I've finished with clubs where the music's loud. PC Gamer.

Not many people have the greatest compliment in their life on video, but now I do.

[Adso Øvbelk @AdsoOfBelk]

Frankly the tariffs on Sweden should be higher because Paradox games are a form of fentanyl for our sensitive young men

[Rich Stanton @RichJStanton]

Not to get too wanky about it but it's a bit like Old English poetry. It is a whole other language and mode of expression & the poems and their ideas exist within and strain against those limits. OG Pac-Man delivers a great game experience in 2025 with the tech of 1980. 45 years!

[Rich Stanton @RichJStanton]

Absolute madness. Anyone who can't have fun with Doom doesn't like games. FFS a Pong machine is still great fun, I had my kids hooked on an old Pac-Man cab on holiday last year, they adored it. A whole lot of old games are miracles.

[Anon Opin. @anon_opin]

People romanticise old games too much. Most of the are pretty poor by today's standards. GoldenEye. Tomb Raider. Doom. Horribly clunky. Aged like milk.

Fucksake Celtic.

[Rich Stanton @RichJStanton]

@AndyMcCrimmon If that’s the reason that is crackers. His choice and his career but I suspect down the line he may realise the grass isn’t always greener.

[Rich Stanton @RichJStanton]

Not Kyogoal! Brilliant player and will be very sad to see him leave. Not exactly sure Rennes is a step up either but have to respect his choice, he’s given us some great times. We badly need a finisher to replace him. https://t.co/tcRHob4DpQ

@ThatFuzzyTiger Or yesterday https://t.co/oAIEu9q87I

[Rich Stanton @RichJStanton]

Watched the first half hour of Beast Games and it made me so angry I bashed out 1500 words on my day off. It is somehow even more crass and exploitative than the worst of his YouTube content, and that’s saying something. And a lot of the contestants are absolute melts, to boot.

[Rich Stanton @RichJStanton]

@ThatFuzzyTiger I need to force myself to finish the first episode at least and should probably try and stomach one or two more just for the sake of fairness. But yes I’ll probably have something about it up on PCG this week.

A UFO true believer made a grand strategy space game with input from alien abductees, but now claims shadowy forces have shut it down with a bomb threat https://t.co/kPqUon5Wks

@robsaunders1 I suspect the obvious pick is Moyes. But yeah it’s not exactly the most appealing job in football, albeit there’s going to be more money and the new stadium soon. I saw someone say Mourinho which seems like cloud cuckoo land.

[Rich Stanton @RichJStanton]

I feel bad for Dyche, who as far as I’m concerned has performed miracles in keeping Everton in the Premier League with little backing, as well as having to deal with point deductions from before his time. The grass is not always greener. https://t.co/ES6CC8w0Gg

[Rich Stanton @RichJStanton]

I understand Evertonians want a team that is competitive at the other end of the table, & it doesn’t help Liverpool are so strong right now. But you’ve got to be realistic, Dyche inherited a mess and (mostly) had to work with what was there. He can leave with his head held high.

[Rich Stanton @RichJStanton]

Ernie Hudson also has the secret to eternal life. The original cast all look their age, which is *old*, and no shame in that of course. That dude looks like he walked off the set of Ghostbusters 2 a few months ago. He’s 79 and looks in his forties.

[Rich Stanton @RichJStanton]

Watched Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, thought it was the best film they’ve managed since the original two. A few lulls in otherwise great dialogue, but the “possessor” ghost especially was wonderful and creatively used, and I adore Ray Stantz as a slightly washed-up ghost junkie.

[Jason Smith @JasozzGames]

actually what the hell, ive got a few minutes to burn

[Rich Stanton @RichJStanton]

@vytalow @PyroJoe I can only respond by stealing an @Octaeder favourite: None of these words are in the Bible.

[localthunk @LocalThunk]

Does this mean we can make Balatro: GOTY edition?

[Rich Stanton @RichJStanton]

@DanDawkins RE Rashford remember Jaap Stam? Published his book, with some indiscreet details of how Sir Alex had secured his signature. World-class centre back still in his prime. Out the door the next day at warp speed, thanks bye. That’s why players were terrified, not just the hairdryer.

[Rich Stanton @RichJStanton]

@DanDawkins Part of United’s problem is they’re so big, the money is always there for a change or a new signing, while the players make bank and are treated like kings regardless of on-pitch success. So hard to rebuild that brutal but elite mentality they used to have.
