We are in a climate emergency & yet the government just approved Jackdaw. As Green MPs, we've tabled an Early Day Motion calling on the Government to keep fossil fuels in the ground (including Rosebank) and to focus on things that would actually lower bills & create secure jobs.

Talk about taking a studio that had a rabid fanbase and completely trashing that loyalty. Bioware fans are *hardcore*. This is so stupid.

Electronic Arts closing BioWare, laying off hundreds: aftermath.site/electronic-art...

No. Fuck. Fuck everyone and everything for this 😭😭😭 From NWN, Jade Empire, KOTOR and onwards, Bioware games shaped my gaming habits and got me through some shitty times as a teen (and an adult tbh). Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

OK, but for real. I lost all my PS1 games during a house move some years back and have been slowly replacing them all. I found this, and it's in perfect condition AND includes the original maps and manual. £20 - total bargain.

I've been asked if my indie games use AI🤮 No. I spend more time polishing and tweaking than creating it in the first place so the idea of getting slop just seems awful🔪🤖 Support real games and wishlist Gone Feral or buy The Axis Unseen + Deedlee Doo! Carkour!

One of my favourite accounts It posts Tolkien's Lord of the Rings at the date and time they occurred, using Oxford England local time Tolkien fans should be following, it's such a joy to get snippets in your timeline

The Shire-Reckoning@shire-reckoning.bsky.social

After the hobbits wake and enjoy the breakfast that the Elves left for them, Frodo decides to leave the road—they might be followed. And, ‘Short cuts make delays, but inns make longer ones.’ The hobbits head east. Looking back, Sam spots a Rider on the hill where they slept.

This year I'm judging three different sets of Awards (what?!?!) 🏆 4th BAFTA Game Awards 🏆 5th Independent Games Festival Awards 🏆 1st ever Game Developers' Choice Awards (Game Launch committee) So many incredible indie titles to advocate for 👏 So many incredible games to work through 🔥

Normal Golf Game, the most unconventional take on hitting a golf ball since Wii Sports, is a beautifully weird triumph and a GOTY candidate. It was a pleasure talking to its designer about making such a chaotic experiment https://remapradio.com/articles/the-most-normal-golf-game-ever-made/

Best, most evocative thing we can do for the sale tied to NEW HARDWARE is... random extruded shapes? First new VR hardware from Valve in 7 years. An RPG sale is what's on the Front Page. And we get... shapes.

I'm going to be working on an accessibility focused review of the Steam Frame over the next couple of weeks (Thanks Valve). If you're a VR game developer with a title on Steam you'd like me to check out on the Steam Frame, reach out with review code. LauraKBuzzOfficial@Gmail.com
