Do you like Monster Hunter? Have you played the Monster Hunter Stories 3 demo? I think I'm completely smitten by this art style. The vibrancy, how well the monsters translate. Can you IMAGINE a mainline hunter game that looked this incredible? Surely it'd be perfect for handheld.

I'm going to be a bit brave and say it. I might be too stupid to follow Final Fantasy Tactics' story. There are just so many names and Dukes and regions. I just wanna build my little guys and make them shoot stuff.

How long can you leave a tab with a cart full of running gear open before it just gives up on you?

Oh my god the Palico looks amazing. Give me a handheld Monster Hunter game with that Stories 3 art style, PLEASE. youtu.be/i78PJfed9Mo?...

I am already bored of ‘just one videogame’ btw One videogame is good, yes, but two videogame is really more gooder.

Wake up, see there's a load of Superbowl adverts recommended to me. I genuinely can't tell which ones are AI. Awful.

Every day as a European.

I decided that the odds of a solitary young criminal with a huge fortune on his person making it through a highly patrolled road that was often pestered with murderous deserters would either be slim to none or none at all. So instead of committing robbery, I made tea.

I’ve reduced my YouTube Watch Later to three videos. My inbox reads ‘0’. I’m playing ONE videogame and reading ONE book. I’m all caught up on my weekly airing shows. I am Jack’s ball of Zen.

Tactics and a pale ale while cooking.

Btw I am loving using Bluesky as a platform to just absolutely GLAZE the things that I love, and see my friends doing the same. There’s too much negativity and it’s BORING. I wanna read about what brings people joy ❤️

It could be the glitz of it, but I played a short amount of the Monster Hunter Stories 3 demo this morning and I am so in on it. Such a great art style, character and environment design, ugh it’s just so damn COOL. I made three characters because the character creation was that good.

Had a funny night sleep so I was up in the wee hours and managed to finish Blood & Wine. Not to be hyperbolic, but guys… this game really is incredible. What an utter delight, one of the best of all time. B&W itself was brilliant, too. I got the worst possible ending and had a blast doing so.

This year with games I'm really just trying to do my own thing. I've got a calendar of releases I'm keeping an eye on, but it's enjoyable to just say "I want to play X from my backlog" or "I want to revisit Y". I'm sure there'll be releases I can't ignore, but it's very chill so far.

Very thankful for this brilliant hardware for any downtime I find myself with during the day. Such a good bit of kit.

It’s time to JJK in the car while the kid does gymnastics.

Nujabes all day

Glad to have wrapped up Fallout, as I was feeling I had a few too many stories on the go. Now it's just Sentenced to be a Hero, Jujutsu Kaisen and Frieren. Outside of those, I'm playing Witcher 3 (B&W), Final Fantasy Tactics and reading The Tainted Cup. That's good, that's manageable.

No Rest for the Wicked confirmed for having a big price hike after this promotion. I sensed this, and really want to play 1.0 - so I bought it yesterday. Still, he can’t help but take a shot at Larian can he? 😂

Just finished Fallout season 2. Pretty good, had a good time with it, very fun show. Loved the throwback to the New Vegas intro. Absolutely BAFFLING that Bethesda haven't been able to capitalise on this hype with a remaster or announce of a new game. What are they doing over there?

@hananomaude.bsky.social I just gave DearGamers a really good read over - I've clicked the odd article, but never properly dove into the site and seen what's on offer. When are you also going to do anime coverage on there? 😂 I feel like I could take a lot of recommendations from you.

The overwhelming feeling of spreading myself too thin is creeping up once more. Family, friends, hobbies, free time, everything. At least within media I really would benefit from just focusing on a handful of stories, rather than trying to consume everything at once.

I tend to err on the side of caution especially with UE5 games, but I watched a preview for Tides of Annihilation this morning, and… I could really be into this. Chinese studio, insane art design and Jennifer English? It’s got a lot going for it, for sure. youtu.be/JJ3fDz_xCio?...

