Open Letter Relating to the UK Video Games Council - full version on our website https://www.gameworkers.co.uk/open-letter-regarding-the-uk-video-games-council/

We are incredibly disappointed by the Labour government's decision to seek advice from such a narrow segment of our industry. You can find our open letter here: www.gameworkers.co.uk/open-letter-...

this is so true. i do sign some because it's such a low barrier to entry, but you should never be under the delusion that this system does anything worthwhile. it was designed to suppress the desire for change

well, i've signed up for their emails. cautiously optimistic about the democracy promised here. unless it is democratic enough, it will be doomed to repeat the mistakes of labour and i really need it to not fucking do that

Maddie and I have been playing Halo 3 co-op for the first time and I'm starting to think that the main appeal of these games is when the "Press [RB] to pick up" prompt appears over an image of an incomprehensible sci-fi weapon outline and you're like "ohoho now what does *this* fucking thing do"

A new trailer has released for "Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Walpurgisnacht Rising." The sequel movie by SHAFT will release in Japanese theaters in February 2026.

Looking back at last week's fiasco regarding the Sultana/Corbyn new party of the left, Harry Holmes responds with a simple call: "Just Launch the Thing!"

prometheusjournal.org/2025/07/07/j...

text over a picture of a vibrant sunset, with a vinyl shaped logo to the left. the text reads: 'internet record shop 03: FRIENDSHIP how it works: - submit up to 3 tunes of yours you think might fit the theme! you're free to interpret it however you want - we'll put together the submissions into a ~30m mix, which will be uploaded on youtube with links to artists' socials/streaming onscreen (see our previous compilations!) - we're mostly looking for music under the VGM/digital fusion umbrella, but other submissions will also be considered if we can make them fit! - full submission guidelines and info will be sent out to previously-involved musicians over the next day or so, but if you want to get involved or think we've missed you feel free to send us a DM either here, on Discord (@internetrecordshop) or send us an email (internetrecordshop@gmail.com)!'

new compilation coming!!! not a drill!!! i'll send out full submission info to people involved before in a bit, but if you're new to this feel free to dm or email if you want to get involved (info in image)!

My favorite part of SGF was when the Splitgate dude said he wanted to "Make FPS Great Again" and then announced a battle royale mode with Imagine Dragons playing.
