Sorry guys, @edgemagazine.bsky.social can only release about 6 more issues before my shelf is completely full… And that’s with the special issues and coverage variants living in the cupboards

Likewise, it was a pleasure as always

Had a fantastic time at @gameanglia.bsky.social last night. Sadly couldn’t make it to the main event today, because magazine deadlines, but had lots of great, insightful discussions! And no, that isn’t Keir Starmer

I remember as a kid, someone told me that Dr Robotnik was a guy named Nick, who was a robot. Dr Robot Nick. It made sense at the time.

I accidentally got enough sleep last night. Sorry, I won’t let it happen again.

The next FOUR covers for @debugmag.com have been confirmed, designed, and finalised. The fifth one is going to blow minds. We’ve had a stressful first half of the year, but it looks like things are falling into place for Q4 🥰

This is something that we wouldn’t have even called AI a few years ago. It was just “speech synthesis” or simply TTS. Really no different from Siri, the TikTok voices, etc. Real humans paid for their performances, which are then modulated after the fact.

I’m really tempted to visit Australia for the first time soon. PAX is calling my name!

I just bought my second Switch 2 game of the year. Orbitals. With my own money. Will be reviewing it for the October issue of @debugmag.com with a special focus on the art direction. It looks amazing! One of the huge benefits of print media is the ability to show off high quality visuals 🥰

I’ve finally found enough Red Bull to get the next couple of @debugmag.com issues finished.

I’ve just seen that someone who’s game I quite liked has blocked us because we didn’t cover it… yet… We were going to, when the time was right 😭

Mmm… Microplastics. Delicious

I’ve been wondering exactly this question for a while now. Thanks for doing these interviews, very interesting indeed

Daniel Crocker @danielcrocker.uk · 15/08/2026

Don’t worry, the other 50-something boxes were fine 😊

Daniel Crocker @danielcrocker.uk · 15/08/2026

We finally did a Bisexual Lighting issue of @debugmag.com - Apparently that’s a thing. I’m ok with it.

Daniel Crocker @danielcrocker.uk · 15/08/2026

Well, that’s disappointing…

A badly damaged box of magazines. The magazine visible inside is folded.

We were half way through doing a story about a game, and the entire team have just been laid off. I wish I could say this was an uncommon situation, but it’s happened a few times lately!

Daniel Crocker @danielcrocker.uk · 14/08/2026

So, that emergency alert… I can’t help but wonder if it outed any vulnerable folks’ hidden phones. Given how it ignores volume / silent mode.

Does anyone know who took photos for the features in early EDGE issues? Presumably it was multiple people, but they were never credited back then.

I’m heading to the shop now to buy a giant bag of those frozen Itsu gyoza because of this interaction. It’s been on my mind for hours

Daniel Crocker @danielcrocker.uk · 03/08/2026

I could definitely live happily on just gyozas for the rest of my life

Daniel Crocker @danielcrocker.uk · 03/08/2026

Not even a crazy idea, given how almost everything comes to PC first these days anyway

This BBC article was nice to wake up to this morning! All photos were taken at our recent Indie Showcase (part of NottsVGE) in Nottingham, and @debugmag.com events manager Alex Hunt is quoted about the importance of championing indies. I truly love that we can continue to host these showcases 🥰

Man… I was finally going to get around to buying a Series X. Don’t think I’ll bother now

I like this a lot. Clean and effective!

Tried booking an Airbnb recently. Quite a few of the listings feature AI “cleaned up” photos

Probably be a lot more fun that way, but also quite a bit further for me (in the UK) to travel

Tapeworm: Disco Puzzle, hands down my favourite Playdate game. If you like the genre, you’ll love it

Looking for starter kits, lists, or straight up recommendations for video games PR folks. We recently went monthly with @debugmag.com and I want to cover as many great games as possible. All regions and languages considered!

Couldn’t agree more. Personally, I’ve struggled to get work done for most of this month so I’m very much done with the heat now

Daniel Crocker @danielcrocker.uk · 30/07/2026

I live on the coast, where good weather = tourism, so I can understand it being appreciated here. Anywhere else though…
