Sucks how this decade "ceasefire" stopped actually meaning anything. Kinda like "Declaring War" before it. Nobody goes through the actual trouble of saying we are at war with you. They just conduct operations in combat zones.

Ireland didn't qualify for the World Cup, so instead I'll have to fall back on the ever classic just wanting England to lose.

"Male to Fujoshi" is one of those jokes where it's like, yeah man, kinda. Knew I liked men, but getting with one as a man made me wish I was a woman, then feel bad because that's surely internalised biphobia that has me thinking I should be a woman to be with him Listen to yourself lassie. Christ

Hmm, see I *could* refuse the reward and give it to the kid orphaned by the monster he saw kill his dad. But I would quite like to bet that money horse racing and use my winnings to buy collectable trading cards. So, ya know how it is.

Very funny responses to get to Bluesky were people telling me a UMD of Ghost in the Shell in 4:3 with one audio track and no subtitles is worse than their BluRay. Thank you. I actually got it thinking UMD was the ultimate format and wave of the future. It was only you who corrected this for me.

Finally made my way to a barber in The Witcher 3 and I really like the shorter emo cut you can get for Geralt.

Starting to think that when 90% of people you know who are into 40k are lesbians and the other 10% are bisexual, that gives you a somewhat skewed image of what is and isn't popular Eldar Bayonetta with a Drukhari rival for the toxic yuri! Market research tells me that's what the fans are waiting on

Not sure what would be more disrespectful if I died, burying me under my deadname or commissioning artwork of my playing quidditch in heaven.

Very funny experience with a video game was finishing The Veilguard, totally hating it, finally looking up other people's in-depth opinions and only then finding out there's actually a secret post-credits ending that makes it even worse.

A fundamental problem with international read on The North is seeing it as "British" vs. "Irish" and not seeing "Ulster Unionists" as their own group, who aren't always aligned with Westminster. They're Colony, not Metropole. Comparison on how it relates to UK should more Rhodesia than Lancashire.

Doctor Who's final episode could have ended with just "Woah, I'm regenerating, waaaah!" and been put on ice for however long to cleanly pick up. But putting Billie Piper there, which I guess RTD thought would secure renewal has to make anyone look at that twisted mess like "Ugggh."

Gwent from an in-universe perspective is crazy. Imagine the most popular collectable card game in the world and all the cards are you and every friend, associate and enemy you've had. Is that me? Is that *Cahir*? What the fuck?

You'd think loving Bloodborne and Hunt: Showdown would make me the centre of the Venn Diagram that Duskbloods is trying to appeal to. But alas

Stating the obvious, but really don't like how common racist arson attacks have become on this island in the last decade. Like the one thing that can bring Republicans and Unionists together is white supremacy and jazzing up their respective pogroms.

Throwing guns at people in 007 First Light feels great. There's so much to combat and the animations that feel like "movie shit" Shoot armoured guy with an smg in the hands to disarm him, throw it his head to stun, charge to push him off a balcony, kick his shotgun into your hands when you run back

Hey, wanna come back to mine? I got Ghost in the Shell on UMD for the PSP.

Imported my save so the Blue Stripes tattoo lives on.

A random bandit called Geralt a "Witch Fucker" and I mean, yeah, got 'em there.

It's nice that people generally seem to think that having legally enforced age ratings on Books is terrible, reinforces religious social conservatism, etc. But I'd like if they also felt the same way about film and games. "The government says a 14 year old can't see Alien." Fucking absurd law.

Remembering a GameFAQ I read that called Viconia "the fittest bird in Baldur's Gate 2" and I mean, they're right. But did get the expression "fittest bird in Baldur's Gate" stuck in my head to resurface every now and again.

I've seen 3 different cuts of Johnny Mnemonic but only 2 of Blade Runner because I know what the real Cyberpunk classic is.

You know hypothetical Shadowrun Riley gets to be an Elf, Cyborg and lives in a united Ireland. Lucky bitch.

Asked a trans eldar in my community if she's read any Mechploitation Just got really offended and shouted "I'm not your Xenos pet Monkeigh!"

It's really weird how after a film about fighting the evil space Nazis, Star Wars ends on a big Triumph of the Will reference for our heroes.

"Gonna watch some Buffy before work, so work isn't all that occupies my mind in the morning." *arriving at work* I hate Xander. I hate Xander. I hate Xander. I hate Xander. See, works great!

My favourite weapon in Elden Ring is Blood Milady. Which is frankly something I could do with hearing more often.

If there is a BG2 remake (pessimistic, don't see how it would be better than just making a new game) you'd assume it would be 5th Ed. But I wonder how that fits when being 2nd Ed matters to the narrative. Mazzy Fentan wanting to be a Paladin only works when Halfling Paladins aren't a common thing.

