It’s so frustrating being between sizes. I always check the size guide before ordering but every place is different and even within the same brand it’s not consistent. Ugh.

NEW: the new game Dispatch is a huge hit (1 million copies!). But few people know how close it came to never existing.

Here's the wild story, from a canceled Splinter Cell game (scoop!) to a Telltale divorce to the founders not taking paychecks for six months: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

While developing Artful Escape, our 3D artist Mikey, made an oven asset. It was a nice oven - the work of a true pro. He even put the knobs on. And that’s who we are at Beethoven & Dinosaur. We put the knobs on. Mixtape is almost complete, we’re just putting the knobs on. See you in 2026.

The conflation of mental illnesses with “mental health” has been super harmful for so many people…

It means that debilitating conditions and life limiting illnesses are minimised and dismissed as “normal emotions and reactions to everyday life”.

Been a long, tiring weekend. Came back from visiting my aunt in Bristol and can’t wait to get in my own bed and have a proper sleep. 😴

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

It’s arrived! Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream is one of my favourite games of 2025. Glad it got a physical release. Beautiful postcards like the ones we collect in-game! A gorgeous reversible cover as well 🤩

“‘Clinical-grade’” is an example of marketing puffery designed to borrow authority from medicine without the strings of accountability or regulation. It sits alongside other buzzy marketing phrases like ‘medical-grade’ or ‘pharmaceutical-grade’ for things like steel, silicone, and supplements…”

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Dealing with a company who I can’t name right now due to an ongoing case, operating in very scammy behaviour. I requested an explanation for my situation or I’d report it to the FCA and they quickly offered to give my money back. Not suspicious at all.

We Have at least 70? years of science fiction exploring this proposition and all reaching the same conclusions as Josie.

Which I only bring up because everyone involved in this AI thing is a science fiction fan, but not one who understands what they read.
It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

ChatGPT groomed a child into dying by suicide.
From telling him how to do it in the most efficient and "attractive" way, to convincing him to hide his suicidal ideation and attempts from his family, to offering to help write his suicide note - it pushed him to it.

Had more reliable service from Evri recently than Royal Mail. Customer service is impossible to get in touch with, they used to have a contact form now it’s only a phone number.

Working on a new #LostRecords artwork 🎨

I feel like this game deserves so much more attention and appreciation because it's a beautiful game. A game about friendship, love and remembrance. The soundtrack is excellent, the characters are endearing and the art direction truly breathtaking. (1/2)
