I think the main takeaway from 2025 is I started the year with 6 Evercade cartridges. As of yesterday I have 32. @evercade.co.uk In 2026 I'm going to try and review each and every one of them.

I can't complain about 2025. My 11 year old niece beat a rare and nasty form of cancer. The good will always outweigh the bad.

DUNE 3TERNAL

This is my favourite.

My game of choice for the plane home. I'll play it until my Switch battery runs out.

I went back for the Mario sneaks. 😬

I played Shenmue for the first time in the late 2000s. Even then I knew this was a phenomenal game. It's loaded with atmosphere and still manages to hook me in every time I play it.

Shenmue is officially 26 years old today... Not many games hit a nostalgic spot for me quite like Shenmue does. I remember how much it floored me when it came out on SEGA Dreamcast when I was just 16 years old. I knew video games would never be the same. "I wish time...would just stand still." ✨

The most normal. For normies only.

Last night in Bangkok. Here's a quick bit of Siam in the evening.

Oops 😬

Holiday Pastry The best thing I've eaten this entire trip. I think I ascended.

- Carried the Title through The Pandemic - Helped found one of the most beloved Stables in AEW - Attached to most major emotional moments in the Promotion - Raises the caliber of every opponent he wrestles -In the throes of a major heel run felt like a Babyface at World’s End Mox, WOTD.

I can't describe it but the SNES Street Fighter II holds an insane amount of nostalgia for me. Everything about it evokes memories of playing it so many years ago. Probably the best and most important port of an arcade game ever made. It sold more consoles than Mario did.

Probably the best pic I've ever taken on a phone.

Today is the day I eat my way through Bangkok's Chinatown. Incredible vibes here. I feel like I'm in a remaster of Shenmue II.

Can't disagree tbh.

Move me here immediately.

In a department store here in Bangkok and they have like 12 brands of smartphones available, none of them Apple, and about 5 I've never heard of that look absolutely awesome.

THE THING HAPPENED

Discworld QOTD, from Hogfather

This is the first Christmas I haven't gotten anything gaming related. But it's okay. This trip has confirmed our decision to move here when we can.

12am here in Bangkok. Happy Holidays y'all!

At a concert in a small-ish bar and "we" ordered the soju... it came with two glasses for "us". 😬

Oh yes! Bowser Skechers! Saw them, wanted them, bought them.

Merry Christmas! Ep. #236 - Season 20 Finale “Märchen Maze (Part 1)” pastebin.com/raw/tPgf5gkB marchen maze part 2 subs when (in early January, most likely, Krampus got in the way) 01:40 to 01:54 shows major spoilers for the entire Season 20.

Legendary thumbnail. Thank you LocationScouts. Your work is very much appreciated.

Good afternoon with an even better view.

Woah, I'm in Thailand!

Happy International Rush Day open.spotify.com/track/2DMDV9...

Flying to Thailand tomorrow to escape everybody. Just gone for a week. Fairly sure next time will be one way.

Evercade carts aren't just about loading the games. A big part of collecting classic games is enjoying the other stuff in the box too! Every Evercade cartridge comes with a full-colour manual with detailed instructions about how to play each game -- and some even come with bonus extras, too...

Batman Returns on SNES is perfect Christmas gaming.

I need to finish this game one day. Everything about it is very "me". Agreed about this scene.

Now that I have a modern PC I've been getting back to grips with using a PC that's just for myself more often. As much as I hate Win11 it's nice to have a machine I know can handle big tasks again.

Staring into the void and the void stares back.

That feeling when "the meeting" is cancelled.

This is very good advice. Spread your bets on which of your favs sucks. Because one of them definitely does.

The man FINALLY gets a graphic and it's to tell us he's not fired from AEW 😭

Mass Effect 2 has some very detailed food.

EMERGENCEY DAIL 9-1-1 I love RE2. These aren't even the only typos in the game.
