Super Metroid finished

Just pleased we’re through. The FA Cup has been rough for us (apart from a good run last season) so I hope we can stay in it for as long as possible

Hope Kamara’s injury isn’t too serious. We are not the same team without him in midfield

Emery has his targets and rarely lets go of them - I see we’re in for Conor Gallagher again

Now playing Super Metroid. Completely lost.

Me: handsome, confident - there’s no way snow is going to settle on ground that wet

Boy, I tell ya. #pixelart

I presume Grealish will be able to play against us at Villa Park as he’ll only be suspended for Everton’s FA Cup match

A draw against our bogey side. I’ll take it. We’ve had astounding luck with shots flying in from everywhere, only right that we have a day when nothing comes off

I did it! Hands sweaty, shaking with adrenaline and nerves in the final phase. Used the cutscenes to steady myself. Stopped trying to fight him on his terms and made him fight me on mine. A little cheesy, but I don’t care. Done.

Now stuck on the final final boss. Cannot do it. Banging my head, getting more frustrated and making mistakes, which is compounding my issues. Ugh.

(Still) Playing Metroid: Samus Returns on the 3DS. Reached the Diggernaut boss battle last night and was just getting my ass kicked. Twice I got to the final phase and the boss down to their last single weakpoint only to die. I gave up and went to bed

Rosenior’s contract is until 2032?! That’s confidence. Ah well, at least it guarantees him a big payout when he’s gone in eighteen months.

How many more managers can go? Dyche and Nuno next!

So let me get this right - the Government can dictate that grown adults using the internet must share their protected data (ages/photos/credit card details) lest a child accidentally see a nipple, but if a billionaire’s shitty AI generates nude images of that child, nothing can be done?

Maresca to United, Amorim to Chelsea. It’s the only way.

Haha! Fucking hell. United are a joke club.

It’s hilarious to me the amount of money Microsoft have thrown at making Xbox a brand and despite being nearly 25 years old now, their legacy is still less than that of Sega

*posted without context*

Just looked at the table and I see Villa and Newcastle have the same number of points. One is a club in crisis, the other isn’t. Funny the stories we tell

These two

That’s the thing about almost dying, Emily. It is a real buzzkill.

I’m still astounded how The Simpsons got away with this joke at the time

Please, not another wise-cracking, brash but kind-hearted rogue. I want Driver. In space. A monosyllabic psychopath battering this shit out of alien muppets with a hammer kotaku.com/ryan-gosling...

That’s all I wanted from the team today - a professional home performance to get us back on track. Ollie continues his streak with a stunner from outside the box (to add to our collection this season) and a proper captain’s display from McGinn. Shame to have conceded, but a nice win and up to second

Super Ollie!

Yeah, this is predictably me (I watched all the Mission: Impossible movies this year, and almost all of Paul Thomas Anderson’s films too)

Seems like Tuesday used up all the Premier League goals…

#AVFC has announced the signing of Alysson in a deal worth up to €12million. Deal was done last month but waited for formal completion. Winger viewed as a potential player, who, at 19 years of age, will need to be refined. Emery to take a closer look and assess him in training.

The reason I dug out my 3DS was to play Metroid: Samus Returns. I don’t think I had touched the 3DS since the release of the Switch, but I’d forgotten what a brilliantly designed piece of kit it was.

Currently doing a Metroid play through, so if Nintendo want to release remastered versions of Metroid Prime 2 & 3, and/or a new 2D game for the 40th anniversary this year, that would be cool

Happy New Year!

Metroid Prime Remastered finished. Once I knew what I was doing, the final boss wasn’t too hard. But having an annoying climb up to battle them where Fission Metroids could knock you off platforms and eat up your health has to be one of the most annoying choices I’ve encountered in games for awhile

Portal and Portal 2 together for £3.50 on Switch? Yes please. Not only that, but the most up-to-date versions of the games available on any console. And it was added to the Nintendo Switch three years ago, apparently

Not disappointed, not gutted. This run was always going to come to an end. Arsenal ruthlessly exploited our defensive frailties (that have been existent all season - when was our last clean sheet?). It’s now about how we pick ourselves up. We’re in a great position, let’s take advantage of it

Won’t be watching tonight, but whatever the result, what a fantastic run this Aston Villa team have been on. They have surprised and astounded me every week. A reminder to myself and others to enjoy it now because it may be a very long time before we the likes of this again. UTV!

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

It took forever, but I finally found my 3DS - at the bottom of plastic storage container that was full of cables and wires for long obsolete connections

Video game: hey, don’t worry too much about health and save points - we’ll give you plenty and space the save points well Same video game: Oh hey, now we’re going to take away the health rewards and only let you have a save point after forty minutes

Across the last three Premier League seasons, Aston Villa have won more points from losing positions than any other Premier League side (54). They just don’t know when they are beaten. Piece @theathleticfc.bsky.social #AVFC www.nytimes.com/athletic/692...

Ollie Watkins for Aston Villa vs Chelsea: 32 minutes played 2 goals scored 100% shots on target 15 touches 7 touches in the oppositions box Game changer!! #AVFC

When Dean Smith got ten wins in a row to take us into the playoffs in the Championship I genuinely thought it was the only time it would happen in my lifetime. Emery has taken us to eleven wins in a row. Should it end against Arsenal Tuesday, I won’t care. What a phenomenal phenomenal achievement

Arise, Sir Ollie

Outplayed, outfought, losing battles all over the field in the first half, but they hung in there. Second half, the manager made the changes, and like Sly turning his hat around in Over The Top, we flipped a switch and thing opened up

My heart 💜🩵

This team, man. This team

ANOTHER ONE

Funny how playing a video game is now considered meaningful use of your time in the era TikTok and doomscrolling
