Folks at #TGS #TokyoGameShow … Has anyone seen any video game vinyl stands? I walked most of the halls but haven’t seen any yet. I absolutely adore video game vinyl and would love to hear if anyone has seen any here at TGS.

If you’ve seen the finale of #Silo season three, I have a question… what were they doing with all the light bulbs!!! @hughhowey.com I remember them counting them, in the books, but was their an explanation of what they were doing with all the stolen light bulbs!

@lostincult.co.uk @toadsanime.lostincult.co.uk Hey folks, do you have any plans to re-run the Tunic LPs at all? Absolutely, 100%, asking for me! Video game vinyl lover, and proud of it.

I feel like @pantaloon.io have seen my Steam library before… Great opening to an email btw! Memborable, eye catching and starts a conversation!! Well done again!!

An email from “Pantaloon at PressEngine”. The subject line reads “Your steam library belongs in a museum”

A great insight into what can capture the attention of a video games journalist. And shoutout to the @pantaloon.io team for creating a great bit of video games PR!

At @pressengine.net we've started pulling apart some of the Twitch data we injest, and we've come up with some interesting insights, paticularly week on week comparisons. Read the full post - www.linkedin.com/posts/collin... #pressengine #twitch #indiegames #PRAGMATA #Windrose #ARCRaiders

This image shows a declining line graph of ARC Raiders streams by week, starting at 319k, briefly rising to 344k, then sliding down to the last number which is 124k.

This image features three games.

Windrose, a strong debut at #26.
Phasmophobia, in top 50 since Week 1, 2026
PRAGMATA, debuts at #31.

Bluesky, I need some help. Should I play Mouse PI, Crimson Desert or Pragmata… Which have you played and enjoyed? Or is there something else I should add to my list? #videogames #gaming

Is it only me or has tonight’s #saintsfc game got 0-0 written all over it.

Phil Collins @fatherfil.bsky.social · 29/12/2025

Second game in a row for #saintsfc where we just don’t look interested. Every flick, every challenge, every pass, just seems half-hearted. Stephens looks like he’d rather be anywhere else other than on the pitch.

Phil Collins @fatherfil.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

We love games, we love playing them, we love seeing others enjoy them.. and above all, we love celebrating indie devs. This isn't a paid advert, this isn't a paid boost for the client - it's just because we love the game and that love turned into a conversation about a background image. ❤️❤️

It was a painful number to see, and the industry is worse for the loss of so many talented people.

Bin the lot. The team, the manager, the board. We’d lose less games if we put Sammy Saint on the bloody pitch. This lot have not got a clue. #saintsfc

I really don’t see us winning any more games this season. We’re dreadful. #saintsfc

OMG someone made a mistake with a NES cartridge in a SNES. ALL THE MEDIA MUST WRITE! (Sarcasm) What is it with the fascination of negative articles in the video game industry. Shock and fake outrage is what this industry has become. Can't we just celebrate the boom in retro gaming?

Phil Collins @fatherfil.bsky.social · 11/07/2025

Really thankful to @behavingbeardly.bsky.social for letting me do commentary on the @sotfest.bsky.social football match! I had an absolute blast! Thank you all the kind comments in chat!!

Grabbed a couple of hours to play some Steam Next Fest last night - only got as far as #HotelArchitect from @wiredproductions.com and #NiceDayForFishing from @vivaladirtleague.bsky.social and @team17.com ! Both amazing games! Definitely worth your time.
