This has been my pinned tweet for years but it's as true here as it was there: the highlight of my #gamedev career to date was this spectacular bug from #StarWarsBattlefront Elite Squadron on the #PSP.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

The James Bond discourse just doesn't work on any level for me, what do you mean "the audience won't buy it," they think Timothy Dalton and Sean Connery are the same guy

Something I don't think I've ever seen anyone talk about is this wonderful fourth wall breaking piece of tutorial dialog from Bangai-o Spirits for the DS. Putting known issues in your tutorial is certainly something:

Inspired by The Jase's video, I realised that the Mr Blobby song also works quite well with the John Lewis advert. But then it took a dark turn...

"Replace, Replenish, Recycle!"
This is the mantra of The Toilet Protocol, an initiative that I have been forced to enact in the face of continued cases of no roll being left in the bathroom and empty tubes left lying around like so much detritus.
Today I was greeted by this.

In a slightly shocking turn of events (particularly given the competition), I won! 🥳
I painted this #HighElf hero for my local gaming club's Single Miniature painting competition and it was fun/terrifying to really push myself. The shield was done by painting over an Averlorn decal.
