The name is Paul, I live in #NorthernIreland with my partner and our cute British shorthair #Cat Truffles and ragdoll cat Gizmo. I like #Music, #Books, #VideoGames, #Food, #Tea and #Rum. These things will be the subjects I post most about.

“Get off that bloody internet, I need to use the phone” #90sNostalgia

"Don't be tough until you have to Take your hеartbreak on the chin Don't forget the shit you went through But throw your caution to the wind Tighten up your belt and laces Feel the pain and feel it pass Don't be tough until you have to Let love knock you on your ass" #DontBeTough #JasonIsbell #Music

I am such a sucker for a sad #Country ballad

One man, his guitar and his words. THIS is #Music jasonisbell.bandcamp.com/album/foxes-...

Tonight I am sipping #Brandy and listening to Jason Isbell's Foxes in the Snow. That's how you spend a Saturday night #Music

Fun fact: I have never seen Star Wars or Star Trek. All I know about them is what I’ve gleaned from internet memes. I am a terrible nerd.

The world needs more cuteness #Pokemon #Plushies www.nintendolife.com/news/2025/03...

Introversion is just situational and/or conditional extroversion #Introvert #Extrovert

That introversion is not a personality trait and people are very rarely introverted all of the time. In fact, someone who describes as an "introvert" quite frequently will behave in an extroverted way in situations where they feel comfortable. Introvert or extrovert is not binary.

My TBR is nuts #Booksky

I love this. So much better than excluding poorer kids with the usual dressing up for #WorldBookDay www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Further proof that #VideoGames reviewers, journalists and YouTubers are out of touch with most gamers: #MonsterHunterWilds is the third most played game on #SteamDeck this week despite everyone saying how bad it runs. (#BG3 stubbornly staying high on the chart shows the same) #Gaming

Today is #WorldBookDay. Go out and find a copy of a banned book and read it. #ReadBannedBooks

The M4 #MacBook Air is tempting. Its quite the upgrade from my M1 MacBook Air

When I play on Steam Deck I am mostly using headphones, but the odd time I do go without them and I am always impressed with how good the speakers are

#Food opinion: the shin is the most underrated cut of beef. Lends itself so well to slow cooked soups, stews and casseroles

The best soup in the world is an Irish mammy’s homemade vegetable and beef shin soup. All you need is carrots, leeks, celery, potatoes, a good hunk of beef shin on the bone and enough barley soup mix to make it so thick you could eat it with a fork. Top up with water season and slow cook. #Food

Homemade soup is the most comforting #Food in the world

The Playstation Portal is a textbook example of just because you are not the market for something, does not mean there is no market for it.

Not bad for a device all the armchair experts said no one wanted after it was announced www.pushsquare.com/news/2025/03...

Steam is having a women's day sale. Games made by women led studios going cheap store.steampowered.com/sale/WomensD...

Astarion has been added to official D&D canon. Here's hoping my best girl Karlach will also be added #Gaming #BG3 #DnD

Monster Hunter Wilds is now live on GeForce NOW!

Playstation are not "struck" by #Layoffs, they are indulging in layoffs. Layoffs are an executive class indulgence, and saying companies get "struck by layoffs" is saying that the companies are the victims but the real victims are those having their jobs stolen www.pushsquare.com/news/2025/03...

Do you think that someone like me who bounced off World and Rise, and who is generally pretty shit at games would enjoy Monster Hunter Wilds?

The good thing about the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 name discourse is that it is a good way to separate the thinkers who are willing to engage their curiosity from the chaff who will dunk on something without wanting to know the context behind it.

Well that's a success www.pushsquare.com/news/2025/03...

Visual novels deserve more respect than they get. They are great, they count as reading AND as playing games.

Mobile gaming is "real gaming".

1) An enhanced remaster of the 2 most popular games in the series. 2) A new canon game on the most popular gaming platform (mobile) 3) A new anime 4) A new manga adaptation Konami is firing on all cylinders to revive Suikoden and the "fans" are whining. This is why we can't have nice things.

for the late crowd (l’americain) arguing about what’s in a name: a lot actually, and it’s all in service of one of the most interesting worlds I’ve seen in a while. so judge an RPG by the punctuation in its name at your peril

Now trying to figure out what game to play next #Gaming

And Trails Through Daybreak 2 has been completed. Falcom doesn't put things in the games for no reason, this sets us up for some wild shit in the next game.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is gonna be a great game And, for the record, that's a damn fine name for the game

Damn, Trails Through Daybreak 2, I didn't see that coming just before the final boss fight

I'm really looking forward to Clair Obscur Expedition 33 now youtu.be/ciNTAq-yNIg

Finding the #Empathy for someone is not always easy, but it is ALWAYS worthwhile.

Anyone surprised by today’s news story that young people are struggling connecting with people and turning to #ASMR videos hasn’t been paying attention.

Renne Bright may just be one of the best written female characters in all of video games
