Hammer game good

This was me in 2010, upon my first (and I think only?) Sunday Papering. Nice to pay it forward 16 years later!

Next Fest used to be the absolute shit. Now it's like walking through a gallery of plagiarised crayon drawings.

Am selling my shared ownership flat - you (or the intendedly London-dwelling loved one of your choice) could have a very tidy 1-bed for not much more, monthly, than renting a large-ish room soresi.co.uk/find-a-prope...

No fair! You changed the ADHD statistic by measuring it

Anyone here have, or knows someone who has, experience running game jams?

Games and tech freelancers : I am once again asking for freelance pitches for PC hardware features (not reviews or guides, sorry!) on RPS. Email's in bio, genAI users need not apply (it's much, much easier to spot than you think)

Also in Good Stuff news, I've listened to this 12+ times today: youtu.be/Z4kgKBCIGFE?...

He's such a golden retriever, I love him

Don’t normally play X Game Defence Force but calling Control Resonant’s action one-note is madness. Some of y’all never equipped the self-ignite power then intentionally filled Dylan’s body cavities with flammable mold then detonated him like a bomb made of month-old sandwiches, and it shows

Fought an APC with a Chelsea Tractor and won

Dead pleased with all of @ashlikeadragon.bsky.social's recent features for us. If Gamescom was *my* career-first event (and not the launch of a budget Motorola phone) I'd have disintegrated into stammering particles by the second day

Literally everyone at this Dover thing looks like the cheeki breeki iv damke guy

no DLSS 5. just good art direction.

Only just clocked that I've spent five years with RPS, as of Monday. One of Gamescom's greasiest shokodonuts shall serve as my cake.

Alright, Bath, you have about 18 hours to prove I was wrong to think of you as just Expensive Cirencester.

I'm working on a feature about videogame art that has been falsely accused of using genAI. If it's happened to you and you'd like to share thoughts about why your work attracted suspicion, feel free to give me a bell: edwin.evansthirlwell@rockpapershotgun.com

Gee RPS how come you get two @jeremypeel.bsky.social features on the front page

Delighted to announce my personality is now based entirely around liking Denshattack

Argentina must be watching this match licking their lips, jesus wept

Good skitooshi names

Also did this!

I like the Steam Machine! Not watershed hardware like the Deck was (and not just because of the £££ issue) but as a TV PC specifically, it's lovely

Can they search SA so we can have a Groverhaus/BathDoom/RIPline trilogy

If you're affected by any Xbox cuts and feel it would be useful to talk to RPS about it, my email is in my bio: www.rockpapershotgun.com/authors/edwi... Some older reporting I've done of the anon sourcey variety: www.rockpapershotgun.com/former-devel... www.rockpapershotgun.com/how-embracer...

Finally finished my investigation into Latam game dev, ft. a bunch of interviews and loads of cool games:

Nerds: nintendo sux Different nerds: no it don't Me: waow a touhou remaster

Karking hell

I don't care how dadlike it is, I can and will continue to say that it looks like we got here at just the right time

Certified Allan moment at EVE Fanfest

Spray-painted a bug (and accidentally spoiled @lewispackwood.bsky.social's brand work, sorry Lewis)

I can't remember where, but recently I read the words "Melinoe would vote Tory", and while not wrong it did ruin Hades 2 for me

Heh.

Always rated Hungary

[Not an AF joke] I'm now deputy editor on RPS! Supporters can read all about it, which admittedly isn't much, because "I'm now deputy editor on RPS" basically covers everything www.rockpapershotgun.com/letter-from-...

Don't do it, Stranger Than Heaven. Don't make me do another cookery post

Very intelligent cat stands in dry food bowl to get to the wet food one
