Dark Souls 1 will always be my favourite and it feels accessible because all you need are patience and observation to get through. Bloodborne you need reaction skills that can only be established as a caffeinated 12 year old and I started playing games too late. Pretty much insurmountable to me.

To heal our divided nation I propose splitting Game of the Year awards into two categories:

- Game of the Year That’s 3D and You Use a Sword and/or Gun to Explode a Guy
- Game of the Year That’s Some Gay Bullshit Indie Meditation on Grief or Whatever

there is almost no feedback I will reflexively ignore as a game developer but “you shouldn’t name something X because people don’t know that word” is one of them. oh no! You might learn a new word! God forbid you take away a piece of knowledge from a game that’s not a brand of gun or some shit lol

finding out recently that almost all the words in the dictionary are not IP and are in fact open source/public domain was an absolute game changer for me as a writer

no one tells you but you can just make your own awards ceremonies with your own games, with an announcer and fun award art and everyone coming together at once for the event and spectacle. we've been doing it for years in domino club! its fun! who cares about any "official" awards!

Nice porno. Interesting shots, compelling dialogue. Unfortunately, it fails to capture the dismal, doomed atmosphere of Dark Souls 1.

Saw a stranger laugh at something I wrote in a game for the first time yesterday, pretty good feeling.

They've won against Uber.
They've won against JustEat.
And now they're gonna win against Rockstar.

Fuckin get em. 🌱
NEW: the IWGB has filed formal legal claims against Rockstar after it says the company refused to meet to discuss bringing back fired developers.

"Rockstar has declined to meet with the IWGB, leading the union and barristers to issue formal legal claims on behalf of the Claimants."

This is the first time I’ve ever shown a game (well, first time sticking around to see people’s reaction) and I am nervous!
We’re going to Gamayo!

And what’s even better is we’re showing a demo of A Line Held Tight. If you’re going and you recognise us please come say hi! This will be our first time showing a game publicly in a very long time, and we’ll be excited and nervous in varying measures.

See you there!
