I have 13 progressively harder levels. Try me if you dare.

Rob. The real Peter Molyneux 2017/2018. Writes and writes about video games. Watches tat films. Touched a computer once, sorry.

If you’ve got a blacklist, I want to be on it. Disabled and tired.

Thinking about subscribing to Edge again. I did for years and years, then I switched to an iPad sub for a while which was kind of cool but I let it lapse a while back. I’d probably go physical again despite the clutter, my iPad is an ancient potato now and I don’t feel like buying another

Is Edge still good? I’m getting old-man nostalgia about when games writing was good and people got paid properly and didn’t have to do weird Internet shite to live and then get laid off by IGN

@ALWyvern @sinbad Best it’s ever been, imo.

@ALWyvern @sinbad If you don’t mind digital, libraries often have a Press Reader login for customers and that has Edge each month effectively for nowt. I use a Readly sub for mine so I can huff everything (except the ones I won’t read on principal, also pictured ahem), if you’re not arsed about owning things, obv.

On IGN acquiring RPS, Eurogamer, etc…

Grim news. I’ve taken this extremely personally because RPS and Eurogamer basically ensured I didn’t just write a game and get lost in the milieu over and over again. Whether that’s writing about my stuff, writing for them, sitting on panels or having my work on show, they’ve been a consistent force for good. I’m proud to have bylines on Gamer Network.

I’m proud to have bylines on Gamer Network. I’m grateful to everyone who helped lift me up. I’m just one of many they helped raise and what IGN have done is a travesty.

The staff over at GI dot biz have bust a gut over the years to turn the place around from a complete shitshow to the best in class, doing the work of business posting for other businesses whilst keeping a beady eye on the human costs that come with people existing in videogames and holding games companies to account with their own words and actions.

This shit shouldn’t be as rare as it is but it is and the work folks have put in, year in, year out is a testament to them.

Brilliant people who deserve better than this.

Everyone in videogames is worse off for this. Every good person we lose has been a champion for someone else. They’ve brought eyeballs to games and situations that would struggle to find any. Games is a lesser place with every callous sacking and a little bit of hope and magic disappears alongside.

They made copy and paste pay to win. Amazing.

My brain absolutely hates that thing game news sites are doing where they embed random videos of a completely different game midway through the article. It throws me for a loop every single time.

If you finish up before you get to The Devil You Know, Humble’s BPRD bundle is an incredible amount of very good comics for about twenty quid.

Mind, I need to stop wondering once a year whether Devil You Know is as bad as I remember it because it always is.
