Bluesky has really dropped off in the two years since my last search for an artist. This bot response, over and over again. I’ll only be replying to people who know how to think for themselves from now on.

“STALKER 2’s update can be considered the vision fully realised, warts-and-all, as GSC deliver the best version of an imperfect Ukraine that could only be built by a team who have been forced to navigate the very same in real life." Read my review: report.wand.com/reviews/s-t-...

Are you picking up Saros? If so, please consider grabbing my book, which released the same day! It features an in-depth interview with Gregory Louden of Housemarque, who talks all about Returnal. The perfect companion to a weekend of playing the new game!

A childhood dream has come true for me today. I’m now a published author. My book is available in all the bookshops I grew up visiting. I can’t explain the amount of times I’ve wondered if my name would ever be on those shelves alongside writers I admire and love. [....]

Excited for the Alien: Isolation 2 trailer? My book features an interview with director Alistair Hope, who breaks down how the first game succeeded after Colonial Marines failed. There's also a chapter on CM, with first-hand interviews from those who lived through the hell. Book out tomorrow!

Hell of a screenshot. Wish the game was just a walking simulator, as it gets messy when adding anything other than atmosphere. But damn, that screenshot.

Playing Chronos: The New Dawn at the moment. The game is really nice until it throws lots of enemies at you in one place. The slower sections are so much more impactful.

The subtle little change in controller vibration when you’re about to spin some sixes in CloverPit. So good!

Starter pack time? Would there be appetite for a starter pack on here for people who are working on comics that will release in 2026? A kind of promotion and networking device. The other pack has been so good this year. Let me know! #comics #indiecomics
