If I didn't need bird hellsite for work that shit would be deleted by now. Only just found out about the Manchester terror attack now because for the past 5 hours the only trends it was showing me were either AI dogshit, anti-trans nonsense or stuff to do with r*form. Fucking deplorable.

1-3 and I lost to 3 off meta decks unfathomably cursed but a ton of fun!

Another surprise night off, another local.

Pre-release went well.

Pre-release time! Already 1-0 up, shoutouts setup king Cinderace

Hades 2 is very, very, very good. I know that writing up my stuff for GOTY this year is going to be really difficult.

Listening in on this older couple at work complaining about a friend of theirs that's "getting a bit too woke" because their daughter is gay. These people that thing like this really do exist huh

lil eepy fella.

Fire Emblem Shadows (2025)

Code Vein 2 looks amazing, actually. So many fond memories of the first game still.

So glad that MHWilds is putting effort into a collab I have no interest in and bringing back a monster I hate instead of fixing the PC port MHST3 looks incredible and I'm very excited for it!

fucking hate it here.

Holy shit I went 3-0!!?!! I played super well, everything just worked... First time doing this well at a place I've never been to before! So happy :)

Got a night off, at another city's locals tonight that's a further drive away. Feels nice, the vibe is immaculate. Place also does food and drink!

AI 'art' gotta go man Can't even enjoy art in peace anymore without it coming from some fucking machine.

That one artist who draws nothing but Metera in casual clothes I hope you understand how much life you give me every time you post Fantasy characters in casual modern clothing is my favourite kind of art by a long shot

Don't understand Bluesky's discovery page. Since all I like is art, posts about video games and news, it's decided that all it should recommend to me is either yaoi (don't want) or long, verbose posts that take a few reads for me to understand they're about a niche fetish (DON'T WANT)

Another morning another ragequit

Realised I've played a shitton of Metroidvanias this year. Grabbing BLADECHIMERA and that Hololive one today too, so those + Silksong and I guess Metroid Prime 4 means I've got a lot to go through lol

Very unwell. Basically haven't slept and have been going between too hot and too cold every 10 minutes. Shit sucks bro. Got an important meeting today too.

Frankfurt TCG Masters finals has been absolute fucking cinema so far Really enjoying watching this

how ridiculous gotta be one of the best youtube channels out there rn. content is great with a big focus on their production and background staff, and now using a 24mil sub platform to highlight less documented issues around the world. massive respect.

nintendo PR needs a big lift right now after another devilish patent, but thankfully they have just the right thing to stop people from complaining and make them start emptying their wallets that's right baby it's the fuckin virtual boy oh yeah

end of day 2.

gw going well i love my friend ereshkigal

OK it's been a few days it's finally time to talk about the elephant in the room Guys, I think Silksong is too hard. Bosses doing 2 masks of damage basically all the time sucks. Getting health upgrades isn't meaningful. Really sucking the fun out of the game.

Work made me run a 700 attendee event tonight and it was a blast. Production and running shit like this for people to enjoy is absolutely what I want my career to be in.

One of my best coworkers quit on the spot this morning, so this + management shifting around definitely does not help my stress!

I think it went well. Still stressed!

Sitting in a Maccys in London when it suddenly strikes me out of nowhere that the reason I enjoyed Saeko so much is because it's 'what if the milgram tests used a REALLY hot girl as the authority figure' It's been months can this game leave me head now

Got a really important meeting tomorrow that I'm really quite stressed about, but I know should go well. Wish me luck!

Saudi Arabia now owns Evo! Please support your grassroots scenes! Travel to local events, support community majors, lend people advice for travel and accommodation, and do everything in your power to give the middle finger to bodies that'll push out any semblance of inclusivity from the FGC.

Some old fucker came into my work today and said we should be ashamed we don't have a union jack outside and I genuinely just know I was giving him this look while he talked to me

Work rotor'd me in on my day off by mistake... Only here for a few hours but aaaaaa annoying I have things to sort today

also oops i forgot i was reading the new gbf event (it's really good btw)

woke up, put my shirt on, took me 5 minutes to learn there was a massive fuckoff house spider on it how we doing this morning gang

cutting social media doomscrolling out of my life has been incredibly easy since my timelines, despite my best efforts, are full of media I really dislike partly bird hellsite's fault. partly the popularity of uma / PSG / genshin.

got a new capture card, so starting from tonight I'm gonna stream some MHGU sometimes will the community be insufferable like old times? hopefully not. the GU server I'm in seems really chill

joined an MHGU Discord server where they run daily speedrun challenges and I have immediately got the bug again MHGU eternal, that game absolutely fucking slaps

0-0-3 at the league challenge today 🤘🤘🤘 They call me the best to ever do it (I think I played really well today but bad list + better players)

I don't give a shit if the matches were 'good' I'm not watching the fucking EWC.

you know the more i think about it the more i realise there's a good chance that clair obscur might not be the best game i play this year. silksong. UNBEATABLE. that one game i played with the massive gal. all goty contenders maybe (except maybe that last one).

I always forget how bad the UX is on LinkedIn. I only open it every couple of weeks to post 'hey look what cool shit I helped organise' but every time I'm like hey why is the post button not at the top of the page, why is my profile in a sub-menu etc

this really silks my song, guys

New GBF MSQ was very very good, I'm enjoying the final arc a lot so far. There's a lot of lore dumping and moments that are there purely for people to pog at and move on but I do feel like it's earned it. Also the new music tracks are fucking awesome.

A bizarre thing you can be told as an enjoyer of video games is 'the gacha game where the camera angle is on a woman's ass for 99% of playtime has a great story with meaningful things to say about impermanence, sentience and general existentialism', and becomes weirder when it turns out to be true.

silksong being real is cool and all but a full release of unbeatable being real, alongside one of the punchiest trailers i've ever seen? that's pretty poggers, brofam.

hyperfocusing on the DoW4 announcement to get away from my doomer mentality towards MHWilds me and the bestie omega weapon chilling in the fuckass map of slopes and corridors and having truly negative fun

Oops! It's too hot and humid to sleep again! I have a lot of work to do tomorrow and being knackered for it is gonna suck hard. Forgive me if I'm tired this weekend if you see me.
