Finally playing the new Hitman trilogy and it’s a rollercoaster of emotions.
Level set in England has left-hand-drive cars:

Assassinate a dictator by dropping a toilet on his head:
“10/10 best game ever”

The madness of British rail passengers.
Pic 1: a rammed platform of passengers desperate to board an already-overcrowded train to London that hasn’t arrived yet.
Pic 2: a completely deserted train to London, sat two platforms over, leaving 15m later and arriving just 30m after the crowded one.

For the ninth time, and 20 years after I first saw them, I will once again be seeing my favourite band live.
But this time's different. For the first time, I'll be bringing my wife. 🥰

Welp, a week later – and using a guide to save my sanity – I just beat the (non-DLC) true final boss of Hollow Knight.
It is a very good game. My reservations above are still there, but you can’t deny the quality on show.
Still much prefer Ori, but yeah, I get the HK hype now.

Seems like if they really want the No Kings protests to work they have to get the aliens on board.

The No Kings protests, also known internationally as the No Dictators or No Tyrants protests, is a series of demonstrations, largely in the United States, against what the organizers describe as authoritarian policies of Donald Trump and corruption in his administration. [Hyperlink to Wikipedia]

Brilliant evening watching a live performance of the music of Celeste. (Basically an accompanied playthrough of the whole game + DLC.) Superb.
And bonus points to whomever thought to insert clips of a TAS/speedrun of tricky parts. Loved hearing the audience’s laughter and baffled astonishment.

Gaming in your thirties. Why shoot bad guys and blow up aliens, when you can spend over an hour carefully recreating your cat so you can play as him while he watches.
All he’s missing is a tartan bow tie.

Rolled credits on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 yesterday.
I completely get the hype. Utterly magnifique.
A spectacular cross between Lord of the Rings, Spirited Away, and Les Misérables.
