Hello everyone. I come with the sad news that as you are no doubt already aware, we're saying goodbye to several of our friends and colleagues here at Eurogamer. Leaving us are Tom Orry, our editorial director; our video team of Ian Higton, Zoe Delahunty-Light, and Alix Attenborough; Alex Donaldson, our editor-at-large; and Will Judd, who worked across Digital Foundry, hardware and deals. I'll start with Tom, who over the past year-plus had made himself a hugely valuable source of advice, expertise, desert-dry humour and world class poker faces (I think we just about made him laugh once, for a moment, on his final day). Tom initially began the role when Tom Phillips was our editor-in-chief here, mostly working away diligently in the background in a two-Tom-tandem doing editorial director things, before taking on a more prominent role on the site itself over the past 11 or 12 months, gracing us with some signature console nostalgia and unjustifiably intense Project Gotham Racing enthusiasm. Tom, Dom, Alex and I, along with the rest of the team, worked together closely on what a 'new Eurogamer' might look like last year, and his experience in running multiple games media sites was consistently our rock to lean on. While he may have initially seemed an outsider of sorts compared to Eurogamer chiefs of old - at least to some on the surface, coming from his 20-plus years across our sister sites VG247 and USGamer, and before that the cult-favourite site he founded in our once-rival VideoGamer - I can't stress enough how much Tom 'got' Eurogamer. His goal was for us to be at the heart of the big stories that mattered most to our readers with original, diligent reporting and on-the-button commentary, and that will absolutely continue. In immaculately on-brand, limelight-dodging Orry style, Tom opted to sneak his farewell into this past weekend's What We've Been Playing column, but I'll be damned if he gets away with it that easily. Sorry Tom. Here's what he had to say…
From myself and the whole team at @eurogamer.bsky.social, a very fond farewell and huge thank you to our friends and colleagues (thread).💙
Excellent news! Massively excited to share that our #friendandcolleague @wsjudd.bsky.social will be returning to Digital Foundry in April!
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die is the weirdest movie I've ever seen. Highly recommended. Go in blind.
Bloody love how the site looks, well done 👏👏
That's the badger!
Saw this weird cat today
Thanks!
Cheers, I thought about it probably far too much haha

We need some sort of IgNobel prize for code, like the most impressive code written to do the silliest thing, or the silliest code written to do the most impressive thing.
Potentially related, someone wrote a x86 CPU emulator in pure CSS.

Some news - today I’m launching One More Catch, an independent publication covering Pokémon Go and the next generation of Pokémon games: @onemorecatch.site
Haha thank you! It was fun to write something vaguely similar to BT books without including too much jargon
Proud to have contributed a BattleTech story to this week's What We've Been Playing at @eurogamer.bsky.social: www.eurogamer.net/what-weve-be...
Would love to see more low-slung cars, the amount of "hatchbacks" that are the size of crossovers or SUVs is crazy. Like, the Ioniq 5 is near the top of my "consider if my car's MOT luck runs out" list, but it's massive and I'd much rather have something lower and longer.

Worth a try then! I've been surprised just how many games just work after installing them through Steam. Would be curious to hear your thoughts!
Yeah good! Most distros make it easy to install the necessary drivers, and some gaming-focused ones just install them by default. AMD still better overall if you had to choose a GPU vendor for Linux specifically, but I'd give it a try with a live USB stick and see how you get on
2026 is the year of Linux on the desktop (for this guy): www.eurogamer.net/our-new-year...
After 15 minutes, I'm beginning to think Windows has a different definition of "100%"
Oh yeah that
