Was really looking forward to a delivery today but it's not happening because nothing works properly anymore. Obviously not a huge deal by any stretch of the imagination - just one more example of the thousand little things that are by varying measures worse than they used to be

Getting MEGA reviews on the Earth Must Die demo ahead of Next Fest

If anyone hasn't tried it yet, please do! When we get to 50 reviews we get an extra visibility boost, so every single review is unbelieveably huge to us at this point

Further thought: Pinky is maybe the best video game character of the year?

Never been a big Trophies guy, so I think this is the first time I've gone to the effort to get the Platinum since... Assassin's Creed 2 maybe? Well worth it.

Had a grim chuckle at: "Like when Alice does a deep dive into something and I'd yawn at her and go, 'It's not that deep.'"

One last push: if you HAVEN'T reviewed the EMD demo yet please do, as it'll massively help us out with Next Fest tomorrow. Downloads and reviews get us prominence, apparently.

If you HAVE reviewed it, you're a shining example of the very best type of Terranoid, well done. Big star ⭐

The Steam reviews for the EARTH MUST DIE Demo have certainly taken an unusual turn. We get an altogether better class of reviews here at Size Five Games

store.steampowered.com/app/4057540/...

Steam review: This game doesn’t merely ooze with charm — it secretes it, thick and slow, from pores that shouldn’t exist. Each surface trembles as if beneath it, something vast and unseen squirms and breathes. The charm is alive here, a sentient fluid that remembers older, wetter worlds. It seeps between pixels, whispering through the code in languages not meant for lungs.

It pulses beneath the menus like veins beneath translucent flesh, its rhythm too steady to be human. Sometimes the charm glistens with a light that isn’t reflection, a phosphorescent shimmer like the soft wink of something watching from the dark. When you play, it reaches back — not maliciously, but hungrily — tasting you through the buttons and wires.

And when you close it, you’ll feel it still. In your fingertips. In your teeth. In the soft, wet corners of your dreams.

We hung out once when Eurogamer had a get-together for all its contributors, about ten years back, and I remember you being really kind and funny. A few of us ended up going back to yours and just chatting until the early hours and I remember thinking it was the most fun I'd had in ages.

Loads of easy potential compromises here. You could put sweaty gym kit straight in the machine, and socks/undies/anything that just needs freshening up in the basket. Get one that isn't made of wicker if that's "impossible" to clean (it isn't). Or, you know, don't leave it *10 days* between washes.
