We are live with Dave playing Xcom2 1st ever playthrough as voted for by our discord. www.twitch.tv/thewonkygamers

So far this year I have started or tried out 15 games. Abandoned - 4 Will come back to - 7 Currently playing - 4 Finished - 0 Not happy with this ratio, but I'm struggling to find something to stick with.

Downloading videos from Twitch on mass and deleting the Twitch version now that the limit has been introduced, have been lax in doing it for a long while.

Last night Laura was the bravest Helldiver who ever did Helldive....honest guv. www.twitch.tv/thewonkygame...

Tonight the Super Earth Network is bringing you live coverage of some of our brave Helldivers via Rover Cam as they fight for YOU! Join these valiant heroes in their brave endeavours the like of which we have never seen the like of which! Remember Freedom Conquers All! www.twitch.tv/thewonkygame...

Other half went to doctors this afternoon due to her suffering repeated dizzy spells. They think an inner ear problem, been referred to a ear specialist and given some pills. Is still going to stream tonight because she isn't getting dizzy while sitting down.

As a child and young teenager I loved Time Team, it was my intro into history, a love I went on to study at Uni. Now watching old episodes on Youtube I'm seeing guest experts I met at uni. Dr William Rathouse was studying his doctorate while I was there and Dr Janet Burton one of my lecturers.

Laura was born in Wales, my surname is Bee, so I guess any offspring we have would look like this.

After the fiasco of the last week of streaming Dave returns to start Xcom2 for the 1st time ever after a discord vote. Laura away today with her mother. www.twitch.tv/thewonkygamers

With all the uncertainty and such in the world with how things are going I feel a growing wish to blow all my money on things now and enjoy what I have while it lasts.

So I promise I didn't buy The Oregan Trail remake on PS5 yesterday while Laura wasn't here to stop me. It's a legendary game that I have never played from a time period I have spent some time studying, self justice mode engaged.

Busy couple of days here, but a day completely free tomorrow with Laura away until Monday. BG3 off stream progress perhaps, and XCOM2 on stream later for the 1st time ever.

We do normally do stuff together on Valentines day but Laura is actually at a football match this weekend that was offered as an alternative to another match that was moved. No big deal, we will still have a Valentines and have gifts for each other, we'll just have it on a different day next week.

Time for a proper classic whose title I feel fits the current world state. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq0v...

As myself and Laura are both writers (myself fantasy and her a poet) and being a couple a co-op game to play together is something we look for, Split Fiction remains top of my interest list after tonights State of Play.

Uncovered a pair of my favourite Minecraft builds. The Maze didn't take that long to build and Laura got lost in it for nearly an hour on stream some time ago. Huge maze that is copied from Leeds Castle Maze, and an island fortress town based on Mont St Michel, both built in Bedrock survival.

Other half has had some occular floaters today, not sure of the cause but we're making sure she doesn't make it worse by looking at screens tonight so stream cancelled tonight. Also Friday stream cancelled due to family visit. Next stream will now be Sunday.

Discovered my very old copy of Sid Meier's Pirates, complete with very chunky manual, quality game. Just repurchased it on steam too for under £2 as my cheap gaming laptop doesn't have a disc drive. Will keep the disc as a relic.

The best way to finish someone off in a fight. www.twitch.tv/thewonkygame...

I have done it! The impossible achieved in Baldur's Gate 3, failure on an epic scale, the worst achieved! So extraordinary I had to squeak it into a video despite my lack of video uploading knowledge. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UydB...

Just had to shell out £1072.12 for a bill on my late mothers house from 2023-2024. I thought it was all dealt with but no that was the standing charge seperate from her debt. Fecking hellfire this year.

Laura is live playing Assassin's Creed: Origins while unfortunately feeling rather crap, but she is going to try and have some Pyramid Parkour to feel better. www.twitch.tv/thewonkygame...

Laura was spitting fury at the PSN all yesterday, though we did completely reorganise things from back room to basement. Tomorrow I need to deal with the last of my late mothers debts that has been discovered out of nowhere.

Can confirm that Shadows of Doubt on PS5 is a broken mess that is barely functional.

Just tried to start Shadows of Doubt, a PS5 version of the game, gets to type city name, game freezes, have to reload, got to name character, game freezes again. Can only start the game if I don't change anything at all.

I have been convinced by Laura and discord chat to keep streaming, but change the game for now. I gave a discord vote for what to play instead and Shadows of Doubt got the nod. Will be live shortly and apprehensively.

Today's bad news, hit with a bill for my late mother's house electricity I had thought I paid, but apparently I had only paid her debt that she left before she died, not the amount used during the house sale process. I am hating being alive right now.

I am not intelligent enough to play Baldur's Gate 3. Total wipe x2, missed choices meaning being locked out of quests, unable to level enough, and the regulars stayed away from the stream as well. I am considering retiring from streaming, and have Laura take over the channel full time.

I am live with more fumbling through the early stages of Baldur's Gate 3, with my half Elf Bard Elfish Presley. Laura will be on headset once she is back from a craft event in an hour or so. www.twitch.tv/thewonkygame...

Laura has physio today on a problem with her hip, then shortly after she has a craft event so won't be joining stream until after 9. I will be streaming BG3 alone until she joins.
