Four games I've worked on:

Minecraft Dungeons cover art. A couple of blocky heroes leaping towards us surrounded by enemies.

Prison Architect console edition cover. A cartoon man is walking to us in handcuffs surrounded by prison staff

Littlebigplanet PS Vita cover. Sackboy is being picked up by a hand off a small planet made of lots of things.

Songbringer cover art. A hero on a mountain holds up a sword with a beam of light shooting from it. A woman and a robot are either side of him and a ringed planet in the background

Twelve Jobs Nigel has earned over £1 million in additional income since the general election.

To understand the scale of it, since the July 2024 election he's earned roughly £100k more as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion than Starmer gets as PM.

From Donald Trump's Roundtable on Antifa just now —
"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

This was all I could think of.

A panel from Preacher, showing the character 'arseface' shouting incoherently. A panel to the side reads "I will become arse face".

He is wearing a white t-shirt and has a face shaped like a sphincter.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.
