i had to go get my laptop repaired recently and it cost me £230. i'm fine but it was a real "ooou yeeouch!!" kind of cost that ate up like a quarter of my bank. basically this is not at all Urgent but it does feel like a good time to be like "oh yeah i have a ko-fi btw".

Here's 90 seconds of REVOLUTION FANTASY, which I've been working on discreetly for the last few years. It's built on the bones of Tenderfoot Tactics, in Godot. This is a sandbox combat that I'm using to design skills and progression. Expect me to post a lot more about RF from here on out!

It's really refreshing seeing shitey normal working class life depicted like this in a game, and a Silent Hill game no less. Pebble-dashed council flats, three-bar fires, Post Office counters, concrete shopping precincts. This must be how posh people felt playing Everybody's Gone to the Rapture.

A Post Office (well, 'Post Service') counter.

IGN Creators Guild @ignunion.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

We are tired of posting statements like these.

Today was an awful day at IGN. We were blindsided by the layoff of four union members and many more people across the organization who contributed years of their careers to making IGN an unparalleled voice in games and entertainment.

With each successive layoff, core parts of IGN’s operation continue to be stripped away. Today, IGN has decided to do away with many of our talented producers, editors, hosts, and other crucial roles, both within and out of the union. How many layoffs will occur before we no longer recognize the company we work for and the content that we make?

While we recognize the challenges the media industry is facing as a whole, it is difficult to understand how laying off valuable employees better positions us to meet those challenges. In turn, remaining employees bear additional workloads worsened by anxiety over the ever-looming threat of another layoff.

We are devastated, angry, and heartbroken for our colleagues.
