There is something very funny to me that Slim Chicken's entire strategy for developing the chain in the UK (to take on KFC) seems to be "Have you heard about this exotic new thing called Toast?"

And that's me done for gamescom 2026. Always a great time, though I hope the Corkonian gods forgive me for not having visited properly this year. I'll try tonight before I fly back tomorrow.

Most important meeting of the day is about launch strategy. As in, how best to launch this into my mouth.

I’ll be running the @vgim.bsky.social business breakfast tomorrow, sponsored by the lovely @pxndigital.bsky.social team. It’s sold out, but I’m sure you can grab Ariel Pai, @agameofjoes.bsky.social, Harvey Elliott and Olly MacGowan for chats about publishing at the rest of the conference.

Also looking forward to being on @georgeosborn.bsky.social's VGIM breakfast panel tomorrow! Haven't done a panel since leaving media, so this is a personal win for me. #develop

Oh yeah I hate this. My kids stumbled across Salish Matters and as soon as we realised what it was we added it to the ban list

Well that's good because I don't want to build another PC from scratch haha. Ive done it twice in my life and I'm glad I did but now I CBA anymore

Well in the PC Gamer review of the machine they state you can get something with similar/slightly better specs for the same price, if not cheaper. www.pcgamer.com/hardware/gam...

pcgamer.com

I've tested the Steam machine—and at this price, I don't think it makes much sense

A major victim of the RAM crisis, and a real shame.

I bought my laptop in 2022 and it won't run some games now without shutting down from overheating. I'm really torn at what to do. I need something portable for work, I need something I can actually play PC Games on... even I was a bit like "I'd rather not pay that" :(

Last day of my annual pilgrimage to UK Games Expo. Spent far too much money and played many cool games.

Yeah my mate said it was dumb fun and recommended but I didn't like the pacing and then when tsubasa was dealt with I kinda just didn't care. Spent two seasons fixating on one pointless feud.

I mean, looking at who might replace him, I don't know if I actually want him to go, I just want him to pull his finger out and do a better job.

Joe Robinson @agameofjoes.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

I helped do the PR campaign for this one! If you're interested in firms trying to fix funding for game devs, you'll want to pay attention.

Honestly most nights I'm kind of just lying on the floor so I'm right with you on "not much"
