Finished #Dispatch just now. An absolute gem of a game and one that's sold me on the idea of episodic gaming once again.

I love the game. I love the characters and I can't wait to see what the people at Adhoc come up with next.

If that's more Dispatch, then great. If not? Also great.

My FPL for the week. Not gettin' fancy.

I'm not sure what's worse. The #ALLCAPS special teams or the backup goalie.

They showed a lot of character coming back from 3-0 down, but holy fuck I think two of those goals are on Chucky; I've got no faith in him to make even rudimentary saves at this point.

What's Justin Peters doing?

Caps traded Dubois for a Dubya. Unsustainable.

Still, nice to see Ovi get that 900th goal. My captain!.

Dispatch coming out in episodes appears to have been a very good strategy for developer Adhoc Studio. Astounding numbers here. Episodic games often risk losing audience attention over time but 8 episodes across 4 weeks seems like the perfect cadence to keep players hooked and talking

Let's be honest here, if Begovic didn't make that save two minutes before the goal went in, we could have been looking at a #LCFC loss here.

I don't usually advocate getting rid of a manager this early into his tenure, but how is that possible against ten-men?
November 5, 2025 at 6:37 AM
Lol. Of course.

Hmm. We're winning...

Can't wait to watch #LCFC struggle to a 2-1 defeat tonight. M'on the Foxes.

Never. Get. Fancy.

I'd be eyeing up an 80pt weekend if I'd have followed the crowd and captained Haaland.

But nooOooOooo, I had to be different didn't I. Woltenmede. Fucking Woltenmede.
November 3, 2025 at 7:44 AM
Jeeeeeesus Christ. If there was anyone worth rage-tranfering Nick Woltenmede out for I would have taken the hit and done it.

45 minutes and he's off? Are you actually serious?
November 2, 2025 at 3:30 PM
If Haaland bags I'm cooked. I need Haaland to stay quiet and Woltenmede to score. That is all.

Oh no.
Going Enzo over Anderson and I cannot wait for it to blow up in my face.

I've finally sorted out #CloneHero on the Steamdeck and it's glorious. Now to add all the songs. And by songs I mean music that's exclusively from the band Oasis.

Early season results hid some obvious flaws I guess. An absolute shambles of a football club.

I'm not watching the game. How are we looking? #LCFC

The reasoning on the not-offside goal is that they didn't have conclusive evidence that it was offside?

Which is bad, because it would have been offside if the feed had given us an image one frame later.

Both puck and player were moving. Alas, in the next frame... he'd have been clearly offside?

What comes first?

An #AllCaps PP goal.

A Caps game where we don't lose a player to injury.

Or a Caps coaches challenge that actually goes in our favour?

We're inching towards *carrot in a box* season at an alarming rate.

The new game Dispatch, from former Telltale directors, is yet another 2025 indie banger. It's funny as heck, with top-notch writing and gorgeous art. I'm two episodes in and they're on par with Telltale's best work (aka: Tales from the Borderlands). And the cast, good lord!

The Seance Of Blake Manor is the most 'I'm going to adore this game, but now is really not the right time to play this' game I've played all year...

And I say that after trying and failing to get into Wuchang Fallen Feathers three times before it finally stuck.

I'll sleep when I'm dead....which is likely to brought on much sooner but I DON'T FUCKING SLEEP!

Poor discipline towards the end of the first, but that aside I thought Washington was the better teams for large portions of that game.

Flukey goal against and 3 shots coming back off the iron; them's the breaks.

Those penalties though. Rough

I've always had a soft spot for Spurs... until I started playing FPL.

Now fuck' em.
