Very good, if saddening, read. @hownottodraw.bsky.social's final comment made me wistful for a past I never quite had (having only ever worked on mags remotely)

This is a better advert for homemade lasagne than it is for the Ocarina of Time remake www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTBH...

Ya gotta watch the trailer

Just about recovered from Reece Shearsmith's joker on episode 3 of Last One Laughing Halloween. I've not laughed that hard in a long time.

Wrote a book!

The crowd singing along to the final chorus of Maps on the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs Live at the Royal Albert Hall record is a moment of pure beauty for those of you who like to fill your existence with such things.

This is a really good review

If you liked YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING (2026) make sure to check out the sequel

This is lovely. A bit of light to briefly lift the gloom

Extremely important news

Blake has put so much into this, it's been awesome to see

AI isn't good at empathy. It's good at sycophancy

Every gothic horror:

📣Calling all women and femme writers📣 I am looking to commission around 10 heartfelt essays surrounding video game criticism. If this sounds like something you are down to do them read on and I urge you to apply. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

This is horrifying.

BioWare made games for people in an industry that often reduced them to less. I don’t think this business is interested in people anymore

holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.

Hello! I'm looking to speak to: 1. Devs involved in the decompilation scene who can speak to how the community has been affected by AI. 2. Devs who have or suspect they have had their game copied by AI vibe coders. If either of those is you, contact me at rick@ricklane.co.uk. Shares appreciated!

Attention Scottish voice actors! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎤 We’re gearing up to cast an upcoming project, which will require an (almost) all Scottish cast! So watch this space, if it’s nae bother.

Goal for this month reset. Slightly better off this month as my wages are back to normal Between our combined illness and a few emergencies, the last month has been rough (and that's putting it mildly) 🧵 ko-fi.com/goblinbuns/g...

I think you should get on this (because I'm in it)

i am writing 1700 words about resident evil t-virus for this ❤️‍🔥

Just remembered the Alan Partridge mod I made for The Typing of the Dead: Overkill about 8 years ago.

A decade in print media

Really pleased for the critics who got to review Switch Sports Resort

I’m a little biased, obv, but [lock-on] 007 has some pretty stellar features, gang. Get on it if you haven’t already: www.lostincult.co.uk/lockon

🎵you're so vain you probably think this subtweet's about you🎶

Humans are fundamentally optimistic creatures. We see 8000+ Next Fest demos and assume that Valve might actually do something for its 30%, even in the face of overwhelming evidence that it will do absolutely fuck all.

It will only take a minute and I would love to get more data!

People using AI to reverse engineer games to then turn around and publish clones is straight up theft. Why is anyone pretending otherwise? The only thing genAI is good at making is fucking talentless thieves. Prosecute the lot of them. Sue them to hell.

I spent a half hour trying to figure out the right way to formulate a paragraph for my book's introduction and when it finally clicked into place, I literally clapped my hands and said "that's it!" out loud. That's the kind of pure nerdy excitement that AI steals from us.

If anyone else is reviewing Phantom Blade Zero send me a DM pleeease

Please share and help if you can. I can't work at all right now and we really need assistance making ends meet. Thank you.

Ghosts abound in The Séance of Blake Manor, but this edition also glimpses into my soul, as I wrote for the booklet. Bleeding across the pages are reflections on my own fractured identity, Ireland's scarlet-soaked history, the machinations of mystery, and how it all flows through the game.

Hey gamers! I'm thinking of creating a women-led luxury gaming magazine or book. I have a quick 4 question survey to gauge interest in it. Please fill it out even if it's a "not for me" it would be hugely helpful. Also please share so I can get more data! forms.gle/ZD9Gen7C4foe...
