Wrapping Up 2026 — and Looking Ahead to 2027

My book will finally see the light of day in 2027. As you know, I have been working on it for a few years at a steady pace, and it’s difficult to convey just how hard it was to write it in parts. But some stories need to be told, and I hope it will reach the people out there who are just trying to survive — and who are searching for what I hope is a unique, independent voice. My attention now shifts to getting it published.

Looking back at 2026: I was happy to bring you Screentime Plus and Encore Call this year as an evolution of what’s coming next, as I continue to publish content I hope you’ll enjoy. I’m not doing this for profit — I fund every project out of my own pocket, and the only support I will ever receive going forward is through the books I write. The goal is simply a great utility for us all, and it’s certainly evolving into that kind of experience.

I have been so humbled by the people who have visited the new websites I’ve built, and on Bluesky, where some of my followers have reached out to talk about GTA and Manchester United. To everyone who has supported me over the years — some from the very beginning, others more recently — thank you. It gives me a sense of direction and a firm intention to carry on trying in the best way I can. It’s therapeutic, and it helps me in more ways than you will ever know.

There’s also another big project I’m working on outside of writing: something to give everyone a platform to be who they are and connect us all online in a way that hasn’t really been tried before. More on that soon.

I love writing for you all, and I hope you’ve had a few laughs at some of the titles of my recent articles — they’re mostly just light-hearted banter, really. The Game Awards will be my focus next as I wind down writing on the website for this year.

Here’s to the book, the new project, and everything 2027 will bring. Thanks for being here for it.
