Someone will kill the triple lock eventually, the question is whether it's now or a few years from now. I say get the generation that screwed the rest of the UK while they're still alive.

I have secondhand anxiety about how little charge is always left in Hal Jordan's Green Lantern ring. Pathetic.

I'm more excited to see Manhunter on the big screen in 20 mins than any new film I've seen this year. I'm buzzing.

I've bought all those old Castlevania games on Switch. Considering a hard pivot into becoming a Castlevania Guy in 2027.

That's Big Walk done. Was a pleasure powering through it with @alexboltonpr.bsky.social. Worthy of the hype. Enjoy these images of me in the game entirely out of context:

Why is Widow's Bay so good? I was a bit lukewarm on it after episode 1 but was won around so quickly. That tonal balancing act is somewhat miraculous.

Hugo Weaving is the only bad bit of casting they've ever done on Slow Horses. The man is in a different TV show.

Baffled by people getting mad at this list. If you're over 30, how do you still have the energy to get angry at a list feature? Is this your first time on the internet?

Maybe I was an above-average PR on reflection.

Now this last episode is done, I'm excited to go back to all the games I played for six hours this month and actually finish them. First up: my beloved Zero Company 🥰

In recent years, the media has quietly begun to change the way in which it writes about Bobby Kotick, the former CEO of Activision Blizzard. PMG investigates how Kotick used the threat of defamation to reshape his legacy in the games business, one article at a time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKwp...

I'm working on an article for @retrogamermag.bsky.social about the magic and influence of the early GTA games. If you're a game developer who wants to share their insights and fond memories of the series for the magazine, please get in touch! Let's talk about sniping the moon in Liberty City, etc.

Just booked a restaurant that serves something called 'deviled kidneys', which is what I'm going to be calling all my future hangovers.

Looking for someone who can do 90’s point-and-click style pixel art for a commission. Short notice but it’d need to be done in the next two weeks. Lemme know if that’s you, and share your portfolio please!

Something that dawned on me while playing Big Walk and Silent Hill: Townfall in the same week is that both their developers released their last games just before Covid in 2019 – and both of these games feel profoundly shaped by the pandemic, just in totally different ways.

Started watching Sky’s War Game last night where Michael Gove is the PM during the Russian attack and I’m afraid it is just very difficult to watch it without thinking of this, one of the great cartoons ever published

Bleak. Hope the staff land on their feet. Comic book websites used to be such a vibrant scene – these days I look at the Eisner nominations and search '[comic book name] reddit' if I want recommendations.

This show and its predecessor had the pieces on the board for five-star TV but never got there creatively. It was actually a bummer to watch them mess it up again with Born Again season 2.

Nice response to the latest Back Page episode. The interview episodes that work best are always the ones where folks engage with what the podcast is – I've become more selective with interviewees, mostly because if the person doesn't get what we're about it's just a bit funereal.

Resident Evil was an ideal Sunday night film. I don't think I've laughed that much at the pictures in about 10 years.

A world where a twist ending is repurposed as a video title. where a thing's climax has been removed, leaving an advertisment for the gap where it used to be. such things are commonplace in. the twilight zone
