I'm a veteran male gamer from the UK. My RPG playing goes way back past Baldur's Gate, to student D&D. On BSN and Xbox as SofaJockey. Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Horizon, Fallout, Last of Us, God of War, Hitman, Death Stranding, Day's Gone & Assassin's Creed.
Fable

I like that you can play as a character that authentically recreates a character from the old Fable series.

That's what I'll be doing.

Enjoying the 10-year-old game Mafia III.

For an open world romp where you tackle thugs, drug dealers, corrupt law enforcement, bigoted media influencers, bought judges, white supremacists and unhinged politicians, it ticks a lot of boxes and gives sobering insight into the late 1960's. 🫢

If your game offers my character the option to change outfit, don't show only the default costume in cutscenes.

Do it properly or don't do it. 🫤

And I'm done with #Anthem game.
Played in the closed Alpha pre-launch.
Just went for a fly around the world before shutdown.

So much potential, so much excellence, so many issues.

Ahead of Anthem game's shutdown, the Neill Blomkamp trailer remains a stunning 'what?' and 'why?' moment, but nevertheless it's a wonderful if pointless thing. 🤔

Redacting documents is tricky. If something is lightly redacted then context will often reveal it. Beyond that, blacking out everything smacks of cover up.

Happy #N7Day. 😀

The best halloween costume I ever had was a full grim reaper costume. Accompanying my daughters & other kids I had practiced a gliding walk and would stand stock still at the end of each drive with my scythe while the kids filled up.

Apparently I scared the kids and was told never to do that again.

We're close to #N7Day 2025 (November) for fans of #MassEffect.

This will be the 14th #N7Day which started in 2016.

It's also close to the 18th anniversary of the first Mass Effect on November 20th.

This article explains what happened on the last 13 N7 Days...

Further to a #StarTrek discussion. If you watched the Next Generation, which 100 episodes could you watch as a new or old viewer cutting out filler episodes? Trimmed by IMDb ratings with a handful added for plot. My suggestions. (seasons 1-4) 1/2
October 29, 2025 at 6:56 AM
I was idly discussing classic #StarTrek and suggested that it would be better for a new viewer to only watch the best 50 (skipping 30 filler episodes) than plough on through the whole lot.
Having trimmed by IMDb ratings, I think it's also a solid list for a rewatch.. 🤔 (Mudds W. included for plot).

The thing I'd like YouTube to do is add is a checkbox that removes all the AI slop that's strangling my feed.

That would be nice.

@sjosz.bsky.social Congrats. It's turning out to be one hell of a ride... 😃

Darn, I usually buy Xbox versions of multi-platform games (I have both consoles).

But with Xbox's brand looking shaky, I cancelled * 007 First Light and will go with the PS version. **

* very easy as they don't charge until launch.
** much closer to launch because they do charge immediately.

Interesting to see the #GoldenJoysticks nominations drop. Got my votes in.

I find they usually go a little too early in the season, but I guess that's so they don't get obscured.

Went with Death Stranding 2 for my GOTY and Erika Ishii for best actor in Ghost of Yōtei.

& 'most wanted'? Witcher 4.

Ghost of Yōtei drops.
I will be discussing it,
only in Haiku. ☺️

My parents were liberated from internment camps in 1945 by ANTIFA (the allied forces).

Politics is complicated and has nuance.

But I owe my literal existence to anti fascist soldiers.

I've mounted my new kitchen clock above the door.
I'm very happy with it.
