If you start Witcher 3 Remaster and the dialog audio sounds weird BEFORE MESSING WITH YOUR AUDIO SETTINGS : Have Geralt meditate super quick (less than an hour) and everything will sound normal. (Unfortunate audio bug that got through )

Two Point Museum is genuinely the best the series has ever been and sets the bar for the genre. Anyway, I'm beyond excited about next week's Theme Park update and hope it's clear R&D for what's next. (Zooseum was also pretty great, so I have no idea where they're actually going next.) 🎢

A big thanks to all the lovely folks in Dundee today for being lovely. Special thanks to @tonygowland.bsky.social and @kanaratron.bsky.social for helping me not get bored. And super special thanks to anyone who mistakenly asked me how I think the industry is going and had to politely nod after that.

Challenge accepted! Morning @marshdavies.bsky.social and @rossignol.bsky.social , I failed my charisma check to get on the boat 30 minutes before opening, but hope this shows my commitment on the next book for the gig (and the gag). 😁

If you’re at the Dundee thing and looking for a super quiet spot to chill and chat, highly recommend the Four Points Sheraton. @tonygowland.bsky.social and I are just chillin.

Hollaback if you're heading to Dundee tomorrow in prep for Friday's Scottish thing. (@tonygowland.bsky.social and I will be finding a quiet spot with comfy furniture to chill. I'll post when we find it.)

Hey, @rossignol.bsky.social / @marshdavies.bsky.social , been reading Gold Teeth around town today (dog won’t let me get any work done) and the villagers keep asking what I’m reading due to this striking design work. It’s very photogenic as well.

It's BAFTA season and I've noticed several UK devs do not have their games in the Best British category. I'mma stop you before your neurodivergency "buts" kick in. As someone who lost to fucking Forza (a wholly-owned American mega-franchise) you belong in there. You belong. Get in there!

Average folks don’t understand how much the physical game market changed in ten years. As someone with a front row seat, physical went from a surprisingly nice/obvious thing to do… to ratings boards, taxation changes, shipping costs and ultimately tariffs leaving only space for mega titles. 🥺

Huge congrats again to @marshdavies.bsky.social and @rossignol.bsky.social co. on Gold Teeth. The work here is absurd and makes me believe we can have good things actually. (Strongly recommend to any student of TTRPGs looking for strong examples of non-corporate developers.)

Gold Teeth is an absolute thing of beauty. Can’t wait to tuck in and set sail. Massive congrats to @rossignol.bsky.social and co. on pulling off such a challenging creative and logistical piece of art.

Looking forward to seeing folks in Dundee next week! If the adults who know the area could pick a lounge or nice lobby for Thursday night that would be canny (North East Definition)!

This was not the right move. (Even the Americans knew that! Come on.)

In all sincerity, the playtest feedback this weekend was incredible on Vampirium: 1997. 🩸 Mike has already implemented a ton of upgrades. Could not be happier on how it's all coming together and what the future looks like. Thank you again to all the playtesters!

Making my first jumper this autumn and wanted a fisherman’s rib style with a hoodie. This was apparently a tough ask, but my knitting teacher dug up this pattern pamphlet from (we’re guessing) 1950s? It has no copyright date anywhere.

I love how Canada becoming part of the EU discussion is happening the same year that Canada enters Eurovision for the first time. 🇨🇦 ❤️ 🇪🇺

Watching Brexit folks twist themselves in knots because how dare Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland leaders meet to discuss independence is just so yummy. What are you afraid of?

A huge thanks to all Vampirium 1997's playtesters!

There's a person w/ 97% of Vampirium 1997's playtest achievements (wow!). They can't get the last one, which is still possible, but is a player logic bug I have to take full responsibility for because I stupidly said to Mike, "It'd be cool if there was something in Zsombor's coffin." (I'm so sorry!)

Alexander Sliwinski @sliwinski.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

As I spend my day collating Vampirium 1997 feedback (again, this is all great!), the submissions that are giving me life are a bug that makes inanimate objects aware of your presence. The sentient knife was funny. The sentient fire extinguisher was a solid chuckle...but, but this was perfection...

Bug in Vampirium 1997 causing inanimate objects to be aware of your presence. In this example: "War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy is aware of my presence."

TEETH was a tome I enjoyed reading. And that world with a pirate setting I can’t wait to just tuck in with. Very excited.

Alexander Sliwinski @sliwinski.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I didn't design the level (but I know most of the layout), and I'm only at 50% of the achievements after 4.5 hours of play. So, yeah, enjoy the Vampirium: 1997 playtest this weekend for the folks queued up! 🩸 (I'll be manning the feedback triage this weekend.)

Star Wars Zero Company was spectacular. If you’ve never been able to get into the XCOM genre, this is the one! It is approachable and coherent with ALMOST none of the most nonsensical and frustrating elements that have held the genre back. I ❤️’d it and just want more. Great writing, characters ❤️❤️❤️

Tim Curry's contribution to movies and roles that end up in the gay cinema pantheon across genres is absurd. For me, Clue is a perfect cast with iconic performances, but without Curry being the emcee of the circus it would not be the movie I could go back to over and over again and still smile.

I like how I'm spending the back half of my life learning to knit and learning to code. I really hope the kids are into pixel-art games with retro design aesthetics excitedly presented to them by an old man in a hand-knitted cardigan in 2046.
