Finished season 3 of Invasion and I don't think I've forced myself to get through a season of TV as much as I did this bullshit. Hopefully Apple don't renew it for a 4th season, but if they do...honestly, I'll just read it online and be done with it.

The only SoS I'll recognise in relation to anything Sonic is Summer of Sonic, not the final "Crush40" tour. It looks exactly like it smelled from a distance.

Better! Still not perfect, and another striker is perhaps needed, but at least the losing streak is over.

That's One Piece S2 done. Hopefully Netflix get S3 out soon-ish. Then again, once I'm done with Bleach I'm going to dive into the anime, and I've got the manga on my to-read list as well, so I'm covered either way if they don't.

Today in "Never Going to Happen" It sounds too ambitious, and far too expensive if SEGA also aren't on board. Plus there's the whole legalities of using SEGA IP if it hasn't been licensed out. If it does happen, I'll be there, but I highly, HIGHLY doubt it will.

SEGA saying "Yeah, we know you've been asking for Chaos Garden for YEARS, and we've finally listened - by adding it as a mode in a Puyo Puyo game that you can only play on iPhones and iPads. Oh, and it's obviously Puyo instead of Chao."

For the 20th anniversary of my music side project Living Sedative, let's start a thread about the rest of the albums & EPs. Up next was A Second Taste, a B-Sides album I put out in November 2006: livingsedative.bandcamp.com/album/a-seco... As with the album, I still used eJay for this.

Got back into Breath of the Wild at the weekend because I remembered NSO gives me the Switch 2 Edition and I can use the phone app to find shit. Plus I've had it since the Switch 1 launch and never played long enough to REALLY get stuck into it. 80% main quests complete but only 12% overall.

I'm a fan of Orlando, so I'm not mocking anybody here, but this is the funniest thing I've seen all day. It's like "yeah, we'll just forget the scoreline, nothing to see here". Go again next week, guys. Season is still young!

Turned Orlando City on for something to watch before setting up for SNS, and the first thing I see? Goalkeeper getting sent off, then New York FC going 1-0 up. Losing 3 from 3 to start the MLS season, then. Fantastic.

Posting this now, because I'm useless at remembering milestones, but if you didn't know I dabble in "making" music (I don't compose anything, I use music making software & a lot of it is samples), and next month my first album turns 20, which I think we should celebrate.

I like days where Man United and @orlandocitysc.com both play on the same day. Well, if they both win that is. United did earlier, now to see if Orlando can win the Florida derby in about three hours.

I was going to buy the Game Music Collection thing that was announced today, and even though the Pokémon Center website doesn't say it's sold out they're also saying it's unavailable, so that's nice. I'll keep an eye on it I guess. I want me a micro Game Boy thing with tiny cartridges lol.

It's pretty shitty of WB to accept the Netflix deal, and then go "oh no wait hang on" and look at the Paramount one. It was also pretty silly of Netflix to announce they were buying WB when they perhaps knew it wasn't QUITE a done deal. This is going to rumble on for a bit longer, I think.

Nearing the end of FFIII - I'm up to the Crystal Dungeon, so just the proper long final dungeons to go. Then however many hours it'll take to 100% the Bestiary, as I think there's a fair few in the overworlds that I haven't fought yet.

But-but-but video game music isn't real music, it's just beeps and boops...

Well...I guess I don't need to import a Japanese 3DS now.

Now that the MLS is included with Apple TV from this season, I thought I'd make more of an effort to catch @orlandocitysc.com games (I adopted them as my MLS team back in 2015 when we went on honeymoon). Not going too well so far 😅 Here's hoping the second half is better! Can't actually be worse...

Want to hear about all the SEGA games I've been playing recently? Well, that won't be happening this week as I haven't played any BUT we will run through the @radiosega.net Top 40 requests of January this evening. Come join in at 10pm UK Time.

Finished reading the Transformers manga, and now I REALLY wish I hadn't slept on getting the Takara series on DVD back when it was in print, as trying to get hold of it now is going to be a bit costly... Ah well. Might have to see if there's some other way to watch them.

It's nice that Nintendo are re-releasing Fire Red and Leaf Green I guess, but £17 seems a bit steep for GBA games when every other GBA game on Switch is on the Nintendo Classics GBA app.

Along with Pokémon TCG Pocket, I've now gotten back into Pokémon GO as something to do as I wander around. Probably won't last long, but if you'd like to be my friend, my code is: 0896 4192 0432.

Tonight on @radiosega.net - SNS feels the love this Valentine's Day with a pre-recorded show featuring @sega-west.bsky.social tracks that have the word "love" in their name. Fun time all around, so tune in from ~10pm UK Time to hear it.

I know nobody will really care for my opinions, but here's a State of Play thread anyway. Let's go!

Unrealistic expectation for the State of Play: FFVII Remake Part 3 OR FFIX Remake!

