Holy shit, Avowed. Reviews had me worried but this is classic Obsidian through and through. Everyone's focused on the combat and the visuals but the writing is still top-notch. Just done e a sidequest that warped and shifted at every single step and man I was getting New Vegas vibes.

The fact that a trans woman is in a British newspaper calling JK Rowling a witch is making me squeal with laughter haha - British libel laws mean we can’t talk so openly here but since Vera’s American she can say what she likes

Someone left a fully functional Xbox 360 in my building's lobby so now I have an Xbox 360. Playing Forza 4 and Jeremy Clarkson is telling me he's an "endangered species" because "everyone talks about global warming not speed".

I was looking forward to The Gorge but alas it's a very slow, often clunky and entirely predictable thing. Strong "We have Annihilation at home" vibes.

I'm between jobs and strapped for cash so I opened up a little shop on ko-fi, where you can find a huge Twine Grimoire TUTORIAL+DEV BUNDLE as well as a previously UNRELEASED GAME ‼️ 🪄 Grimoire resources are always free on itch, but donations help support my work. ko-fi.com/grimdev/shop

This looks bad all the way down but that final sentence is the kicker. www.eurogamer.net/sony-respond...

Did a teeny tiny bit of narrative consulting on this during its very early stages. Super excited to see how it turned out (reviews so far indicate: GOOD).

I had two medium strength pints last night and so today is utterly ruined.

Following a Trixie Mattel highlight account on insta might be the best self-care I've done in a minute.

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist. Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

Not sure how I feel about this but Baz Luhrmann might be one of my favourites? Pretty much everything he makes is flawed, sometimes irreparably so (looking at you Australia), but goddamn if each of them isn't a fucking ride. Anyway, turns out I really enjoyed Elvis.

Grant me eyes so I may see, it actually works. It's not perfect, even at 720p it's not a solid 60fps, but seeing one of my favourite games freed from its 30fps prison is a bloody (lol) marvel
