Welp, any mutuals, with the brand renaming to DayOne if you have a gaming podcast and wouldn't mind having myself or @jonclarke.xboxera.com on it would be a massive help for us moving forward to get the word out!

☠️MORTIFYING CHRISTMAS STORY TIME

Ahead of the big day tomorrow, here’s the story of The Worst Thing That Ever Happened At Christmas. A few years ago, the two of us were invited to a communal Xmas dinner at a friend’s house, where all the guests were to bring different Xmas dinner components. 1/

For the past few weeks Google Maps has been increasingly unreliable stopping me updating anything.
To that end I've been quickly learning Open Street Map and I am now happy to share the link : u.osmfr.org/m/1334010/

This will the Guide map going forward. The Google one will remain but not updated.

Had to try this new fangled Bass that all the kids are talking about. I think it might catch on @rogerprotz.bsky.social & @totalcurtis.bsky.social. At The Anchor in Digbeth, Brum.

I want to applaud @pelliclemag.com @totalcurtis.bsky.social @clairembullen.bsky.social for supporting the kind of long reads that require lots of old-fashioned journalism. I just wanna go back to 1996

Really enjoyed reading @rogerprotz.bsky.social article on Round Corner Brewing in the current edition of CAMRA Beer magazine. They visited The Ale Pole in Daventry this year and the beers were fantastic, particularly Society for the Encouragement of Virtue. So good that I purchased a case 😅

I'm super biased but I love this article (partly because my young face is in it and I get a shout out). A look down memory lane at a console era that formed so many of my gaming memories and friendships that last until today. Great job @jonclarke.xboxera.com ❤️

Despite widespread claims, there are not many mediaeval pubs still serving. The ones that survive are all inns. The best preserved is the New Inn at Gloucester. We know from tree-ring dating that construction began in 1432 and it was first mentioned in the records in 1455 🧵

It's been a while.

Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs.

This thread reminds me of the good ol'days of Twitter!
It's seven years since we posted on Twitter about how kids kept coming into the library asking if we had any books about FORTNITE. We didn't back then, and we'd never heard of it so we tried asking what it was.
