Hit Points by Nathan Brown @hitpoints.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Western triple-A is dying. Now what? A free one: newsletter.hitpoints.co/400-graveyar...
A paragraph of text from the newsletter Hit Points:

"The platform holders are similarly hosed, and the more they talk about competing with TikTok or PolyMarket, the more they fiddle in the margins with new structures or fun policies, the more nakedly aware of it they appear. They cannot make a catalogue play, go looking for the next Tokyo Jungle, Parappa or Keeper, because they’ve burned all their bridges and the indie scene has that stuff on lock regardless. They have tried to diversify over the years — Sony by mixing up its cinematic sad-dad line-up with a dozen live-service hamster wheels; Microsoft by buying everything in sight in the hope of locking us all into an industry-devouring subscription service — but players in both instances voted with their wallets and thumbs. Now we see the flogged corpse of Halo thrown desperately over the wall at Activision while Satya Nadella calls ten thousand layoffs “great to see”. We have whispers of a new Uncharted game from Naughty Dog that I will be lucky to play before I retire. We have, above all, two companies gearing up for a new generation of consoles that no one wants, or needs, or can even afford. If the rumour mill is right, and next-gen kicks off in 2028, I am increasingly convinced that the next PlayStation and Xbox will be the last of their line. Their spec sheets will read like suicide notes."

Unfortunately due to starting a new day job, I’m not at #NZGDC. FINE! Just go have fun and meet all sorts of great people without me, then!

#my9games This was harder than I thought. On another day, in a different mood, I might have added: Control, Hades, Streetfighter Alpha 3, Grim Fandango, Guitar Hero and a bunch of others.

If you think VAR is bad for #football, you should see what TMO is doing to #rugby. This SAF vs All Blacks game is like watching a rugby management sim being played by officials.

Rewatching #MrInbetween at the moment. Just an incredible tv show. Scott Ryan is terrifyingly believable as Ray -- one of the most intimidating TV characters I've ever seen.

Quick update for those waiting for the next Card Cricket Quest demo. It was supposed to release last week but I injured my wrist at the gym a couple of weeks ago, which made working on a computer pretty difficult! It should be out sometime this week! #madewithunity #indiedev #cricket

I dunno if #France will win this World Cup. Football is too unpredictable for those sorts of claims. But if there were a France A and a France B team, they would probably meet in the final. #FIFA #Football #Mbappe

Well, the RAMpocalypse is upon us. #Apple are raising the price of their products. A few weeks ago, I was looking at getting an 16" M5 Pro Macbook Pro (64GB, 2TB SSD). That would have cost $7,250 NZD. Now the same spec device will cost $8,999 NZD (approx. $5,100 USD). Thanks AI tech-bros. 🖕

I’m not sure it’s possible to win a World Cup with a keeper of Jordan Pickford’s quality. He makes lots of crazy saves he shouldn’t but doesn’t do better on the ones he should. (And his arms are too short). #fifa #ENGvCRO

Kane Williamson retires one game into the test #cricket series. Bit of a shock but wishing him the best. Definitely NZ’s greatest batter of all time. Wonder how how many test runs he’d have gotten if he got to play as many test as Kohli, Root or Smith.

I think I've realised what it is I dislike about AI summary features. It reads like the world's most boring person telling a really boring story. Or worse, a really boring person ruining a quite interesting story. (Spotify's 'About the song' is one of the worst offenders for this) #AI #Spotify
