The video game industry is in a tough spot. Microsoft’s effort to remake it hasn’t helped.

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with @nathangrayson to discuss huge Xbox layoffs and how Microsoft’s plan to remake gaming around Game Pass hasn’t panned out.

You should regularly update your introduction post, so that's what I'm doing.

You can call me Bob, and I'm a thirty-something year old living on Awabakal land (Newcastle) in Australia.

I came to the Fediverse because I valued, and wanted, conversation rather than "engagement". Kindness over the rabid hatred and bigotry that existed over on Twitter.

I liked it so much I decided to start an instance. And that's where we are now.

The main thing I talk about here is video games. I'm a fan of pretty much all gaming genres, but some of my favourites from over the years are:

  • Tomb Raider
  • Dragon Age
  • Cities: Skylines
  • Future Cop: LAPD
  • Transport Fever

I game on Linux!

I have a wonderful wife @Jamies, and a lot of animals. We have two cats, Pumpkin & Nutmeg, and three greyhounds, Waffle, Tim Tam & Fairy Floss.

I'm passionately anti-greyhound racing, and have fostered five rescued greyhounds in 2025 as of this post (including Floss who is a foster fail). Greyhounds are a really special breed of dog and they do not deserve the abuse, pain and needless deaths they endure every day as part of the industry.

I'm also passionately anti-bigotry, and I need to get better at verbalising it. I've watched on in shock as the world has taken lurch toward bigotry, racism, homophobia and transphobia. People should have the right to be who they authentically are without fearing being abused, attacked, or eliminated as we're seeing in the USA right now.

I'm also recently diagnosed with ADHD, which was a long time coming and a deep relief for me. I'd always felt as though something wasn't quite right in life, and that just living seemed harder for me than it is for many people around me. Understanding ADHD and how dopamine works in the body suddenly made my life make so much sense.

I'm unashamedly empathic, and will reach out if I see someone struggling. I won't take offence if you tell me to leave you alone.

#QuestionOfTheDay fictional prospect draft! You have the #1 pick in a draft of fictional heroes/heroines BEFORE they became heroic or powerful. You have no idea who the rest of your cast or party will be and no idea what other fictional characters you can acquire later or put around your draft pick so they may not necessarily develop into the powerful/heroic character they do in normal canon.

You can pick from any work of fiction.

Who do you choose to lead your party in a quest of unknown challenges and difficulty?

Hello everyone!

Yesterday I released my many years in the making Atari ST game.

"Galactic Panic: A Questionable Adventure" is a lighthearted point-and-click game, payable in English and French.

It should work on any ST, STE or Falcon030. A HDD is required!

Get it from https://insert-studio-name.itch.io/galactic-panic

It's free! Donations are welcome though.

A gif composed of 5 cycling screenshots of the game "Galactic Panic". It's picturing a point & click game in the LucasArt style (a moveable character in front of a background with a list of commands and an inventory at the bottom of the screen). It has a pixel art aesthetic and is playable in a 320 per 240 pixel resolution. On each screenshot we can see the protagonist in different locations to get an idea of how the game looks.
