Ha ha, I had a similar feeling when I was on a Zoom call with a few people from the Immortality cast - these *ridiculously* good looking actors and then this one weird goblin in the corner. (You look fine here FWIW, but I totally get it.)

I've been mulling over this for a while, but if you're a game journo who has worked under Valnet and want to confidentially share your views on how the company is managing its publications and treating workers, I am all ears. Signal: kerrblimey.43 Email: chris.kerr@verticalslice.news DMs open

Well. That's me gone from TheGamer too. Six years of service, and I was at least given the dignity of it ending in a phone call. Right after dealing with weeks of institutionalized misogyny too! Thought things might be getting better So. Uh. Looking for work now I guess!

I stayed at a hotel near the Nintendo Museum and found a guestbook, so I drew something in it. Everyone there was incredibly kind and welcoming. It became a wonderful memory for me. I’m truly grateful to them—and to Nintendo for making this experience possible.

Been teaching myself Unreal and built this moody office scene while learning the basics of lighting, VFX, camera control, animation, cinematics, and blueprints. Wanted to make it feel convincingly cluttered and lived-in, which involved placing 600+ props by hand. Sound up for maximum atmosphere.

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is one of the best damn puzzle games I've played, the pitch I'd give is, imagine a Survival Horror game, but everything is puzzles. It's a wonderfully stylish experience, I absolutely can't recommend it highly enough.

The stage is set. Imagine an old baroque manor, perhaps a hotel or a museum, somewhere in central Europe. A woman wanders in search of answers.

Immensely proud to get my copy of this today. 32 unique horror stories by 31 amazing women and little ol’ me. Out on the 15th, pre-orders up now! UK: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/fear... / www.waterstones.com/book/fear/sa... IRL: www.easons.com/fear-sam-bla... / www.dubraybooks.ie/product/fear...
My hand holding up a paperback copy of anthology book FEAR. The title is in red text on a black background on the lower half of the cover, which dissolves into silhouettes of birds in flight against a white background at the top of the cover

For no apparent reason my brain just reminded me of the time I wrote a review I was pleased with (a rarity!) and someone replied solely to point out a tiny factual flub and I spent an entire weekend wondering whether or not to email my editor to fix it because I didn't want to seem crap and useless.

Entirely possible. Damon is one of the great balladists, though, I reckon (even though I sense he'd prefer not to be known for that)

I still believe Country House's wonky guitar solo is Graham trying his absolute best to sabotage what was otherwise an obvious number one hit. (Fully agree with you, though I'd put Girls & Boys in the same category as those two.)

Probably a good thing that your average GMB viewer is being exposed to this kind of obvious hypocrisy, but also quietly damning that Kate Garraway has more nous than most political reporters to ask this kind of question
