I'm most known as Leina, aka The North-East Recluse. I pretend to be a red panda online and blather on about videogames, mostly, but also other nerd stuff, furry stuff, and also the odd serious topic like UK politics, mental health and gender identity.

It’s never easy to talk about mental health.
I’ve been struggling a lot since November after a pretty big shakeup in my life. Paired with seasonal depression, it’s been difficult to get anything done. I’ll push through it.

rise of skywalker kicks over the sandbox and leaves you uninterested in star wars in a way the prequels never did
I feel comfortable saying Rise of Skywalker was the worst Star Wars because it is the only one I genuinely do not remember enough of it to offer a coherent explanation of the plot. I think a knife and Poe’s ex-wife were somehow involved.
I feel like the harshest condemnation I can offer Episode IX right now is the honest one. I have no idea who Pryde is or indeed if I simply forgot them or if they were fabricated on the internet right now

The whole "screen time" thing mostly comes from Boomers and older Gen X adults whose earliest and fondest memories absolutely involve sitting on the living room carpet watching shitty TV.
Just saw an ad that started out "your kids won't remember their best day of screen time" and while I of course broadly agree with the sentiment that you should do activities with your children, don't tell me i don't remember beating zelda a link to the past

it's almost like hollywood investors jumping into gaming around the late 00s had some kind of effect
instead of arguing subjective video game opinions or throwing around sales numbers, this feels like actual tangible evidence that we’ve been playing it too safe for the last 10 years
and that’s without mentioning the key art is definitely just a buncha people-looking people

The producers removed him from the show and he went on to star in The Rocky Horror Show so don't try and tell me cancel culture exists.
