Deleted my last post because it must've picked up traction somewhere and I don't know why. Still, thank you to everyone who wished me well earlier. Doing better than I thought I'd be right now

Thanks so much to @startmenu.bsky.social for having me for their Winter Spectacular! This was my first time being asked to write a guest feature, and I’m really pleased with how it turned out!
Blue Prince isn’t just my personal GOTY, it felt like THE game that captured the absurdity of 2025. 🏠🗝️🚪

Winter Spectacular 2025 continues with a reflection on one of the biggest indie games of the year from @annacwebs.bsky.social!
How do you cope with the onslaught of news this year? By becoming a sicko. And Blue Prince is a game made for sickos.

No real complaints with the F1 race, Yuki deserved the penalty. Forever in the Ferrari camp but thrilled to see Lando become champion

Only a few weeks until the new year, so I'm doing a thread of my work from 2025. It's been a nonstop year, hoping things will finally calm down a bit now. Still, 2025 delivered what's probably the biggest piece of reporting I'm most proud of across my entire career www.uploadvr.com/from-quest-t...
From Quest To Horizon: How Meta's Shifting Priorities Are Affecting Developers
With growing concerns about declining sales and discoverability, UploadVR spoke with nearly two dozen VR studios to discuss the current state of shipping VR games on Quest.

Been thinking about GOTY soon, both with VR games and traditional platforms. It's very easy to end up missing some hits, so I've gotta ask, please. Whether its big names, AA, niche indies etc, which 2025 games should I play before the year's out?

This really hasn't been his year
Red flag in FP3 - Hamilton spins off at Turn 9 and into the barrier on the outside of the corner. A good bit of damage to the front right corner.

Very pleased to welcome @liveopenmike.bsky.social with his first review for @uploadvr.com. Won't lie that I also had my concerns about the short notice from announcement to release, but glad to see Men in Black: Most Wanted turned out well
Men In Black: Most Wanted bucks the trend of underwhelming IP offerings in VR, putting up a solid action game with built-in replayability.

As expected then. That's rough for Yuki, but I'm not surprised at all
Red Bull has finalised its 2026 driver line-up by officially promoting Isack Hadjar, who replaces Yuki Tsunoda.
Racing Bulls has confirmed that junior driver Arvid Lindblad will replace Hadjar next season, leaving Tsunoda without a seat since joining the grid in 2021.
