LOL at Hamnet's Best Original Score Oscar nomination. It reuses the composer's own music from previous work. What a joke.

Still some residue to remove and there are a couple of tears, but this is already looking much better.

Just saw a news presenter announce that they’re talking to Sophie Turner about the new Tomb Raider crime show.
Either Amazon are going in a wildly different direction or the presenter has never played a Tomb Raider game 😂

I started playing Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night on my PC last night with retro achievements and a funky CRT filter. Would I be right in thinking that save states for this wouldn't be cloud-based, so I won't be able to switch between the PC and Steam Deck?

Heard back from Evri. The driver simply couldn’t be bothered to deliver it last week so marked it down as delivered. I’ve just watched him throw it onto the porch and walk off. No knock, no doorbell. It’s stressed me out all week, but it’s finally here. Evri are the absolute worst.

Had a Robocop turn up late last night. He’s diecast so very weighty and has great presence. Love the paint job on him, although he’s freaking Doc and Marty out 😂

Just seen a Firecrest!
It's the third time I've ever seen one. The second time this year and the second time one's been in my garden. I need to stay home more often!

Retro Gamer celebrates its 22nd birthday today. Big thanks to everyone who paved the way for my favourite-ever job.
The first issue of Retro Gamer with @martcarroll.bsky.social as editor went on sale on the 15th of January 2004, meaning it's our 22nd birthday today. Huzzah.

Imagine having a Pokemon-obsessed kid and they ask for this £600 Lego set as a birthday present.