This is a direct consequence of parents spending years just handing children devices that can connect to the Internet and not making the most of the parental controls available to them, and then complained when said children were exposed to content, and social media, that wasn't suitable for them.

I literally played this game last week, and had no idea there was even a film coming out. This does look awesome, though. Wonder how wide a release it'll get in the UK.

Had a Kingdom Hearts Loungefly bag on order since mid-December as it was a very good price, and Amazon decide to tell me today, four days after it was due for delivery, that they don't have stock so are cancelling the order. Which is nice of them. Oh well, I've got money if I need it now I guess?

Don't know if anybody can help, but I'll ask anyway- For the last three days, at random times, my phone will just decide it's not got a SIM in it anymore and claim there's no mobile service. Restarting fixes it, but only until the next day Any ideas? I'm using a Google Pixel Pro Fold if that helps

Well, fuck.

Got coerced into joining Pokémon Trading Card Pocket earlier today, so...here's my friend ID if anybody else happens to play it and wants to be my friend.

Tomorrow, for the first time in a long time, I'm going to just sit and chill, and play whatever I want. It'll probably be Expedition 33 though, seeing as I think I'm close to the end of it.

I'm inside the Monolith on Expedition 33, so I think on my next Xbox gaming session that could be a game I end up finishing. Am I going to do some of the post-game stuff? Unlikely, as I've got so many other games to finish, unless there's something I absolutely HAVE to do.

The New Year's Unattainable Goal for this year is to be the Number 1 Video Game Podcast SOMEWHERE in the world. We've done it before for 1 single week - it CAN be done again!

Tonight on SNS: Stuff! And Things! Music? Maybe! We'll all find out together on @radiosega.net, tonight at 10pm UK Time.

I'm watching Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog with Alexis and...HOW THE HELL DID THEY GET AWAY WITH MARIO SOUND EFFECTS IN A SONIC CARTOON?!?

Well. Hollow Knight: Silksong is completed, and with that the Twitch career is over. I might do the odd charity stream now and then, or maybe one for new FF/SEGA games, but for now I ride into the streaming sunset. It's been fun.

Getting set up for Silksong now, just had to grab some loo roll from Aldi first. What a life I lead 😂

January seems to be a month of finishing things, so far:- Four games completed Third arc of Bleach anime done (could get 4th done before Feb too) Likely to finish Dragon Ball this evening Is 2026 finally the year where the backlog actually gets smaller?

I've been reading Alexis the monster Kingdom Hearts novel collection that I bought last year, and today we finished Kingdom Hearts: The Novel. Weirdly misses out Colosseum & Hundred Acre Wood, as well as Halloween Town which the manga also skips, but otherwise pretty faithful adaptation.

Is this ACTUALLY Crush 40 though, or is Johnny just...using the name himself? Also, I can't imagine any scenario where enough Sonic fans, rabid though they are, will attend these concerts to a point where that $2m VFX bill is paid off.

Stuck this on the @radiosega.net Discord, but going to mention it here as well - got friends coming around this evening so we're postponing SNS for a week. Should be back as normal next week, and then we'll crack on with a (mostly) weekly schedule lol

Reminder that there's no Silksong today as I'm owing some time back to work, so we'll be back next week to hopefully smack Grand Mother Silk around and get the game done. Depending on how long it takes, we'll use the rest of the time to try and see some other bits.

We've had a bit of a switch around at work due to a delivery not turning up, so I've had half a day today and I'm going to make the rest of the time up tomorrow. What that means is that there won't be a Silksong stream tomorrow, and we'll be back next week.

✨RAFFLE TIME✨ This Hello Kitty Sonic plush from the Sonic & Friends x Sanrio collab needs a loving home! 😺💙 TO ENTER: - Follow @frackdeals.bsky.social and retweet this post! Raffle ends January 16 at 11:59pm PT! Open worldwide. Thank you for your support! 🦎💚

Finished the Assassin's Creed books I own today (had bought them all yearly up until Origins) and...yeah, I'm not continuing on with those. Love the games - recently gotten back into Valhalla (yes I'm behind, I know) - but the books are so dryly written and devoid of any real excitement.

Got fully back into catching up on my anime backlog last night by carrying on with Dragon Ball - I hadn't watched any since coming back from Japan because it was what I'd watch whilst exercising, and I'd done my ankle in. Still not started that back up, though. Soon.

We were talking about former manager earlier, who used to claim he was our saviour when we needed help, and I said "yeah but in the end you couldn't saviour own job" and it was amazing wordplay. Thought you'd like to see it.

There we go - Final Fantasy game number...57 I think? I'm not getting them all together again to check, so let's just say that's close enough.

I had an odd dream yesterday - I'll try and recount it here because it is a strange one. So, I dreamt that I was co-hosting @summerofsonic.bsky.social for a 35th Anniversary special with @sonicstadium.org. There was a press release and everything, then a few weeks beforehand it disappeared.
