I enjoyed Pokémon Legends AZ a lot! Many old favourites in there with a few new favourites, and the photo mode is great. Snapping selfies with happy music on during big emotional moments was very fun. The battle system is a huge improvement and the gameplay loop is incredibly satisfying.

I spent a little quiet time this evening making a couple of Pauper decks that have been on my mind for a while: Arcbound Shikari focused on modular artifact creatures, and Torgal with the simplest strategy of humans, wolves and shapeshifters all fightin' things. Very satisfying to have finished!

Emulators allow dreams to be realised! My 8 year old self would have many terrible things to get a Golem in Pokémon Blue!

I've got a Stardew Valley longplay on in the background this afternoon and the player just grabbed a pizza and 11pm and sprinted back to their farm to water their forgotten crops, pizza grease on their fingers and pockets full of rocks and flowers. They've matched my playstyle perfectly.

Kindfolx has been in my sights for AGES! How could it not be, look at this fella:

Shadow of the Colossus is being awed by the natural majesty of the Golden Fish in the Moomins, but lacking Snufkin's wisdom about how best to preserve the beauty of nature.

I saw Flow today! It was a wonderful and moving film, the amount of character, emotion and humour the animals have was fantastic, and the two big moments - you'll know when you see them - were beautiful. The sound was phenomenal, the music powerful, and the animals each charming and believable.

I'm replaying New Pokémon Snap! It is a fantastic game; the N64 predecessor was excellent, and I could play this forever. One moment that genuinely chilled me - the FRILLISH! They are usually ghoulishly devoid of emotion, but the second they catch a fish and drag it down to the depths? Ecstatic!

I started playing Pokémon Snap again today - still amazing, I could playbit forever - and was reminded when I trended online for a bit with my very basic close shot of Wingull! I'll have to upload some of my favourites, this game was excellent for hilariously unexpected snapshots.

It was my birthday recently, and a friend found the perfect card! (it was filled to the brim with MtG jokes)

A great range of games shown in the #iiiShowcase ! A thread of my favourites, starting with Tears of Metal, an epic-scale hack and slash with fantastic art and great voice acting. The special moves do a comic book panel highlight that I love!

Look Outside has been my brainworm for the last few days - the artstyle is uniquely suited to expressing the madness without sending me packing. It's a fantastic game with a very particular aesthetic and mood that is a treat for me, enough horror and humour to keep me going. Strong recommendation!

The Final Fantasy set of #MtG is shaping up brilliantly! FF8 is looking a bit Blue at the moment, but some characters are spot on - Beatrix and Steiner are fantastic with their Equipment focus, Barret would be nothing but a Red Rebel - and you can suplex a train! Everything is just as it should be!

I finished Bramble in a rare spot of free time (read: very late night into the early hours) and cannot rate it highly enough. I didn’t know anything of it, went in blind and was blown away. It is a fantastic tale with terrifying set pieces and draws wonderfully, and horridly, from Nordic fairytales.

Bramble is an amazing game. I bought it knowing about the fairytale inspiration, but had no idea what I was getting into. My emotions are all over the place, and I am absolutely hooked! There are so many beautiful, heart warming moments, and then... other moments.

DK Bananza looks incredible, but the real star of the show cannot be ignored:

A friend was saying how low effort Flamigo is, and with this card I am not surprised he came to that conclusion! The identity of flamigo and the ideas behind it are great, as far as I can tell it's a backup dancer/stunt double, copying a partner's stats changes on entry with its passive Co-Star.

Slice and Dice is a very fun, and very variable game! This is one of the fighty guys, who hits things. That's his approach - consistent hitting. But what if you told him this wand was hitting, even if it actually boosted his allies instead? And what if a polearm magically duplicated that boost?

Another excellent Magic video from Spice, liberally sprinkled with my favourite type of takes. As per usual, a new card I've never heard of popped up - these Advocates are brand new to me!

I bought some amazing rolls - St. Pierres Brioche Burger Buns - and this is the last morsel of the last bun. Highly recommended... but it is a bit like eating cake. Lots of cheese and meat helps the balance!

Better a pig than a gen A.I. user!

Patapon on Switch! I still song along to that beat years after my PSP has been shelved - instant purchase for me! So happy to have the little guys back!

I made a reference sheet for an upcoming Pokemon Tabletop Adventures campaign! You can find it here: chriskettlefrisby.itch.io/pta3-referen...

This morning I saw a snail on a great journey.

A friend of mine mentioned that old coins make a great base for miniatures - and they were right! The first of two batches done and ready for session 1 of #PTA3 (Pokémon Tabletop Adventures)

The British and the French clash over a powerful, ancient relic in Egypt! I was invited by some friends to try #SilverBayonet and had a whale of a time - we had to find the Eye of Anubis whilst peppering each other with muskets, and it wasn't long before the ancient temple guardians joined in too!

A jumble of miniatures for an upcoming Pokémon TTRPG using the Pokémon Tabletop Adventures 3 ruleset by @drmrstark.bsky.social ! I'm putting together a double battle gym system with dual types, which have been very satisfying to plan, and of course Team Rocket will be up to something.

This was a fantastic run! Wheels obviously slipping on banana skins for an extra boost of luck! I've started through Frost Fatales 2025 - lots of excellent runners and games in there!

I saw the new Toughness commander deck and jumped immediately - but apparently it doesn't include Doran! I forsee a little deck switcheroo in April...! #mtg #MTGTarkir

A friend of mine is planning a #1bit RPG, and is kickstarting it right now! There are still some tiers that allow you to design a boss and design an NPC - and it'll be good, all of his work is!

Two proxies I made for trying out some early EDH decks! I really like Doc Ock as a card already #mtg #spiderman

I am still determined to be a Bug Catcher - a SUCCESSFUL Bug Catcher - on Pokémon Pocket! Getting this guy out and taking down the meta EX decks (with support from Shaymin and Butterfree as healers) is a challenge, but I enjoy it.

Wonderful! Everything that was sweet and satisfying about Advance Wars but with a great board game aesthetic and DICE CLASHES!

Tamagotchi, in clay! #blender3d

I beat Ring of Pain last night! A great experience, very creepy aesthetic with just the right amount of loss and dread. The cryptic dialogue is spot on, giving enough without giving it all away. Highly recommend - and it's a roguelike card dungeon! Perfect.

This is an excellent collection of recommendations! I have fallen out with films for the past 10 years or so - this has given me the impetus to dive back in. I didn't realise that there was a YouTube indie film scene at all, but I really should not have been so surprised. Thank you Joshua!

I'm enjoying Squid Game 2. The atmosphere is set - we know what's coming, the dread and duality are expected. I've laughed more, the injection of more humour (at least where I'm up to) has made it more bitter and painful, a great boost to the themes of detachment, greed and dehumanisation.

Daemons of the Shadow Realm is excellent! Exploring interesting niches of folklore and spirits is brilliant, and lots of perfectly timed action and humour.

A little crocodile-turtle-dinosaur sketch I found when cleaning up this morning.

I'm a moderate on the issue of cars, I don't think they should be banned but I do think they should all be this. Now I know what you're thinking: what if I need to go fast or need more space? That's just too bad

Spotify Wrapped had a hard time with me - I had thousands of minutes but only in podcasts! It decided I liked the Pogues in the end. I have had a brilliant time with these this year, all excellent in their own way. @bcbparty.bsky.social is my newest favourite! Exceptional characters and plot!

A few bits done on #Blender3D so that there is some evidence of my 3D Modelling (and single perfect dog art) on here!

Ideals, curiosity, bravery, responsibility.

A great video from a wonderful mind. Short, sweet, heartbreaking.
