A Kill, I’m not sure. But really I would happily watch any of those Roger Moore films, they were just ludicrous cinema.

Yes Chet! So much great stuff in that movie… The crocs! The finger snipping! The snake in the bathroom! Bond bringing his own stacked deck of cards! (Ok a bit creepy, that one.) The BUS! The SPEED BOATS! I may have to go watch it right now or my name ain’t Sheriff JW Pepper!

Water opinion

I would but, controversially, I think we should keep and cherish amazing people.

Have you laid yourself off yet?

Ayyy you’ve still got that SNES 😀

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

How I feel as I try to explain the Sora news to family members

Julie I’m so proud of you for this joke

As far as I can see, all this AI stuff costs far more to run than it ever makes back, their costs are not coming down at all, and they’re running out of people to fleece for investment money. The fact they were happy to kill a $1bn Disney investment to shut it down suggests desperation.

Perhaps he meant billions of staff

Oh my god. I just went through my first proper gate in Pokopia. I didn’t realise! I thought the game was just what I had! This is amazing!

One great thing about Pokemon Pokopia is that even when I’m knackered at the end of the day, and I don’t feel like doing anything, I know I can fire it up and just have a nice time tending to my happy little village of friendly animals. Bliss.

I suppose I should clarify that I do not mean the lovely DF guys, I mean Nvidia's plan to slopscale everything

This is some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard and I’ve interviewed Don Mattrick

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

Words are absolutely clear, as usual
