The 10 hour campaign is a selling point for me in the new Resident Evil.

Wait, what, why is there a shit Panzer Dragoon section in Doom: The Dark Ages?

BREAKING NEWS: Edinburgh councillors have thrown out plans for a ‘green’ data centre at South Gyle. There was cross-party agreement in refusing the plan, with concerns about ‘how it affects the climate emergency’ and ‘how emissions could be minimised’. edinburghminute.com

I really don’t get the CRT revival but it’s kinda cool seeing people’s setups

Some absolutely madlad has ported Super Monkey Ball to a WEBSITE. monkeyball-online.pages.dev

Absolutely nobody needed that Megadeth cover of Ride the Lightning

100% tariff on the MM/DD/YY format.

Age of Innovation last night. Second playthrough and I really began to appreciate the extra mechanics compared to Terra Mystica. Better still, a rare win for me! #BoardGames

Watching Spurs this evening was a terrible mistake

Just me, a 42 year old man, making responsible financial decisions #LEGO

If we're going to ban social media and mobile phones for kids, then we need to ban Facebook and the Daily Mail for boomers. For the exact same fucking reasons.

Suddenly filled with deep regret about all the things 2025 me said we could do in January

The first board game play of 2026 was Nemesis, a real favourite with our group.

Happy Tolkien's birthday to all who celebrate! #JRRTolkien #Birthday #books #livres

My Games of the Year 2025: 5. Snake Eater Delta* 4. Hades 2 3. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 2. The Seance of Blake Manor 1. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 * Yes I know it’s a remake but it still made more of an impression than the handful of other 2025 games I played.

Sitting in Dublin airport when they announce the departure of flight FR666 to Birmingham 🤘

Lads, they’ve got the Enterprise D set in stock in the LEGO Store in Edinburgh and I’m sorely, sorely tempted

My 4 year old has decided that she wants to wear a Halloween jumper for Christmas and we’re just going to roll with those vibes

I didn’t really get on with Blue Prince. Something about the way my brain is wired just made the puzzles seem incredibly obtuse. But The Seance of Blake Manor scratches my neurons in *just* the right way. I love it.

All I want for Christmas is Holyrood Park permanently closed to motorised traffic

Tell you what, as a mostly metal guitarist, learning Django Reinhardt is absolutely humbling

This is one of the best pieces of video games writing I’ve read in years

They are literally giving that wizard school game for free on Epic. I still won’t play it because JKR an absolute ghoul.

My Inis: Legendary Edition Kickstarter arrived and it is GORGEOUS. The original game art is obvious stellar since Jim Fitzpatrick was involved but the new art for this edition is absolutely stunning #boardgames

I finally got the Liquid Glass iOS update and wow, it’s awful.

Online retailers: if you use Evri please just give the option to pay more to use a different courier.

@profanity.accountant tell me how I’m fucking doing

I could quite happily never hear the phrase ‘Cyber Monday’ again

Opportunistic shot out the bus window on the way home while crossing North Bridge in Edinburgh just after sunset. Pretty please with the colours in this!

Generally speaking, getting a driving licence makes you a better cyclist, and being a regular cyclist makes you a better driver.

Playthrough 2 of Expedition 33 and, if anything, it’s even better this time around. Not only do I understand the systems better, so the early game is a bit less bruising, but the foreshadowing in the writing is masterful. Playing it knowing what I know now opens up a whole new side to the narrative

I did NOT expect Stinkfist at the end of Alien Earth Episode 2

Psyching myself up to restring a guitar with a Floyd Rose

I don’t know if I’m getting too old or games are getting worse or both but this Sony State of Play is dire

I absolutely loved Hades 2, I thought it was better than the original in every way. But after finishing the main story (took me about 33 hours) I don’t feel much motivation to do the endgame content

I was not expecting Tyres from Spaced to show up in the first episode of Alien: Earth

The Old King’s Crown from Eerie Idol Games @theoldkingscrown.bsky.social is here! It’s great being able to support a Scottish Board game company. Can’t wait to get this one on the table! #boardgames

My 4yo daughter has been up before 5.30am every morning this week because of the clock change at the weekend. We both feel absolutely exhausted. Why do we continue to put the clocks back / forwards?

I’m (I think) about 2/3rds of the way through Keeper and I don’t really know how I feel about it. It’s gorgeous and has a very distinctive art style and the non-verbal storytelling is very impressive… but it’s just not a huge amount of fun to actually play, mechanically

We will fight them on the quiches

We played our first game of SETI last night. Really enjoyable, kinda feels like peak Eurogame with elements of Brass, Terraforming Mars and Terra Mystica. Extremely well designed and lots of variety. Visually stunning. Looking forward to repeat plays #boardgames

Probably my greatest professional achievement is that two throwaway derisory phrases of mine have been fully embraced by colleagues and have taken on a life of their own. “Big number must go up” “Vibes-driven decision making”

Who needs three (full) words? “Can’t we just…?”

*chef’s kiss*

It do be like that

Me: I should get some decent winter cycling gloves so my hands don’t freeze when the weather turns Cycling accessory manufacturers: That will be £117 please
