I both love, and hate, the new Silverstone FLP02 case.

Cat on floor. Threw blanket on her for lols. Happy cat.

I've been trying to express how good the music in South of Midnight is and I think I've mostly failed. It's really quite good but let me try this; if you are one of the few people who thinks Disney's The Princess And The Frog is great, South of Midnight is a video game just for you.

Demolition Man has Brooklyn 99's Sully in it. So young.

Holy shit I forgot Sandra Bullock was in Demolition Man.

Merry not-2025

Oh hey I know that guy!

I was at a bar/club/event space with Henry Rollins. I didn't know he was there. Apparently neither did anyone else because I heard later (the event organiser was a friend of a friend) that he was kinda pissed no-one recognised him.

Wrapped South of Midnight. Same opinion on combat, it's kinda just there to be like "see? This is game". But the story, and the stories within, the folklore, the stories and traumas of the game's characters are great (usually heartbreaking). And the music is... just about the best thing ever.

SOUTH OF MIDNIGHT IS GORGEOUS. I met Catfish. I could take or leave the combat but I adore everything else about this game.

Wrapped Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, and goddamn, what a performance. While I can't say anything to the accuracy of its representation of psychosis, I did watch the little making-of doco and it seems to have been handled with the most care, to the satisfaction of those who matter. Brilliant.

Sorry - next time I’ll say Elon Cunt

Tis the season! So I thought I'd sit down with some nice, chill, fun-filled game. Naturally I fired up Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. Goddamn, what a brilliant piece of game design. Everything is kind of amazing, but the audio is what is blowing my mind the most. Those multidirectional whispers!

My mum doing too much as usual.

Using a Mac. Suddenly noticed something I'd never noticed before. The chassis was vibrating when I touched it. What did I change? I'd just plugged in my phone, was my phone vibrating? No. Unplugged, still happening, so what could it have been? I just took my shoes off, but that's STUPID.

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

So I can't play the game I own, that I bought, on two devices at once? I think probably never buy anything Nintendo from here on out. Dafuq is this shit.

First two posts on my timeline be like

Not sure who needs to know this but the weird detective game Paradise Killer is free on Epic right now. It has the worst first person movement of any game I've ever played, and it does that narrative thing where is says made up words like it expects you to know them, but it's a neat detective game.

My first Viscous game. Viscous is BROKEN.

Okay I see why people play haze, and why I hate playing against haze.

The holiday challenge is a lot of fun. I'm playing characters I NEVER play, and yeah I'm getting mixed results, but it's kind of amazing how broken some of them are. Abrams and Mirage for example, easy wins despite having no build and no clue. Geist was fun too.

I unironically want to see Pud Legacy. I can't tell if it's real. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA8B...

I am more gamer than you

Finally did Long Banh Mi. Pretty tasty, but if I'm honest, they could be longer.

Bruh I can't even *afford* the bait

For "teh lulz" i tried to log in to ffxiv. it failed every time. It's like: hey bro, don't play me, I'm bad

"It went away?? 'I dwell in darkness without you' and IT WENT AWAY??!"

*watching willow* "They need to go to the Daikini crossroads" "What's that?" "Well the Nelwyn are the little people, and the Daikini are the bigger people, they need to go to their crossroads" "So I'm a zucchini person?"

Like I needed the excuse

One gift covid gave us was the understanding that attending family Christmas events was frowned upon. Can we go back to that?

I never played the witness, and I thought this COMPLETELY FREE GAME was excellent and hilarious. Noir hint button was my fav guy.

Nah, my birthday’s tomorrow. :P

I am.

One of the costs of living that has spiked insanely over the years is chips. I order two large chips and it's 18 bucks. Back in the day if I had ordered 18 bucks of chips, the fish and chip shop would have shut down after the order because they wouldn't have had any chips for the rest of the evening

Man. Diablo 4 shadowdropped the paladin class. Like, right now. If you preorder the next expansion you can just be a paladin now. Two years of yelling, a season no-one cares about, and they do this. People literally can't buy the expansion right now and it's ASTONISHING it took this long to get here

You and Seamus are mindfucking me with this take

Music recap for the year. Looks about right.

I bought Horses. I don't know if I'll play it because I don't know if I want what will probably be a level of visceral disgust in my game time, but I've spent more, supporting worse things, and I think Steam is wrong regardless how I feel about the media in question.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

this has become a very important video to me
