A Profound Waste of Time Issue 5 arrived in my mailbox yesterday, and it's just perfection as I've come to expect from APWOT.
The cover story about Unicorn Overlord and Vanillaware was great and accompanied by some spectacular artwork throughout.
@cazwis.bsky.social congrats on the release!

Just received APWOT5 and god @apwot.bsky.social is genuinely and consistently incredible. This edition is extra special to me: I am super honored to have my short essay on how games as a medium and flying as an activity connect in my brain.

APWOT is easily the best printed media about video games. With a bullet. Been a fan since the first issue and back it every year. Absolutely amazing quality and design on every page, with some fascinating stuff inside.

imagine how quickly they could get this game out if they only had around 30 more people working on it.
The hotly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI has been delayed once again, from May 26 to November 19, 2026.
The purpose is to give the team, "some additional time to finish the game with the high level of polish players expect and deserve." bit.ly/4oCb7yf

How lucky we are to have Cas and the team throwing everything at every issue of APWOT. An honour to be asked to contribute - so many great writers I can't wait to dig into. Its annual arrival is a highlight of my gaming year. Treat yourself to a copy and you won't be disappointed.

The last month or so has to be the one of the most stressful and anxiety inducing periods since I started making APWOT in 2016.
Seems like a great time to launch issue 6! 😃👍

Got my first issue of @apwot.bsky.social. The cover’s by one of my favourite artists (blurring_my_day), and I can’t remember ever seeing such good graphic design and printwork together. It’s big and thick too, more like a book than a magazine. Expectations exceeded!
