He said I've been to the year 3000 not much has changed but they live underwater and your CEX vouchers are pretty fine (for another 25 years).

Just so incredibly dumb from EA. Especially when Kingdom Come 2, a resolutely single-player game with no online or live service component, just sold a million copies in 24 hours.

Waking up and immediately checking your phone to see what insane shit Trump has done or said overnight definitely isn't healthy, but it absolutely jolts you awake.

Snapping a three game losing streak on Terraforming Mars feels gooood.

Perennial grifter and cos-playing preacher Calvin Robinson trying hard to be more known as a Nazi in the USA than Robbie Williams is known there as a singer.

*minor spoilers for Mouthwashing* For years I always wanted to see a game where you used a gun but only once in the entire runthrough. So many games where the default and contantly repeated verb is 'shoot' so that the weight of the consequences of pulling a trigger are vastly diminished. 1/4

Finally got around to playing Mouthwashing specifically so I could listen to this. 2024 was a bleak year for games in many ways but this and 1000x RESIST are shining examples of what the medium can be with small budgets, small scope and superb writing / storytelling.

Literally anyone who lived through Gamergate and it's fallout TEN years ago could have told the govt this. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Donald Trump Jnr will be relieved that the 25% tariffs for Colombia don't extend to illegal goods.

Replaying The Last Of Us Part 2 and forgot how much Ellie's unzipped bag stressed me out.

More bravery in one woman than the entire GOP put together.

You know those little bonus clips on Apple tv for 'For All Mankind' that compare the shows timeline to our own? Looking forward to the one for the next season which will say 'In 2025 Elon Musk pledged to land Americans on Mars shortly after making a Nazi salute. Twice.'

First time making mayu (black garlic oil) as a topper for tonkotsu ramen.

The condiment shelf of my fridge is slowly becoming just a shelf for ramen components. Got tares and oils for days.

The Opera House assasination in Metaphor: ReFantazio is giving big 'Assasinating Edea at the end of disc one in FFVIII' vibes. It's disc one / 50hrs in on a Atlus game. Do we really think we're taking down the big bad here?

Autosave file: Disgusting Manual save file made 3 seconds later: Stunning

Picked up Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Great concept and read so far BUT as someone with mild arachnophobia, some warning would have been nice. Oh god, the things it's making me picture in my mind.

Being level 24 in a JRPG that you're really digging is one of life's great pleasures. You've got to grip with the systems and mechanics, you're invested in your party and the story is really starting to pick up steam. Bliss.

Just met Heismay in Metaphor Re Fantazio. Great character elevated even further by sounding like Jeremy Irons in Die Hard With A Vengence.

Finally mustered up the strength to find out exactly what the deal with Sweet Baby and 'Gamergate 2' is all about and, somehow, it's even fucking dumber than the first one.

Occasional blurry environment textures were the price we paid for this rocking bod. #FF7REBIRTH #FFVIIREBIRTH

Sorry fellow Helldivers, time to duck out for a bit and fight for an actually just cause. But if you could earn those 45 medals that would be smashing... #ff7rebirth #ff7

Platinumed Spiderman 2, had a great time but the two things that most broke the immersion for me were: 1. Not once did a person I swung to an ambulance plead for me to put them down as they had no health insurance. 2. No groups of friends on rooftops in Brooklyn playing Mario Kart on Switch.
