It’s so annoying! I mean, they terrify me, so I know why they’re used, but man, I wish horror games didn’t default to them so often. I think I’m gonna tap out and watch the end on YT (🙃) but yes, pls do circle back if/when you can!

I've had my This Is Fine mug so long that the dog has become a ghost and all that remain are flames

Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies — the strikes on Iran being just the latest.

In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you.

You probably can’t personally stop the war in Iran today. Is there something you can do for your neighbors hiding from ice? For a trans person in Kansas? Any local aid orgs or rapid response networks? Phone banks? Anyone already doing good shit that just needs a hand?

Help raise £30000 to Coming Together to Support Our Family in a Time of Crisis or Supporting Our Family Through Loss, ICU Care, and Recovery – JustGiving Crowdfunding Iʼm raising money to Coming Together to Support Our Family in a Time of Crisis or Supporting Our Family Through Loss, ICU Care, and Recovery. Support this JustGiving Crowdfunding Page.

I just want to give a bump to the fundraiser for Patrick Dane's family as they deal with the long aftermath of the horrific car accident that took him away from us all. They need it for the enormous costs incurred. Time off work. Fights. Hotels. Etc.

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

Nothing is surprising about the US starting another war. Nothing is more dangerous to Earth and mankind at large than the United States and its complete and utter failure to curtail the worst excesses of humanity. The US oligarchy and its influence on global politics must end.

I still believe strongly in "when they go low, we go high" as long as "high" means "finally sign onto the Rome Statue of the International Criminal Court and see that they are prosecuted for war crimes and human right violations"

It pleases me no end to be able to report that the Braille in Resident Evil Requiem is accurate.

Shoutout to @ianhigton.bsky.social who was still there from my time on the team.

He built Eurogamer’s YouTube channel brick by brick over the course of 13(!!!) years as different presenters came and went. Such an easy person to work with, despite the jorts, and was an absolute grafter too.

In short, please share these posts (and those of my affected colleagues). I feel I’d be a great asset to so many different teams. In the turbulent world of video games, I’m confident I’m as close to a sure thing you can get. Bonus: I can start immediately.

Well then. After 9 years my role of Editorial Director at Eurogamer/IGNE has been made redundant. If you’re reading this and feel I have a lot of valuable experience (I do), I’m keen to explore any opportunities (full time, consulting, other) in the games industry. I am great.

The fact that Reform are *only just* ahead of Labour, and that far behind the Greens, is fucking *lovely* news.
