My dear friend Sandy (@lordoftheyoyo.bsky.social) passed away on Tuesday, and I'm devastated

He was an amazing guy, full of stories and always up for a laugh. He also helped change gaming, allowing Indies to realize their dreams through GameMaker

I'll miss you mate

Who is the funniest person who could show up in the Epstein files? I have thought Naomi Wolf, but Alex Jones would also be hilarious

you can basically sleep with any videogame character in any game if you don’t mind putting a steam deck down your keks.

NEW: Keir Starmer has admitted that he knew Peter Mandelson had carried on a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein after his paedophilia conviction when he made him US ambassador

The admission came as Starmer confirmed a criminal investigation is taking place at Prime Minister's Questions

Bloody hell. I know things are bad right now but one in six is somehow worse than I figured. Maybe it might be a good idea to stop burning through our kids like this?

Reckon if your blog post stretches over a thousand words then a little box should pop up in the CMS telling you to get an editor before you go any further. If you reach three or four thousand words, it electrocutes you.
