I’ve run out of Cadbury mini eggs. Disaster

“Even if he had completed the entire race, Nazgûl’s time would not have counted as he is male. And a dog.”

Very good dog invades course but falls short of medal glory at Winter Olympics A local dog has missed out on a historic medal at the Winter Olympics despite a lung-bursting stretch in the homestretch

Really enjoying The Guardian’s write-up of the Olympic dog story

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

Went for an in-game hike and fish, and I don't regret it

I should say I'm playing it differently this time by challenging myself to live as a 'normal person' who's trying to set up a potion shop.

Currently running away from fights armed only with a little dagger. My "I'm just a girl" run

I did the thing. I looked through my entire library of 100s of games... and started up a new Skyrim save.

I thought I was better than this 😞

"When you see what the darkness was hiding, well, you might regret your wild curiosity."

This week we focused on the Gothic skyboxes of Bloodborne - catch up on the article here:

True! I wonder why that is 🤔

Big side-eye to the Canadian commentary team who were so certain it was a false start 😏

Yeees another British gold in skeleton. We are undefeated at belly sliding

Yeah it’s a pretty awesome setup! Literally ski in ski out haha

Sadly I have previous experience with powering through and every time it's made the cold 1000x worse... think I'll just wait a day or two! I do live on a ski hill so at least I have another 6 weeks before the season ends

Just got over the broken wrist and now I'm ill again... just as it's started snowing. I am doomed to not ski this season

Another fab new article is up! In this piece Honeybat explores how in Bloodborne, a thirst for knowledge can be dangerous - uncovering horrors that might have been best left in the dark.

Oh hey, it’s cool to see my article on mock reviews and game evaluations is being shared!

A timely reminder of why external feedback is vital in the game development process…

Ooft sorry to hear that Jay! Both about the car and the beans on toast

(Seriously though, hope you’re good)

I’m so tired of seeing headlines like this confirming the planet is being destroyed by rich people and corporations, and feeling unable to do anything about it. Just constant existential dread.

Trump revokes landmark ruling that greenhouse gases endanger public health The White House calls it the largest deregulation in US history, but environmentalists say it will prove costly for Americans.

Can we not

Congrats Malindy! That’s so exciting!

Bamboozling everyone on the mountain by skiing without poles and making them think I’m a park rat 😏

Me posing in a green ski jacket and black baggy pants on purple powder skis, with a ski hill in the background

Grand return to skiing again after my wrist fracture. Let’s goooo

It was obvious from the start (and much-discussed) that crypto would be used for criminal means and evading international regulations... these guys are shedding crocodile tears

This month's theme is Skyboxes, and we're starting strong with this excellent piece by @konstantinosd.bsky.social on the ominous skies of Half-Life 2. Well worth a read!

The ticking noise absolutely sent me

Every day since my wrist break I've had a new hospital bill, insurance query or medical report to sort out. Actually maddening, the paperwork has been more painful than the injury

All we can hope for are hobnobs at best nowadays 😔

The idea video game critics don’t get pushback on their words is laughable, people will debate you on literally everything you write. Sometimes the conversation is well-natured and valid, often times, it is not

Brother I used to get threats of violence down the phone just for writing about video games
