Poster of random things that make me happy and or chuckle. Mostly video games, my dog, my farm, video gamez, animals, old cars, and other shite.

Caught him red handed sleeping on the job, and all HR had to say was "awww." 😤
Me, selling "cheap ram" online.

You, after recieving your ram.

Today's Irish weather forecast started with yer man going "Here's a picture of a blue sky... because you won't be seeing one any time soon." lol

Man, I'm glad we have indie devs making cool throwback racers. This has Sega rally vibes, but maybe not as flashy.

Good campaign, and license tests for the sickos. Plays well, a little simplistic mechanically but very fun. Looks great, sounds...okay.

(On sale on PS5 for another few hours)

If I was gen alpha instead of millennial, I would've gone 0.001 faster.

Men only want one thing, and it's for someone to comment on our old tools, so we can say "God, I must have that 20 years, AND it only cost me a tenner!!!"

True story.

Leon... in a Porsche? Feck outta here. That man drives a 1994 Ford Taurus and you can't convince me otherwise.

Immersion ruined!

Glad this wasn't my doctor.

4 days of power washing off the 4 decades worth of limewash on my milking parlour walls.

I hate limewash. I hate limestone. I hate Mother Earth for spawning this accursed stone!

Should look nice when painted at least. Fecking well better lol.

Here's everything I played this year.

Lowest amount of games I've played/beaten since 2012, which was the year after I'd messed up my hand.

Glad to see the back of 2025. Been looking after my parents throughout most of it (they're mostly better,) while also keeping the farm going alone.

Extra work to cover medical bills, and raising capital to make the farm more manageable for one person (got there, just.)

A quite 2026 would be nice.

Take the hassle out of changing your kid's bed sheets by blowing a bale of straw into their room.

Crazy how cheese is so good, we just decided plates weren't doing it justice.

With no field work atm, "last throw" means nothing to him anymore. 😮‍💨

Woah! It's like Silent Hill here today!

No, seriously. I had to run over several homicidal nurses. There are wheelchairs everywhere, and I had to do a piano puzzle to start the milking machine. Please help me!

Mad seeing such a clean sweep at the game awards, but well deserved, as Exp 33 really was just miles and miles ahead of anything else this year.

Leon looks like he just finished RE6 solo.
Leaked Resident Evil Requiem cover art confirms what we suspected all along - Leon Kennedy is indeed going to be a part of the game. https://bit.ly/4aD0G9m

Everybody is getting wrap ups, and here I am, wrapless. Devistating.
December 3, 2025 at 10:21 PM
Help me out, would Sonic Crossworlds be a pretty safe bet for a 10/11yo getting a PS5? Or, would Lego Party be a better option?

I already told the parents to get Astro bot, so I was thinking something with multiplayer for him and his younger sister.
November 18, 2025 at 9:52 PM
This. Exactly this. Make it optional. That's all you need to do, instead of forcing on it on everyone.
If designers really feel like they should have side characters backseat players though, I'm gonna have to ask that you carve that stuff out and create a toggle for it in the difficulty options. One of the worst things about God of War Ragnarok.

It's rare I get into multiplayer games. I normally actively dislike looter shooters, and basically never bothered with an extraction shooter... BUT, I can not stop playing Arc Raiders.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go find a cat bed for my rooster. You heard me!

This is why farmers get mad when people don't close the gates they open.

There goes my whole afternoon. 😤
