I mostly post about video games and Eurovision. My dream is to become an indie game developer (the plan is set!)
#TheGameAwards nominees are out! Death Stranding 2 is in my top 10 games of all time, so it's no surprise it's my GOTY by far. I'm in the middle of playing E33, but I think it will end up in my top 5 of the year. Awesome that BALL X PIT was nominated for indie GOTY I really liked that one too!

Just finished Little Rocket Lab. As someone who liked the IDEA of Factorio more than actually playing it, LRL was a more accessible version packaged into a cute cozy format! My top 5 games of the year is going to be hard to pick 😭

I just finished "When to Jump" by Mike Lewis. A bit of survivorship bias at play with the stories, so keep that in mind! But as someone who is going to jump to give full time game dev a go in the next few months, it was a sanity check. I feel like I'm actually ready now, which is scary but exciting!

I think my husband spoke the Deus Ex remaster into existence 😅 he was just mentioning last week he was thinking of doing a replay and then it was announced yesterday. I've never played so I'm excited to give it a go when it comes out next year!

I'm glad I didn't hear about Discounty until I tried the demo during the latest Next Fest. It's been brutal enough waiting since June to play the full game 😅

Hyped for the Rollercoaster Tycoon speedrun on #SGDQ2025. Simulation games are one of my favorite genres and RCT was one of the first ones I played as a kid 😊

Somehow I missed Death Stranding 2 is a PS5 exclusive?? My husband and I are going to have to figure out a custody schedule to ensure equal time 😅

FINALLY! I normally don't play Early Access but I will make an exception for Paralives. Been following the development since the beginning in 2019. The trailer looks so good!

The #Eurovision results were STRESSFUL to say the least. ZERO points to Switzerland?!? Congratulations to Austria though!

Gearing up for the #Eurovision 2025 grand final! The one nice part about being in the US is that it's at 3pm instead of super late into the night 😅. I think it's going to be either Sweden, Finland, or Switzerland winning this year, but honestly it's SO open, maybe my fav Lithuania can take it! TAVO!

#Eurovision semi final 2 was way better than the first one 😅 Lost Australia but Lithuania and Latvia made it through so I'm happy!

Just caught up on the semi final 1 of #Eurovision, gutted for Cyprus and Belgium! My spouse's favorite song was Croatia so we're feeling sad about that one too. Hopefully semi final 2 will be nicer to my favs!

Now that all the Eurovision songs are released, I can start creating my top, I think it will move around a bit before May. Compared to 2024, the lineup is a bit weaker for me, but not as bad as some people are making it out to be 🤷 I'm enjoying the variety!

Sorry never got the Zitti E Buoni love especially in a strong year like 2021. Happy for their success after the contest though! #esc250
