Very enjoyable behind the scenes for Pluribus. They built Carol's neighbourhood!

Thinking about having a whip-round so I can hire the Knives Out/ Never Gonna Give You Up Hall. Dunno what I'd do with it. Fill it with adventure game devs.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

I had one of these and Sony almost immediatly stopped putting PS1 games on it. It also blazed through the batteries.

Was great for emulators though
I still think cell phones like this should have been a thing

You’ve just opened up a Star Trek themed restaurant.

What are you calling it?

Every year I ask the Guardian's games contributors to come up with some lesser-known game recommendations, and every year I end up with a bunch of impulse purchases in the Steam winter sale

Anyone know any good capsule artists? (Or are you one yourself?) I’m thinking about finding someone to do new capsule art for my game Diecast. Just looking into options/prices etc. Thanks!

The Winter Sale numbers have been pretty abysmal so I’m just going to keep shouting about my games being on sale until things pick up.

Buy my games, please. I guarantee you’ll have fun with them.

The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is a whopping 55% off in the Steam Winter Sale!

Inspired by movies such as The Wicker Man & the works of M.R. James, with a little pinch of Twin Peaks and Lovecraft - our folk horror adventure is the perfect play for Christmas!

Some weird scene drama going on here.
I deeply want some games journo deep-diver to figure out what the absolute hell is going on with Cookie's Bustle. I want a full exposé on whatever freak is doing this. I'm sensing drama on Tallarico levels here
Great to see @romhack.ing back on Bluesky after getting hit by the Cookie's Bustle troll

For those new to this deeply weird story, some weirdo (nobody knows who, maybe a collector trying to bump the game's value) has been shutting down anything to even MENTION obscure 1999 adventure Cookie's Bustle
