I wouldn’t have guessed that a redesign of the aesthetic of the iPhone interface is what makes me look at Android seriously, but here we are.
It will basically depend on if I can transfer my Puzzle and Dragons save.

Lunchtime climbing is the shit. In and out in an hour. Knackered.
Since I started, my sciatica has disappeared, even though when I'm not climbing, I'm basically at my desk. I thought it was a stretching thing, but it turns out it was a strength thing.

Playing Ash in Brawl Stars and feel simultaneously so seen and so offended at the same time.
Any character that opens up a battle shouting "I'm so manky!" is an immediate main for any self-respecting Scot.

Is it a work post? Yes. Does that make this game any less awesome? No.

How does Ball X Pit have so many systems and dependencies and complexity and yet is still so simple and brilliant and I LOVE KENNY SUN (and friends).

I live in a world where someone telling me they put me on their Asana board makes my day more than getting checked out at a bar.
At least, I assume it made my day more. Only one of these things has happened in the last decade.

This is serious business.
This took a while to do. I compared Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions, and Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles for @rpgsite.net going over features, platform differences, visuals, load times for all the versions, and more: www.rpgsite.net/feature/1859...

Apart from my kids, of course. I’m special, and therefore they must be special.

Journalists who use their kids as reference points seem to forget that their kids are only special to them. Not to us.
If you tell me your 8 year old child loved a game, all I hear is an 8 year old child loved a game. And I have children, so I know. Their opinion is worthless.

One of the best parts about working with fellow Scots again is not having to worry I'll get pulled into HR again for saying fuckin bawbag in a meeting.

When working on a game with many kinds of spaceships in it, one should prepare to be exposed to an astonishing amount of phalluses.

Man! At the end of a season in Konfronto a bunch of your winning runs get entered into a tournament, and then they duke it out offline.
Sadly, nobody could beat Doctorghost's two entries.

I welcome any advice from parents of families with 3+ Switches in their household. How are you handling the Virtual Cart system?! The linking and unlinking is really rough.

Man, I am super digging Konfronto right now. It fixes the two things that caused me to bounce off Backpack Battles, PLUS it has the best space-based puns.
It's full nerd dad mode. Which works for me, because I am also always full nerd dad mode.

£10 to give a 5 star review for an Amazon product isn’t bad at all! I would have guessed there are more cost effective ways to bump up this score though.
