@ajcopland Thanks, announcing leaving aint really a thing at MPG so I just quietly snuck out.... Thanks Andy, I'm sure we'll bump into each other in some meet-up sometime :D
Been away from Twitter for a year or so, what's happened? Is it still a great forum for discussion? :P Considering deleting this account if it's still not possible to curate my own feed nicely, I used to like that Tweetdeck thing before it got all messed up.
Rather enjoying GoldenEye, memories flooding back after all this time… and now I actually recognise some of the faces.
Well done my old chums at Rare on getting the release out there
Also, no way I’m hitting the times for the cheat menu options on Facility this time
So this is pretty wild. It seems like Starfox could work on Genesis/MD without additional hardware. Though, that also makes me wonder how it would fare with the SVP chip as this demo is already often twice the frame-rate of the Super NES original.
We take R&D very seriously; it allows us to stay ahead of the game and continuously improve.
Now, we're looking for a Senior Game Artist to support the team, helping to deliver the best-looking and best-performing multiplayer experiences in the industry: https://t.co/kHN5G16fls
Terribly sad news about the recent passing of Archer Maclean. He made some truly sensational games, from IK+ to Archer Maclean's Pool, and used to write wonderful columns for the magazine. Our thoughts go out to all his friends and family.
I thought I was ahead of where I usually was.
But it’s 2am and I’m not in bed yet.
Expect the usually 6 hours sleep at most. Christmas Eve isn’t for snoozing it seems.
Well this ends a week of shitty covid (for me at least). Starting to feel normal again, just hoping beyond hope that it doesn’t cause my wife a long covid relapse again.
@ItsMingyJongo @MrLovelyday I just tested positive too. Wasn’t positive on Monday and Thursday, so could be from the kids (one also tested positive today).
C++ Geniuses - we're looking at you! 🫵
If you're a strong engineer with professional experience in games, MPG can offer you a remote-friendly opportunity with a great work-life balance.

I mean, I’m still hopeful I’m wrong… but sticking a Dickensian-cosplaying toff in charge of energy, with a self financial interest in not pushing renewables, and I’m somewhat disillusioned
Drilling for North Sea gas and fracking is something I really disagree with
But it makes me fkking angry that it’s not part of a larger “energy independence” package that includes solar and onshore wind. Two of the cheapest and quickest ways to get an energy surplus in the UK
Just don’t do the fracking thing.
It’s a dead end. (My frakking* idiot mp is at it again suggesting stupid things)
* in the battle star galactica sense. Or the BBC micro game.
Can we please start putting up onshore wind turbines again? Stop the daft rules that make nimbyism much easier? Set up a loan scheme for solar panels and battery storage (so it pays for itself eventually)
I’m not so against Nuclear, but, you know, do the cheap electricity too?
