THE EXPANSE is still on Amazon Prime and apparently they're not going to take it off until you've all watched it. Twice. So... Go and do that.

Working on something SO INCREDIBLE, 12-year-old me would completely fall over in shock. Ask me about it in six months. I can't even tell you the codename. Just know that [redacted] is literally all my dreams in one product.... 😭

The Witcher Remaster will have to wait. I've got: - The Blood of Dawnwalker (nearly done) - Control Resonant (itching to start) - Wolverine (on standby) As well as chipping away at new LEGO Batman and ORBITALS just sat staring at me from the Switch 2. Maybe I'll play them when GTA drops.

After 5+ amazing years, my role at Ninja Theory is at risk of redundancy and I'm therefore looking for new opportunities.

The great thing with having played ABSOLUM is that it is a great game and I am clearly a gamer of taste. The major problem with having played ABSOLUM is that it has completely reset the bar for ALL side-scrolling beat/hack/slash-em-ups forEVER. God damn it.

happy bisexual visibility day, if ur bisexual then make sure to torment a friend who isn’t bisexual TODAY

Discord screenshot to someone named “Elise.”

first message says “also it's bisexual visibility day and u haven't congratulated me yet. biphobe”

then it’s several messages back to back, starting with a 🥺 kitty that says “fine ignore me then”

then another one of the same pic saying “be honest with me do you think I’m getting annoying”

then another one of the same pic saying “are you mad at me”

then a final one saying “do you hate me be honest”

and then Elise replies with “DSLKFJSKFD I'M WORKING!!!”

Reminded about that time my toxic ex-boss emailed me on the day of my best friend's funeral to say that losing our working relationship was just like burying my friend of 18yrs. That is a real thing that happened. People are insane.

Linkedin content monkeys: 'The cameraman cut to Pierce Brosnan at just the right time!' Me, rolling my eyes: 'First off, the live vision mixer would've spotted him and set that shot up. Second, the default idea that this person is A MAN is so achingly linkedin it hurts, can we all just not?'

Pumpkin update: due to the long hot summer, there is a major pumpkin shortage across the UK and I simply cannot get my hands on 200 pumpkins for Halloween. If anyone knows a pumpkin farmer, give 'em a hug.

Look I get you might want to use, test, play with the LLMs. But heavens, if you are a writer or translator-adjacent, and post about your use of them, then you cannot get all huffy that others will judge, ask questions about your use of them.

Took a big provocation into a meeting today. 'We're so glad you said that, we agree' PROVOCATION APPROVED. Sometimes you just gotta say the unsaid thing. That is all x
