Split Fiction is genuinely one of the best games I've ever played. I'm in awe of it. I want to go back and experience it for the first time all over again, and I only just finished it. I might have related to some parts of it a little too hard. But wow.

Our Editor @hewso.bsky.social has been teasing something big from P2... well it is now time to announce it. For 2025 and 2026, Player 2 will be the major sponsor of the Canberra Rolling Raiders Wheelchair Rugby League side. Find out the how's and the why's here: www.player2.net.au/2025/02/play...

Happy Mardi Gras everyone! 🏳️‍🌈🌈I hope you get to use it as a chance to celebrate pride and self-expression in even the smallest way, whatever that means for you. This year, for me, it's quietly watching the parade broadcast and assembling a gift I bought myself that I've been eyeing off for years.

Instead of giving my brain a break after finishing S2 of Silo I have decided to jump straight into S1 of Severance, and damn these Apple TV 'S' shows are annoyingly good

Steam Next Fest has finally figured out how to market to me properly

Okay Tape 1 of Lost Records was wonderful, what an interesting way to tell a story. I love these characters. I am extremely on board. As a long time Dontnod fan though I am extremely confused about why everyone rioted over "hella" but I have seen zero discourse about "geez-o"

So much to say about Avowed. Mostly you can just listen to me rant about the spiders again (and ignore Matt when he explains why the spiders make sense, actually)

Ahh, there's nothing like sitting in a meeting watching someone say "it's just about communication! We all just have to communicate better!" over someone actively speaking to really illustrate a problem

Well, today I semi-accidentally spent the afternoon in a crowd being taught a line dance by Jojo Siwa. Gotta love Fair Day. Amazing vibes. Happy beginning of Mardi Gras to all who celebrate 💖🏳️‍🌈

Really thought I'd always be a person who would feel neutral at worst towards Valentine's Day, but wow yeah it really CAN just make you wanna rocket yourself into the sun, huh?

So, I loved so much about Avowed. I really did. It made me reflect on and second-guess every single action I took, and the writing was truly excellent. I just really, really need games to stop relying on spiders as their primary enemy.

the first time you play Katamari Damacy is a little like the first time you stick your arm out the window of a moving car and feel the wind on your fingers

Started watching Apple Cider Vinegar (extremely my shit) and did not expect it to include so much of the cast of Dance Academy?

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist. Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

I want so badly to do the 'four [name]-coded characters' thing that is going around but am going to have a mini crisis about it for an undetermined amount of time before choosing, as is the way with these things. What if I choose an imperfect answer to this completely subjective pointless question??

I've been listening to the audiobook of 'It Gets Better... Except When It Gets Worse' by @nicoleamaines.bsky.social and a) she is extremely cool and listening to her reading it is pure joy and the best experience and also b) anyone who is part of ANY fandom should absolutely read/listen to it

Trans rights are human rights, because if one person isn’t free to be who they are, then none of us are free. The fascists will get around to you eventually.

This was tough! Shout out to South of Midnight, and Date Everything, who so nearly made the list!
