Having been playing Zero Company for a while now, a mission or two a day, I think it's fantastic. The story is great, with characters I care about, and the tactical gameplay is by far my favourite in the genre so far. I'll talk about it in depth on this week's Tanked Up.

That GTA6 trailer was good. Great soundtrack; who knew they could get Cliff Richard for a product like this.

Very much looking forward to this, but I really should finish Ragnarok first, can't remember why I put it down with only a few hours to go.

It’s weird to be clearly living through exactly what was warned about with global warming and still have the concept treated as a future event or hypothetical.

It's the 10th anniversary of the dumbest moment in modern British history so let's celebrate some of the idiots who made it happen. First up ... Jacob Rees-Mogg and his promise of cheap food and wine... In fact food prices have increased some 12% as a direct result of Brexit (LSE) 1/5

Brexit will REDUCE food,
wine and clothes costs
by 20% - Rees-Mogg

Yes. If you're a bigot who wants to divide communities, a billionaire wanting to preserve your wealth or a "newspaper" that wants to preserve power: we're very sinister indeed. To everyone else: feels a lot like hope. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Canada have invited Omar Artan to referee in Vancouver. It needs to happen we have had far too much racism from the USA in this World Cup. Lets see some anti-racism.

Such blatant racism blocking a FIFA appointed Referee because he is African. If FIFA doesn't threaten to disqualify the USA it is racist too.

I've returned to FF7 Rebirth after remembering I didn't finish the final chapter. There's so much stuff to do in this game I've been completely distracted from progressing. It's good though.

My first run of Outpost was a success! Went in to do the contract to unlock Sekeguchi. Took it very slow and ran away from everything. Managed to fulfil the contract after bumbling about. Then used the guarded exfil to escape after, again, hiding until the last few seconds. A cowardly but safe run.

Nova_47 @nova47.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

Marathon continues to impress me. Just ran as a solo Assassin to get some dire marsh missions done I've been stuck on for ages and I encountered no one across the map. I was tense the entire time, moving from nu-cal truck to truck and exfiled with 5 mins to go. It was quiet but incredibly haunting.

More and more I think about companion apps for games. An app for BF6 to change loadouts, look at stats, or, space wizard forbid, Commander mode. For Marathon, changing loadouts, visiting the armoury, and viewing the codex. My limited gaming time means I'm sat in menus. If I've 5 minutes, hit the app

Okay. An important moment for us, if you’ll indulge me with a repost. It’s time to start the very first whisper of noise about our next game. It’s a mailing list! But it’s a mailing list that I’m hoping will be a bit different than what you’re used to. mailchi.mp/bithellgames...

I maintain that Tron is fucking cool. Ares was pretty good, and whilst it was a little lacking in its very quick story is a great starting point for future instalments to build off of. Hopefully it isn't a decade before the next one.

I'm all about a satisfying loop, which at times Marathon can frustrate on slightly, but it's very clear where I have gone wrong and can then improve on. It's drenched the game in style, aesthetically and in play. I imagine we're at odds time wise but if you ever want to squad up let's chat.

Nova_47 @nova47.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Having played rookie numbers of 12 hours in Marathon, and more like 10 playing outside of menus, it's getting all of my gaming time (this would be more like 40 to 60 a few years ago). This game is something else. I just wish I had some people to play with, randoms can be so incredibly hit and miss.

We should reconsider the term „energy crisis“ when speaking about the effects of the Iran war. This is very specifically a crisis of fossil fuels and their single point of failure. Fossil fuels are no longer synonymous with „energy“. We have other, better options.

Just had the best run in Marathon yet. Wiped all teams, and managed to complete two of our team's missions. Exfiled with a minute left. This game is wild.
