From the brilliant @asherperlman.bsky.social Doesn't resonate with me at all, of course....

My only contribution to the Crimson Desert discourse is this clip of me being beaten up by an invisible person then dragged repeatedly through a table because I cheated at gambling. It is buggy as hell.

Back home from *the* most insane press trip I’ve ever been on. Still feels like a fever dream. Words (on the game, not the trip) coming to @polygon.com at the end of the month.

Very late to the party but whew, A Short Hike. What a lovely little game!

No surprises, called it when it was delayed. Lots of chatter around them being obligated to release a game annually which was always just hearsay. Can't say I'm disappointed either, but FM26 has a *lot* of living up to do.

A reminder that I have a Google Calendar with (almost) every upcoming video game release I can find, and I’ve just given it a huge update covering the next few months. DM me your email if you’d like to be added to it!

Bluesky needs the profile balloons on your birthday like Twitter has. Possibly the only pro for keeping Twitter. In other news, happy birthday to me 🥳 life starts at 29, they say

Finally hopped on the Balatro train today and pressed discard by mistake instead of play hand. Not gonna make that mistake again 💀

I am so fucking ready for The Witcher 4. That’s gonna be a proper book a week off work sort of game. Well, it would be if I had a different occupation.

It's finally done. I can play another video game at last.

I haven’t played a video game properly for a while now, but I am so looking forward to picking something up over the Christmas break. I’m still yet to play Balatro so I think that’s a must, but I also need to play Spider-Man 2 finally, revisit Dragon’s Dogma 2, Star Wars Outlaws is staring at me…

Would any mutuals like to be added to a Google Calendar I have with basically every confirmed video game (and major DLC) release date? Updated monthly, includes every AAA and interesting indie I can find. DM me your email if you do! Example of next week in the image below.

Hey new folks 👋 I’ve been fairly quiet on here recently as I’ve dialled back my social media use generally (and I am still, much to my dismay, using Twitter infrequently) but I’ll be making an effort here more. TL;DR: I’m a freelance games journo. Shout if you need guides/reviews (including mocks)!

For those who are also looking to wean themselves away from Twitter, I've put together a UK games media (and pals) starter pack for those who have joined Bluesky. You can follow all or select who you like from this list: go.bsky.app/PNz1auy

Editors! There are a few opps coming up I would love to cover for your site, if you’re looking for freelance help. - MW3 - I’ve been playing COD for over 15 years (some years a lot more than others!) and am keen to review MW3. Have reviewed a number of previous COD games.

Ford James @fordjames.bsky.social · 20/09/2023

Haven’t reviewed it, but have been playing Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty for guides - it is quality. I only wish I had the time to start a whole new playthrough with the 2.0 changes, because the new perks system allows for some very specialised builds. Also Idris Elba is brill.

Ford James @fordjames.bsky.social · 22/08/2023

I’m back at my desk this week and while I have some work from mid-Sept, my slate is currently free for the next few weeks. Editors, if you need any Starfield guides (or other SEO-led work - I can write about pretty much any topic!), please get in touch at fordfjames@gmail.com.
