I understand, but It's a broken promise from both author and publisher.

I have a feeling it'll be worth something down the line, be interesting if it ever gets a second print. If not, it's in your favour long term.

Editor: GOOD LORD WHAT IS HAPPENING IN HERE?!

Author: SNES RPGs

Editor: you say RPG's despite the fact Knights of the Round + King of Dragons are on the list? In this type of book. Included in this niche topic you were commissioned to complete?

Author: Yes

Editor: may I edit this?

Author: No

@bitmapbooks.com Soo I usually stand beside your books but I feel a little ripped off here... If the author considers two Capcom beat'em ups RPGs then I clearly am not interested in Volumes 2-god knows how far this get drawn out for money. If it is a definitive guide why is it missing Japanese RPGs?

Just worked out that I've spent around £74 this year on video games across both Playstation and Nintendo platforms, purchasing seventeen different titles.

I love a sale.

Finally got around to Justified: City Primeval.

3 episodes in, it's fucking excellent.

Absolute legend. Thank you Barry.

Simon Jordan on TalkSport, unchallenged yet again.

As a Talksport employee, I am embarrassed by this rebuttal of what Neville said. This moron pontificates without question. It is bonkers.

And yeah, i'll probably be sacked. Fuck it.

Japanese fiction now outsells all other translated languages in the UK—and it’s not just Murakami anymore.

From cats to cannibalism, @susiemesure.bsky.social explores the literary boom that began with CONVENIENCE STORE WOMAN and shows no signs of slowing down.

Pretty sure their follower count was over 3k a week ago, now down to 2.6k.

But yeah, blown out of proportion

Black Sails could well be the most unsung yet gripping and brilliant TV show of the last 20 years. Phenomenal stuff.

Agent Prince @agentprince.bsky.social · 2d

Love this Dead Space rig.

Yeah that's a shame it's pay-walled for you. Not sure on your feelings on The Guardian but they just ask for donations if willing.

Agent Prince @agentprince.bsky.social · 3d

It remains the biggest news site in terms of views, hits, etc also. Its world service is largely great. UK focus has been worryingly biased for ages now, with previous heads coming from the Conservative party, or assisting individuals from that party, and now a focus on the Reform party.

So is the BBC. It's only going to get worse. Presumably, the paywall must be for non-UK residents as their funding model is via a license paid for by the public.

The same seems to apply to breaking into the business in the first place. That old adage of it isn't what you know, but WHO you know.

So we're down to one team left unbeaten in the men's top four divisions - Frank Lampard's Coventry City.

There's been criticism as VVD indirectly attributed team form to the loss of Diogo Jota. "Off the pitch" were the words used.

It is definitely going to affect players/staff in different ways, on different levels. How could it not. As I understand it, they were particularly close. Could be that.

@glider.bsky.social I'd leave this one alone. The reposts tell all. Bitmap have acknowledged.

The author has retreated to Twitter.

Dear video game companies, instead of gifting promo/press release/any version of your products to celebrities who can obviously afford them more than most, maybe give them to the staff that created the product instead of crunch hours and low pay.

Thanks
