Cozy cuddles with the oldest boy ♥️

Octopath Traveler 0 accidently fell into my basket. I'll call it an early birthday present to myself 😂

Installed new lighting into the shelving units :)

There's actually another cat under the blanket between my legs😂. I love this time of year, feel so cozy.

Visions of Mana has arrived!!

It feels quite surreal to see people playing a new Metroid Prime game after so many years. I won't be getting it until my birthday next week but I hope everyone is enjoying it!

Spotify wrapped! Never any doubt that Mayhem would take the top spot as it's a literal God Tier Album.

Well I'm happy with this :). Just want to add some more lights behind the consoles but it feels much cleaner now.

As I've got older I've come to appreciate money more. So if I can repurpose an existing unit into something else I will do! This was a cube unit that I'm now turning into a TV unit type thing for all my consoles.

Morning all. Day off today so think I'm gonna do some rearranging in the games room as I'm in a "declutter" phase.

My only Black Friday purchase! For a JRPG it's not a very long game but for £20 Im not going to complain!

This week I've been getting my pixel JRPG fix with Lunar: Eternal Blue. I have been enjoying it! It's definitely showing its age but it's still fun to play.

Omg those 4 episodes of stranger things. Absolutely incredible.

It's finally time to watch Stranger Things!!! I absolutely love this series so much.

Been up since 8am painting and now going to finally sit down and play some games. Not sure what though, I'm thinking I need to dive into my backlog list I made about a year ago, and pick one from there.

PS Plus Freebies for December! I nearly picked up Lego Horizon today as a I saw it for £12, glad I didn't!

🏆 Platinum ⭐116⭐ Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. A Castlevania game in all but name. Great soundtrack and castle to explore. RPG elements good but didn't like alchemy. Techniques also pointless. Still fun and worth a playthrough 🕑Time: 42hrs ⏩Playthroughs: 1 ⚔️Difficulty: 3/10 🌟 Rarity: 9.6%

So apart from learning the utterly abysmal and completely useless Techniques, that's all collectables finished!! Ran out of time for today so will finish the Final Boss tomorrow after work and then Bloodstained is finished :)

This has literally been my life for hours. Trying to grind enough money to buy all alchemy related stuff in Bloodstained. Once it's done though, it's onto the final boss and then the game is 100% complete!

There is once again, a cat in this picture.

Christmas tree is up and the living room feels extra cosy now.

Getting ready for Wicked: For Good on Friday! Truth be told, I begrudgingly went to see the first one at the cinema. But this time, I'm actually excited 😂

Good afternoon all! A cold miserable day but at least I'm in here and warm.

Why did I decide to deep clean the washing machine at 9:45pm and cause absolutely havoc. I've accidently got bleach all over the kitchen floor and over me. I HATE the smell of bleach 😭😭 I've gone to bed to get away from the smell 😂

Voting for The Game Awards is live! And for me, there's only one choice. thegameawards.com

Time to actually make progress in Pokémon Legends Z-A! My whole team has Mega's new to this game and are also all Shiny. It's took many hours but it's so satisfying to see.

🏆 Platinum ⭐115⭐ Sonic Racing CrossWorlds The BEST Sonic Racing game ever made. So much content, tight gameplay and an outstanding soundtrack. Only downsides are the ticket grind to unlock things and the unvoiced DLC characters. 🕑Time: 78 hours ⏩Playthroughs: 3+ ⚔️Difficulty: 6/10 🌟 Rarity: 0.7%

Finally got a Desk mat and also a new Steam Deck case.

Okay I never buy figures off Temu but for £4.50 I'm really happy with this Aerith Figure. If it was Square enix it would be £99 🤣

Morning cuddles before work. 10 years old but will always be my little baby 💙

Well I must say, I love the look of all of this! Could it finally convert me fully to PC gaming I wonder... youtu.be/OmKrKTwtukE?...

I really liked that state of play! Alot there I'm interested in and also most of it isn't very far away at all! Other than my usual staples of Octopath & Dragon quest, it's pretty much sold Fatal frame 2 and the Broke Lore trilogy to me. Even the PAC-man/Sonic crossover looked great 😂

How on earth did I miss that there's a state of play tonight? And based on games from Japan and Asia? I am there!! (10pm UK time)

I FINALLY have my shiny Hawlucha after what feels like an eternity! Literally tried every single spawn location, every trick, AFK methods you name it. I was about to give up when he finally appeared 🥹🥹 my shiny hunt has finished for now I think, really must get on with the story.

I've had a wonderful 9 days off, the most relaxing, stress free time off I've had in a number of years. Gaming wise I platinumed Silent Hill f, Played ALOT of Pokémon and got no end of shiny's, did all content in Sonic Racing CrossWorlds. 8 days until I found out if I'm made redundant or not!

Another festival complete in Sonic Racing CrossWorlds! It's such a shame the free DLC characters don't have voiced lines or unique stages. I think SpongeBob is the next festival.

3 days I have been grinding for a shiny Hawlucha. 3. Miserable. Days.

Sometimes I'll stop playing a game for what feels like a few weeks. Then randomly I'll go to play said game and turns out it's been 4 months 😂. Sorry Bloodstained. 🤐

It's been a relatively good week for shiny hunting in Pokémon Z-A! Some nice surprises too such as Cleffa & Mawile. Unfortunately the two I wanted most, Hawlucha & Lucario, are determined to not appear. Today I'm aiming for Inkay and Litwick

The new PS Portal update launched today, allowing you to stream PS5 games that you have in your library without connecting to the console. Gave Rebirth a try as it's one of the most graphically demanding games I have, and it runs well! Seems to run at a near stable 60fps with no sound stutter.

Afternoon all! Productive day so far I've cleared all Time Trials in Sonic Racing CrossWorlds. I'm not usually a time trial fan but these were alot of fun! Now going to do the Mirror Mode Grand Prix then thats all modes complete!

Every Pokémon in the area I'm "grinding" has turned shiny except the one I want. 😭 Hawlucha why do you evade me so!

Finally!! blog.playstation.com/2025/11/05/c...

Steam Deck now supports display-off low-power download mode steamcommunity.com/games/167520...

I may have just been out to buy a turbo controller for the bench reset trick in Pokémon Z-A. But least I can play something else while it's doing it 😬

6 hours deep and no Riolu I did however get a Shiny Budew and & Espurr.

This is my life until I see a Super Saiyan Riolu.

Went back to get the shiny Dratini and found an Alpha Shiny Flabebe right next to it! Yay!

Morning jobs done and now time for Pokémon!!! Actually proceeding with the story for a change. I've been distracted trying to find shiny versions of my "Dream Team", but a few of the ones I want aren't available until the later Wild Zones.

Just discovered the English voice actor for Hinako is the same as Yuffie from FF7 Remake/Rebirth, Suzie Yeung. No wonder it's so good!! Also ashamed of myself for not recognising it sooner 😂
