Decided to upgrade the PS5 a bit after getting Monster Hunter Wilds and resubbing to PS+ after a few years so ordered myself a 2tb ssd.

Amazon really do hire the worst delivery drivers. Not ringing the doorbell, throwing parcels onto the step and just not bothering to deliver all the parcels in the van. I think it's probably time to unsub from Prime. I only kept it for the delivery and it's just not worth it.

I fancy rewatching one of the Terrace House seasons again, it's been way too long. I'll either go with the BxG or In the City, haven't decided yet.

Attempting to play Final Fantasy 6 again. Think I got pretty far the last time but that was years ago.

Now that my Mega SG has been set back up I decided to rearrange my Mega Drive drawer so I can see what's what when I want something to play

I might have to get my Mega Drive collection back out next week. It's my favourite ever system and I barely touch it anymore.

I'd love to buy an arcade machine one day. Was looking at a Neo Geo one yesterday but I just have nowhere to put it.

Well that's it then, it's my 40th birthday today. Time to embrace old age and buy that mobility scooter.

Last day of work tomorrow then I'm off for a week and a bit. Looking forward to a bit of a break around my birthday (40th coming up 😬). Might get the train into either Oxford or Birmingham one day if the weather is nice.

After hearing the news of David Lynch passing I've decided to finally watch Twin Peaks. I bought it on iTunes ages ago but just never got around to it.

I do wish Mythbusters was easier to watch. It's one of my favourite shows but streaming or buying it digitally just seems a mess.

To be honest I've preferred Threads since I've been trying out both of these apps and just getting a lot more conversations going there but with everything going on with Meta this week I doubt I'll be sticking with it much longer.

Got my Steam Replay 2024 and of course Spelunky came out top again. I'm a bit better now but that game used to consume my life!

Not a massive amount of books on my Goodreads Year In Books list but 3 of those were quite close to the end of the year so I expect next year's to be longer.
