Hey.

I'm Dan. A 37 year old father of two who doesn't have nearly as much time as he needs to do half the things he wishes he had the time to do.

So I was playing #heartworm and I died. The game threw me back a solid 15 minutes aaaand that's the end of that.

Not a fault of the game, that's it's entirely 'thing' but I do not have that sort of time.

Spent an hour on Clone Hero instead.

#retrogaming and #knitting friends, I would love your opinion.

I’m going to make my own scarf design, the theme being 8 and 16 bit computers.

I was thinking of the following in order:

Atari logo with Pitfall Harry.

Sinclair ZX Spectrum logo with Miner Willy.

Commodore logo with ????? I was […]

Yeah. I'm very current. Here's my #spotifywrapped for 2025.

#oasis took over my life in like mid July. They're all I listen to now. Sorry, I guess? Maaaaaybe.

Anyway.

For a lil' context I've switched to Deezer so I've probably got another 1k listens.

Also I […]

Been a rough weekend. Spent most of yesterday at my families house for a xmas party.

Then today I had all the fun that normally comes from solo-parenting, but I also had to have a tooth-filling, and do the big Xmas shop.

Back to work tomorrow. Yay.

I've started the (more-trouble than it's worth) process of moving all of my gg.io stuff over to Backloggd.

Nothing against GG, it's been my only way of logging what #videogames I've played for like six years now, I just feel like work has stopped on it, and as such I want […]

I can't get into *anything* at the moment. My PS5 and Series X have been sat dormant for months and my Steamdeck has turned into a #clonehero machine.

I am spending a fair bit more time playing on the Anbernic though. I finished #supermarioland2 the other day, and had a blast whilst doing so […]

My 'I'm old' rant of the day:

Why are we using 'nothingburger' when 'Storm in a teacup' is so much more evocative?
December 21, 2025 at 6:46 AM
Playing through some #supermarioland2 right now.

Never played this one before, although I'm fairly sure I had it on my Gameboy when I was a kid.

As you'd expect from a game of it's era, it's fairly simple but it's got that mario charm and feel that's just so […]

In a desperate attempt to get my eldest to eat stuff that isn't breaded, I'm cooking her a fried egg.

This likely won't work. However, every cloud has a silver lining and I know *I* like fried eggs already so. Nom nom.

Someone needs to make a website that'll recommend a retro videogame to you based on a few simple questions.

* What Era
* What Genre

I really want to play a Bowling game. They don't make Bowling games anymore. I don't now which Bowling games are good, or what system they're on.

Days like today truly make me question my decision to bring children into the world.

I've been playing some #rhythmdoctor and I can't put my finger on it but the art style really rubs me up the wrong way.

I mean that with no disrespect to the guys who made it..I just think I'm done with the pixel-art thing.

#clairobscur cleaning up at last night's #thegameawards isn't a shock at all, but I'm still pleased to see it.

Rarely does a game come out of nowhere and completely dominate the conversation like it did during the early part of the year.

It deserves every ounce of love it's getting right now.

Rhythm game fans be eating good this December. We got not one, but two new (and good) rhythm games over the last few days.

#unbeatable and #RhythmDoctor. Can't wait to jump into these.

Lil' bit of #clonehero to celebrate the end of the work week.

I finished #deathbylightning and honestly, I really really enjoyed my time with it. I don't really have the words to describe why that is, but it kept me hooked all the way through.

As someone with an interest in this stuff it's great to see it get the big Hollywood treatment with some truly […]

I genuinely think me and an old Index catalogue could have a better go at forming a political party than the folks running #YourParty.

Absolute shambles from the word go. And you know what? They've made the left look all the more spent than we looked even a few months ago.

Fuck off already […]

I've been playing some #absolum over the last few evenings and whilst I can see why it's so highly rated, I'm still waiting for it to truly 'grab' me.

I don't think it serves the game very well going from #hadesii straight into Absolum either. Not that the two games are too similar, just that […]

Got some photos from my recently arrived #outerwilds book. I haven't had a chance to start reading it yet (although I finished another book this afternoon so maybe....) but its beautiful work of art in itself.

Unlike the other Outer Wilds book I got earlier in […]

Hesitant to put that on Thompson. He obviously wasn't great, but the #capitals gave up some very juicy shots to the Lightning forwards in that first period.

That said, Washington should have won that one. Our special teams are absolutely killing us and it's going to cost us a playoff spot […]

Based on my watching of #hockey over the last month, I can only assume that all of my brothers and sisters from the DC area are buying giant fucking cars for Xmas?

Is this a thing? It's not a thing in the UK. You guys literally have Xmas themed adverts for Cars. All of them.
