The new Bluey game is good, has 23,000+ positive ratings on the App Store, and a sensible premium price model.

Great that the work went to an Aus developer, but you gotta wonder how much revenue went to the BBC for licensing, and the US publisher for distribution.

If only Australia... owned Bluey?

We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists

I'm enjoying the aesthetic of Marathon but if I really wanted to spend my free time looking at boxes in videogames I would probably be playing Boxes: Lost Fragments, now free for a limited time on the Epic Game Store.

The Verge's big story wasn't a comprehensive account of the leadership changes. It was a chance for people inside MS to blame someone who was heading out the door for problems far wider and older than her tenure.

(content warning for spurs fans: story includes substantial tottenham references)

I often feel like the world has given up on fighting climate change. Social media is full of folks who simply laugh at the idea now; the anti-knowledge movement is surreal and concerning. So, I'm really pleased to see this kind of reporting from a games POV, especially its breadth and depth.

I've somehow found myself chatting to Phil at length a couple of times during my career and most recently we talked a lot about playing music instead of videogames and how he very much wanted the time to go back to taking piano lessons again.

Go play that piano Phil.
