Finished Silksong, 100% with the true ending. What a game.
Feared the worst with Lost Lace, she is damned tough, but the tools/crest system really does give you amazing options.

If you feel strongly about the decline of physical gaming media, let Nintendo know about it.
Nintendo released a survey asking for feedback on physical and digital games.

This is definitely the chance to make your voice heard about Switch 2 Game Key Cards.

Had the pleasure of speaking with Stoo Cambridge today at the Nottingham Video Games Expo, and couldn't pass up the opportunity to have him sign my @readonlymemory.com Sensible Software 1986-1999 book, adding to Jon Hare and Gary Penn!!

Hi Andrew and James! I dont have a football question, but maybe this is another topic of interest for you - I'm hoping to travel to San Sebastian in August for my 40th birthday, with the wife and daughter. Do you have any tips or recommendations!?

The top shelf is officially full now, thanks to the excellent new update to SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis Collected Works by @readonlymemory.bsky.social . It looks awesome next to my OG Collector's Edition. Amazing work as always.
(Now about that Saturn Collected Works...?)

Final framed video game, and its a special one. Shelley Blond, the original (and best) Lara Croft.

I am extremely happy with the latest additions of signed games, all professionally framed.
Hideki Kamiya, Simon Phipps, Graeme Norgate, Kev Bayliss, David Wise, Yuzo Koshiro and Brett Jones (RIP).
Takes the full collection to 18.
1 more to pick up next week.

Question for the STC crowd! As someone who is agonisingly close to finishing the 1-184 (+specials) run, is there any point whatsoever in aiming for 185-223? @sonicthecomic.bsky.social

Having recently discovering the excellent @sonicpodcast.bsky.social , maybe @demontomatodave.bsky.social or @chrismcfeely.bsky.social can shed some light on any of the Sonic/Sega jackets I've picked up over the years??
We're any of these give aways or mentioned in the comics?

I never realised that the older Command & Conquer games actually work surprisingly well on Steam. I've been battling to get the original disc versions working when the Steam collection works fine!

First post here! The bots and blue ticks have done too much damage to that other site. Time to start finding the people who I followed there.
