Started playing We ❤️ Katamari and it's a little funny how the premise of that game is "Katamari Damacy the video game was a global sensation" when it never got a PAL release. Hell, I remember wanting to play it back in PS3 era but wasn't on the store. Only got ported in the 2020s.

Using my compelling voice power to say "You can't see me" then I walk around them going 'do do do do' to the John Cena theme.

It's almost surprising Bus Éireann hasn't replaced their logo with like an orange rhombus. But suppose government haven't privatised everything yet.

"Conan the Barbarian is just a dumb brute" is a lot like "Lovecraft doesn't describe the creatures" as a criticism It's fine to not like either work But both are so obviously not true if you actually read the works and based on "well, someone said" that I don't know how to respond beyond "nuh uh"

The problem with Doom Eternal is not that they wanted to add a lot of lore or make it a sequel to Doom 1 & 2 with you literally being the character. Wolfenstein did both those things, but has character and theme that it's weaved around. Doom Eternal just boy, here's a codex about our fantasy city.

No Squirrel emoji but there is a "Chipmunk" emoji is clearly a sign of American cultural imperialism. 🐿 should be a red squirrel. But no, now how do I celebrate my cat? A cat emoji? Don't be ridiculous.

To be honest, I would much rather fetch Pokémon creatures than a crummy pail of water.

I respect whoever decided that Final Destination (2000) should have a character driving by listening to Into The Void by Nine Inch Nails right as Trent Reznor says "pictures in my head of the final destination." "Hey, that's the name of our movie!" Prominent NIN and John Denver songs? Rileybait.

A funny disconnect is how Doom 2016 (and Doom 1993) is happy to just go these guys are demons from hell. Actual demons, real hell. But Doom Eternal is like well these are Maykrs (it's like makers, get it) from... Urdak instead of just saying angels from heaven, which is what they are anyway.

Look, I know some people aren't too eager to follow Kindly Miquella just because they want to steal everyone's hearts forever. But don't worry, you'll feel differently about that once they steal everyone's hearts forever.

Doom 2016 makes me think I'd have more respect for ceos if they were 3 meter tall full body conversion cyborgs. But that's probably just my inherent reverence for 3 meter tall full body conversion cyborgs.

If I ever tell you I'm gonna start Icewind Dale 2 because I've not really played it I need you to promise me, promise me, that you'll remind me I haven't played Temple of Elemental Evil and to play that first. This might not seem important now, but I assure you it will be.

Doom 2016 rocks and I'm glad that the earlier version of Doom 4 which got nicknamed "Call of Doom" got shelved because like, yeah circa-2011 Doom military shooter is something the world is alright without. Contrasting 3, it's such a visual treat compared to just the same tech corridor over and over

Never let me into your Forgotten Realms campaign, I will play a Paladin in the Order of St. Kaelyn. Or do! Just be prepared for me to reference Mask of the Betrayer a lot.

Me if Ken Levine's Judas sucks: If you want a good game with this premise, play Colony Ship. Me if Ken Levine's Judas is good: If you want another game like that, you should check out Colony Ship. Me if Ken Levine's Judas is cancelled: Shame. But if you want to play a game about a colony ship...

Other people discovering Lilura1 (her companions guide for Dungeon Rats was very helpful couple months ago) and liking her is great for me. Because I aim to stay alive and continue to perpetuate grognardy crpg opinions on everyone who ever follows, talks to or shares a forum with me even as I age.

Oh my god how did I never consider Gambit could throw Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh cards before.

Thinking about a guy in secondary school who called Fallout 3 "the first one" in a conversation about the series. Fucking absurd statement. There's a 3 in the title.

One of the earliest horror films I remember loving was Final Destination. Obviously got creative kills, suspense, etc. But core premise, slasher where the killer is the abstract concept of death, through no fault of your own is coming, that you can't avoid or protect yourself from, did speak to me.

Never considered how the document I keep track of games I played and what I think of them would look when you called Doom (2016) "Doom" did you Bethesda? Had to make it slightly worse but still really obvious what game I am talking about. As if people couldn't cope with a game being called Doom 4.

Imagine if it was Trump kidnapping the fucking Pope that finally got the Irish government to stop letting the US military use Shannon. Because they did say they wanted to. And have done it to a world leader before. So I mean...

How Trump immediately contradicts his own statements is really something. I remember St. Patrick's Day his meeting with An Taoiseach was when the Iran war started and he was bragging how actually he should be thanked for making us safer with: "I think it would have hit Europe... Maybe not Ireland"

Sub vs. Dub "debates" As if a reasonable person could ever watch Spongebob Squarepants in anything other than the original Irish.

