iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Always thought I'd have a full head of hair well into old age, given my dad hasn't lost any of his yet. But every shower I have now, I'm losing like a handful of hair. Is it just stress, or is it over for me?

Every year, I keep a 'running document' for all my Gamescom bits - notes, interviews, write-ups that eventually make it into the CMS and onto the site. By no means written everything up yet, somehow, but current total stands at 13k words. Who needs NaNoWriMo?

If I get to my 4.30 yoga class on a Thurs, I get to swing by the nearby bakery and pick up their discounted end-of-day goods. Usually means a loaf of sourdough for £2. Anyway, breakfast this morning

Not a full, scored review because I think you need Horde and PvP for that, but in the meantime please enjoy this strapline that I am very proud of www.eurogamer.net/gears-of-war...

I spoke to several sources working hard at The Coalition, who have experienced increased anxiety around layoffs and promised Metacritic bonuses since Xbox's Reset. The sudden cut of story director Juan Vaca only fueled these fears. Read it below!

An excellet report here from @connormakar.bsky.social on the brewing situation at Gears studio The Coalition, where - unsurprisingly - there seems to be rapidly vanishing trust between developers (who have been "crunching hard") and their parent company.

Looking for an audiobook; ideally fantasy or sci-fi, after something from a Japanese author (but not a straight guy). Any recs? Google has basically become unusable at this point and my reddit account just got banned because I went to town on a terf

#186 Politoed! "The curled hair on POLITOED’s head is proof of its status as a king. It is said that the longer and more curled the hair, the more respect this POKéMON earns from its peers."

A politoed stands on a rock before a pond full of poliwag, poliwrath, and another politoed. Hidden behind the first toad is a bulbasaur, extending a vine to present the illusion that politoed has a massive curl of hair upon its head rather than the pretty normal one it actually has. Most of the audience is wowed, but the other politoed is suspicious.

You can now watch one of this year's best orchestral game-music performances, celebrating Hades 1 and 2, online for free www.eurogamer.net/watch-hades-...

Close-up of an anime-style young woman with one pink eye, one blue, a leafy garland in her hair, and magic swirling all around her. It's Melinoe from the game series Hades.

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.

Regular reminder that JG Ballard’s final novel, “Kingdom Come” (2006), is about a far-right English town which creates their own militarised breakaway state in a shopping mall, where they worship the gods of St George and consumerism. Old JG wrote it as tongue-in-cheek satire. At the time.

The rule of Fire Emblem is that if you have a child soldier, put them in as much danger as possible until they become an unstoppable killing machine.

Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave does this weird snowball thing where it gets better and better the more you play By the fourth path, the parabolic improvements are out of this world and the game just blazes by. Its weaknesses are offset by its strengths, and then some, IMO

This is spectacular, folks. We live in a moment in American history when the president and his administration are so racist and dumb that a toy company has to put out a statement saying: "OUR GIANT ROBOT THAT TURNS INTO A TRUCK DENOUNCES RACISM AND HAS NO CONNECTION TO THE CURRENT PRESIDENT."
