Saw some people claiming OOT remake doesn't have any art direction, and like. Just because YOU don't like the art, doesn't mean there's no direction. It's kitch, you're being boring.

Saw *other* people mention that Link looks like one of those ceramic dolls on your nan's shelf (derogatory) and like... GREAT! That's fun! Get over yourself!

Did someone say 🪚🧷new season aesthetic📡 🎛️

Once again, Brighton and Hove’s brave and inclusive city has massively outnumbered an attempted fascist march on our streets. Love will win. Pics: forward view, backward view, team view, street view. #gohomeracists #Brighton

Fondly remembering the time I used to get paid to tweet at Nintendo demanding a sequel to ARMS and post increasingly unhinged edits of the Sonic movie.

Unboxing today's New Console didn't fill me with the same dopamine hit as such things used to. Maybe because - small differences aside - opening & setting up a Switch 2 is the exact same experience again. No weird new Nintendo UI, no odd new media format. It's the Switch, but she's got a new hat

And that's FINE. It's a non-issue, really. I just sort of miss the days when a new console was an entirely new platform, with an entirely new ✨vibe✨. "Our console is cube-shaped this year so the UI is going to be all about cubes." That kinda thing.

Ever hear of stars and wishes? It's a GM thing. After a session, you go around the table & share stars (things you loved) & wishes (things you'd have liked more/less of, etc). I've so many stars from collaborating w/ Q on S2. Zero wishes. Some of the work I'm most proud of is in today's episode.

Quinns Quest Season 2 is NOW LIVE! We start with a double feature reviewing Delta Green, purely so I can go *straight* into a review Impossible Landscapes, one of the best campaigns ever made. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx_y...

One of my absolute favourite things is making dumb props and boy howdy did we ever do some of that this year. You might be asking yourself - "did these fools make an entire ass issue of a magazine just for a skit?" You bet your pencils we did! Keep an eye out for all the other pages.

And then of course we invented the SmithSoft S2 operating system, Quinns Quest and Knowledge Dungeon software packages. As a big Windows 95 and Encarta fanboy - this was naturally a dream to work on.

Prordered a Switch 2 and less than sixty seconds later, my boiler broke down. A nice thing followed by a nasty thing. Balance is restored. The ebb and flow of the universe continues.

It's very funny that Randy from Gearbox left a USB filled with grotty porno at a medieval themed restaurant. And he still gets to appear in a Nintendo Direct.
