Big weekend ahead

Vinny is practicing hunting monsters.

thinking about logging into bluesky and taking something way too seriously, anyone want in on this

Vinny starts loudly complaining whenever I whack some Black Metal on. I can't believe he doesn't enjoy Swedish men going UAHHDAKAKAKAKAAKAKAKAK in the morning.

Re: MonHun on PC, you can use the new transformer model for framegen and upscaling, but there are trails on things like particles which can get distracting. 1% lows are all over the place, avg at 90-100ish FPS at 4K (Mostly ultra, RT max, DLSS Performance & Framegen) on a 5800X3D / 4080S.

Monster Hunter Wilds is good. But, it feels like Capcom overcorrected with regards to difficulty and access to its wealth of systems in low rank. You don't get a tutorial to capture a monster until around the 20-hour mark. My review: www.restart.run/articles/mon...

Reading back some older video game reviews as I am writing a new video game review. Man, I was ass.

Seeing out Friday with my first byline at TH. It's been a busy week. www.tomshardware.com/pc-component...

Zuckerberg getting divorced and Kanye getting divorced again to complete the Legion of Most Divorced Men to Ever Exist is so satisfying. Their sheer inability to deny that this is exactly who they are. The Racing Car Bed Illuminati.

Had a dream my cat got hurt and it was very awful. He is getting lots of pets.

Sayem news! I am delighted to share that I've joined the ludicrously talented team at Tom's Hardware as the site's first-ever Subscription Editor. A lot is happening behind the scenes, and I can't wait to share it with you.

Happy 17th anniversary. KEEP JUMPING www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e8z...

Sing the Sorrow. I've had it on the go at least once daily for the past few days. Classic.

PLEASE SHARE! I am looking for an Associate PR Manager to join the EU Pokémon PR team. Role will focus on our Pokémon Centre products, Animation slate and all our great licensing collabs. All information can be found here: job-boards.greenhouse.io/pokemoncaree...

It boggles my mind to see dreadful articles on big platforms, especially when covering specialist subject matters or communities. It’s blatantly obvious when reading a piece that the writer has no idea what they’re talking about.

Good googly moogly I will be bereft if I don't get tickets to this show.

Quite a lot out soon so there should be a few freelance spots (though not loads, budget still tight) on @rpgsite.net in Feb/March, especially if you're someone with a particular expertise for something on upcoming releases where we have a blind spot. Open to DMs to discuss...

Decided to take a week off before starting a new full-time job (more on that soon!) and now I am scurrying to do all the little things I've been putting off at home for the last four months. I need some nails and a hammer. These pictures won't frame themselves.

My Royal Rumble post: Big dudes are cool

I'm always seeking new opportunities, and I know there are a great number of Indie Devs on this platform, so I'd just like to share my Voice Acting Reel on the off chance someone is looking for someone with my skills and range. Don't be shy, get in touch! 😊

Fair play, screw the scalpers. www.ign.com/articles/nvi...

Hearing the entire site staff just quit, story incoming

A notable game site has denied its founder has "day to day" involvement after he imitated "a gesture that many have interpreted as a pro-Nazi salute”. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/game-si...

Substack's stance on all the grifter content it hosts was made clear long ago if you paid any tiny bit of attention to it. Use Ghost or something instead.

Does anyone know where I can sell my kidney to buy this and a Panasonic Q? Cheers. www.ign.com/articles/25-...

To my British East and south East Asian followers, i implore you to join, Poke it, Test it, Leave suggestions #BESEA it does not have to be just creators, you could be looking for some new to follow or something else to support!

If you are into the same kind of fun, old-school heavy metal as me. Give this a shot, it's a very fun record. helvetetsport.bandcamp.com/album/warlords

Last week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Shinya Arino, famed host of GameCenter CX. I'd love to speak with a few critics, journalists, or game makers who are fans of the show. If that's you, please drop me a line -- it's for a very beautiful, lavishly produced magazine. Reposts appreciated!

It's already happening 😬 www.ign.com/articles/peo...

For my fellow Ninja Gaiden lovers, if you've never seen it, the 1991 Ninja Ryukenden OVA is a surprisingly good bit of no-nonsense action animation based on the original NES games. @kinekovideo.bsky.social did a very nice rip of the LaserDisc you can watch on YouTube!

Stayed up till 3 AM playing Ninja Gaiden 2 Black. Doing glorious 4K Izuna drops. We are so back.

It's bizzare to me that this modder managed to get access to this kind of player data. www.ign.com/articles/fin...

Too many games, too many things, it feels good to be busy for the first time in ages.
