Had a very stressful start to my day that simply wouldn’t have been an issue if the UK was still in the EU 🙃

Use of AI taints everything else around it. For instance, the more I look at this Tomb Raider salad, the more I wonder if this was an AI asset that won’t end up in the final game. Someone could have made it, but it just looks uncanny to me now I know they used it *somewhere*.

Please someone teach Silicon Valley what being ill is, and that notifications like this are the least helpful thing ever when you’re feeling sick lol

So much of gaming is funded by casual players who buy a couple of games a year at MOST, or folks who only invest/upgrade when there’s the ONE game they wanna buy. So many people will be replying “lol” and “blame AI” to friends this next couple of months.

Came to Gamescom, got sick 2 days into my stay, spent the next 2 days in a hotel room unable to eat anything except salted crackers. Thanks for having me, Cologne. 👋

Finding out just how many games revealed at Opening Night Live used gen AI in their development is disappointing but unsurprising.

Having my phone scream at me to not use a crappy disposable BBQ, while our gov continues to give a thumbs up to water-wasting AI 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Is putting on Lofi Girl, turning the sound up because you can’t hear a thing, then being punched in the ear by a calm hip-hop beat because actually you just turned on the stream between songs a universal experience? Because that happens to me every time and I’ve still not learnt from it.

As someone who grew up with the massive privilege of cheap last minute theatre tickets in London, and then saw how eye-wateringly expensive Broadway tickets are when I went in 2023, this is brilliant.

Err, bit early to call the Clacton seat seeing as voting only just started, Bluesky… do you know something we don’t or is it just your terrible AI summaries? 🙃 #binforthewin

Screenshot of the Trending topics on Bluesky.
Number 1 reads: “Farage wins Clacton seat
Count Binface also stood; Reform UK's biggest donor faces scrutiny over Kremlin ties.” The vote only started this morning.

I genuinely don’t know what to write. I’ve tried multiple pithy comments but they all feel hollow. I’m just tired of obvious weirdos and arseholes having thriving careers despite clearly being awful to women & girls, having multiple allegations over decades. I’m sick of it.

Cheers to such positive feedback to the latest Oxtra vid. I think physical media is so important, and I hope the industry realises that before we lose it forever.

Yesterday I found out that one of my best mates from school had never seen (or read) past film 1 of Twilight, and so I got to explain werewolf imprinting to her and her husband and their reactions were EVERYTHING.

Not watched much of the World Cup this year thanks to my feelings on Fifa and one of the hosts. Just switched on to see Spain get the cup. Watching the wind immediately come out of Trump’s sails when the whole stadium started booing as he walked on the pitch was delightful 👩🏻‍🍳🤌💋

I hide in the bushes, covered in muck to mask my scent from the wolves who have relentlessly tracked me for days. One wanders into the clearing before me. Front paws extend, hind stays up. The words escape before I can stop them. “Biiiiiig stretch.” The hunt finally ends.

Not only was this man a fab actor with iconic roles, and generally a lovely thoughtful person going by stories shared about him, but when he started his wine business, he initially focused on Pinot Noir, aka the best wine. Man had taste. I’m so sad to hear he’s gone. 💜🍇🦕

Weather app showing that London temperatures will be pleasant this week, but warm up from the weekend again to around 30 degrees centigrade with no cool evenings.

Err…okay my brain is melted and I can’t sleep and this story has prev made me laugh but isn’t this a tourist attraction? A public green space? Isn’t this place designed for people to just hang around? To take time to, you know, reflect?? The reflection isn’t good for multiple reasons right now.

As someone who used to work in HMV, primarily in the games section, I can safely say that customer service people are going to bear the brunt of people being mad about there not being a disc, or not being able to actually play the game before the 19th. This will have to be explained so many times 🙃

I was brave and saw Obsession on my own tonight. I did spent half the film with my ears covered because of how heavily it relies on VERY LOUD MUSIC AND STINGS OMG, but ultimately think it’s a great film.

I’m not excited about this World Cup. Just like I wasn’t excited about the last. I am however enjoying all the videos online of the Scottish fans being fun and enthusiastic and Americans being confused and delighted by it. What a joy 💜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Simply banning kids from social media, rather than enforcing sensible age-gating on certain sites and encouraging safer places for kids to go (a la Club Penguin, Habbo Hotel, NeoPets, etc.), is such a disservice to kids and gives a false sense of security to parents. Don’t ban, make spaces.
