Do I know anyone in Birmingham or nearby who is looking for a new cat? @mattkamen.bsky.social has rescued a lovely little cat, but his existing one doesn't like sharing her space, so we need to find it a home ASAP.

Birmingham UK folks! Can anyone take in this sweet young girl I rescued last night? My own cat is very territorial, so I can't keep her, and I've had no luck contacting shelters so far, but she's incredibly affectionate and needs a loving home! #CatRescue #Cats #AdoptDontShop

Just saw Coyote vs Acme - an absolutely hilarious, joyful movie. Warner Bros was utterly deranged to try to bury it. See it in cinemas while you can! youtu.be/H-43VeYGiPM

Random musing: is it possible to launch a pop culture/media podcast in 2026 that's *just* a podcast? As in, not published alongside a livestreamed recording, or YouTube video upload of the panelists, or supported with endless video clips on TikTok/Insta?

Does anyone happen to have any leads on any Java Software Engineering roles? 🙏 My partner lost his job, and has fallen into a very dark mental health spiral. It's a very, very bleak and tough time at home right now. Getting him back to work could literally be a lifesaver.

Ten years today since the fetid Brexit referendum, a project brought about by racist, xenophobic zealots that has broken the UK. A wasted decade. A DECADE. For nothing. Hopefully we'll rejoin before another decade is lost to it.

And we're back to #GearsofWarEDay for an extended BTS/developer direct. Hopefully something here will impress me more than the earlier gameplay showcase. #xboxgamesshowcase

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Matt Booty up to talk the new #CallofDutyDMZ I... really struggle to care about Call of Duty. The North Korean setting could be interesting, I guess? #xboxgamesshowcase

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

If this weren't Activision, I'd swear whatever this is was a new Dishonored game... #xboxgamesshowcase

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Heyyyy, Spyro's back! #SpyroARealmBeyond - looks like a fun platformer. Out Spring 2027 #xboxgamesshowcase

000

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Another World Premiere, and another Atlus game - #Persona6?! Moody, darker vibes. Gravestones, slow tracking shots, etc. Not date, but the long rumoured green colour theming tracks! Very excited - this WILL get another 120 hours out of me, minimum! #xboxgamesshowcase

090

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

#Vivarium - This is VERY Studio Ghibli inspired. Maybe actually even earlier TV anime. Out 2027 #xboxgamesshowcase

000

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Ooh, a new #CastlevaniaBelmontsCurse, returning to the 2D Metroidvania roots! Not in love with the animation style at a glance, but looks good. And is that Mark Hamill in the cast? 15th October 2026 #xboxgamesshowcase

011

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Onto #WhereWindsMeet. I'm getting Wo Long meets Crimson Desert vibes from this. #xboxgamesshowcase

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Guessing this is an expansion for #MicrosoftFlightSim. Tour of some of the USA's most beautiful natural wonders. Almost like the country has an anniversary or something. Out on 4th July for... some reason. #xboxgamesshowcase

000

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

New Thieves Guild expansion for #ElderScrollsOnline. 8th July, one for the MMO fans. #xboxgamesshowcase

000

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Now #ValorMortis. Lovely steampunk horror mix here. Gameplay appears faaaairly familiar though. 24th September, so out rather soon! #xboxgamesshowcase

000

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

World premiere trailer for #MagicianTheDevilsDeal Lovely shadow puppet look to the cinematic, doesn't appear to be part of the game though. I'm interested though! Out 2027 #xboxgamesshowcase

000

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Oh, nice - translucent Xbox Series X 25th anniversary model, in classic translucent shell. November launch. #xboxgamesshowcase

000

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Holy shit #CrazyTaxi! With The Offspring soundtrack again! #CrazyTaxiWorldTour, out 2027. Cannot wait! #xboxgamesshowcase

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

More from Bethesda. #DoomDarkAges2, I'm guessing. Looks suitably like an '80s metal album cover, at least. #xboxgamesshowcase

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Oh @bethesda.net, don't tease us with trailers for #Fallout76 when everyone reaaaaaally wants a #Fallout5 reveal. Still, for '76 players, the Infestations update is live now. #xboxgamesshowcase

000

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Oh hell yes, a new Senua game! #Senua - no "Hellblade" this time. Love this series, linear as the earlier games have been. Out 2027. #xboxgamesshowcase

000

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Build your own cult in Join Us, March 2027. Single player or co-op. If this was by Ubisoft, I'd think it was a prequel to #FarCry5 #xboxgamesshowcase

000

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Another world premiere - first gameplay look at Koei Tecmo's #WoLong2 Wings Of Ember. Enjoyed the first one, this looks pretty solid too. Early 2027, no date. #xboxgamesshowcase

000

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

A "World Premiere" trailer now for... #BadMagpie, a very cute looking indie-ish game where you control a blue bird. Looks like a mix of Untitled Goose Game and a... vaguely apocalyptic setting? #xboxgamesshowcase

000

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

That'll be #Metro2039 looking very impressive, there. Out February 2027, multiplatform #xboxgamesshowcase

000

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Very pointed shoutout for #Metro being "proudly made in Ukraine". It's honestly heroic that studios there are still putting out games of this calibre in the midst of a war. #xboxgamesshowcase

000

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

#SeaofThieves up now, with its "Custom Seas" update. Looks like a way to turn the game into a bit of a #Roblox style platform. Not for me, but I'm sure it'll find its audience - looks great for those into it. 18th June. #xboxgamesshowcase

000

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Yup, #StateOfDecay3. More shooty-shooty zom-zom though. Honestly nothing grabbing me there. #xboxgamesshowcase

000

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Zombies? Undead Labs? This is going to be another #StateofDecay, isn't it? #xboxgamesshowcase

000

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

The #Persona4Golden remake #Persona4Revival! No surprise at this point, but looks great. Not sure I can give another 120 odd hours to this game though... Out 18 Feb 2027 #xboxgamesshowcase

000

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Asobo Studios up next with #Resonance #PlagueTaleLegacy Looks VERY gory, violent, and much more action packed than the first two. Gorgeous though! Out August 27, 2026 #xboxgamesshowcase

000

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Now #HaloCampaignEvolved, with three prequel missions, set one year before "the ring". Out July. Day One on Game Pass. #xboxgamesshowcase

000

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Next up, Playground Games' new #Fable, focusing on "Isabel: Hero of Wraithsmarsh" - looks like a solid fantasy action outing. Very cinematic, great voice acting. Return to form? Feb 23, 2027 release confirmed #xboxgamesshowcase

000

Matt Kamen @mattkamen.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Going to do a live skeet-along for #xboxgamesshowcase - haven't done one for a livestream in a LONG while, but hell, it's a pleasant Sunday evening here, and I don't have much else to do, so why not? Opening with a long gameplay showcase for #GearsofWarEDay, which looks very pretty...

At the wonderful #BAFTAGamesInConcert in Birmingham tonight - phenomenal production, blending a full orchestra, live vocals, video, and game footage!

I'm sure most of you know about this bastard thing already but I'd missed it. Just in case you have also been living under a rock here's some info about Microsoft using AI in Windows 11 and how to turn it off (because, of course, it's on by default).
