Just watched a YouTube video on my phone
The whole thing was split up by mind-numbing slop adverts, then when the video ends and I go to read the comments, another slop advert plays
Annoyed, I went to do my Duolingo, only to get a pop-up re a collab with Genshin Impact
The modern internet sucks

I've gone back to #Stellaris to try a playthrough in a tiny galaxy, plus it's my first time as a gestalt consciousness!
I'm waiting for the upcoming patches to #BF6 before picking it up again; the current time-to-die experience is so frustrating that it's sapping the fun out of the game for me

After hearing about Zootropolis 2, I thought I'd finally watch the first one – it’s universally acclaimed, so why not give it a go?
It was, of course, an excellent film (go Shakira), but what struck me is this:
I thought it was a recent film, only a few years old at most
It came out in 2016

The SCW-10 is basically the RSC SMG from Battlefield 1:
• Extremely high damage at close range
• Still very good damage at medium range (rivalling ARs)
• Excellent handling
• Small magazine capacity to compensate
Easily my favourite gun in the game thus far

It kinda sucks that I feel the need to check that any new music I come across is real before I listen to it
There's AI slop around every corner

I've spent a fair few hours with #BF6 now, and my assessment of the multiplayer is more or less the same as for the open beta:
The game has a lot to offer and scratches that classic Battlefield itch, but the excessively fast TTK/TTD hinders every aspect of the game that I've experienced so far

Me and the wife have been watching season 7 of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, thinking it was an old season that we'd missed, only to find out that we've caught up and that the grand finale is next week

I may have stayed up till 01:30 playing Kerbal Space Program, but by Jeb it was worth it
I landed a Kerbal on Gilly for my first time ever and got him back with less than 300 m/s of delta-V to spare (nothing like aerobraking 60 km above Kerbin at ~3,500 m/s)
That brave, brave Kerbal

Battlefield 6 campaign: done!
I went into it with low expectations based on what I'd heard, but it was a perfectly fine campaign
Nothing groundbreaking, but it was varied enough to keep me engaged, plus I appreciated the references to previous Battlefield games
Now for multiplayer...

Just went to see Palestine 36
It tells the story of the 1936-39 Arab revolt from the perspective of relatable characters and on a small scale that makes it easy to grasp, all with sublime acting
Whether you know a little or a lot about the history, I strongly recommend that you watch this film

I ended up watching this video earlier to give me some ideas for Skyrim, since my current playthrough has ended up getting boring (using "meta" loadouts, taking on too many quests at once, etc.)
I think I'm finally going to bite the bullet and make an evil character...

This playthrough of Stellaris has been a blast
I've conquered a fallen empire, defeated the Contingency, conquered half the galaxy with my federation buddies and – just tonight – completed the archaeological project at Ultima Vigilis (I won't spoil it, but it's...eerie)

Some serious classics were played last night
Y&T's most famous albums are now over 40 years old, yet Dave Meniketti sounds better than ever
Great concert!
(It'd've been better without the cheap-looking genAI visuals, but I feel like I'm flogging a dead horse there)

I saw a post about Elder Kings 2
Interested, I looked into it, and it's an Elder Scrolls-themed mod for Crusader Kings III
Interested again, I watched an hour-long tutorial on CK3, which described it as one of the most complex strategy games ever made
So anyway, I've just re-downloaded Stellaris

In my first Skyrim playthrough on PC, I tried finishing the Civil War questline before touching the main questline, but the game doesn't let you
There is some unique dialogue and an appearance from Delphine, which is cool, but I'm already bored of it
Goodbye, Paaraasol
You were a good altmer

One thing that will always annoy me when playing GeoGrid (www.geogridgame.com) is that the USA is technically not considered as having a Caribbean coast
If you read the Wikipedia article on the Florida Keys, it says they're in between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic but not the Caribbean

I recently completed the latest No Man's Sky Expedition
I must say, going from a corvette back to my BC1 Radiant Pillar on my main saved game was quite a shock
I've found there's no point grinding for spaceship inventory slots – just get into automated mining, make billions and buy a better ship

• Eaten a nice curry
• Attended a friend's stag do
• Finished my latest Cities: Skylines city (>150k pops)
I should probably do something productive, but Skyrim is looking awfully tempting

It only took me a month, but I've finished Blood and Wine, and with it, my playthrough of The Witcher 3
I feel I got the bad ending, but nevertheless, this whole game has been fantastic – I can clearly see why it's considered one of the best of all time
Now, how long till I play it again...

If you're going to retcon the origin of the aliens, then at least make it good
This may be a hot take, but I think this new series is heavily overrated
Uninteresting premise, cookie-cutter characters and a total lack of suspense
