Took a peek at #MomodaraMoonlitFarewell today. Absolutely gorgeous, but fell prey to quite a few of my personal metroidvania bugbears. moviesgamesandtech.com/2025/02/22/r... #VideoGames #Gaming #Metroidvania 🎮

Gave #SengokuDynasty a whirl today. I had to piece my thoughts together from scratch on this one, as I was so busy playing it that I kept forgetting to make notes. And that's gotta be a positive. 🎮 moviesgamesandtech.com/2025/02/15/r... #VideoGames #Review #MoviesGamesAndTech

Had a look at #MarkoftheDeep today. Some nice ideas, but struggling to tread water in an ocean full of genres. moviesgamesandtech.com/2025/02/05/r...

Reviewed #SniperEliteResistance today. Everything is lovely from a distance, but gets a bit wobbly up close. moviesgamesandtech.com/2025/01/27/r... #MoviesGamesAndTech #Rebellion #VideoGames 🎮

Thought: what artistic medium has the highest barrier to entry? I would instinctually say video games, due to the combination of coding and art knowledge needed, but these days with stock assets and more user friendly engines, I'm not sure. I've not (yet) tried game dev though, so take with salt.

Shoulda kept my pie hole shut

Doing uni work, learning about soil composition, and my mood is ranging from 'this is fascinating, soil is awesome', to 'if I have to hear the phrase 'clay minerals' one more bloody time I'm going to bury myself in the damn soil'.

Somewhat surprised the Switch 2 is named something straightforward and not, like, the Nintendo Switch UP or something.

Reviewed #DragonTakers today. A pleasant story, shackled to some pretty uninspired gameplay. Nice music, though. moviesgamesandtech.com/2025/01/17/r...

Late to the party, but a call for support for the lady whose videos have the bestest-unsettling-est vibes!

Finally surrendered in the fight against male pattern baldness and chopped my hair off. My one solace is that at least character creation in RPGs will be a lot quicker.

Took a look at #Alaloth today. Has a lot of promising notes, but spreads itself a tad too thin. Did enjoy wandering around the world and checking off dungeons, but my brain burned out from the sheer amount of dry writing. moviesgamesandtech.com/2025/01/11/r...

Shout out to the man who was loudly singing Creep by Radiohead in Spoons. At 10 am on a Friday.

Was a bit nippy this morning

Thinking about this ghostbusters pinball machine I played in a short lived bar. Every time I played, it let out an ear shattering screech and the whole place went dead silent. Never happened to my mates, only me. Stuck to dig-dug on the arcade cabinet after the second time.

I reviewed #SINceMemories #OffTheStarrySky and never felt older in my damn life... moviesgamesandtech.com/2025/01/04/r... #MoviesGamesandTech

Took a look at GreedFall II's Early Access today. It's promising but almost unbearably rough around the edges. Perhaps too 'early' for Early Access? moviesgamesandtech.com/2024/12/22/r... #GreedFall2 #MoviesGamesAndTech #Review

Testing out this newfangled account with a serious, hard-hitting question: My burgers keep shrinking when cooking, any advice to prevent? Have tried pressing in a dip with my thumb. Generally cooking on a griddle on the hob.
