I just saw someone on Reddit, from the press, has Ninja Gaiden 4 and I feel like I’m pounding on the glass from outside the house yelling to be let in. #NinjaGaiden4 #Xbox

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I find that when I start thinking “I’m going to make something stupid”, that’s when all my great ideas come. I’m with you man.

Man, I loved doing podcasts when DIRT 5 was coming out.
I’d love to do more of that and just talk about games, that’d be ace.

Man, I love #TheMorningShow - and while Billy Crudup is amazing, Greta Lee is stealing the show this season.

Playing Billy Hatcher with my son.
I worked in SEGA QA as a summer job during university, and was a tester on this game. I don’t think I’m credited though.

If you love retro games or just games, check out Kimimi’s work!

It’s like sifting through a vault of ancient works with a knowledgable tour guide.

I can’t recommend their site enough. I’ve been subbed for years and look forward to their posts hitting my Inbox.

Drop a few £/$ to support great work

My Ko-fi is very much a do-or-die thing right now, and I really won't be able to continue writing if the subs aren't there to support it.

To be clear, this isn't about getting paid my "worth" or w/e, this is "If this can't feed me then I need to find a job that will". Sorry but I'm that desperate.

If you've recently canceled a subscription and have some extra money not going to anything, consider handing some of that to Kimimi, one of the better writers-about-games that I know.

Oh hi 👋

The fingerprints of Final Fantasy XVI’s UI are all over this. Glad to see it.

Day off to play Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles.

This is an incredible body of work already. To call this a remaster would be a huge disservice. This is a love letter to a classic masterpiece.
