Can you imagine how good a Pokemon Theatrhythm would be? Absolute license to print money. Main games, spin-offs, anime music... It's such an obvious idea, I can't believe it hasn't happened.

As a CPTSD survivor, I have mixed feelings about this sentiment. But also, Neon Genesis Evangelion is categorically *not* meant for kids and yet was the single biggest source of comfort in my youth, so... Trust kids. Always smarter than we give them credit for.

I'm visiting a satellite partner this weekend.

Currently in bed with a hangover, they're making bacon pancakes, blasting London Grammar, and just said we're going to the beachside sauna later.

Polyamory is fucking great, I don't know if I've told everyone that lately?

I'm on a coach, a space between worlds, a powerfully liminal place. Rules don't apply. Things slip through the cracks like treasured personal possessions between seat cushions.

Didn't even get Final Fantasy VIII, probably my favourite game of all time, in here. Fuck me.

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.

Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.

This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

I was a model for Toni + Guy, got free haircuts throughout Uni, some of my pictures ended up on billboards. It was all VERY camp.

Hello everyone. I come with the sad news that as you are no doubt already aware, we're saying goodbye to several of our friends and colleagues here at Eurogamer. Leaving us are Tom Orry, our editorial director; our video team of Ian Higton, Zoe Delahunty-Light, and Alix Attenborough; Alex Donaldson, our editor-at-large; and Will Judd, who worked across Digital Foundry, hardware and deals.

I'll start with Tom, who over the past year-plus had made himself a hugely valuable source of advice, expertise, desert-dry humour and world class poker faces (I think we just about made him laugh once, for a moment, on his final day). 

Tom initially began the role when Tom Phillips was our editor-in-chief here, mostly working away diligently in the background in a two-Tom-tandem doing editorial director things, before taking on a more prominent role on the site itself over the past 11 or 12 months, gracing us with some signature console nostalgia and unjustifiably intense Project Gotham Racing enthusiasm. Tom, Dom, Alex and I, along with the rest of the team, worked together closely on what a 'new Eurogamer' might look like last year, and his experience in running multiple games media sites was consistently our rock to lean on. 

While he may have initially seemed an outsider of sorts compared to Eurogamer chiefs of old - at least to some on the surface, coming from his 20-plus years across our sister sites VG247 and USGamer, and before that the cult-favourite site he founded in our once-rival VideoGamer - I can't stress enough how much Tom 'got' Eurogamer. His goal was for us to be at the heart of the big stories that mattered most to our readers with original, diligent reporting and on-the-button commentary, and that will absolutely continue.

In immaculately on-brand, limelight-dodging Orry style, Tom opted to sneak his farewell into this past weekend's What We've Been Playing column, but I'll be damned if he gets away with it that easily. Sorry Tom. Here's what he had to say…

From myself and the whole team at @eurogamer.bsky.social, a very fond farewell and huge thank you to our friends and colleagues (thread).πŸ’™

One of the main reasons I joined the Green Party is because they are the only party ready to take on the criminal racket of landlords and developers that have parts of this country in a chokehold. Vote Green.

Real dearth of decent chicken shops near me, so tonight I thought 'fuck it' and made my own.

7/10: succulent, tasty, GORGEOUS texture but next time I'll use way more seasoning and do a better batter than just what breadcrumbs I had lying around
