This was amazing to do. I grew up with WipEout so it's a full-circle thing here for me. All the thanks to Glen for taking the time to chat to me.

I now have a Patreon! I'd love to build a community of people who love old retro gaming setups and keep making stuff for people to enjoy. If you love old consoles, CRT TVs, and hate that social media is dominated by AI slop setups, then I have you covered. www.patreon.com/flipsatan/po...

Hi, I am Flip! I've been writing about video games, tinkering with retro consoles, and getting up to nonsense for a long time now. By day,

It’s fair to say this idea did not work out 😅 Fun to do regardless! Video 3 will be all about a Tomb Raider book topic.

If I wasn’t tied up in book stuff on the day I’d be here. Sounds like a great time.

Some more Future layoffs today. Sympathies to all affected - and who have been putting up with this shit, especially via Slack.

I tried to do this at TechRadar and the other site. It mostly worked out. The times it didn’t was beyond my control and - oh boy.

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Summary
Companies
• Anthropic IPO could value the company at more than $2
trillion
• Anthropic lost $42 billion in 2025
• Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year
• Operating loss widened to $8.06 billion in 2025 from $2.98 billion in 2024
• Execs, industry analysts have expressed concerns over harms of Al tech
Sept 28 (Reuters) - Anthropic is making a massive bet that Al will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet, according to its IPO prospectus seen by Reuters.
But the cost to get there will be staggering. Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the
prospectus.

Thanks man - I just found it funny! Yeah, and the tweaking of the displays and emulators should be long gone now. The casual users don’t want to do that out of the box.

Another video! I also talk about how the upcoming book has a link to this one - but this mainly covers how I approached Bosses and the interviews that made it in.

This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.

Had to take a slight backseat to pitching until November, as there's a certain book that's taking up most of my time. If you haven't pre-ordered it yet - why not! www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/The-Making-o...

Some details on how I'm approaching video, starting with how I made 'The Making of Tomb Raider: 1997-2000'. darylbaxter.com/posts/making...

Video: How 'The Making of Tomb Raider: 1997-2000' Began

From deciding that it'd be a follow-up to the 2021 book, to the front cover.

It's wild the amount of posts I've seen saying how Meta's VR headset is incredible. Have many already forgotten the damage that the company is doing in regard to privacy, AI, and much much more?
