Dammit, I wish I would've known that Netflix were removing the Star Trek shows. I was binge watching them and the films in release order, but gave myself a little break from them. Not sure why I bother paying for Netflix at all tbh. This is why physical media and pirate hats are needed...

Just finished rereading The Wheel of Time to try and purge my memory of the Amazon abomination. One of the only good things that came from that show was the Origins animation. youtu.be/etfUTEmCfqU?...

Sucks that making a manual save is completely disabled when doing some missions in Star Wars Outlaws, don't know what the thinking is there? And I fail to understand why Kay is risking everything for ND-5. The relationship doesn't seem that deep. Is it Stockholm Syndrome or something?

Star Wars Outlaws has lots of yellow paint, but just incase you still might struggle, it has arrows pointing to the yellow paint. Very accommodating. I've mostly enjoyed the game, but the platforming kinda sucks, especially having to wait for an on screen prompt before being allowed to grab a ledge.

You can't park there, sir! #VirtualPhotography #StarWarsOutlaws

"I am broken." Finally, a character I can empathise with. #VirtualPhotography #StarWarsOutlaws

I'm not exactly in a rush to finish Star Wars Outlaws, but I'm thankful that I was gifted Neva and Kingdom Come: Deliveroo 2 and some PSN store vouchers for Christmas. Hopefully keep me going for a good chunk of the year.

I've just finished rewatching all the Bond movies, so I'm now ready to play and understand the plot of 007 First Light when it's released. Dr No is still my favourite, probably because I watched it loads when I was younger. I've always liked Casino Royale too, but the rest are mostly a bit shit.

Is it just me, or is this photomode a bit unstable? Getting a fair few game crashes when using it. #VirtualPhotography #StarWarsOutlaws

Pizza the Hutt. #VirtualPhotography #StarWarsOutlaws Forgot to turn HDR off I guess. It's good seeing these characters, but it also kinda highlights how derpy many of the other NPCs look.

Only a few days into 2026 and I'm already thinking that escapism into video games probably won't cut it anymore.

I fell for it again on Tatooine. The scene went on for 5 minutes and I almost died of boredom. Nix isn't *that* cute to warrant having to spend this much time watching them fill its face and occasionally pressing a random button to enable the scene to continue tbh. #StarWarsOutlaws

Star wars Outlaws has one of the jankiest / useless mount summoning mechanics I can think of. I imagine I'll be wasting hours waiting for this thing to appear.

#VirtualPhotography #StarWarsOutlaws

'This is so good.' I felt like it was the opposite of good. In fact, it was such a tedious sequence, I'm contemplating letting Nix starve so I don't have to experience it again. #StarWarsOutlaws

I hate this kind of game design choice. Subtitles that are cut mid-sentence to display on the next screen, and being able to advance the conversation but it skips to the next person to speak instead of the next line in the conversation. Trying it's best to put me off buying it. #StarWarsOutlaws

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

Sampling that there Star Wars Outlaws demo to try and decide if I should buy, as it's in the PlayStation sale. I always thought it looked pretty good, but then was immediately put off whenever I watched any actual gameplay. Typical of Ubisoft I guess. #VirtualPhotography #StarWarsOutlaws

Probably not seen every announcement yet, but No Law, The Free Shepherd, Control Resonant and the Tomb Raider stuff intrigues me the most. Star Wars games too ofc, but I ain't holding my breath on the FoTOR game until I see something other than a trailer and a certified release date in this decade.

Instead of Highguard, which moved me not at all, could someone do something with this franchise for some sci-fi/magic shenanigans?

Gonna check out all of the Game Award trailers later and add another bunch of games to my wishlist/radar that probably won't be released for another few years. At what point does a wishlist become a bucket list?

Wow, even PlayStation is calling me out for being a jobless, friendless loser. I don't remember signing up for this kind of mockery.

Keep thinking about this scene. Stunned at how they didn't react to a slaughtered colleague at their feet. And the cops upstairs? Sheriff vanishes and dead cops, but happily tapping away at reception, counting paperclips in a store closet, smoking a tab outside. Business as usual in Bright Falls?

Pulling up the map *not* pausing gameplay, or NPC dialogue (also muting it, why am I deaf glancing at a map?!), is one of the worst gameplay mechanics I have ever seen. Alan Wake II is a terrible video game, how did it review so positively? Sometimes feel like I play different games to other people.

Colleague lying dead on the floor? Absolutely zero fucks given. Nice.

Not very far into Alan Wake II but this game is annoying me already. The 'Mind Place' blows, feel like I'm just throwing shit at the wall and hoping it sticks. And didn't get a prompt that I had a final piece of evidence to place, so wandered around the morgue wondering wtf I was supposed to do.

#VirtualPhotography #AlanWakeII

Trying Alan Wake II and I'm pretty impressed by the photomode. I can't seem to make the flashlight or portrait spotlight disappear though. Am I just being a dumbass, or is it bugged? #AlanWakeII #VirtualPhotography

Netflix getting ready for the obligatory subscription price increase. 'Nothing changing today', indeed. Great, well I won't have to change into my pirate hat today either.

Alan Wake was pretty good, I just felt like it needed to end sooner than it actually did. 'Please let it end, make it stop' were my main thoughts when playing the driving back to Cauldron Lake level towards the end. Oh, and the birds, fuck those damn birds. Pic: Me, whenever I use photomode.

It's been in my library for ages, but I've finally started Torch Shining Simulator 9000 (Alan Wake). Feels nice to play something that I don't instantly dislike.

From the little I played of it, this game wasn't exactly that impressive to look at, so was surprised this was an option. Still, I'm glad it was included as part of PS+, not that I thought it was good though. Tried several games recently and just felt underwhelmed or disappointed with most of them.

Played the first few missions and Cleared Hot is good so far. A bargain at 12 quid.

Been playing Surviving Mars Relaunched. Never played the original, but it's mostly been an enjoyable experience. However, the performance as my colony expands is becoming problematic, and I'm learning that bugs/issues I encounter also appeared in the game's previous iteration, which is inexcusable.

Buying this and hoping the controller support is good and it runs on my shitty laptop. I played the Strike games so much; I barely remember birthdays, but still remember the password that loaded me into Jungle Strike's Stealth Fighter mission! store.steampowered.com/app/1710820/...

Ghost of Yōtei is getting photo mode enhancements... ⏱️Shutter speed! 👤Additional character options 🐎Horse visibility 🖌️More colour filters What else are you hoping to see on Nov 24th? #VirtualPhotography | @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social

The Game Awards is just a meaningless popularity contest. What do you mean, it allows me to vote for a bunch of games I've never actually played? Best eSports team/athlete? Only heard of one of them, so they must be the best, right?! Votes locked in anyway, who gives a shit. (:

V Rising is another game off my play list! \o/ Not because I completed it though, but because I just didn't like it that much 🤷‍♂️

Next game up was supposed to be Viewfinder. I thought it'd be a game I'd enjoy, but I didn't really feel engaged when playing it. I also found the narration unbearable, even turning it off and just reading the subtitles irritated me 😂

Game completed! I didn't take many pictures really, because I thought it was a beautiful game and I think everyone should discover it for themselves. #SwordOfTheSea #VirtualPhotography

If I'm being honest, this is a visual representation of what happens to the average game that ends up in the backlog 😅 @cyriellevp.bsky.social #SwordOfTheSea #VirtualPhotography
