Sometimes the games you enjoy working on most are the ones you least expect!

Had so much fun over the last few months working out how to get the Warframe engine to make a classic “run and gun” shooter.

Well #poe2 early access seems to have stabilised a bit after a few patches. About 10 hours in now and absolutely loving it. D4 or this? Ask me again after I’ve got another 50 or 60 hours in this.

Hmmm, might have to leave #PoE2 early access until it’s a little more stable. Had two hard crashes so far loading into instances, needing me to power cycle the PC. Shame because loving what I’ve seen of the game so far.

Started to properly play through Dragon Age Veilguard last night. 3.5 hours in and I think I’m going to enjoy this. It’s definitely going to scratch that RPG itch 😀

Any early game hints/tips/things to get or avoid much appreciated.

“Officially” put Dad’s house up for sale on Monday. Accepted an offer on it today, Saturday.

Damn! That was quick.

Guess we better find a solicitor!
