I'm flitting between games at the moment. Loving Marathon, dipping into BF6 still, but pushing through Spider-Man 2 at pace. This series has one of the best #virtualphotography #photomode in any game. #vprepost #vpsupport #thecapturedcollective #thephotomode

I feel you, Hulk.

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. ♥️

I didn't exfil once.

Israel's genocide in Gaza has killed over 72,000 Palestinians. Now Palestinians in Gaza again face enforced hunger after Israel closed all crossings into Gaza, with humanitarian groups warning supplies will last only a few days. End the siege. Let food in.

After a few games and some setting tweaks I'm getting Marathon. The aesthetic is incredible and the guns feel fantastic. I would definitely need a group of people to play with though as teammates just seem to wander off in different directions. It has the possibility to pull me away from BF6.

Signed up for the new Dissidia game realising it's probably more like a Galaxy of Heroes than an actual Dissidia game. How do we get a proper Dissidia?

Feels like an age since I sat and watched a whole film, managing two in a week is unheard of. Predator Badlands was great, limited cast, good action, and excellent visuals A Quiet Place Part II built on the first film well, and Cillian Murphy can do no wrong, except for what he did at the docks.

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

I have a super soft spot for MGS4. It was so much more than the previous games, and had a sense of finality that I really enjoyed, matched incredibly by its music. Peace Walkers fucking ace too.

As promised, here’s the first part of the three part ‘mini-documentary’ I captured during a two-day visit to Thornbridge last October. Soon to be followed by a podcast and write up, also.

The world is shitty, so I'm hiding in 1900s Sicily. It's a beautiful land. #mafia #mafiatheodcountry #thephotomode #virtualphotography #vprepost #vpsupport

For No Reason in Particular Here’s a Bunch of Games Where You Kill Nazis

I miss Google Podcasts.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.

Hot take - Ted Talk coming soon Star Trek TNG is a comedy

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy. Enough to power 23 million homes! U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

No Players Online - the full version of the viral abandoned online FPS horror game - is back on Steam. 🎉 The game was falsely removed weeks ago, just after launching, which has severely impacted the studio's survivability. Please spread the word, and support it! ❤️ (No Players Online Steam page)

Still getting a lot of fun out of battlefield 6. Getting less and less time on it with some other releases, and other hobbies getting in the way recently, but it's very fun to drop in every few evenings.

This years advent calendar is a good one. Forgot just how sweet Milkybar chocolate is though.

Hong Kong fire and Grenfell are just alike. Fire spreading through unsafe building materials installed due to penny-pinching, killing dozens. One difference: before the HK fire is even out three executives at contractors have been arrested, eight years after Grenfell no-one has been arrested.

As a PS Plus Premium subscriber I'm a little disappointed that these discounts target new and upgrading users. Same as last year I'll just be looking for discounted gift cards to add for a similar effect.

Le Plan Spectral Demo: You, a dead architect, have the role of building castles to house ghosts and restore balance to the world of the living. samson-auroux.itch.io/le-plan-spec... by @samson_auroux

The new Old World Maurader models look fucking sick, a huge upgrade to the decades old models. I wasn't considering adding Darkoath to my S2D army but would definitely use these rugged badasses.

I've been drinking plenty of @lostandgrounded.bsky.social over the last few weeks, including this years Octoberfest bier on last nights recording of Tanked Up, & this lovely black lager (which I drank on the podcast a few weeks back). I need more black lagers in my life. #craftbeer #drinklocal #beer

I'm itching for the BF6 release next week. So much I edited my podcast chat about the beta over some footage I captured. Come and watch and talk to me about it. youtu.be/syfaW6tSauA?...

This is grim & dangerous over reach. This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent. Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.

This happened last night and I hadn't heard about it until this post, so went to the BBC News homepage. You have to go all the way down the page, below recipes for 30 minute meals, and you find it as a text link in 'politics'.

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

The S2D are coming on well, but all this bronze and purple is such a long process. Karkadrak Lord, Eternus, and a warrior unit pretty much finished. Just the remaining 1200 points to paint. #paintingwarhammer #ageofsigmar #warhammercommunity #chaos

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

UTD are so frustrating. I don't know if it's fitness or desire but they can be so static for big passages of play. Decision making is also such an issue. The front three are exciting but need so much more back up. Brentford well deserving of the lead right now.

I love a good campaign. I can't wait to get started in this and hone my skills before jumping into multiplayer. #battlefield6

Housemarque's modern shmup style, mixed with the atmosphere of Doom, and touches of The Order 1886! Fuck yeah!

How Do You Do, Fellow Kids - Tanked Up 446 Discussing and reviewing Easy Delivery Co from @sweaters.bsky.social, Full Circle and EA's new iteration of Skate, and Poco from Whalefall. With beers from @northernmonk.bsky.social & Below Brew Co. www.outoflives.net/2025/09/23/h...

Time for the last episode of Alien Earth. Enjoyed it so far, let's see if the ending is as the wife and I predicted last week.

I like this idea. A real world reward for achieving something in a game. But the cost of these is too premium for me, although I really like that T-shirt

Yesterday the UN declared that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Today Keir Starmer rolls out the red carpet for Trump - Israel's biggest ally and a cheerleader for its atrocities. Shameful.

Stop selling arms to Israel then.

Having searched across BS for more #craftbeer breweries and people to follow, I thought I'd make a starter kit to make it easier for everyone. Open to adding as many people as possible to spread the good word. go.bsky.app/KLQVNRr

Can anyone explain why the Government is still doing most of its communications through a website whose owner is now openly rallying the far right to trigger a violent insurrection on our streets?

I haven't been to the cinema in years but I think I'll take myself off for the afternoon to watch Tron Ares. Love this "Legecy" trailer touching on the previous films. youtu.be/W_bVkV1gbCA?...

I did it. I finished Death Stranding 2. A bonkers ending with a few touching, fleeting moments. I wish I could experience it all again. #deathstranding2 #virtualphotography #vgpunite #VGPNetwork #VPRT #vprepost #vpsupport #thephotomode #psshare #psblog #photomode

Keir Starmer just appointed Tim Allan, a board member of the anti trans hate group, Sex Matters, to be his new communications director.

Fuck it. Flying solo down to the East Bristol brewery trail. Will bowl down to @goodchembrew.bsky.social and see what's cracking.

Still thinking about Battlefield 6 a week on from the beta. Those weekends have made me really excited for it. As Battlefield 1 did, I'm sure it'll dominate the rest of my gaming conversation this year. It's already taken up my chat on two episodes of Tanked Up.

Trans people were this site’s early adopters and continue to be a huge part of it. J.K. Rowling won’t ever show up here because there aren’t enough nazis to applaud her. Coddling the miserable little cretin’s fee-fees on this platform is a pathetic thing to do.
