Haha no, GamePupper is his online nickname. Real name Dougal, in the post-GT/Twitter climate

Dougal is not taking the "75 miles of walking in a month" MND challenge well

It took me by surprise that it was as organic as it was, and immediately made me realise how games really need to do it more often. Way more authentic

All this GOTY talk about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 makes me happy, and it deserves the award for this scene alone

This is hands down the funniest conversation I've heard in a game this year

I'm so sorry to hear that, but I'm so happy for the happiness she brought you.

There was a point a few years ago when certain people were getting annoyed about the anti-Nazi rhetoric from Bethesda about Wolfenstein. This isn't surprising, for all the wrong reasons

Finally played @landfall.se's PEAK.

Really, no gaming experience compares to you and two of your mates struggling to get anywhere, while your other bastard mate freely climbs ahead and passive-aggressively (and solely) communicates via bugle

10/10 amazing game

A screenshot of PEAK where the player character is looking up at a large shard of rock much higher than them, and another player character is staring down at them while playing the bugle

To be fair, the poster also thinks it's a 9.5 and hasn't left the first area

Big fan of all of these. Keep up the good work

I never share anything like this, so feel free to enjoy the picture of the dog and move on!

We're raising money the MND Association by walking this lazy sod for 75 miles in October.

It's a cause we really root for, so if you have a spare quid, help us hit our goal!

I love Android's new speech-to-text voicemail function. My wife got this today from her doctor, and it reads like a spam email from Dr. Professor.

"six thanks, bye."

A text message from a voicemail that reads "Good afternoon. This is just a message for [name redacted]. I'm calling from personal medical center. Please give me a call on Odborne three, two, nine five, three, six thanks, bye."

You're back in Ireland, right? Hope it goes well mate, and that you don't disappear into the Upside Down

You then, like me now, took much longer than most to wash your face

Matt Gardner @gametripperuk.bsky.social · 11d

I love this, you're adorable.

However, I love the fact that your hairline here is worse than mine is right now, and I'm 39. Glad yours improved. Mine ran for the hills

Coolest game series ever made. I know cool isn't a phrase these days but it's honestly the coolest thing that has ever graced consoles

I think colours are definitely coming back after years of black, grey and white. Still, a lot of anthracite, navy and silver to maintain the Mrs Hinch of our era. I just like being able to find my car quickly on a rainy Tuesday night away at Stoke

Oh my lord, they're like mine. Front paws down, a quick jump at your legs, endless runs

Yeah, spotted that immediately after I posted this, I took it as remasters brackets general