Vampire Survivors x Vital Shell (VS x VS) Steam Bundle 🚨 been slightly obsessed with Vital Shell soooo... you can grab both games for yourself, or a friend, with a 10% discount on Steam 🫣 https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/63145/

I've only had [Throw Stone in Final Fantasy Tactics] for a day and a half but if anything happened to [Throw Stone in Final Fantasy Tactics] I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.

Here are four games I really want to get to at some point... One of these days I'll just have to pull the trigger and make a start, or they'll forever be slipping down the list. - Final Fantasy X - The First Berzerker Khazan - Dragons Dogma 2 - A Space for the Unbound

It’s good to do this while making coffee, isn’t it?

Annoying that work is quite busy this week, because I don't really fancy it?

KIM KITSURAGI - The lieutenant leans in confidentially. “You wouldn't be able to hear if he were wearing anal beads,” he whispers.

There’s something so cosy about taking a walk at 5am while it’s pitch black, completely quiet, wrapped up warm in a ski jacket. Got my podcast and I’m off to get coffee.

With every quest I complete in Blood & Wine, the realisation dawns on me more and more that I have in fact already played it.

As someone that generally isn't into medieval fantasy settings... BOY I am suddenly knee deep in medieval fantasy. Witcher 3, Final Fantasy Tactics, Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, Frieren, Sentenced To Be A Hero... who am I?

Finished a bunch of endings for ‘Needy Streamer Overload’ in a fairly short time. I kind of… get it. It’s very good, very fucked up, quite well done but I don’t need to exhaust everything it offers. It has Doki Doki vibes. store.steampowered.com/app/1451940/...

Someone tell me I’m not crazy for not buying No Rest For The Wicked now I want to wait for 1.0. I don’t mind paying a few more quid when it gets there. I was very, VERY impressed by it though.

Few bad days of sleep, up today at 3 and so was my eldest. Then today we’ve got a family day out that will mess with the youngest’s sleep schedule, so… no free time tonight either. I really do love being a dad but, god, I’d kill for an hour or two of time to myself each day.

Witcher 3 fans are always "Yen this" and "Triss that", yet Anna Henrietta exists????

A friend is telling me that Final Fantasy Tactics is like crack on the Steam Deck and great to have as an “always on Deck” thing. Can anyone confirm or deny this? I am very tempted.

I have spent almost the entire day sorting out the shed and taking junk to the tip. The shed is now brilliant. Praise shed.

Thanks to @0xsegfau1t.bsky.social I’ve been looking at the new Black Desert Online classes released since I last played. I don’t know WHY you’d play this game these days…. But by god they look amazing don’t they? youtu.be/QCkVJZyZ_SM?...

My favourite thing about The Witcher 3 is going into everyone's houses and being a horrible little loot goblin.

Fell asleep with the kid again, so now I’m wide awake at 1am 😂 It’s so annoying, I feel cheated of my evening. I was going to have a glass of red wine, some chocolate, play the Witcher. I can’t really do that at 1am, since I’ve slept it now feels like breakfast time.

Anyone want to place some bets on how this runs at release? store.steampowered.com/app/3321460/...

Well, I've finished Octopath Traveler 2. I liked a lot about it, but I have criticisms too. I'm certainly not in a rush to play another. More party focus would compliment the EXCELLENT battle system. I've posted my full thoughts in a Steam review here: steamcommunity.com/id/outline01...

HUGE credit to Capcom, I'm seeing so much positive sentiment that Monster Hunter Wilds is running better now. Annoyingly I've just fallen out of the flow of playing it as I've started The Witcher 3. But that is excellent news, looking forward to seeing the improvements myself.

The latest episode of Jujutsu Kaisen ("Passion") was fantastic. They've ALL been good this season, but Mappa is pushing the limit in different ways every single episode. This rotoscoped one-shot was so natural and well done, the tension building perfectly. Really having such a good time watching.

JJK good.

This character design for Monster Hunter Stories 3 might be enough to sell me on the game alone

Cairn is out today! I hope everyone has a lovely climb up the mountain or whatever you do.

Two games I am DANGEROUSLY close to picking up - The First Berserker: Khazan, and Hell is Us. £20 seems a great price for either.
