Happy New Year everyone!

It’s that time of year again, Merrill Christmas to all the Dragon Age fans!

Video game recommendation of the week: DEEP DIVING ADVENTURES Explore beautiful bays and coral reefs, find shells and treasures to sell while also removing pollution and healing the fish. Watch out for sharks and stingrays, and keep an eye on your oxygen tank!

Sharing again in honour of Dragon Age Day!

Oh no I missed the FFXV anniversary! Here have a bunch of old cosplay pics to make up for it :)

Video game recommendation of the week: UNTITLED GOOSE GAME Honk! Adventures and Honk! Create mayhem Honk! As you play as a goose. Honk honk! Steal stuff, trip people, and of course… HONK! A silly cozy little game with great music. Is that your sandwich? Not any more - HONK!

Any fellow Kupocon attendees among my followers? I’m finally starting to plan my cosplay for February!

Video game recommendation of the week: STRAY It’s a beautiful game where you play as a cat in a futuristic quarantine city inhabited by robots and vermin. You can meow whenever you want and also create some chaos! The main story is very emotional and I loved every minute of it.

I was honestly expecting Blue Prince in the list of nominees for GOTY.

Video game recommendation of the week: Tales of the Shire You’re a hobbit (character creator a bit limited but ok) moving to a new village. Get to know neighbours, forage for ingredients, fishing, decorate your home, garden/farm crops, cook amazing meals and invite everyone!

Happy anniversary to Dragon Age: The Veilguard! Here’s a sample of my cosplay from the first 3 games. Hopefully there will be some new ones soon…

Any other DA-TV peeps out there smooching Davrin but still making time to give Assan all the pets and scritches?

Birthday selfie! 🎂 🎈 🍻 🎁 🎉

I accidentally rolled over some bubble wrap with my chair. Then I did it 4 more times just for fun 😂 gotta enjoy the little things!

Anyone else tried Circus Electrique? Deck building, turn based combat, circus management… certainly something new for me!

Bluesky is now the only place I can consume news and entertainment without being bombarded with ads and misinformation. Any good wholesome video game fan artists I should be following? NSFW acceptable, bigotry not.

Anyone who likes Blue Prince for the story, lore, mystery and puzzles but dislikes the room drafting: try Inheritance of Crimson Manor! Or for a real life physical mystery, try Manor Of The Damned monthly mystery box from Chilling Screams.

Video game recommendation of the week: MY TIME AT SANDROCK. The second in the My Time series, the first being Portia and the third has been announced as Evershine. Exploring, mining, building, crafting, socialising… a lot of freedom in this cute and cozy open world with cowboy vibes!

Anyone else playing Blue Prince? Wow the puzzles are hard! So much fun though :) anyone want to show me your floor plans? I’ll show you mine if you show me yours! Now free on PS+ if anyone wants to try, a recent day 1 release they added. I highly recommend it.

Absolutely heartbreaking every time I hear about more of the cruelty the government is putting disabled people through.

Charity craft-a-thon well underway! I think I’ll confine all the photos of crafted items to one thread. Don’t forget to donate! www.justgiving.com/fundraising/...

New game daaaaaaay! Preorder was sitting there downloaded with the countdown going and now I finally get to play 😁

I’m loving this game! #InfinityNikki

Infinity Nikki is my new guilty pleasure! It’s like a cross between Dragon Quest XI, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Final Fantasy X-2. But cozy. So much dressing up and cute animals!😁

I’ve started an indoor garden and so far it seems to be successful!

Video game recommendation of the week: Stories Untold 4 mini stories with spooky atmosphere and psychological twist that have an overarching theme. Clues, exploration and puzzles, realistic and text based adventures, exciting/scary/emotional parts. Gripping story, gotta pay attention to details!

Already planned my March craft-a-thon. To win one of the items just make any donation and dm me screenshot proof to enter the prize draw. I’ll choose multiple winners and you can pick which item, just pay postage. Check alt text if you can’t read my handwriting! www.justgiving.com/fundraising/...

Already taking donations for my charity craft-a-thon that will take place throughout March! www.justgiving.com/fundraising/...

