Watching Mamdani win the NYC election:

it might be asking too much but i'd really like the UK voting population who are still of sound mind to look at new york tonight and realise that we fucking CAN keep farage out of no. 10 and that labour and the tories are not a foregone conclusion. better options exist and they can become a reality!

There’s hardly been any game dev stuff from myself since I’ve been slammed with the day job and film journo work.

Finally started Ghost of Yotei, and damn. What an opening hour!

Loving the atmosphere and sense of adventure. Really hope the sense of freedom and promise of non-linear narrative structure is upheld.

Had a lovely chat with George Blagden at Dinard Film Fest about his new film The Run.

But I had to mention his role as Fire Knight Queelign in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.

Was not expecting the following conversation!

Wonder what the Venn diagram is of people boycotting Disney who are now fawning over and sharing the Mando & Grogu trailer.

It’s why I’m always busy and frantic and tired at the screenings!