Making a God of War where you play as Dead Wife is a perfectly fine idea. As is desire to expand on someone who can be summed up as "Dead Wife, no a new one" But it is your own fault, making a game about two guys coping with the loss of this lady and our impression of her is "dead" and also "wife"

When I use bluff in the 007 game I keep getting the thought "I'm not really a barber! I'm fucking James Bond!"

Noah Gervais trans? Yeah, yeah, good for them. Hey, they/them, prefer those pronouns too, same hat! No big deal. Stopped smoking weed? What? Really!? Man, never would have expected that.

Other people: Man, reading Dungeon Meshi is really making me want to eat these various foods. Me: Man, reading Dungeon Meshi is really making me want to play Wizardry.

Very funny headstone for a Marvel character most people disliked. May as well be "Paul Rabin. Stay Dead."

Yeah, I got the cursed video game that traps you inside it as your character. No, I haven't started it yet Playing The Witcher 2 atm, then gonna go through 3 and a minute here is a month there, so I don't want to start something so long in the middle of that Sure it's great though. Maybe in July?

Love a Meowth. Dapper little gentleman. But owning a Meowth would be worrying because imagine a cat the size of a toddler that could just walk up, open or use whatever.

The Guardian spends the next decade opposing transphobia after championing it like that stupid version of True Neutral you sometimes get with D&D. Evil is too powerful now, gotta help Good to balance the scales again.

I have never in my entire life intentionally entered "big picture mode" on Steam. It has only ever been misclicking the minimize.

Get accused of murdering a king. Set off with Vernon Roche to find the true assassin. Help Roche murder an entirely different king. Let the original assassin go after catching up with him. Ahh, truly the people of The Northern Kingdoms were lucky to have Master Detective Geralt of Rivia on the case

New Witcher 3 expansion in 2027 throwing a whole new wrench into waiting for all the expansions to be out before playing. Be new Rogue Trader DLC until 2035 now Anyway, neat! I like idea of having new expansions for older titles. Nice way to reuse old stuff, lower production cost, I'm there for it

The way the news always has people on site for reports about extreme weather is really something. Oh, we hear it's the hottest day in May on record. *cuts to person sweltering in the sun* "Yes."

Vernon Roche spent 20 seconds talking to Iorveth after defeating him talking about how he hadn't time to kill him. Which is just a bad scene. There's plenty of ways to establish both characters are alive and free without this. But now I'm imagining they got some Kate Beaton Nemesis style dynamic.

I'm someone who thinks balance does matter and it is annoying having my position framed as the opposite of wanting fun. So nice to have a video picking that objection apart. Crafting a build is fun! I don't want everything to be equal in all cases. But are no-brainer options really "fun" to you?

Sure, it doesn't really matter towards their character. But it's weird how V's age was changed from 27 in 1.0 to 23 in 2.0. I'd just assumed first playing the game it was a very intentional choice about the 27 Club and theme of quiet life vs. blaze of glory. But no, just a date they had I guess.

I understand they're stories in major world religions. But wild when you see people reference building the Tower of Babel or eating the fruit in the Garden of Eden like they're bad. What? You hate knowledge, human co-operation and think humanity should "know its place." That's embarrassing. Jesus

It's weird how common a view of The Killing Joke is The Joker is right about his whole "Ahh, people are just one bad day..." when in the actual story itself he's wrong. It doesn't work, Jim Gordon doesn't end up like him. You can disagree with that conclusion. But like, that's still the conclusion.

Fighting the Kayran in The Witcher 2 which I know some people bounced off and quit the game over. But uh... it's good actually. Fun fight, using Quen to protect from attacks and then watching the tentacles to know where you use Yrden to stun it. Had fun. Signs generally are better than in 1.

I get there's a nice sentiment behind "oh no, don't despair over trans rulings, can't comply in advance" etc. But like, I think it's pretty reasonable for me to be very hesitant to move to the UK now when taking a piss at work is a matter of passing stealth or else. Nevermind healthcare concerns.

Keith Szarabajka is in Angel, goes to hell, gets out, it's a whole thing When asked how he survived, he says it started with hate, but what really kept him alive is love So... survived because the fire inside him burned brighter than the fire around him. The fire that kept him alive was love, eh?

Was writing up a tweet of how my husband doesn't like how I keep saying "I love being alive and also your wife" every morning because it's making him nervous. But I had to can it, I'd never marry someone who dislikes me saying "I love being alive and also your wife" The joke just isn't believable

Got to see Casino Royale in the cinema this evening. And let me tell ya, Mads Mikkelsen hitting Daniel Craig in the balls on the big screen is everything I could have hoped for. Wonderful time.

RTÉ and Government still using the word "detained" rather than "kidnapped" over the people taken from international waters to be tortured by the IDF. Which isn't a huge shock like. But don't worry, have said we need to do more than words while still not implementing occupied territories bill.