Video game recommendation of the week: Inheritance of Crimson Manor So many puzzles to solve in an abandoned mansion, figure out the twisted story from lost letters and photos. Hidden rooms, secret clues, engraved keys… like the original resident evil mansion but without any monsters lol

I’ll be doing a charity craft-a-thon throughout March to raise money for arthritis research. Sponsor me to make a new item each day plus you can bid to keep what I make. Could be scented soap, jewellery, quilted bag, amigurumi, etc. JustGiving page coming soon…

Video game recommendation of the week: Eastshade You’re a landscape painter on a beautiful island in this RPG. Fulfil quests for the animal inhabitants and explore, from open meadows to reed filled swamps to caves of ice. Super chill with crafting, painting and even hot air balloon rides!

There’s something about pixelated video games that make me warm and fuzzy. So much nostalgia! (Yes I’m old, older than Sonic, older than text messages, older than PlayStation). I loved playing games like Trap Door, Flintstones, Dizzy and Mission Impossible but yikes those loading screens were loud 😂

Video game recommendation of the week: QUEST FOR INFAMY Choose your class and venture forth! Retro point-and-click vibes, turn based combat, lots of puzzles to solve and hilarious dialogue. Some of the puns will make you groan, others will leave you rolling on the floor!

Always frightening to see the damage natural disasters can do. I’m going to make a belated New Year’s resolution to grow some more green stuff that’ll help reduce CO2 levels.

Sold my last Dragon Age inspired piece of jewellery on Etsy just before Christmas, but I think I need to play Veilguard a few more times before I can design jewellery inspired by the characters. Just gonna restock some Fenris chokers for now…

Am I playing Skyrim again? Yes. Yes I am. Gotta get the platinum trophy for the PS5 version!

Video game recommendation of the week: FABLEDOM Technically a city builder, but more of a village/town and set in a medieval fantasy novel. There’s fairytale quests, attempting to woo other leaders, and of course keeping your villagers happy! Really cute, slow paced and fun.

Merrill Christmas to all you Dragon Age peeps!

Video game recommendation of the week: SUBNAUTICA It’s an underwater survival game with stunning environments, an unexpected yet amazing story, and a new twist around every coral dappled corner! A seriously beautiful alien world on which to crash land. Beware of leviathans…

I had the whole plan to make all kinds of handmade Christmas decorations this year but it just never happened. So here I am with sheets of white paper making paper chains and cutting out snowflakes to stick on the window. That still counts, right? 😅

Video game recommendation of the week: STRAY It’s a beautiful game where you play as a cat in a quarantined city inhabited by robots and vermin. You can meow whenever you want and also create some chaos! The main story invokes lots of emotion and I loved every minute of it.

Another charity blanket! I managed to use all my leftover yearn in this one. It’s super thick and snuggly and will be added to the Christmas donations, a local organisation collects gifts for vulnerable people so I hope this can put a smile on someone’s face :)

Video game recommendation of the week: INSCRYPTION Play it! A rogue like, escape room, 4th wall breaking, crazy hacker card game with souls like elements. I’m being serious. It’s creepy, it’s got an amazing story, there’s so much lore to uncover… such a good indie game. Amazing and unexpected.

DFS ftw, in time for Xmas! It’s amazing the difference a decent sofa can make when you’re disabled. I no longer struggle to get up and hopefully it won’t have a negative impact on my damaged spine like the last one because it has better support. Expensive but worth saving up my PIP for it this year!

I finally got the platinum trophy on PS5 for Stranger of Paradise after completing the main story last week. Definitely different from proper Final Fantasy games (shorter, darker, less characters, no summons) but I did squeal with excitement in the final cutscene!

Video game recommendation of the week: DREDGE It’s a Lovecraftian fishing game. Lots of side quests, exploration and a lovely main story. It’s pretty chill… until the monsters come out!

Happy Dragon Age Veilguard day!

A customer bought the last of an item 2 years ago and asked me to let them know when they’re back in stock. Next week I’m planning on adding more stock but is 2 years too long? Should I still message them?…

I’ve started listing things in my Etsy shop, a few extra things each day (keeping it random!) there’s Dragon Age inspired stuff, LGBTQ+ pride stuff, cute things, fashion things, spoopy things (because spooks aren’t just for Halloween!) and D&D stuff. Check it out! www.etsy.com/shop/geekyneeky

Firmly stuck in the Dragon Age hype! Who’s with me?
