Tickets are moving *slowly* for this. Which is fine. I'm not expecting it to sell out. But it'd be really nice to get a few more bums on seats between now and Oct 14. It'll be good, promise! Brighton game likers/devs, please share, tell yr pals, think positive thoughts, thank you.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.

Wouldn't it be nice if shitty, harmful, dangerous men in games media were kicked out of the industry instead of being constantly hired, promoted, and revered until they're exposed. Wouldn't it be even nicer if this post couldn't be relevant at any time during game journalism's existence.

A few normally responsive editors have failed to reply to me lately. While I'm not discounting the possibility/likelihood that my pitches are too poor to justify spending ten seconds on a polite "no thanks", I'm curious whether the volume of genAI pitches clogging up inboxes is getting any worse?

I'm excited to play Silent Hill Townfall, but probably won't until next week due to a need to play [redacted]. What I'd love to see - and I hope somebody does this - is an interview-led feature about capturing a 1980s/90s era UK. I know it's set in Scotland, but it could be the Kent I grew up in.

I can't help but feel that if a terrorist group that centred Islam was sending masked men into the street and attacking emergency service workers, the government would leap into action instantly and the religious aspect would be front and centre in every news report.

(From Wikipedia)

Christian faith has become part of [Daniel] Thomas' public persona. He was photographed at St Lawrence Church, Morden in February and March 2026, and has said "I have repented my sins and, under Jesus Christ, I am a new man".

(from Wikipedia)

[Daniel] Thomas has said that every member of Patriot Platform "is encouraged to give their life to Jesus [and] go to church".

Thanks to the "legitimate concerns" paradigm, we have a national consensus that migrants (you know which specific ones) are a problem. More migrants = bad, fewer migrants = good. In that context, "anti-migrant protestor" isn't even neutral language to describe this fascist thug. It is *positive*.

The major problem with this reporting - beyond its fundamental inaccuracy - is that when arrests are eventually made there will be no proper context and therefore it will seem like the state is smothering free expression.
