our incredible features editor, sadly passed away yesterday. He was an incredible asset to the magazine and a compassionate and fantastic friend. My thoughts go out to his friends and family.
I just can’t believe he’s gone

Listening to the first Roses album right now, him and Reni made the band swing like no other. John Robb's (?) description of him as 'garrulous' always stuck with me. Had the pleasure of seeing him a few times with the Scream and the first 2 Roses Heaton Park shows in 2012. Absolutely gutted, RIP.

Hi I wrote about the Sega Master System and how it’s been criminally overlooked because everyone goes on about the NES like it was the only 8bit console in the world look don’t get me started

Master System at 40: the truth about Sega’s most underrated console

Bought a Sega Game Gear on the strength of @retrogamermag.bsky.social's recent guide along with an EverDrive GG X7. Genuinely didn't know there were that many exclusives for it, looking forward to trying them!

I have nothing but love for Shenmue. So much so that my wife and I made a detour to Yokosuka on our honeymoon to visit Dobuita Street and all the locations in the game. So proud to see it win and get all the coverage it's been getting. ❤

Needed to wake up at 2 AM UK time to do it but managed to snag a MiSTer Pi Mega Pack from @takiudon.bsky.social. Looking forward to having a second MiSTer for the living room to be paired with my RetroTINK 4K!

In more innocent times... Donald Trump doing the 1992 Rumbelows Cup QF draw. Remember watching it live and having no idea who he was. Never noticed until now that they said "ties will be played week commencing 6th January" LMAO!

Don't have the time or inclination to post much on social media any more but nice to finally see BlueSky taking off. Twitter is just overrun with bots and the new block rules are BS.
