This time 9 years ago the Wobbly Wife was starting to go into labour

And due to the fact we had gone through weeks of Braxton Hicks (false labour) I didn’t think Taz was actually coming so I was sat playing FIFA for the first two hours of labour

Team building devolves into "everyone draw @thewobblygamer.bsky.social".

I will always try and add a positive!

There are certain areas of the game that have great accessibility, audio options, button remapping and sensitivity options are brilliant

Also the new ECHO navigational assistant is super helpful having the physical path to follow is 😍

I adore the @Borderlands series, I’m enjoying 4 so far but I’d love to show whoever decided that these subtitles were “extra large” what extra large subtitles actually look like in a game!

I’m sadly disappointed in some of the accessibility options in the game

A screenshot taken from Borderlands 4, I’m aiming at a massive gateway and Arjay is in shot, there are some subtitles on the screen that are still extremely small

Taz just turned to me in the car on the way to cricket and out of nowhere went

“Dad if you were a super hero, you’d be called mega blind”

What do I even say to that!?!?!

The Wobbly Gamer @thewobblygamer.bsky.social · Sep 3

I’ve seen a few junior roles being advertised within the games industry asking for 1-2 years experience

How is anyone supposed to get into the industry when studios expect juniors to have experience, makes f**k all sense

I’ve done football two weeks in a row

I absolutely love playing football again

But

I absolutely hate the exercise part 🤣

The Wobbly Gamer @thewobblygamer.bsky.social · Aug 18

HELLOOOOO

I have a huge favour to ask of people, I know a lot of my followers work for games companies or in the games industry!

We’re fundraising for my son’s cricket team via a raffle and if anyone is able to donate anything that would be amazing!

My DMs are open ❤️💛🖤

I once said Yorkshire puddings were overrated. A waste of space on a roast.
I was wrong.
Today I repent — in gravy.

Let this be my official forfeit and public apology.

#YorkshirePuddingRedemption #GravyForDays

Wobbles is sat in front of a foot-high stack of glorious, golden Yorkshire Puddings that are covered in thick gravy; thick enough to make a Northerner proud. He has a lemony drink on the table and also an extra jug of gravy

A list of the content creators invited to the BF6 event has been released, wonder how many of the content creators are disabled?

We can work on your games, we can play your games, but we still don’t get invited to creator events, it’s hard enough without being given the same opportunities…

I have already been told by @cgoodyear.bsky.social I need to learn it due to “company policy”

I honestly love my job and the people I work with 👀🤣

I will be making a public statement regarding Yorkshire Puddings once I have spoken to my legal representatives

Thank you to @gaconf.bsky.social for teaching us the importance of a food legacy at a conference.
You have the Legend of the Battenberg.
We bring you the Fable of The Yorkshire Pudding.

Mat, The Wobbly Gamer has a grinned expression to camera with a variety of Yorkshire Puddings exploding around his face.
