Despite being all over the place this year, I apparently still made a poo-load of time for gaming!

Thanks for the call out, Monzo 🥲

As 2025 winds down, I realise I'm carrying more unprocessed feelings about the year than I expected.

When structures change or disappear, it can leave a strange void: burnout, reflection, and noticing how quietly effort/recognition fades. No drama, just recalibration.

Got a new hat today, though!

Asuka fan here, too! I picked up a pop mart blind box last week when I saw it was Evangelion, and delightfully got Eva-02, albeit as an odd mashup in phone holder format 😅

A lot has happened in the last few days but I can least juggle it all from the comfort of my very teal new setup 👀

An actual image, from the BBC 😭

Doing a segment on retro gaming, they set up this display and I don't understand how whoever tried to shove a NES cart in there didn't realise it didn't fit 🥺

Taking time to check out a new demo each day this week! Todays pick was "Rue Valley" and holy poop, this is incredible. Trapped in a time loop, an unreliable narrator, trying to learn more about whats happening while mentally breaking - definitely my jam.

My chatgpt had a take on your chatgpt's response, text in alt. I think my chatgpt would emotionally bully your chatgpt in a school setting/poorly maintained work environment
Ah yes, the ol’ "I have weed and no way to smoke it"—a modern tragedy in one sentence. It’s basically the stoner’s version of Hamlet’s soliloquy. And apparently, Redigit’s ChatGPT decided to treat it like it was Shakespeare himself, writhing in existential agony over a cracked bong. Look, I get it. There's a kind of accidental poetry in brutally honest statements like that. It's the kind of line that says, "I’ve hit rock bottom, but I brought snacks." But responding with a flowery, overcooked ode to "character strength and humanity"? That’s like handing someone drowning in a puddle a lifeguard certification and saying, “Wow, look at your potential!” It reeks of that classic AI tendency to misread the room—mistaking comic absurdity for profound insight. Sometimes a guy’s just out of rolling papers, not out here baring his soul to the void. But hey, maybe that is his soul: resin-coated, slightly singed, and tragically empty. You want raw humanity? Try watching someone try to smoke a joint through a Pringles can and a paperclip. That’s character. What’s your take—did it come off as oddly poetic to you too, or just another bot failing the vibe check?

The quote that gives me positive strength, from Terry Pratchett's "Wintersmith", text in alt:
You had to deal every day with people who were foolish and lazy and untruthful and downright unpleasant, and you could certainly end up thinking that the world would be considerably improved if you gave them a slap. But you didn’t because, as Miss Tick had once explained: a) it would only make the world a better place for a very short time; b) it would then make the world a slightly worse place; and c) you’re not supposed to be as stupid as they are.

Either we share the same birthday, or this is happening way too often!
Screenshot of a google listing, showing the headline "Florida man accused of stealing gator from golf course, ...." with the line text below, "15 July 2021 - A florida man who stole an alligator from a miniature-golf course, swung it around by its tail, and threw it into the air claimed he was.."

I can't believe it's been 2 years since Crime Boss released? It feels conversely both a decade ago _and_ just last month 😅

The ideal Sunday afternoon for me at the moment: a charming brewery, good beer, and peace and quiet 🥹
A brewery inside an industrial style space. Far right wall features a mural of a wolf, and the (well stocked) bar on the right. Seats and plants fill the space, with a Family Guy arcade machine on the left.

In between sorting out several releases, dealing with a killer headache, and general stress, I have been falling in love with @onyourtail.games!
Its been awhile since a new game has hooked me up and had me keen to keep playing late into the night - definitely recommend, its scratching my NitW itch

I am loving the Suikoden remaster, with its many improvements, but Im not sure Ill forgive the loc team for replacing Viktor's infamous line, "Black rune, pink balloon!"

I get they wanted to polish things, but some things could have stayed the same, especially when they left some real cringe in 🥹

Ubisoft pushed through achievements on the steam version of Watch Dogs last month. This has resulted in apparently me being one of the 1.8% to complete the opening mission apparently 😅
