I’m officially abandoning ship here and heading over to the 🦋 site. I know I don’t post much here anyways (or over there - yet!), but would love for anyone following me here to do so there!

Oh hey that’s my article! This took an eternity to put together, so I’m glad so many people have seen and enjoyed it over the last 5 years. Being a small part of Vooks history is a nice little cherry on top.

The fun little 🔥index on Vooks is being depreciated. (a combo of views, likes) Because of the site's growth it's put us into server jail, had to remove the code that makes it work to get out. To keep it would triple hosting costs. This is now the most 🔥story forever.

Vooks turns 25 this year. This year we've seen tremendous growth, smashing our own records - which is all good news. Until the server bill drops. So we made this guide on how you can support our work & keep us indie without doing much. vooks.net/how-to-support-voo…

It’s baffling that WB has seen the reactions online to the upcoming Suicide Squad game and arrived at the decision that more of its games should be live service titles. What are they smoking

So ashamed of this fucking country. Such a small, tiny gesture, and even that was too much.

Sadly missing PAX again this year. To all those in Melbourne, I hope you have the most wonderful time! Fingers crossed I can get there next year.
