Hey, I just got an email from @thenorthfaceau.bsky.social and I would like to respectfully ask who the heck is able to buy what I can only describe as the black leather Michelin man coat for a quid shy of a grand? My £12 phone bill is getting halved so where did your marketing think I would land?

First thing I’ve written in a while is finally out! I’ve got opinions on why Battlefield Redsec is great and it’s not the reasons you might immediately jump to. bonus-action.com/feature/batt...
Battlefield Redsec Is Exactly What I Was Hoping For From Battlefield 6 - Bonus Action

I don't think corporations realise that the reason people read articles about games is because they're full of thought, meaning, and emotion. I didn't buy magazines back in the day for guides and neither did anyone else. Features teams are the last people who should be laid off.

I've been lucky to find work in a local cafe where I'm thriving but a lot of people don't have that luxury and need support. VCG is a a cracking website you should make a daily visit to as well as any you don't want to see thrown in the bin. Major corporations do not care at all and will destroy...

Right, it's hard to find time to write articles at the moment because my wife is working nights and I've gotta put 3 kids to bed and find time to BOTH play and write. So, let's have a good old stream of consciousness and fun stuff from the emails I've gotten recently...

I guess I have to change a little on here because working in a coffee shop full-time has given me a strange new view of people. Today, someone asked where the toilet was and then stood in it, asking if the light would just come on while the pull cord was right next to them. Eyes, use them.
