Epic-level gaslighting, there.

Some thoroughly enjoyable stuff here from @hitpoints.bsky.social :)

Worried about the private acquisition of EA? Nathan Brown of @hitpoints.bsky.social is struggling to get too upset, given what the company has become.

With enough awful things happening in games and the world, maybe we can have a little apathy, as a treat.

Had a blast chatting to Stone – curious whether Peter Pan has the massive audience that Second Star thinks it has, but if there's anyone that can make a licensed IP works, it's this group of TT vets.

After nearly two decades of making Lego titles, former TT Games head Tom Stone returns with a new studio – but with the same, proven focus on licensed IP and co-op play

Steve Escalante said recently that “Digital Bandidos is actively working on a platform right now to solve discoverability” - would be great to have something like that for indies. www.gamesindustry.biz/how-indie-fa...

Islets and Gato Roboto are great shouts in particular - fantastic games.

Not so sure about The Messenger as a low difficulty Metroidvania though - there are some seriously difficult bits that require some very tricky manoeuvres.

We were at the Yorkshire Arboretum last weekend, where we witnessed the most beautiful, picture-book mushrooms I have ever seen.

I mean, just look at these beauties! 🍄

You are certainly earning your salary right now! Fantastic work.

Watching all that go up this week has made me eternally grateful I work on a site that doesn't do reviews :)

I can't seem to see the full-length version of this, am I going mad? Should there be a podcast link or...? filmstories.co.uk/news/in-conv...

This is a really useful resource.

I spend most of my time in the games industry bubble, and when I wander outside it, I'm regularly surprised by just how little people know about the industry.

Having a website like this that can act as a primer is extremely useful.

Video Games Europe has launched the Pixels to Policy campaign, which aims to "explain the industry to people who aren't familiar with video games."
