I am a grown man. I have responsibilities. I should know better... But this watermelon hand soap? It smells so god-damned good I’m one bad day away from just tasting it. I know it’s soap. I know it’ll taste like soap... But what if it doesn’t? What if it’s delicious? God help me.

In 2025, how are couriers still delivering to the wrong address? They’ve got GPS, they’ve got a postcode... surely the scanner should scream, “You’re not even in the right place!” before letting them mark it as delivered?

Holy moly... Project Mix just got fully funded within the hour. The Discord launch party has been a blast! If you like the sound of chaotic cyberpunk dystopia bartending, neon anime vibes and story, and the chance to share a smoke with your cat after a hard day... go back it now.

Cyberpunk anime bartending narrative adventure, in VR... I can only wish I was half as good in their demo as whoever is in this video clip. store.steampowered.com/app/2439770/... Their Kickstarter goes live in three days and I can't wait! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ple...

I know I’m not the first to say this… But when did we all become cool with changelogs just saying: "The latest version contains bug fixes and performance improvements" ? That’s not a changelog. That’s a vague summary of what a changelog is supposed to contain ./sigh

FFXIV (and FFVII) crossover into MtG? I guess this is where I finally learn to play commander...

And my review of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is in! It's pretty boring... Almost zero gameplay beyond a couple of clicks - graphics have been a single image with a graph that scrolls, plus two lines that barely move. I'll update this in five hours when it's finished installing...

23 hours until FF7Rebirth hits PC and I’ve somehow dodged spoilers since the PS5 launch last year (are they even “spoilers” if I wore out the original FFVII as a kid?). Now my socials are full of early PC reviews and guides 😭. My boss will understand me setting my status to “busy” tomorrow, right?

I need some VR game recommendations. Preferably ones that are sit and play, but if I have to rearrange the room to make space, I will. What have you all been playing?

Hyped for BL4, so I decided to do all my wrapping Borderlands style this year! I've still got so many more to wrap (yes, on Xmas eve!) before they all go under the tree. @gearboxofficial.bsky.social

Another year, and yet STILL the most commonly used passwords are 12345678, password, qwerty123... (sourced from data-breach dumps of login details). Never before have we been more security conscious with 2FA/MFA, OTP, passkey, etc, on so many accounts and yet these are still so common? Whhyyy??

"We don't pre-order games." "Why pre-ordering digital content? it's not going to sell out." "Pre-ordering puts less pressure on devs for day-one, feature-rich, bug-free games." Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth announced for PC with 30% off... that's technically not a pre-order, right? Right...?

How is this even a thing that can happen? And how is it not abused more?

Learning JavaScript slowly... "If it b̶l̶e̶e̶d̶s̶ console.logs, we can ̶k̶i̶l̶l̶ innerHTML it."

Ok... that's right in the feels. So many gaming events I've attended over the years are just gone. I hadn't even stopped to realise it, but they're not wrong. What a gut punch 😞

Why have so many people in the games industry shifted to Bluesky? Devs say the platform is a promising "fresh start." "It's a great [place] to share early development and get early feedback from kind people."

This will be my only political post. For those saying "How could anyone vote for Trump?" or similar - He got 3 million fewer votes than 2020... but Kamala/Dems got 15 million fewer. Trump got in because you didn't vote him out. Voter apathy on the left is to blame - you handed him that win.

EVIL GAMEDEV ADVICE: expand the scope. more items. your first game should be a 40 hour rpg. dont forget to expand the scope. don't ask for help. create a discord server. there should be 63 unique classes in your rpg. no fishing game. don't forget to expand the scope.

Holy moly... Wow's new Gilded Brutosaur is £60 ($90) ! That's more expensive than the current expansion ./cry... Scrolling through r/WoW and seeing multiple screenshots of players lining up on these mounts is depressing. We say ‘vote with your wallet,’ but apparently, the wallets have spoken…
