Perhaps the earliest I've ever seen Crispmas begin.

Not sure I'm ready tbh.

Act 1 of Silksong complete. I think this may be the end of my playthrough though - just too hard ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜…

Love the little weird guys though. Good game.

It's been a year since we brought the A MAZE festival to Sheffield ๐Ÿฆฉ

A bonkers event, definitely made ripples, and led EDGE magazine to declare 'Go North'.

Here's a timelapse that was supposed to cover the whole set up until the battery died ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Facebook Messenger moving 'Select All' to make room for 'Write With AI' is real hell hole shit.

To anyone being hit by layoffs today,

It's not you. It's them. It isn't your fault. It's theirs. You didn't do anything wrong. They did.

They fucked up. Not you.

Everything I'm reading re: Microsoft this evening makes me ill.

But this? This makes me fucking furious.

It's evil. It's dehumanising. And it's shockingly common practice across the industry.

Oh dear.
I guess the point, if there is one, is to propose/impose something which is utterly meaningless but can be presented as "immersive" (my apologies for using that word) as football becomes ever more remote from the fans.

Hideo Kojima Made Significant Changes To Death Stranding 2 Because Playtesters Thought It Was 'Too Good' - IGN Death Stranding 2: On the Beach creator, Hideo Kojima, reportedly changed the game halfway through because playtesting results were "too good," and he doesn't want his work to be "mainstream."

I love this as a marketing beat. Big Jay-from-the-Inbetweeners energy.
