I had a bad dream involving misrepresented data. Am I done? Is this it for me?

I guess all the great games are coming out this week eh? I've already dropped £50 on #pragmata. What's another £50 on #mousepi and #replacedgame among friends?

First day back at work today after like a week and a half off. I am not ready for this. Plus side? I'm handing my notice in inside the next 20 minutes. So that's something I guess?

Can't afford it, but I just dropped £50 on #pragmata on PS5. Yolo.

#pragmata might be a day one purchase for me. Just played the demo and it looks and plays great on the Deck. Giving me some #astralchain vibes in the combat department, and I've been chasing that dragon for a while.

I don't think Washington makes the playoffs, but let's be honest. Last night wasn't about that. If Ovechkin does bow out at the end of the season, a home win against your biggest rivals in your final home game isn't a bad way to go. #allcaps

I'm planning on starting to run over the next few weeks. I'll be dropping one workout day and instead hitting the streets like everyone's favourite fictional boxer. Only issue....I've no idea what I'm doing. Any tips from those of you on Masterdon with some experience with #running

Real nice to see the young guys getting a chance in the #allcaps line-up of late. Hutson looks phenomenal and Lil' Pro has four points in his first two games. Leonard has established himself as a productive player after just one season and Sourdiff has been an absolute steal. Hopefully we can […]

I'm not typically a Red Wings hater but what the heck happened there? Isn't this like the third season in a row they've completely fallen off after Christmas and lost themselves a playoff spot at the end of the season? Time for Stevie Y to go bye-bye? Larkin maybe? #Hockey #HNOM @hockey

Absolute nightmare getting home yesterday. Firstly the flight was delayed by an hour. I think this had something to do with the newly implemented security procedures in the EU. Thankfully by the time we got to security they weren't bothering with them and it made that part of the trip a breeze […]

[UKPol - The MP Salary Conversation] I absolutely loath the 'do politicians deserve a pay rise' conversation. Yes they do. Frankly they deserve to be paid a lot more. Despite what your average Facebook commenter might say, they work ridiculously long hours. They work weekends. They sacrifice […]

Last day of holiday today. Back to the real world tomorrow. 12 hours of travel. Going to be an absolute nightmare the day after the travel rules change no less. Flight at 11. Train at 3. If I'm lucky I'll get home by 6. If I'm lucky.

I've had it sitting on my Steamdeck for well over a year...but I finally tried #thronefall. And yeh, it's a pretty great Tower Defence game.

Lil bit of #mariokart whilst I wait for everyone to put their kids to bed. #retrogaming

Holiday reading. #reading #politics #ukpol

Going away today. Come back next Saturday afternoon. That's seven days. Without the kids. Missus won't let me take the kids on the trip, and also doesn't want to come so....just me and my family (brothers, parents, nieces and nephews). Mine will be the only kids not there. Bummer. The longest […]

My works 'payrise' comes into effect today. When I started at the place I was like £1 above the minimum wage. Two years later? Bang on. And it doesn't appear to have improved in the year since. If that ain't a pay cut I don't know what is. But it's not all bad, we'll likely get a free burger in […]

When you're already having a shit night's sleep and one of your kids starts coughing. 👌

Just rolled credits on #PokemonBlue. It's taken me thirty years but I've finally beaten it, and I didn't have to save-scum once. Special thanks to my Dugtrio who essentially one-shotted three of my rivals Pokémon without taking a hit. What a lad!. I'm not one […] [Original post on mstdn.games]

My tactic when it comes to the elite four is simply. Imma grind these bastards until I my under-levelled Pokémon are no longer under-levelled. Stocking up on healing items but I don't intend on using them until I'm absolutely sure I can brute force my way […] [Original post on mstdn.games]

I made a quick top-five of my favourite #psvita games. https://backloggd.com/u/danielholt/list/psvita-my-top-five/

Won't lie, I'm pretty desperate to play some #marathon but I'm a 38 year old father of two who can't get his brothers to play the damn thing with me.

Named my Eevee after my daughter as it's her favourite #pokemon. I also gave her the important task of deciding if she evolves into a Jolteon or a Flareon. Ideally she'll have gone with the fire-type as I have nothing that deals fire damage....she did not.

#oasis There ain't no way that Digsy's Dinner is the worst song on Definitely Maybe. It's an absolute banger from front to back and has one of my favourite bits of Liam elongating a lyric in 'Lasaaaaaaaaagne'. Also Shakermaker kinda sucks.

I reckon I've messed up catching Snorlax 5-6 times over various versions of Pokémon. Not today. Didn't even require a save-state either, just bopped him under the bum with Dog a few times and then threw a ball his way. Can't imagine I'll use him, but it's nice to have.

