The shops down the walk of Leith are lovely and welcoming and care about the books/board games/etc they are so passionate about. Waterstones being here would take away from that. It's such a poor decision and shouldn't be accepted.

Death Stranding 2 is there when Blue Prince isn't?? Ehhhhh

I'm reminded at how depressing Golgo 13 The Professional is as a film. Animation wise it's got amazing shots and the cg/3d isn't as jarring as I remember. But yeah. I don't think you can really like this film for what it is otherwise.

March is gonna be a busy month. Well

Yooo Coffee Talk in March!

Dragon Quest 7 character designs are great

Can report the same here. My sub count has also dropped significantly, suddenly.

Same thing has been happening to me. I've had an unusual number of dropoffs and have been telling people if they do not mean to discontinue their subs with me to check their sub tab.

This is very good reading and more reason why i don't go near games like this.

ChaO was fantastic. There was a lot in the visual and audio that made me laugh and caught my eye. To know it was entirely hand drawn too with the amount put into it was fascinating. It's a brilliant example of fun, vibrant character design that I love to see

These seats are so comfyyyyy and there's leg space.

At the @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social to see my first film of the @lovesanimation.bsky.social festival~

It's nice to finally be back in the @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social for @lovesanimation.bsky.social - you can really tell they've put a lotta love into the place. Missed being here!

Fast Pace let me in! Thank you!! More Gestalt showcasing on the way. Thank you for letting me take this little game around and show it off.

This whole thread is joyous ✨🥰

This year, we're leveling up - all these faces and more will be streaming and fundraising with us this Jingle Jam! We can't wait to make a huge difference to some amazing charities together. Want to see your favourite creators join us? Tag them below! 🔗 jinglejam.co.uk/creators25

GTAVI being delayed again isn't surprising to be honest. Also it's a good thing considering they wanna polish it up

@robert1988uk.bsky.social not sure if you've tried them yet but if you can find it - Unorthodox Roasters Shockd coffee beans are really nice. Extremely fruity flavour. You notice it from opening the pack as well. Good stuff

Police helicopters out. 3 vans nearby. Guess it's the police vs fireworks outside our door again. Roads gonna get closed off too. I'm so glad I went out earlier

Run got declined for AGDQ but that's okay! I never thought I'd ever submit a run to an event like this, so the fact I even felt confident enough to provide a run is something to be proud of. There's plenty more opportunities to come!

Watched the Casshern film for the first time this evening and it was an enjoyable watch. The message of the movie was thrown at you all the time and the translation/subtitles needed work. But it had a lot of cool elements. I'm not sure this is my favourite iteration of Casshern. But it wasn't bad

Do not trust subscription services. 🗣️📢 Buy physical. Store your own raw digital copies. Keep the media and art that you love within your own access.

Live for a couple hours doing speedruns. Gestalt new skips/strats practice then Katana Zero www.twitch.tv/angelarbalest

On a positive note. It's a great feeling when you can size down from XL to L clothes. Has been a long time coming. Feels good

No films for me today. Wanted to try and get to Redline at least but noticed the film is sold out. Bummed out - but I'm glad nothing happened with fireworks this year. Just annoyed that being overly cautious made me miss two opportunities I'll never get again to see Takeshi Koike. Blah

Happy Halloween everyone. Thankfully it's quiet around us. No police face offs. So we're going to relax and re-watch Versus. Not seen it in years and I enjoyed it a lot last I saw it

Oh this looks fascinating. I'll need to give it a good when it releases

Time to start a journey through Raccoon City in preperation for Resident Evil Requiem! Starting where it began, and a rather Marmite-y game at that, it's Resident Evil Zero! https://www.twitch.tv/yoshichief https://www.youtube.com/YoshiChief

Edinburgh is usually pretty safe. But at this time of year which is around the time SLA Glasgow is happening now. It's not as safe in some areas(sadly where I stay) as it once was.

Was hoping I'd be able to go to see Lupin at SLA in Glasgow on the 31st but I'm really worried about getting home and the state of things otherwise. We're in the middle of the worst bit for police and kid face offs and I'm not sure of going back home would be safe at the time it finishes.

Figured I'd take the chance to write up a (warning: long) blog post highlighting some of the work I'm particularly proud of over the years for AUKN. I'm surprised I found the energy after being at work, but I was feeling inspired today I guess.

Going Live on twitch for some horror games for a couple hours, because why not www.twitch.tv/angelarbalest

Stream is probably going to start later today as I woke up late and need foodage. So aiming for 4pm!

This is ridiculous - and this was after twitch said they heightened security from concerns raised. Clearly they need to re-evaluate what they deem as "heightened security" I'm glad Emiru is okay, but it should never had hit this point.

Live now with Phasmophobia! Let's scare peoples www.twitch.tv/angelarbalest

Tonight at 7pm - I'll be streaming alongside The Blue Cross' Hannah, FallenAngel and Robblehead for a few hours of Phasmophobia as a donation target was hit for Fallens Hallow-Stream fundraiser! I'm looking forward to spooking people about all evening >:3

Finally finished Ghost of Tsushima last night and got the Platinum. Very fun all in all - had a couple issues but gotta say, it was a good showing from Sucker Punch. I am definitely wanting to get Yotei at some point, but I need to clear my backlog properly first before I do.

This is a hard one to swallow. He was divisive for some people I know but all the same, he made some of the games that built me to where I am today(love or hate it, I wouldn't be where i am in part without the impact DOA4 had on my life) Rest in Peace

This feels pretty on par with what I expected of the two consoles. However saying that, I can't help but feel the PS5 has....very little value in purchase for me as a result? Games are few and far between that would lure me into the console and now we're saying successor is here early. Feels weird

Home made pumpkin soup and home made garlic bread. My favourite thing in autumn

Chill stream day! starting with Tiny Bookshop, then maybe moving to Megabonk for the last bit after :3 www.twitch.tv/angelarbalest

On that note. For tomorrows stream, I won't be speedrunning but will have a chill day with a couple of indie games. Will be starting with some Tiny Bookshop as I wanted to try that a while back, and then maybe if I want something else a bit of Megabonk. Speedrunning will recommence next Sunday

Been on recovery this week as it looks like i got hit by some kind of bug/bad reaction on Monday and then a wave of exhaustion/burnout after. so a very slow week. This weekend being relatively quiet is a godsend as i need to switch my brain off for once.

Well that was unexpected

First time booting up my Ps5 since i dropped PS+ and it's quite nice to finally have a way to focus on the games i own now rather than games I'm given through the subscription. My backlog will finally disappear

This was so fun. I hope to be able to do more like this in the future and I learned a lot of things as well. Thank you for setting up this madness and letting me participate. Means the world :)

Got another race tonight! 4 player race of Shinobi: Art of Vengeance's any% Novice category vs @arbalest.bsky.social , @froob.bsky.social & @sonicanim.bsky.social. Learned alot of tricks from the Dark Katana speedrun challenge so BIG PB inc! 🟣 - www.twitch.tv/argick 🔴 - youtube.com/live/amo4UQq...