No, no, this is good, I need to know it's woke or I can't get off.

Sseen fan art that made me go "It’s good, be she would *not* be cicumcised." Which is just an extremely funny thought to have.

People think the big sin KOTOR inflicted on RPGs was popularising Lightside/Darkside morality systems that were all the rage for a decade. No. It was getting rid of painted character portraits. "Oh CG models are good enough." Fools! You lost not only beauty, but imagination to fill out graphics.

My cat is cleaning me, it's very cute.

Anya in Buffy having her demon friend ask "Who told you that it isn't easy to love you?" when she's being self deprecating. Which yeah, your partner shouldn't have you feel that way. Anyway, I still hate Xander. Her demon friend should rip him limb from limb.

It's hard to see how the rest of the world can get by if they don't abolish the office of president entirely. Not that I think American Congress is good or that they will. But any president can do this to any country whenever.

Imagining a pro-wrestler who's deal is just they're Plato.

This moon mission has been great for me, a person who likes using pictures of space as desktop wallpapers.

Know I'm a genre sicko cause I see: "Revised Action Economy!" "Balanced Free Actions!" "Faster Lethal Combat!" and get real excited. My putting off series replay until literally this came out of beta ends. Priest of Berath time... in like early summer, when I finish up other stuff I'm at first.

Gotta cook up a Modron Bard called Modron Nixon.

I played SIGIL which is John Romero's expansion from 2019 and now I think it's the best of Classic Doom. It's focused on narrow spaces, very limited ammo and trickle of weapons, over "here's a huge arena and lots of guns" of DOOM 2. Which is neat change of pace. Hard but fun. Now to play SIGIL II.

Doom 2 has a lot of platforming for a game without a jump button. Clearly FromSoft learnt a lot from Id.

Remember as a teen coming up with the idea that today is "Unholy Saturday" the one day where god can't intervene or see what you do. And the point is to be good anyway. Which I like, Christianity should roll with that. Better test of their morality than "It’s just bad because god might see."

End of work yesterday was standing with storage container door ready to close it when my co-worker ran back in to grab something. Never in my entire life have I had a better opportunity to say "Game Over" and slam a heavy metal door shut, leaving someone trapped in the dark. Fear it's passed me by.

Got Doom: The Dark Ages as a Christmas gift, I should play it. But really I should replay Doom 1993 first. And what's Doom without Doom II Hell on Earth? Oh, and I could play John Romero's SIGIL. Actually, I never played Doom 3 or the Eternal DLC. And would want to play 2016 and base Eternal too.

Space, it's pretty neat right?

It's wild how future history describing the collapse of American Hegemony will have to grapple with the fact that their leadership really did just think soft power was "pussy shit" Like they were so stupid they genuinely bought into their own rhetoric about the USA's place in the world and hated it

Being different people in different dreams, sure alternating genders pretty frequently, but often just "not my body" is one of those interesting things. It's neat, I like it about my dreams. And I don't really care how "normal" it is. But does make me think of how different dreaming is for folks.

If you're not actually doing your "Haha, wouldn't this be a funny joke" idea that you post on April Fool's you're a coward.

Actually I called you all worthless miserable ants to bring attention to the struggles your community faces with poverty and mental illness. And the praise your ability to follow pheromone trails. You're the one jumping to conclusions.

Playing some DOOM (1993) and a weird myth that has sprung up about the game is that it wasn't designed to be played with a mouse. And yes it was, that's why it was an option. You could pay it with just the keyboard and I have. But this time I'm using mouse and keyboard and yeah it's far smoother.

Cyberpunk 2 better put Danger Gal in it. At least their armour. Catgirl Pinkertons who use cute girlboss branding to distance themselves from association with the Arasaka dynasty their boss is a part of. She's in 2077, leading the faction that isn't Yorinobu's or Hanako's.

As an Irish person I feel I should be using this insult more often.

Rewatched The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and remembering a couple years back some TikToker calling Austin Butler a pretentious liar for saying it was his favourite film as a kid. And just, man, the art kids are exposed to really suffers if it's just the "for kids" section of a streaming service.

Showing Squirrel the plush red squirrel I got. Look! It's you! See!? Look!

The Left Hand of Darkness from the Gethenians perspective is fun, because imagine meeting an alien envoy who's always erect. And you're like woah, you alright buddy? Need a doctor? And he's like no, I'm always like this. No it's not a problem, also it's not a sex thing. Okay, but I mean... okay.

When you get to Sovngarde but it's Dunmeri
