Reminds me of this recent delightful post from Hartlepool Together. Imagine thinking that this is the type of thing you want to tell 50,000 people

I had fish and chips for tea and needed a 40-minute nap to recover. It was 19:30. I have zero regrets

True Lies is GREAT! We watched Heads of State last night - highly recommended, and put us on a retro kick. RoboCop next!

Mix of the two - it's so fucking ridiculous and the sets are made from cardboard but it's still a 10/10 film, much like The Running Man

A couple of my close mates are in your position. I hope you have people on the ground that have your back, and I'm sure you do, because you're great. Hope you're OK pal

As a big fan of your interviews, I couldn't guess who it was. But it's mad you've had to go through that, and I'm really sorry you had to deal with it. I've had chancers and liars with my work, but never that!

Wasn't Dylan Moran was it? Most difficult thing I've ever done, but I was very green and to his credit, he coached me and I won him over in the end

VGHF Acquires Pioneer Game Magazine, Releases All Of It For Free The Video Game History Foundation has just acquired Computer Entertainer, and it's one of the best things to happen for the industry in a long time.

In case you missed it, the Video Game History Foundation c/o @frankcifaldi.bsky.social is doing the gaming lords' work. Had to write about it and give it the dues it deserves.

Right now, it certainly crashes less than twice a day, which is nice. I love writing GOG stories, it's such a well-run company
