Super Nintendo: Keza MacDonald and Chris Bratt. · Luma Join Keza MacDonald in conversation with Chris Bratt for the launch of Super Nintendo: How One Japanese Company Helped the World Have Fun, a riveting cultural…

BRIGHTON, I'm doing a Super Nintendo event at Loading Bar on February 17 with the esteemed @chrisbratt.bsky.social of People Make Games. Ticket price includes a Nintendo-themed special cocktail - come along!

Nothing I can really say that hasn't already been said much better by others. I just desperately hope the Greens don't fumble the bag somehow.

Everything I read about the Labour party makes me want to violate a ToS. Just worthless as an entity.

Delve into The Deepest Dark From Ella Watts - Delve into The Deepest Dark

It's one week until crowdfunding starts for The Deepest Dark as part of Zinetopia on @backerkit.com, and Zine Month more widely!

In our game, you're asked to play people from the real world, in the real world, who've been trapped underground. You will die in these caves. Find hope anyway. (1/6)

I enjoyed my time visiting the Bone Temple

Time to enter the Bone Temple

It's such a good (deeply stressful) age

We're launching a website.

Jank is an independent PC games website funded by readers.

jank.cool

If you like funny, thoughtful games journalism and can't stand adverts, deals posts, affiliate links, and other nonsense - Jank is for you.

@maddyisabstract.bsky.social may be of interest to you?

His persona is terrible! Only time I've ever found him funny is when he was on I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue and dropped the bloody act.

Happy Birthday! Hope you're having a good one

Want to talk about a thing I've made and it's quite frankly scandalous that it requires me to actually make something first

That's a hobbyist who understands the realities of parenting

Yeah UK politics is fuuuuuucked

Ian M. Banks wrote the Culture series, the classic starter book is Player of Games. Really good mix of thoughtful sci-fi and pulpy action.

I don't revisit stuff all that often tbh. Terry Pratchett & Ian M. Banks are the only two I occasionally revisit. As for reccs, since reading "Earthsea: The First Four Books" by Ursula K. Le Guin, that's been my go to suggestion for basically anyone.

Ok, I could *really* do with a vague idea of how many people might be interested in this event, otherwise finding a suitable venue is a nonsense.

I've set up a temporary event page here: ti.to/tabletop-unc...

If you're conceptually interested, please click through and register your interest!

This isn't going to be something I can do with the kids at this age, so I'm not going to register interest in a misleading way. But wanted to make it clear I think this is a fantastic idea, and the moment I'd be able to make something like this I would do it in a heartbeat.

A stack of 10 books on a bedside table. From the top the books are: Life After Life by Kate Atkinson, Embassytown by China Mieville, Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer, Eerie East Anglia (short story collection, multiple authors), The Traitor by Seth Dickinson, Space It Is Set In Space by Williams & Cressey, Queer as Folklore by Sacha Coward, Britain's Folklore Year by Mark Norman, How to Make the Best Coffee at Home by James Hoffman, and finally Craftland by James Fox.

This "to read" pile is getting out of hand

I don't think I'm going to be able to wangle seeing Bone Temple in the cinema, but seeing the reactions catapult from "terrible" to "transcendant" has me so excited to watch it when I'm able.

I’ve decided to open up my commissions again! I’m currently unemployed, have a lot of free time, and any income would be nice to have until I find a new job :)

If you have any questions feel free to contact me! I’m open to drawing a lot of things, but I too have limits

Really made me feel like part of a community in a way I haven't really since. Kept in contact with a few people, but being able to get in a room and chat was so important.

Ah man, VideoBrains was my first foray into communally thinking and talking about games, much missed

The cover of my new book The Grapples Of Wrath. It shows a 2D graphic, block colour scene of a beach, with Brighton pier on the left side. A blue and white striped deckchair sits on yellow sand, under an orange sky. A lucha wrestling mask hangs from the deckchair, and appears to be dripping blood...

HELLO! My name is Alice Bell. I used to write about games, and now I still do that but also write murder mysteries with ghosts and jokes. The latest is about solving a murder in a pro-wrestling gym and is out now!

All good, I often feel the same about trying to talk to people online

Oh yeah, that Tim guy is an absolute dickhead

Picture of 7 magic the gathering cards laid out on a desk in front of a keyboard. From left to right the cards are: Curious Colossus, Raiding Schemes, Glen Elendra's Answer, Chronicle of Victory, Glen Elendra Guardian, Steam Vents, Glen Elendra Guardian (borderless variant).

God opening booster packs feels great. Have I reawoken a sickness? Perhaps. But for now, I have some pictures of faeries and giants and the like

Stayeth Calme and Carreyeth Onne

Nah I'm pretty chill, don't worry about it
