Pulp is back. Oasis is back. Will somebody please wake Damon Albarn the fuck up?

Yaaaaaayyy I can melt faces now. That’s going on my LinkedIn.

I appreciate that. It's hard work. ;)

You could do an entire Fast and Furious movie with Pitbull instead of Vin Diesel and nobody would know the difference.

Highest resolution photo of the #sun ever just dropped. I can't be the only one who sees this, right? #gaming #zelda

YouTube video by Jim Squires Jim’s Favourite Movies of 2024

Every January 1, I share my top movies of the previous year in one medium or another. This year I thought I’d try my hand at a quick and dirty video. Enjoy! youtu.be/1bIRxXh1PS8?...

Absolutely addicted to #lofi mixes on YouTube while I work lately. Can’t get over how much I enjoy the looping visuals.

Remember that AMAZING #XR #VR booth I was part of at #Gamescom this year? It's coming back in 2025! If you're interested in participating, you're going to want to flag your interest on the linked Google Form ASAP.

I’ve been playing a lot of #MarvelSnap lately and the fact that nothing happened when I reached Collection Level 616 feels like such a missed opportunity

It’s a Saturday in December.
I’m walking out of my favorite movie theatre after watching a matinee about unlikely animal friendships.
The cinema has new merch, and while I didn’t buy any, I loved it all the same.
It’s snowing.
Life is perfect.

Pretty sure he’s looking towards the “Horizon” ;)

The perfect #toque doesn’t exis—

I’ve…
- seen 3
-want to see 5
- haven’t heard of 1
- just kinda …don’t care about the Bob Dylan biopic for some reason?

I have catching up to do!

Absolutely will do!

Messaging things is my BREAD AND BUTTER, Nick. :P

Art from the classic Magic: The Gathering "Black Lotus" card

Just had someone ask me to explain the appeal of #MagicTheGathering to them and I ended up going with "Imagine a game with as much strategic depth as chess, but invented during late 20th century capitalism, so every three months they release new chess pieces to buy that do new things." #MTG

Is it the West Block? Or am I crazy?

Calm down, Ponyo

Obvious yet perfect merch. Well played, @localthunk.bsky.social

...and that's how we got to here! This weird, wonderful, hypnotic slowjam as my #1 song of 2024 per #Spotify. Music is a thing, and it lives where it needs to in our lives. Apparently this one needed to live in mine A LOT these last few months. 🤷

The installation had an original score composed for it by the band HAM, and that place gave me such a vibe that I didn't want to let it go, so I played this tune on a loop for most of my flight back. I also used it for ambience when I ran #TombofHorrors last month for three straight days.

When I was in #Iceland this Fall, I had the good fortune to check out #ChromoSapiens -- an incredible art installation by Shoplifter that was equal parts Dr. Seuss and Underdark. Here's a few pics from my visit to give you a sense. It was TREMENDOUS.

This was my most listened to song in 2024 per #SpotifyWrapped. This is a WILD truth, and if you click it and listen, you'll wonder how the hell this happened -- but sometimes life has more context that a Spotify recap can provide! open.spotify.com/track/1BwsvZ...

Did mostly good at avoiding the allure of #BlackFriday, but the siren’s call of 40% off Quest games proved too strong a pull. Snagged four more #mixedreality / #VR games — excited to dive in!

1. LEGO Bricktales
2. Thrasher
3. Airspace Defender
4. MiRacle Pool

HUGE kudos to @playstack.com and @localthunk.bsky.social for sharing this info. It absolutely shifted my thinking about what's still possible on the platform (albeit under very specific circumstances). And thanks to @pocketgamerbiz.bsky.social's for covering it!

My apologies! Deleting the post to remove your tag.

It's even crazier when you think about how it's on Apple Arcade, which is only $6.99 a month and comes with tons of other great titles. When faced with that value prop, people said "nah -- I'll pay the extra $3. I know this is a keeper."

If you've bought it on mobile you likely own it somewhere else -- but that's kind of the point? Players had validated it was right for them, recognized it as perfect for on-the-go gaming, and were properly marketed to about mobile thanks to the awards. At a whopping $9.99 on mobile, units MOVED.
