Finished Alan Wake tonight, such a great game. I originally played an hour of it and deleted it in 2010 because I didn’t like the torch mechanic. 15 years later and it’s up there with some of my favourite story games. Okay combat, great vibes, fantastic story 8.8/10 for me.

Well apparently I have big NPC energy and I’m not mad about that 🕹️🎮

There’s no such thing as the perfect T-Shi………………

For me, there will never be a better catharsis than playing video games. 🕹️🎮

While working away I’m putting my ROG Ally X handheld to some good use for starting on my backlog of steam games. Alan Wake is starting me off, and I had no idea it was so good. 🕹️🎮

After making a few posts on different social apps about what I think of the Switch 2, I’ve come to the conclusion there’s are far too many Nintendo fanboys that just walk around with their eyes closed when presented with any reasonable criticism of anything Nintendo.

You know it makes the most sense 🕹️🎮

If as a game developer you ever mutter the words “I best make this npc escort quest at just under walking pace” then I hope there’s a Lego in your shoe for eternity.

I REFUSE to spent 800 AUD on a Switch 2, so naturally I went out and spent double that on a ROG Ally X instead. As you do. 😎🕹️🎮

Unfortunately we’re having another short break from streaming, this time not on purpose. I’m strapped up for the next few weeks, but we’ll return to streaming once I get this bad boy off.

Nice and simple meaty lunch from Franks BBQ here in Perth with wifey, I’m absolutely stuffed now. 🍖 🥩

Well ain’t that the truth 🕹️🎮

There’s no better Scottish insult than Yer Da sells Avon, and no I won’t elaborate.

Hey that last bullet might make all the difference 🕹️🎮

That would soon get video game developers trying harder to make their game playable before release instead of letting us beta test at full price. 🕹️🎮

I wish I was one of those kids 🕹️🎮

My wife told me I was terrible in bed….. …..I told her it was unfair to make a judgement in less than 12 seconds.

My back pain didn’t need this today 🕹️🎮

Peace was never an option 🕹️🎮

I actually hate the advent of AI. Almost half of my feed on multiple platforms is now ai generated “content “ This stunts the growth of any real talent and we’re left with is soulless videos created by a handful of key words. No thanks, you can keep it.

Hey grumpy, why haven’t you been active for the last few days?

A stack of these was a valid present back in the day.

*sad nostalgia noises* 🕹️🎮

Never give me destructible environments or I get far too distracted 🕹️🎮

As an avid gamer one of my biggest frustrations of modern gaming is the literal thousands of dollars I’ve spent over the years on these games that I apparently don’t even own.

There’s no other way to test it 🕹️🎮
