Where did we go so wrong?
Sir Alex Issigonis designed the original mini in 1959 and there are still examples from that year around today.
I've owned three classic minis in my lifetime and I intend to own at least one more

Lately, I'm less about new year resolutions and more new year reflections. What happened this year? What challenges were overcome? What achievements? Lessons learned and what am I taking into the new year?
Is new year a reflective/planning point for you or are you team "just another day, innit"?

Do you have a game-related Christmas memory? Like a particular game or console you can remember being super excited about as a kid?
What game, year and how old were you?

As someone relying on the energy of the sun for power. I am very glad we've reached the winter solstice.
Now let's start the long climb out of this darkness towards spring 💪

A lot of doom and gloom in #IndieDev about nearly 20k games releasing in 2025, which is indeed, "a lot".
However, did you know, that 5% (1k) of those released THIS YEAR made over $100k?
Whether that's a lot or not is obviously contextual, but for many solo devs/tiny teams, that's life changing.

There are many, but Golden Axe stands out.
I have more childhood memories in 48k/128k/8bit/16bit gaming worlds than I think I have of IRL memories 😅
Horace goes skiing, Trashman, Head over heels, Alex Kidd, Altered Beast, Outrun, Space Harrier... ♥️🕹️

My goal for today, is to get on top of my inbox. I used to be an inbox zero zealot so being sat here with 500+ emails not archived, is deeply disturbing.
Rookie numbers for many I know, but I'm SO committed to addressing this I'm procrastinating here on bsky...

I've left my field twice in a week and therefore worn trainers instead of my usual steel toecap wellington boots. Both times, wet trainers.
