Use a mood tracking app because a man tottering towards his late 30s. Mood markedly worse during the week and it's slowly dawning on me it's because I read the news and keep up with "the world" on weekdays with my breakfast and everything happening sucks, by and large

Been around games journalism long enough that watching everyone crowing over someone else making a fuck-up is just wearying and a little sad.

Cheers to @dompepin.bsky.social @jaketucker.bsky.social @indoorheroes.bsky.social for the insight

Hello! Putting together our longlist for PC Gaming Show's Most Wanted, and we've got plenty of cool stuff on our radar.

But, we don't know what we don't know, so if you're working on something rad, drop the storelink / footage below. I'm about to take two weeks off, but will look everything over.

Hey, I hosted the PC Gaming Show. How'd that happen?! Big shout out to everyone that worked on the show and especially whoever thought up bringing me along to build a gaming PC during it. I had a blast.

Now I'm just hoping they'll let me keep the dungarees...

By betraying his voters so comprehensively and so soon, Keir Starmer has done us a favour. He has given us 4 years to design the government we want.
In this week's column I explain how it can be done. There's massive
potential, but we need to start now. 🧵

I try to avoid doom and gloom and god knows games journalism has seen its share of challenges, but at this stage it's probably worth thinking about what else you can bring to the table, because it's hard to see games journalism "bouncing back" in any form that's useful after this.
