Spooky season continues with Obsession. Although I found the plot predictable, it was still very successful in being a movie that puts you in a near constant state of anxiety nonetheless. Well worth the watch.

Jokes on you if you're at Essen Spiel, I'm having way more fun working on VAT related spreadsheets.

Enjoying the teen drama of the new Carrie TV series. Not Mike Flanagan's best but still an enjoyable show for spooky season.

My most recent YouTube video has over a million views. Can I retire from social media now?

Finally coming up for air from the Plants Vs. Zombies board game launch on Kickstarter and I'm looking for a videogame to play (on ps5) this spooky season. Thoughts?

"You must play loads of games!" There's one thing they don't tell you. Making games is so much admin. So many spreadsheets and supporting documents. Up to your eyes in paperwork. Admin simulator, that's the real game!

Back behind the camera!

A space race and home baked bread. What a weekend!

YouTube titles and thumbnails have been getting louder for years. The dial has been turned so high, even the most innocuous channels have started to represent parody accounts.

i want games made by people who get to keep their jobs

Today was my first play of Imperium Horizons (which I photographed for Osprey Games back when it was released). A very good reminder to at least skim the keywords for a deck builder before jumping in to avoid lots of rules checks! Seems fun though, looking forward to trying it again soon.

daily reminder ✨

Recommendations wanted. Looking for men's clothing that isn't boring as shit. If I see any more beige and grey I'll scream.

Alternative ending, Sam Neill's character from In the Mouth of Madness laughing manically eating a breakfast burrito in the cinema.

Not gonna lie, three years of gaming with my best friend has been pretty sweet, even if she usually kicks my butt.

Thanks for refresher Rodney! Looking forward to playing this again. @watchitplayed.bsky.social

Just passed 300 sessions at the gym since 2023. If I've learned anything in that time, it's to focus on long term goals like overall health and wellbeing versus short term vanity metrics. If you apply this simple logic in to life in general you'll probably live a longer, happier one.

People want a silver bullet answer. Rather than focus on social media, a more general answer is that someone spent years, YEARS, grinding away without much success, before they became even remotely successful. And that's a hard truth to hear.

Workers at Rowan, Rook and Decard have secured the first union recognition agreement in the UK table top games industry! 🙌 iwgb.org.uk/en/post/tabl... Work in the UK games industry? Join our union today!

After over 8 years working in the tabletop industry here's the main lesson. Effort, talent and care do not reflect commercial success. This industry is filled with passionate humans creating beautiful things too easily missed. So much respect for all the makers out there trying to find a way.

After months of being genuinely too busy with work for anything else I'm dipping back into some video gaming. Tonight's treat? Citizen Sleeper. An RPG I've wanted to try for a long time.

I've not edited video in a long long time, and let me tell you, starting again by editing 5 hours of Actual Play RPG footage was one heck of a jump back in.

The Ghost in the Shell RPG, based on the original manga, has just gone live on Backerkit. I co-wrote and co-designed this game alongside Alessio. I’ve seen quite a bit of buzz around the Synthesis Conflict system which is really great as that was one of my main contributions 😄 Check it out:

The Ghost in the Shell TTRPG is now live and funded on Backerkit! 🦾🦾 The book is packed full of art from the original manga and creator Shirow Masamune even made new artwork for the campaign! Go check it out! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

At work, I jokingly described preparing for a crowdfunding launch like being slowly crushed alive by slowly growing pressure. This Tuesday, I get to see if my efforts turn me into a diamond or if I'm more of an oil drum sorta guy.

If you pile your furniture in the middle of your living room then set it on fire, you will have the warmest house in your street, for a few hours.

People are always talking about the things we have today that our ancestors didn't, but nobody wants to look at the things our ancestors had that we've lost. Like community, and free time, and environmental sustainability, and a collective that cares whether we live or die

Real talk. We did not expect this but people are showing up. We are 1/3rd away from realistically affording studio space. If we can keep that momentum - it is actually realistic we can get there. THANK YOU!

Almost exactly a year ago, I left my (stable!) job for full-time game design. Some reflections 1/ 🧵

Since there is a little trend I thought I would share my Patreon. I am moving towards being completely independent, buying all the games I review (not including the work I do for TTGM). Your support can help make that happen. www.patreon.com/c/thegiantbr...

quite proud of my new self-portrait

On my way, Clacton.

Here’s the part we all want to know which is behind the paywall. You’re welcome.
