Finally playing the new Hitman trilogy and it’s a rollercoaster of emotions.

Just seen the Southern Lights. They’re just like the Northern Lights except they don’t stop to say hello to you.

The way I squealed when Sand Kingdom turned up.
Much like with Sonic, now they've got the origin story out of the way, I am SO excited to see what they adapt.
And I'm already salivating at the thought of the Galaxy soundtrack getting the Hollywood treatment.

Booked our mini-honeymoon yesterday.
If the Spanish weather is kind, we’ll spend our first week as a married couple watching a total solar eclipse at sunset. 🙏

I just ran into a new (and impossible) security verification which I guess is being used to train AI, but what the hell.
For the record, the panda in overalls was NOT the correct answer, and the sheep with dots was ALSO not the correct answer.

At this point I’m just glad it won’t clash with my wedding.
Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed, for the second time, to 19 November 2026.
Take Two's CEO remarked that the delay would help provide time for "a "high level of polish," and "we feel quite good about this date.”
The delay comes amid the contentious firing of dozens of workers at Rockstar Games.

I’m terrified of getting on a jetski. That’s why I can never go to a Polish airport.
