oh hey, it's me talking about GTA 6 being delayed... again! Thanks @lewispackwood.bsky.social @gibiz.bsky.social for asking me to be involved!

also: solidarity with Rockstar workers ❤️‍🔥

A screenshot of my opinion published in GamesIndustry.biz: It's definitely affected things, that's for sure! We've just seen the 2026 calendar rewritten overnight by one of the biggest, if not the biggest, game releases of recent years. We saw a similar domino effect, on a different scale, when Hollow Knight: Silksong's release window shifted and other indies scrambled to find a new launch date. This GTA 6 delay is that same phenomenon, but magnified a thousand times, especially as competitors will have already reshuffled release dates in line with their last delay. Our role right now is to partner with our clients, listen to their concerns, and advise where needed on this new landscape. It's crucial to remember that not every game is in direct competition. A client with a deep JRPG or a cosy farming sim has a fundamentally different audience to GTA 6, so their core fans will still be there for them, and their sales may not be totally impacted. However, we have to be realistic about press and creator priorities. The challenge for those games is instead the battle for 'share of voice.' GTA 6 will consume the majority of the oxygen in the room during Q4 2026. So now our job is to find the best ways for our clients to be heard before and after that noise. But, to be optimistic for a moment, that Q2 window Rockstar just vacated has suddenly become the most valuable real estate of the year. This delay hasn't just created a challenge, it's also created a massive new opportunity for the right games to step in and own the first half of 2026 – if they're ready to release then, that is. So we're viewing it as more of a strategic reshuffle as opposed to a disaster. But in this industry of delays and shadow drops, we're always alert to change and disruption, so it hasn't totally blindsided us, it just might give us some GTMs [go-to-markets] to adjust. A tweet from Rockstar Games saying that "Grand Theft Auto VI will now release on Thursday, November 19, 2026". It is accompanied by a scene from GTA San Andreas captioned with "Ah shit, here we go again"

I have started dating a man who is very nice but does not share my politics. Any advice? "You just have to get the fuck out of there. What are you thinking? He must be incredibly attractive-looking. I mean, what is it? Is he tall? Does he remind you of your father? There's only two kinds of politics these days, and you can't breathe the same air as the other kind."

Chiitan loves all transgender people.
I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.

love you all 🤍

My @restart.run debut just dropped. It's been almost 20 years to the day since Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory was released and, with it, Amon Tobin's phenomenal score. Two decades later, there's still nothing else quite like it. We had a chat about how it all came together.

From forging steel in the real world to the virtual world, this is a week none of us will ever forget. A huge thank you to everyone that made this possible.

My final act as a full-time video game PR was getting the ball rolling on this one - an EDGE cover for WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers.

LOOK AT IT. IT'S GORGEOUS.

Shout-out to @jimteh.bsky.social and @charcade.bsky.social for getting it over the line.

Myself and Charlotte pictured with Ed Banger founder and former Daft Punk manager Pedro Winter at Ed Banger HQ in Paris, which looks like a record store. Daft Punk platinum discs adorn the walls. Flat Eric is peering over Charlotte's shoulder.
