Gaming industry satire for people who are tired of the industry treating them like idiots.

Today (May 26) was supposed to be #GTA6 day.

Instead I'm outside. Touching grass. Like an NPC.

Now pushed to Nov 19, 2026. It's been 13 years since GTA V. Kids who played V in 2013 now have kids waiting for VI.

What you playing today instead?

@ParalivesGame drops tonight. In a few hours I will be a 38-year-old man building a curved-wall cottage for a Parafolk I designed to look exactly like my ex. This is normal. We are all normal here.

PS Plus prices have gone up across every tier, not just Essential. Monthly subs now start at £7.99 / $10.99, with Extra at £11.99 / $16.99 and Premium at £14.99 / $19.99. Three-month plans are up too: £21.99, £34.99 and £43.99. Gaming remains fun; paying more to access half of it remains deeply normal.

A new UK gaming showcase, For One Night Only, has been announced for July 29 at Outernet London, with IO Interactive and Criterion among the first confirmed studios. Britain gets its own showcase. Tea-powered trailers, presumably.

Warhorse Studios, the Kingdom Come: Deliverance team, is making a new open-world RPG set in The Lord of the Rings universe. So yes, Middle-earth may soon have historically accurate mud, soup, and inventory anxiety.

Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core hits Steam Early Access today, May 20: 1-4 player co-op FPS roguelite, procedurally generated caves, alien horrors, elite Reclaimers, and the usual workplace policy of “send dwarves into hell and call it mining.”

Rock and Stone, but now with performance reviews.

Finally, a use for the 14,000 cursed pictures in my camera roll besides “storage almost full” anxiety.

Have console wars, somehow, survived another patch?

PlayStation is reportedly drawing a line in the sand: narrative single-player games like Ghost of Yotei, Saros, and Marvel’s Wolverine are expected to stay PlayStation-exclusive rather than head to PC.

Apparently even our backlogs need a cost-of-living adjustment.

PS Plus Essential is reportedly getting a price increase for new members from 20 May 2026, with the 1-month tier rising to £7.99 / $10.99 / €9.99.

#BEATMYSTACK V1.0 IS LIVE!

https://t.co/O49aynqlFk to sign up!

It tracks your gaming library across #Steam, #Xbox and #PlayStation, then quietly asks why you own 2000 games and still say "nothing to play."

Your backlog has entered the boss fight.

Virtuos says it would love to bring GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 to Nintendo Switch, with technical director Andy Fong saying the team is “eager” to adapt both Rockstar giants. Not an official announcement, but given Virtuos handled L.A. Noire on Switch, it’s a very spicy maybe.

#ForzaHorizon6 is absolutely flying out of the gate!

Early Access only opened on May 15 for Premium Edition players, and it’s already smashed 170K+ concurrent players on Steam, more than doubling FH5’s all-time peak. It’s also climbed into Steam’s top sellers before full launch even hits on May 19.

Japan setting + Horizon formula = chaos. Playground Games cooked.

The game I was working on is on the back burner, just for a while as I try and build up the Beat My Stack brand.

Work on the Beat My Stack app has taken over, once that is under control, I will be working on Town to Metropolis again.

It is finally Day 5...
Had a rather unfortuanate last 7 days. With family illness and hospital visits. Things are slowly getting back to normal. So I was able to get back at it for a few hours today.
For anyone interested. https://t.co/O49aynqTuS is now live. It's in very early development. So if you do try it out, know that there will be bugs and lots of them.
I just wanted to get something out there after an awful week. If you do try it and find some bugs, please DM me or leave a reply on this tweet. Any help is welcome!
