Kinda feel bad for the developers. Been playing for over an hour; despite having access, I hadn't played in the previous alpha phases (as it was pretty ropey). Still, honestly, the early start to #AshesofCreation is pretty.. okay. I mean, it's fine. Which, for an MMO these days, is.. good?

The enshitification of AI has begun. #Gemini #AI

Octopath Traveler 0 is so much better than I thought it was going to be. Though it doesn't reach the peak of 2, I still think that this game deserves your attention if you like turn based JRPGs

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter is my personal GOTY, and I'm really disappointed to see it not be recognised at the #GameAwards. Unless it's an ATLUS or Square Enix title, most review outlets don't even bother to review JRPGs. Trails literally has an 88 on Metacritic with an audience score of 9.0

"Pending Investigation" has become the meme of 2025.

Intrepid should allow backers who paid a small fortune to gain access to the Alpha, the facility to link their Steam account to their #AshesOfCreation account without having to purchase the game again. If you support cross-play, you can support cross-purchase.

Goodbye windows Hello Bazzite! #xboxallyx

So I bought an #XboxAllyX and after spending literally hours applying updates, I'm actually annoyed at how bad windows xbox FSE is. It has to get better or I'm just going to install the first fully compatible build of SteamOS or Bazzite as soon as they're available

Finished Episode 1 & 2 of Dispatch and I'm enjoying it so much! My only complaint is that the episodes are too short.

In case you have forgotten, it’s Spring forward, fall back. #DaylightSavings

The long walk is 2 hours of intense anxiety. @markhamillofficial.bsky.social is brutal and brilliant. The story is pure and simple; the characters are complex and layered. It’s pure @stephenking.bsky.social and should not be missed. #TheLongWalk

We should all develop a habit to actively avoid interacting with videos that have a Sora watermark. There’s enough low effort slop on the internet already.

Yeah, I can’t wait for the remake. #TrailsinTheSky

Just started the final chapter in #TrailsInTheSky1stChapter and it’s not just my game of the year. It’s one of my favourite games of all time.

Donald Trump and how Putin sees him.

This is amazing...

My posts on twitter are 90% progressive politics and 10% gaming. The Muskgorithm decides that it needs to force feed me posts from Reform, Maga and slop streamers. Also, my posts are hugely suppressed when almost no reach. I really have myself to blame for thinking the ‘town hall’ still existed.

Imagine being so fervently against a political ideology that is fighting so you and your family don’t die, or lose everything you’ve ever worked for, just because you can’t afford healthcare. Mental.

So I’ve played #PokemonLegendsZA for about 3 hours and despite the complaints I’ve seen, I have to say that the game is a lot of fun. The battle system is super dynamic and though I’d love to see Game Freak add voice acting, I can see myself sinking quite a few hours into the game #Switch2 #Pokemon

Trump addressing the United Nations is like when Nazi Germany hosted the Olympics. World leaders should not, under any circumstances, entertain fascism. They should have walked out when he was speaking.

My Game of the Year. #TrailsInTheSky excels on every metric. It’s pure joy.

A positive step forward in the #StopKillingGames initiative. The UK government has scheduled a debate on the issue for 3rd November.

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

I’m watching #Weapons and posting this to distract myself - because I’m utterly terrified and might either shit myself or have a mild heart attack.

If you find yourself getting angry at a stranger online; or being manipulated by an algorithm - switch off, play a video game, go for a run, smoke a cigar. It’s really not worth getting into online fights. I should know, I do it far too much, and I regret that.

WE HAVE A GUN PROBLEM IN AMERICA. FULL STOP.

HORRIBLE. SICKENING. UNACCEPTABLE. In a democracy we settle our differences with words, ideas & actions, not hatred, guns & violence. #ShameOnUS

Fuck this social network. Some of the people here are a disgrace. RIP Charlie Kirk. I stood against literally everything you stood for, but we literally beat the Nazi's so we could have difference of opinion without fear. No one deserves to lose their life under ANY circumstances.

Seriously, this goes far beyond left and right, difference of opinion should not result in a danger to a persons life. You don't have to agree with Charlie Kirk, but no one would wish him dead. America, you desperately need gun control.

If the story of episode 5 of #AlienEarth had been expanded into a movie, it would quite easily be the the third best Alien film. A triumph. 11/10

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is one of the best looking games I have ever played! I can't wait for parts 1 and 2 to come out in October.

I’m done with this fucking country.

The whole flag thing in the UK is utterly pathetic. You want to show patriotism? Join the forces and fight. Volunteer at a local charity. Clean up the canals and parks. Do some shopping for your elderly neighbour. People hoisting flags and spray painting roundabouts are not patriots.

I don’t remember the outrage when #Persona5 came out. I mean this game is WOKE AF Perhaps it’s because ‘woke’ is a political manipulation tool that only works on the weak minded.

Ready to take on the second palace

The leader of the free world, everybody.

I swear I will complete #Persona5 before Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter comes out next month. #JRPG #Atlus #BacklogBattle

Took the over 3.5 years, with consistency of training, but I hit my weight goal and got under 19% body fat! Of course; time for a new goal! #FitnessSky #GymSky

Is World of Warcraft about to be announced for Xbox?

Rising depression hits like a motherfucker.

Estelle in Trails in the Sky is quickly becoming my all time favourite JRPG character. #TrailsintheSky #JRPG

Found this cool painting of the #Expedition33 Dev Team in the game!

Editing again…

What I would like to see from tomorrow's Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase is actually to see a bunch of older Switch games getting Switch 2 patches. (Romancing Saga 2, Persona 5) I fully expect to see Metaphor ReFantazio come to Switch 2, along with Persona 3 Reload. #NintendoSwitch2 #NintendoDirect

I'm so glad that The Naked Gun is getting some great reviews. The trailer had me actually howling "Please take a chair" - This is the movie the world needs right now. Can't wait to see it Friday night.

Since I’m the guy that “never completes a video game” I’ve made a bet with my PT that I will finish this game in 2 weeks. #Expedition33

Weird how I had to prove my age to use BlueSky yesterday, and yet Twitter, which is full of porn, I haven't been asked. The main issue is that the #DigitalSafetyAct is poorly written, and poorly executed. Whereas I agree that online safety for children is incredibly important, this feels half baked

Praying for abs. Running for abs. Also, listening to the 90s boyband Five. #FitnessSky #GymSky

I’ve been playing Trails Through Daybreak and after 10 hours decided to put it down, not because I didn’t enjoy it, but because I think this series is going to be very special to me… so have begun Trails in the Sky and so far… OMG. I love it!
