Interesting experience seeing a band then during one of the songs, lead singer leaves the stage during a solo, you look to your left and he's dancing next to you. Electric Six were a tonne of fun!

Going to see an American band today (Electric Six) so assuming they're there to give thanks to me, Riley. Thank you Riley.

Aww crap, took a portal to Ald'ruhn.

I got Dragon Age: The Veilguard for my birthday last year and hated it. It was however, very interesting in picking apart all the ways I hated it and what didn't work for me. This year I got Bloodlines 2. Haven't started it yet. While I am hoping it's actually good, please at least be interesting.

The manual for Metal Gear Solid 1 on the PS1 was a treat for my young eyes. Solid Snake himself was my favourite.

The Guest 2. Based on the soundtrack to The Guest 2 released in 2022. Made stronger that I'm sure Adam Wingard, Simon Barrett and Dan Stevens as the titular Guest would all return for it.

If Miquella has 1000 followers I'm 1 of them. If Miquella has 1 follower, it's Malenia surely. But if Miquella has 2 followers, well I mean, probably her and Leda. If Miquella has like 20 followers could be I'm in there again though.

Trailer for Neil Breen's Dire Duplicity came out and he's playing a jet flying assassin. What a gift, must be my birthday or something.

Damn, Bachman Off 2025 is harder than I thought it would be because I really liked The Running Man. I'd heard negative responses going in but nah, nah, it's a really good time. Really like the action sequences Still think The Long Walk wins though. It was so gruelling (positive)

Staring at a shop menu in Planescape: Torment trying to remember if "THAC0 + 1" would be good or bad. Because lower THAC0 is better, but the item description says it improves my accuracy. Hmm, much to think about here.

I loved Colony Ship and Thief: The Black Parade. They didn't come out this year, they came out in 2023. But I only played them for the first time this year, and I think it's worth mentioning. Maybe other publications or awards shows should too.

Problem with Baldur's Gate 3 being really successful and Fallout TV show being popular is it's become possible to trick yourself into thinking there could be a new isometric Fallout. Oh it would make sense. Never a better time. And other such foolish wishes.

If you use computer enough you will retain it in your astral form like clothes or a favoured weapon.

Getting asked to step out with the other women so lads can do "lad chat" (bad talking some women they know, from what I overheard and what that usually is) was a very interesting first time experience at training gotta say.

Making a Thief this Torment playthrough and realised I could run around the mortuary and snap 5 people's necks in a row if I wanted.

I did it! Tried getting him killed at Saratoga last time (made things worse, trust me) but finally, I used my time machine to convince Benedict Arnold to defect from the Revolutionary Army. Now Lin-Manuel Miranda will never write a rap musical about him. Be grateful none of you know who that guy is

Until you see the manuscript you think Jack Torrance was just going crazy, but bro was writing House of Leaves.

Hearing someone talking about Frakenstein and going off on how they think Victor is "Playing god by stealing reproduction from its natural role with women out of jealousy." 😬😬😬 Girl, listen to how you sound. Cause it's implying stuff about your world view.

Hearing a kid sing a song to the tune of All Star about their Fortnight victory over Darth Vader. Delightful.

Working hard promoting our Indie Game, anonymously commissioning gay shipping art between our MC and the MCs of other popular indie games.

You know I haven't once sworn a vendetta against someone and embarked on a quest for revenge. You read so many stories "I killed those who wronged me, it was totally sick." "Blood for Blood, don't do it." but I haven't even taken the first step. Am I living my life wrong?

Been having problems with my gut as of late and am constantly getting the thought "My Guts are... going Bezerk!" And I really need to get well already because it's driving me mad.

Looking increasingly like Elon Musk hasn't seen a single film that came out this decade. Which would be an almost impressive level of cultural ignorance.

I'm a leftist because I spend all day sitting next to Montagnards glaring violently at Girondins.

The Praetorian Guard started as bodyguards of the Roman Emperor, but as they grew in power, formed an internal culture interested in their own continued existence and enrichment While officially subject to the Emperor, all understood they must be placated lest they overthrow him

The old fashion has been surpassed. Kim and Harry are now the coolest cops in the entire world.

Fashion Elysium

Disco Elysium asks the big questions like "What if a lady was Dutch?" or "What if a guy was Belgian?"

I love the asides of Kim Kitsuragi clearly realising that Harry DuBois is bisexual and crushing hard on the attractive smoking man in a nearby apartment complex and just thinking "Man, we can *not* afford to get into this right now."

"Socializing her is very important" I say before blowing off whatever task I was meant to be doing to fawn over the kitten I found again.

Sometimes Chinese-Irish cuisine places pop up internationally and people scoff and it's like no, you genuinely shouldn't knock a spice bag until you try one.

Heard someone say "clank" as an insult the other day. Well well well, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided not looking so stupid now, is it?

The Banshees of Inisherin. What wonderfully bitter true to life feeling emotions.

This playthrough Evrart Claire in Disco Elysium is reminding me of Anderson Dawes from The Expanse Is he a shady crime boss the cop protagonist has to deal with? Yes Is he a charismatic revolutionary who wants to forward the interests of the working class? Also yes I like 'em

Anytime Square Enix business stuff is in the news I just remember how they sold Tomb Raider and Deus Ex for NFTs.

So far I've found that 1) Everything is so interesting to her, no end of curiosity, wanting to smell, taste, see everything. 2) Boy, she didn't leave that desire to climb at the tree.

Was literally rescuing a cat from a tree at work this morning. Which of course became my entire day. Cute lil thing, need to find out if they've an owner.

Sony give games the most roll off your brain titles. "Horizon: Zero Dawn" "Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet" You could put all of those words in any order and it'd mean the same to me.

Pulling out a "Is it Speculative Fiction or YA?" illustrated diagram in response to book recs.

CRPGs spent a lot of time abstracting non-combat rolls, tabletop origins. Not even seeing percentages or being told rolls happen So I like how much success Disco Elysium & BG3 had doing the opposite. Being transparent, people love seeing/hearing dice roll and knowing modifiers

Day 1 as Pysche/Physique Superstar Hustler Cop. So far I have punched Cuno and roundhouse kicked Measurehead. Violence has a bright future for Detective Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau.

Haven't seen any outlet throw it at him yet, but really hoping journalists start asking Jim O'Callaghan why he said arson attack on immigrant housing was caused by people throwing fireworks. An Gardaí, the victims and the video footage don't show that. Where is he pulling this huge downplay from?

Making a Disco Elysium character who's all into psyche, physique and grinding for that reál. My man would have been a great podcaster selling fitness supplements.

90% of everyone in the world in my CK3 game are suddenly holding sticks. Men, women, children, even the dead. All the baseball energy on here has reverberated and traveled backwards through time. Not only will everyone be talking about the sport, but everywhen.

Muat be so annoying writing an article and then the website wants to start out with an AI summary at the top. Hey, we thought we'd increase engagement by encouraging people to not read anything you write.

Wonder how much British politicians are scared of talking about the country as a good hub for Video Game development, that they're proud of the industry and want it to grow because it would involve breaking the taboo of saying they think Grand Theft Auto existing is good.

Event Horizon is one of those films people keep trying to put caveats on. "Oh, it's interesting, but x, y or z core aspect is bad." Sorry those folks, but actually the entire thing is excellent.

The Creature in Frankenstein is too hasty thinking he needs his dad to create a wife for him and he'll be alone without it happening. Last 200 years have proven there's no shortage of people who came away from that story wanting to fuck Frankenstein the Younger.

Uh oh, Riley is thinking about how they'd look cute with a short boyish cut again.
