Speaking of, I spent some of today clearing out some boxes of old gaming stuff and I found it. This is a first run cartridge, bought a few weeks after launch
Now has pride of place on a shelf

I don’t want to be anywhere near the detonation of this bubble when it does explode.
Unfathomable levels of trust and grift applied to torrents of vapour, nothing more

Before seeing this article today I already loathed to fuck how engrained Spotify is in the music industry, at every level.
This seals it, would be incredible to see bands at all levels start to desert the platform but they’re forcibly beholden to the parasite because ingrained name recognition

Still not quite over how impressed I am at the achievement by CDPR getting a tech demo running already (on a base gen9 console too) is for The Witcher 4
Simultaneously jeez is this itch going to be unbearable for the next ~2 years until projected full release

I now own my first Kia EV6 AWD that finally fit the budget, drives like an absolute dream and such a cool space irrespective of it being the first gen.
Discontinued colour too, which is gorgeous

Apple just cannot help themselves. It’s been a good salve to remember that I have absolutely nothing set to collect or share health data, on any of my iDevices
Cue more hunting for increasingly brazen hidden options added to Settings

What game ignited your passion for gaming as a kid?
Star Wars: Dark Forces, which absolutely captivated me having watched Ep IV on TV before getting this on a compilation demo disc for Win 95

So sad to hear that Denis Law has passed away. The remaining 2/3rd of the United Trinity gone inside of 18 months, my Dad’s numb tonight as he saw all three undeniable legends of the game play for and win everything with United for years

At “only” $549/perhaps £499, the just announced RTX 5070 becomes a good candidate for my still-on-paper gaming PC. And yet, the temptation still remains to push for a 5080 to get some more future proofing

Screengrab of one of the worst known offenders in GBible. “Way past the edge of traditional clickbait” is apt, but with many areas of game dev I’m feeling slightly ill at the clamor of AI garbage taking hold and promoting eventual ruin

After a combined 241 hours incorporating NG+, my time with The Witcher 3 is done.
Geralt’s happily retired, Ciri is taking her first steps (ie, hurry up 2026-27!), Yennefer and Triss have new roles in new places so overall very happy with my choices just… the wait!

I’m still buzzing from this surprise reveal, having rewatched the whole thing many times.
Tempered by the gnawing realization that I left my NG+ The Witcher 3 save right before both expansions, which I now have a need to rectify
