For its 25th anniversary, I wrote about the GameCube - an underappreciated console that prompted unprecedented change within Nintendo. It was mocked at the time but it's remembered fondly now, an uncomplicated box of fun that appeared right when games were entering their 'performatively adult' stage

Small but mighty! Remembering the GameCube, Nintendo’s purple box of delights

The first console I ever bought, it was hyped as a threat to the PlayStation, then mocked as a flop. But now, as it marks its 25th anniversary, it’s looked back on with misty-eyed reverence

Sony saw "phys-" and didn't bother to read the rest of the word, they just knew they needed out ASAP.

#NoDiscNoBuy 's #PlayStationBlackout begins tomorrow, 8/23 - 8/30. As far as actually purchasing, I haven't bought anything since Sony's discless (or rather dickless imo) announcement. If I can do that, you can! Logging off is easy, but turning the whole system off? Well... do what you can.

The most frightening bits of the recent Silent Hill Townfall gameplay trailer are: 1. Simon picking up a letter when entering the Ellis home that is clearly a debt/arrears/late payment reminder of sorts (a bill definitely) & 2. having to crawl to get to a non-smart electricity meter that's run out.

playstation going digital only isn’t just about access, preservation, ownership - it’s also about the haptic whimsy and romance of ordering a game, holding it in your hands, passing it on to a friend, resting it on your shelf any digital only future is soulless #physicalforever #playstation

Quite enjoyed the first two episodes of Richard Gadd's new show HALF MAN is alright but the only discourse I have seen online is proclaiming it as a masterpiece and how Gadd is some sort of visionary - I actually think it's quite basic and misguided.
