@MightyKeef Congrats mate! Though why does it feel like I've seen that unattributed thumbnail picture before ohhhhh right https://t.co/iVOYggVbBf

[James Archer @JamesAndStuff]

Okay I've lost patience. Butterfly app profile: https://t.co/adjenpTCbp

Been too long since I've done a big, fat, researchy feature. Didn't make me any better at CS though

Inside Snap Tap, the new hotness keyboard feature outlawed by Valve - https://t.co/CH9GKkSMh3

[James Archer @JamesAndStuff]

This is deeply surreal!

Anyone wanna buy my childhood home lol https://t.co/QVNI5F8KSp

Heavy TF2 was NOT what I was expecting to see on BBC news this evening

[James Archer @JamesAndStuff]

@wsjudd Yeah that's my understanding too (except the Prius, which feels like the *whole car* came from AliExpress). The i20 looks quite good, now that you mention it!

[James Archer @JamesAndStuff]

Am looking at buying a car, which is terrifying complicated. Hence, I've developed a hierarchy of needs that I can just hand to the salesperson while smiling in silence

[James Archer @JamesAndStuff]

@wsjudd I sat in a nice Golf and my head bumped the ceiling :(

[James Archer @JamesAndStuff]

@wsjudd First choice so far is this - https://t.co/PJ47V8TH9a - but am wondering if long-term I'd prefer something taller? Like a CX-5 or a Qashqai

[James Archer @JamesAndStuff]

@wsjudd I've just spent two hours looking around a dealership and pretty much everything seemed to be in the 50-60 range so that seems like a good assessment!

[James Archer @JamesAndStuff]

@Byrneinator I just can't, the fact that they can move without the accelerator pedal short-circuits something in my brain :(

[James Archer @JamesAndStuff]

@wsjudd Oh thanks! Can you tell me what a 'good' MPG rating is these days?

[Ki. @itsdjki]

if someone says soundcloud is dead send them this

[James Archer @JamesAndStuff]

I won't be at EGX this weekend but I *will* be the Friends prop showcase next door, which I guess is just the turn my life has taken

[James Archer @JamesAndStuff]

Zipcar replacing all the manuals in east London with automatic Nissan Jukes, this must be that "war on motorists" thing I've heard about

[Rock Paper Shotgun @rockpapershot]

There's a future where you and this bucket that fits over your head decide what a game meant to say, not the useless idiots that made it

@Neeto_Makar This ruined my weekend

[James Archer @JamesAndStuff]

Not much surprises me in games anymore but three different Disco Elysium successors being announced in one day is *extremely* funny

[Rock Paper Shotgun @rockpapershot]

Sure, why not - third group of former Disco Elysium devs announce "revolutionary new RPG studio" https://t.co/pil5Qd1MAf

Every time I load up twitter dot com I regret not taking that joint Master's in immunology, contemporary warfare, and Chagos Island history that everyone else did
