I swore I wouldn't use this platform for political commentary but it's important to help stand with those who need support right now. And in that vein, fuck this headline, the reporter, The Daily Record, and fuck anyone who thinks cis women are/were the victims here and need any kind of apology. 🏳️‍⚧️

My definition of woman does not, and never will, exclude trans women. The UK Supreme Court just granted a swathe of vile old white women (and others) permission to drop the pretense and just outright discriminate against a subsection of women who have been betrayed by this moment. This is a sad day.

The #NintendoSwitch2 leaks have been around for weeks, the reveal trailer only being a tour of how the console looks visually feels like a dramatic disappointment. We knew what it looked like. Yes, new Mario Kart being shown for a few seconds is cool, but surely you respond sooner, or with more?

My FantasyCritic league have drafted their games, and I am in the dangerous position of having ZERO release dates in my draft. Let's cross these fingers. #FantasyCritic

My kingdom for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 4.

"Hey, you have a terrible attention span and hop between hobbies. What's your new one this month?" "First...how dare you? Second..." #miniaturepainting #miniatures #D&D

Nintendo: "We've had fun together this year...right?" Me: 😐

The Warhammer DLC for PowerWash Simulator can eat not one, but two bags of dicks. The fact you don't give us the triple nozzle is just not cool. 😩 But with that DLC run through a second time (Prev. Xbox, now Steam) I am absolutely never powerwashing a giant Warhammer vehicle ever again.

Got my delivery of #MarvelUnited Multiverse from CMON. Back this Kickstarter as my third Marvel United set (after the original and X-Men runs) and really enjoy what they do with these. More boxes to work through and decks to try out.

The biggest takeaway from this year in gaming is that men need better role models, mentors, conversations and world view. I really do think we are hitting DEFCON 1 levels of toxicity in the online space and it needs addressing in a real way.

This year is the first year for ages I've felt TGA struck a very palatable balance between the announcements, the awards and the ads. I still wish more awards got full spots (Games for Impact and Accessibility in the pre-show feels disrespectful). I get breezing over the genre-specifics though.

Thank fuck we get someone willing to preach and speak out before presenting Game of the Year. Mad respect for Swen Vincke 👏

The way Geoff Keighley started that announcement, I 100% believed we were about to get Half-Life 3. An Okami sequel is big news but I really thought we were about to see history made there for a second

I'm more than happy to allow The Game Awards to have me tear up to pay credit to such an incredible person working to make the gaming industry a more accommodating space.

Work brought me to a shooting activity for Christmas and are currently all surprised by the fact I'm very good at this.

I wish POE2 every success but it's a weird continuation of players paying extra to get 'early' access, which the developers aren't even necessarily going to be able to deliver on.

I think 2025 might be the year I start painting miniatures again. It's only been 15 years, what's the worst that could happen?

Two stages of writing: 1) This shouldn't take too long 2) Oh no

#SpotifyWrapped The collapse of my last relationship did me dirty with that top spot. 1. Stick Season - Noah Kahan 2. Working For The Weekend - MAX, bbno$ 3. Brightside - Arrested Youth 4. Dear Future Self (Hands Up) - Fall Out Boy 5. The Middle - Jimmy Eat World

Big fan of getting gaming data out! This is the True Achievements #MyXboxStory @trueachievements.com

I regret to inform you all that Bluesky has hit “I’m getting asked about it in meetings” levels of taken seriously in terms of marketing.

Shocking nobody who's seen me play Pokémon.

I'd like to see #TheGameAwards prioritise full retail releases for new game releases/IPs/titles only because I feel like we need *some* way to encourage development of new titles, rather than being eligible to win Best Narrative with a narrative two decades old, or win Game of the Year with DLC.

Might ramble a little about Dragon Age: The Veilguard as I play My biggest thought now is that I wish the MCU-ification of media wasn't so obvious through the dialogue. I'm the sarcastic one, don't you all join in! I did like this though from an early cutscene #dragonage #theveilguard #spoilers

Finishing Dragon Age: Inquisition for the first time last night and moving straight on to Dragon Age: The Veilguard has me feeling very conflicted as a long-time fan of the series (Inquisition came out at a bad/busy time for me). Although, I do still love what they did with this opening 'trilogy'.

I collect board games, own 19 inches of Venom and have an unbuilt Lego Tallneck. Open to questions.

I booked this week off expecting to use it to play Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Bug I needed October to finish Dragon Age: Inquisition, sat on my pile of shame for too long having never beat it. I have spent this week playing Inquisition. I have failed myself. On the plus side, I did just bone Dorian.
