Had my fingers firmly crossed that I might be able to pick up @benaaronovitch.bsky.social's newest at W.H. Smith at Heathrow. To my surprise they had pretty much all of the series. They unfortunately did not have Stone & Sky.
No new section... instead they had "Tiktok Made Me Buy It".

I picked up a Switch 2. It's been a while since I had a Switch to hand... Mario Kart was ignored for a three hour Banjo Tooie session.
I think I might have underestimated NSO.

Mint sauce is a very underrated condiment, and should be released from the prison of the one roast it is confined to.

Well it took me entirely too long but I think The Lost Crown was my game of the year. Some perfectly executed gameplay and story beats.
First game I beat end to end on GeForce Now too, which has very much changed how I’ll be handling my console purchases going forward.

It’s probably nostalgia goggles but I really did enjoy the first episode of Dexter: Original Sin. The back to basics format works for me and it’s nice to hang out with old characters.

You can tell it's been a bit of a hard year when it seems like a lot of new games are night-this and dark-land. Think we all need a bit of a break and probably a nap..

So is Skeleton Crew just Pirates of the Caribbean in space? If so, I'm good, this works.

I might be being daft.... Youtube Watch Later is a huge help for me in collecting videos, but also just getting Youtube to bring something back. But.
Cleaning out my Watch Later has now become a monthly ritual of clicking dots and then remove around 300 times. There's got to be a better way?

I've been a bit burnt out on Star Wars shows lately. Despite wanting to like Ashoka and The Acolyte, they just didn't click for me. I'm going to give Skeleton Crew a whirl since it sounds like something different.

I know we have all kinds of crazy and problematic uses of AI, but if they could just build something that says 'just buy these jeans, Ollie,' that would be great. It's always a headache.

Can we just take a moment to acknowledge what a ridiculous lineup of artists makes up this soundtrack? I actually don't think there could be a better equation for me.

Caught Saturday Night, funnily enough, last night. Really worth a watch if you are an SNL fan. But by the stand out was the soundtrack. If you are a sucker for the intro and credits music like me, this is oxygen: open.spotify.com/album/2U0xxg...

I was going to jump back in to Prince of Persia Lost Crown today, but I've lost my save from my Playstation and retreading feels like it still needs a couple of months.
So I guess we're going for the "good" ending of Dragon Age.

@kanaratron.bsky.social Bit of a niche question but will Mythwrecked be opted in to Geforce Now? On the fence on what platform to pick it up on.

Last year I went to Sri Lanka for Christmas. And one night staying at a little lodge in the middle of nowhere, the lodge owner explained that peacocks all have their own perches they go back to every night.
I really think there's a cozy, sunset based game in there somewhere.

I've been on the verge of picking up a Shadow PC for months. I used to run remote development on a PC, and I really need something similar for on the go. I just wish their were options... it seems Microsoft have abandoned the Game Dev VM which seemed like a viable option.

@danielmgauthier.bsky.social Hello! Just a quick one. I've been using Up Ahead as part of bipolar therapy. I was wondering whether I might be able to share some of my story and how it works with you? Could you drop me a DM?

I love Up Ahead. Got in on the Testflight and it's been a staple on my home screen. If you're looking for a lovely, lovely marker for things coming up, drop them a follow and a download.
Pro tip if you are someone who deals with depression this is great for having markers. Saved me a few times.

I’m giving away 30 Lifetime Up Ahead subscriptions as part of this #IndieSky initiative. Just a friendly nudge to get more folks active here! To enter, follow this account and either share or comment on this post. I’ll randomly select winners on Thursday. 🦋
A lot of indie apps are having a blast on Bluesky, and we'd love more of our friends and fans to join the party. So we came up with a fun idea: a giveaway! #IndieSky

This is a tale of two Apple TV Remotes.
The one on the left has USB-C, stays charged for longer but the directional buttons work maybe 2/3rds of the time.
The one on the right is the sole Lightning port in my house, dies in a week, but works perfectly.
Choose your slightly irritating fighter.

With all the great audio talent on here, I'm wondering if it's possible to build a proper native audio player. Would be nice to allow composers, designers and podcasts to be first class citizens without needing to use the video player.

After a couple of weeks of Dragon Age I can finally try something a little smaller, but probably deeper. Caught in the middle of Penny's Big Breakaway, Roki and Neva. Anyone have strong thoughts between them?
