Jay Britton ➡️ Gamescom

I humbly request an invite for next time because a) this looks dope and b) this looks dope.

A golf green is ahead, with the hole around 24 - 30ft away. The picture is taken about 6ft from the edge of the green.

Sure, sex is great but have you ever chipped it in from here for a birdie?

(we'll ignore the other shots this round...)

An image of a build of a Venator class ship from the Star Wars Universe

Over 5,300 pieces but it's finally done! Absolutely no idea where I'm going to put it but it was a very fun build 🤓

A character flying backwards through the air with guns out in front, firing is painting on a wall.

First London stop done, thanks for having me OMUK, always nice to see this wall art!

The book "The complete guide to videogame performance directing" sits on a table.

You (should) never stop learning or training in this line of work, there is always more to know or another perspective to consider.

So, this is today's reading material, excited to dive in!

Every time I try and spin up a useless character they end up being annoyingly good. It was the same in Zweihander when I created a tiny, high charisma, low fighting skill street merchant.

He rolled so well in combat he was pocket-sanding entire alleyways of enemies 🤣

Oh I would have had it today but I'm away until Monday so moved the delivery 😭

I can't WAIT to get my hands on mine. Congratulations to you and the whole team on getting it out there :)

My Cursed Captains of Cthulhu rulebook is on its way!

It's from @blackcatsgaming.bsky.social and it's a ridiculously good system for some Lovecraftian, swash buckling adventure. I backed it on Kickstarter so I've got the book, GM screen, dice set and other goodies coming!

One-shot anyone?

I'm very excited for this one and eagerly awaiting the arrival of a code from the game Gods :) I saw the transition where you go back to your tent the other day and *chef's kiss*

I've been invited to come and sniff things at Gamescom... feels like a trap

Proton VPN extension on Chrome, completely free and bypasses it all.

This will be my first year attending and no idea what I'm for, I'm also red-eye'ing in and out both ways so it's gonna be... an experience.

Come and we can be traumatised together!

Oh my god, this looks like SO much fun! Adding to my list for next year 🙂

Yeah it's crazy, one hotel I looked at was literally 10 times the price the week of Gamescom, that shit should be illegal.

Well it took me most of the evening to make it not cost the world but... I'm off to Gamescom!

I've never been to either Gamescom or Germany so I'm very excited. Less excited about the 06:50 flight time and possible murder hotel I'm staying in...

While efficient I have concerns about the environmental requirements, temperature state makes this very volatile storage, needing to keep it in a *giggles* non solid-state

A cool Lego build AND a Brooklyn 99 reference? 10/10, no notes.

I'm tired, can I just be crushed already?

This, so much this, especially for newer actors.

If you're at an industry event, you're all ready "in", you don't have to impress everyone or treat every conversation like a potential casting.

Be genuine, love the work and make friends, that's it.

Capitalism just doesn't work y'all.

Was looking at doing Gamescom, using one hotel as an example:

Art Rock Downtown Hotel
3 nights during Gamescom = £2,128
Same 3 nights a week later = £205

How?! Why?!

An image depicting the evolution of the Windows recycle bin icon over the years with the icon for 2025 simply being the icon for Microsoft One Drive.

This gave me a hearty chuckle this morning so I'm sharing it with you all...

.... "yet somehow, the Emperor returned"

I mean, the rest of me has no idea so it's fair to assume my muscles don't as well 🤣

Will have a look!

A combination of bending over to plug something in and a few long drives this week has trashed my back so badly that my muscles are twitching from my shoulder blade, round the side and into my chest...

I turn 40 next week and this feels about right to be honest *sigh*

A banner announces that I'm speaking at Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki on October 7 - 8th. The conference covers Mobile, AI, HTML, PC, Console, Web3 and more. On the right is a picture of me.

It might be a while away but I'm excited to announce I'll be speaking at Pocket Gamer Helsinki October 7th - 8th!

Come along to hear my talk focused on creating performance pipelines that generate great results once your actors hit the booth and / or volume.

My Bloodborne audiobook is now just 30k views away from hitting the big 1 million! If current patterns continue it should hit that in about 2 months :)

Apparently a lot use it to fall asleep, what Lovecraftian nightmares they must have! youtu.be/8ktMg4eQ1G8
