Can't imagine the terror as an advancing army marches up and your elite have your back no matter what guard just steps aside

Didn't know so many emperors were murdered by their guard, and now quietly mind blown at the fact that's very probably the number one cause of emperor death in ancient Rome

Been around games journalism long enough that watching everyone crowing over someone else making a fuck-up is just wearying and a little sad.

Why are there so many video game showcases?, 31/07/2025 Or, why there were 30+ events with 7070 games for you to watch this Summer

This week, I'm back writing @vgim.bsky.social

I talk Japanese politics, hobbits & lycra,while examining why we're drowning in livestream showcases.

Cheers to @dompepin.bsky.social @jaketucker.bsky.social @indoorheroes.bsky.social for the insight

Nothing that's playable (whether in early access or fully released) before December, and I won't be able to get back to everyone. Sorry!

Hello! Putting together our longlist for PC Gaming Show's Most Wanted, and we've got plenty of cool stuff on our radar.

But, we don't know what we don't know, so if you're working on something rad, drop the storelink / footage below. I'm about to take two weeks off, but will look everything over.

Hey, I hosted the PC Gaming Show. How'd that happen?! Big shout out to everyone that worked on the show and especially whoever thought up bringing me along to build a gaming PC during it. I had a blast.

Now I'm just hoping they'll let me keep the dungarees...

How we can smash Britain’s two-party system for good at the next election | George Monbiot Labour is beyond repair. Time for a co-ordinated strategy to support progressive parties committed to electoral reform, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

By betraying his voters so comprehensively and so soon, Keir Starmer has done us a favour. He has given us 4 years to design the government we want.
In this week's column I explain how it can be done. There's massive
potential, but we need to start now. 🧵
