I'm mildly disappointed that Safia won't be a romanceable character in GreedFall: The Dying World.

Sorry if I've been quiet. Got a lot going on at the moment (as in, negative stuff that's making me feel fed up).

Oooh Bryony Corrigan (my favourite Rook VA) plays the femme-MC option in GreenFall: The Dying World.

I forgot I did this.

Chuds: "Veilguard looks shit, bro." Me: counterpoint How many games do you know that you can do this in?

Surely @mortym.bsky.social has 100%'d both Nioh 3 and Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined already? 😀 I'm joking. Looking forward to both of those reviews, though.

Someone needs to caption this.

DA:O, not longer after launch (my original has DLC as part of it) in 2009 - 28/29 DA2 probably just after launch but again, my copy has all DLC except Legacy in 2011, so 30/31 DA:I came to this quite late, unsure when, sometime in the early 2020s, iirc - aged 40ish DA:TV in 2024 - aged 44

Ah shit, not Catherine O'Hara. This sucks. Requiescat in pace, Queen.

For any BioWare fans who are curious, @alixwiltonregan.bsky.social stars as Aletta in BBC Radio 4's adaption of Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Also, this classic. Not quite fourth-wall breaking but still iconic. Plus I swear Bellara constantly looks at the "camera" in a fourth-wall breaking way.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Fuck ICE.

I hope Fable makes Americans actually say the word Twat correctly.

Help us make hope normal again. Join the Green Party now.

I see people are being completely normal about Max and Chloe in the recently announced Life Is Strange: Reunion.

Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom

I really struggle to play as a bad or evil character in video games. I don't know how folks (and I mean, decent, nice people) can play Renegade Shepard or a bad-choices Hero of Ferelden, or a Dark Urge. I struggle to even kill natives in Expeditions: Conquistador.

Hey @mortym.bsky.social I hope you'll be covering the forthcoming Avowed update and the Necron DLC for Rogue Trader soon? 😀

I might actually play Avowed now. I usually play stout races and when the game launched with only human and elf options and no dwarves, orlans or aumaua, it was a massive disappointment.

I'm so fucking angry at murder of Renee Good. The right-wing fuckwits who are adamant that poor deceased lady was a domestic terrorist. I hate how America is descending into Fascism and the UK and other nations will likely follow in its bleak and evil shadow.

It turns out it does.

The GoT ending wasn't even that bad. People really just overdid it on the hate.

Does Zohran play Cities: Skylines?

They consider Antifa Ost as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation and not even Germany have done so. The US Justice Department are a joke.

"Wait, there's a new Dragon Age game? Who on earth bought the IP?"

Relistening to #TheArchers and I've narrowed down George's attacker to 5 or 6 (which isn't very helpful). However, I'm ruling out Jazzer. I think he witnessed the attack and it was him that called the ambulance. He's protecting whoever did it. My main suspects are Will and Ed.

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist. Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela. This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources. It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.

Go fuck yourself, Donald Trump and then stand on lots of rakes and then fuck yourself again.

I wrote a resignation speech that Stewart Lee thought was too long — STEWART LEE! TOO LONG! The cheek of it Read about it here thecosmicshamblesnetwork.substack.com/p/a-difficul...

I hope 2026 is the year more people realise that putting into power known sexual predators with a predilection for fascism is something to be, errrrr, questioned at the very least and that it should not be considered an extremist position on the scales of media balance to bring the subject up

It's so excellent to start 2026 with a swollen gland that's causing me jaw pain and a headache. Good stuff.

Sorry, I laughed. I'm going to horny jail.

There are people out there who thought #TheArchers after-drama was canon. It wasn't. It was just a fantasy/homage to something like An Inspector Calls by J.B. Priestley. None of it was real.

It's just gone 10:00pm and I'm falling asleep already and may not actually make it for midnight.

Weird #TheArchers conspiracy theory: Keira's been kidnapped (no idea by whom), forced to write a note and George just fell over after hearing Tortoise the cat in the bushes, dropped his bottle and it's all a ruse. The car heard driving past was the person who kidnapped Keira.

I don't think Keira attacked/hurt George because she's a silent character. It'd be poor writing to suddenly give a silent character some agency. However, they could kill her off too and I think that'd be bad, as well. #TheArchers

One of my favourite lines from Morrigan in Dragon Age: Origins. I wish people in our world would take this on board.

Lots of lovely pics of Riyadh’s Jimmy Carr with David “dropped by publisher” Walliams - ain’t showbiz wonderful

I always thought Wisps in Dragon Age: Origins were limited to the Fade but Felix de Grosbois at Sulcher's Pass (part of the The Stone Prisoner DLC) mentions a wisp scaring his mule off, iirc. Or something like that.

Hero of Ferelden wasn't sure she'd ever defeat the Archdemon, so wanted to try something once, so after getting with Leliana, she convinced her to join in with Isabela and Zevran. After that, she was monogamous.

So David Gaider tried to pitch Musical DLC for Dragon Age: Inquisition to Mike Laidlaw.

Besides Dragon Age: Origins, SW:TOR and Cyberpunk 2077, are there any other games that have different prologue starts?

So Black Desert's protagonist is Temu BroHawke. Urgh.

A question for @ghildirthalen.bsky.social : were the ziplines in DA:TV a remnant of the multiplayer? I don't hate them but feel they only really should have been used in Treviso.

We're fucked. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lYs...

I might enjoy JRPGs more if they weren't anime.

We're delighted to announce that The Roottrees are Dead is now available in Simplified Chinese! This was our most ambitious translation to date and we hope that it means even more people can enjoy the game. We're also 20% off for the Winter Sale! store.steampowered.com/app/2754380/...