I'm 38 years old and I've never really understood what a Turbo button does on a #videogame controller. When they were about, I was an idiot child and I guess I'm now an idiot adult. Someone care to enlighten me?

I *think* my Gyrados might be a little OP. I'm working my way up the Pokémon tower and he just no-hit through Peter's entire roster of Pokémon. Man didn't get hit once. #pokemonblue

Big day today. Eldest had their birthday party *and* I've broken down the youngest cotbed. For the first time in four years mine and my partner's room is ours and ours alone.

Finished #residentevilrequiem just now and despite having a few issues with how the game handles parrying and some super-late game decisions, I really really loved it. Probably my favourite Resident Evil game, and one that will almost certainly make the top five end of year list.

Seeing all these videos going around of Michael B Jordan celebrating his Oscar win by saluting his fellow #fridaynightlights co-star and Oscar Nominee Jesse Plemons warms my heart in ways I didn't know I needed. That TV show was truly special, and not nearly enough people watched it. And I say […]

Gonna need to watch a video primer to see how all this #residentevil stuff connects to one another. I've played most of the games (and all of the recent ones) but there's so much going on that I often forget the details.

Jesus fucking Christ I've been doing this shit for twenty minutes. #pokemonblue

I don't typically moan about relationship stuff on socials but hooooooly shit-balls boys and girls. I operate a pretty strict policy of 'if in doubt, be generous'. It's a world view. Most people aren't actively trying to ruin your day. My partner on the other hand? She's becoming more and more […]

If you'd have told me that #firefly was making a return I'd have told you that it was a completely unnecessary revival.... But now it seems like it might be happening and you know what? Sign me the fuck up.

[RE9 Spoilers - Grace - 3rd Puzzle Box] I know they have to do it to service the plot, but I find it a little odd that Grace is so unwilling to try and brute force the third puzzle-box. It's three buttons. The only signifying markings on the buttons are written in braille. Instead of trial and […]

So I've decided to go back to #PokemonBlue for the first time in nearly 30 years. I got to the elite four as a kid, but could never get past them. As such, I've got some unfinished business with this game. Thought about playing #LeafGreen instead but I think I […] [Original post on mstdn.games]

Bungie didn't ask anyone to delay their reviews. They advised reviewers that there would be a content drop in two weeks that might change potential reviewers opinions on the game. If the outlet in question wants to release their review, they're totally entitled to do so. If they feel like […]

Holy shit. We traded Carlson.

Washington have traded Nick Dowd. That one hurts. #ALLCAPS #Hockey @hockey

Been playing some #residentevilrequiem and my main takeaways so far are: I'm confused as to how this all ties together with both RE7/8 and the OG story. And also I'm disappointed the shooting still feels like ass. I think that's a choice from the developers... but I still dislike it. I am […]

I didn't realise #projecthailmary was out in such little time. Guess my re-read is off the table unless I totally skip the cinema release, which would be a shame as I generally think big-budget spacey stuff should be seen in as large a screen as possible. *Jazz hands*

It's my birthday. 38 years old. What the fuck happened there eh? Fucking mental. Anyway, off to work.

I'm going to finish reading #thetaintedcup and then I'm gonna dive head first into this fucking thing. #videogames #residentevilrequiem

Got myself a new job. I'll be a bin-man for the local council now. Pay is a bit less, but the hours are much nicer and the pension contributions more than make up for any initial loss in earnings. Most importantly, I can cycle the 2 miles to the depot, both improving my overall fitness *and* […]

I've just slent twenty minutes playing the #replacedgame demo and this is going to be an insta-buy for me. https://youtu.be/wcPRhT90u10?si=kipSAE5SUDO7yMel

Apparently #residentevilrequiem runs well on #steamdeck. Now I'd usually default to getting it on PC/Deck, but given I don't actually have a gaming PC right now I'm a little unsure. I'll probably stick with PS5. I can always grab it on PC later with a heavy discount during a sale right?

[UKPol - Gorton and Denton] I'm a simple man. I see #reformuk fail to win a bi-election, I smile. #ukpolitics #gortonanddenton

Started my next read. Going back to fiction with this one. #TheTaintedCup by Robert Jackson Bennet. #Reading @bookst

Really struggling to play much of anything at the moment. However, #residentevilrequiem will be an immediate download when it comes out. It's my birthday on Tuesday so you know what? I'm going to treat myself.

I absolutely love this photo. Guy takes a high-stick. Loses teeth. Then he immediately high-sticks somebody else and has to sit in the box with like 2 minutes left against the most elite PP unit ever built trying to score the goal that'll win gold. They don't […] [Original post on mstdn.games]
