So I tried out the Virtual Boy Cardboard for a wee spin this morning. Super impressive tech and the 3D effect is really cool. However what is going on with that golf game with the little dot flying everywhere on the ball before you hit it?

Absolutely chaotic!

Dear Hamster or Playstation,

Please do me a solid and get this game on the console archive or classics range on PS Plus.

Note I will be the only customer but don't worry about that

After being inspired by the Winter Olympics this year and the Console Archives release of Cool Boarders I thought I would try the PS Classic Version on PS5.

Yep same ole experience for me constantly falling over and barely doing any tricks 😂.

Think I will defo play some more though. Love the vibe

Playing the Monster Hunter Stories 3 demo and this might just be one of the most visually stunning games I've ever laid my eyes on. It looks bloody terrific. Just standing near the castle watching the world go by.

Played the #Pragmata demo on #Playstation5 and wow! This right here is a game. Absolutely loved it and can't wait for the full version. All those people saying you need to try the combat to understand are correct. It is so fluid, snappy and fulfilling. Very hyped now for the game.

I love the look of this game so much and the vibe but it being a co-op game just kills it dead.

Also did anyone else think this new trailer almost made it look like an anime reskin of It Takes Two?

I cannot see another trailer for Resident Evil 9. I am so done with my eyeballs and brain having to endure it. I get it's hyped but I do not give a shit anymore 😭

I think I am now at the stage with the #ChainsawMan manga that I am reading it just for the sake of it ending. Really think this entire second story has been a bust. Not very interesting, confusing panels and way too many characters.

It has just been an utter slog to get through

Another game I've spent a wee bit time on is #2XKO and overall I would say it is a bit bland. Presentation is basic, the fights feel a bit soulless as I don't think the sound effects really pop or make impact. There might be music in there but none I remember. Anyway already deleted.

Found a new annoyance in office work....you send someone an email that has a lot in it and you expect some form of answer and all they do is react to it with a thumbs up. Save the emoji reactions for Teams, Email is the real shit dawg for real answers.

I have managed to play a fair bit of #ArkknightsEndfield over the last few days and generally I think it is pretty cool but I am not digging the factory/production aspect. Maybe it will grow on me but I just find it to be busy work and a hassle

I read a few things about the Beckham implosion and now Facebook reels is like do you want to see videos from all the different Spice Girls? The answer is no. No I do not.

Well I think I am definitely done with the Assassins Creed series now and any other utter shite Ubisoft decides to plop out of its AI enriched anal gland
Ubi cancelled those games to help them become an AI slophouse btw. (today's press release details their investment in 'player-facing Generative AI')

So I am going to do one of those living threads keeping a note of all the games I finished in 2026. So my goal/ambition is to play through more on my backlog or older games.....

My bold prediction - doesn't matter what they do as it will be reacted to negatively. They had their shine & flowers but the cogs of the media and online fans will want their scalp now.
Outside of the combat, what do you want and expect for the next Sandfall RPG?

Started playing #PokemonZA the other night and I don't get the hate.....within the first hour you can fist bump a Totodile.

Pure peak cinema action.
