Extremely grateful for 10k WL - never felt like a particularly easy target for our first game. Delighted we’ve hit it two weeks before release. Appreciate the support! πŸ₯š

Coupla folk asked if I’m a Tigers fan, but I just said no. No was easier than explaining my favourite team are the Fanta dogs from Dolucky no Kusayakiu.

Been in Osaka the last few days and I’m almost certainly leaving here a baseball fan.

Said to a laddie earlier, β€œbeing Scottish is a state of mind” then twenty minutes later he told me he’d been to New Lanark Visitor Centre, proving my point entirely.

My new Steam obsession is this love letter to Metal Gear Solid which nails the PS1 aesthetic in a shoot-'em-up inspired by '90s games and anime Birdcage nails that arcade feel making for one of the best demos from the previous Steam Next Fest

Saw a laddie in the pub with an old (custom) Scotland tee on, which had the Safeway logo on the back. Psychic damage.
