@darylbaxter.comAgain, I go back to the point of - these people aren't your friends.
It's another take to justify X without saying it directly.
We can do better - follow other outlets and people that don't cater to this.

@darylbaxter.comVery much appreciate how The Repo / CD Romance is now labelling some games as AI-generated. Helps me avoid them much more quickly

@darylbaxter.comUp very early today.
But a question to anyone awake: I’ve got a bunch of interviews going up on @dbspringboard.bsky.social soon - a couple that have taken months to sort.
Is it a stretch to have some of these behind a free sign-up wall?
@dbspringboard.bsky.socialReposted by @darylbaxter.comNew video: I answer a bunch of questions for 30 minutes.
From the new book, to challenges, and much more.

@darylbaxter.comHope you’re ok
@darylbaxter.comI’m also nearing 500 subscribers on the newsletter, which is wild to me too.

@darylbaxter.comJust noticed this. For something that I’m making up as I go along each week, this is nice to see. Thank you.

We're delivering pizza, we're watching a baby getting eaten by a fish, and we're watching me losing the will to live. It's a fun time!
Obscure & Forgotten PS1 Games Vol.18 is out now!
@darylbaxter.comThis was fun to do.
@ianbetteridge.comReposted by @darylbaxter.comFormer editor here. People who write thousands over the word count are marginally less awful than people who miss deadlines. If you do both you have no business being a professional writer.

You’re welcome.

@darylbaxter.comWatched ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ last night on Disney Plus. It’s alright - but it’s more of a concert film than the story of the Gallaghers. Which is, fine, but the pacing just felt all over the place from the halfway point. Great bit on Mani’s death, though.

@darylbaxter.comSounds like Bridge Crew
@tuftymctavish.comReposted by @darylbaxter.com📺 I am finding that I like hearing the story behind the books - what inspired them, how they came to be made, etc. A peek behind the scenes if you like.
This one’s a svelte edition next to the chonky Tomb Raider tome beside it.

@darylbaxter.comReposted by @darylbaxter.comFantastic read.
I'd also say that there are plenty of new sites/newsletters now, finding their niche.
@onemorecatch.site, @postmode.bsky.social, Kyusai, Hanafuda by @brandrick.bsky.social, mine at @dbspringboard.bsky.social - it's early days but it does feel like the start of something else.
