Time for an upgrade 😎

[Simon Parkin @SimonParkin]

I spoke to the writer Tom Bissell about pairing GTA with cocaine, the game studio that asked for the New Yorker's cover, and why, even when Werner Herzog has filmed one of your stories and you're writing Star Wars, the freelance fear never leaves you: https://t.co/EjiG9STcRT

[Malcolm Gaskill @malcolmgaskill]

Just watched Robert Eggers’s The Witch for the umpteenth time, and feeling more impressed than ever by how skilfully he makes the idea of witchcraft seem plausible, likely even, as god- and devil-fearing 17C folk are gradually overwhelmed by anxiety, conflict and domestic chaos.

[Kyle Hoekstra @kylehoekstra]

Smuggled some #historicalgaming into @pcgamer mag, talking about the timbers, tenons and chunky dowels of @APlagueTale

[Kyle Hoekstra @kylehoekstra]

This was a terrific talk with @malcolmgaskill and @MattLewisAuthor, on the power of power of belief and fear, on creating a compelling microhistory, and how 17th century dreams for the New World crumbled on contact with reality

[Malcolm Gaskill @malcolmgaskill]

Looking forward to a live Q&A at 5pm this afternoon with @HistoryHit to discuss The Ruin of All Witches.

Had the huge pleasure of making my @edgeonline debut with two pieces in this issue - covering @reachthefinals by @EmbarkStudios in Hype, plus a last word way at the back...

This Assyrian tablet records the #SpringEquinox over 2,600 years ago:

‘On the 6th day of Nisan the day and night were of equal length’. Nisan was the first month of the Assyrian calendar 🌞🌑 https://t.co/EbrNO45asf

[Lara Maiklem FSA - The London Mudlark @LondonMudlark]

A spot of streetlarking. Two late 18th century cannons on a London street. They were once street bollards so it’s unusual to see both ends… read on 1/4

@thehistoryguy There's lots for a fan of 18th-19th century warfare at the Museum of Military History ⚔️

[Kyle Hoekstra @kylehoekstra]

Oh no! The last issue of @wireframemag in print! I've been glad to contribute features and reviews over the years, and I genuinely think it's a great games magazine with an exceptional DIY spirit

[whynow Gaming: powered by Wireframe @whynowgaming]

Some sad news, dear readers. After four years, thousands of pages, and a lot of coffee, Wireframe magazine’s time is drawing to a close. A confluence of factors mean that issue 70, out today, is the final edition in print. (1/3)
