I don’t know if I’m getting too old or games are getting worse or both but this Sony State of Play is dire

I absolutely loved Hades 2, I thought it was better than the original in every way. But after finishing the main story (took me about 33 hours) I don’t feel much motivation to do the endgame content

My 4yo daughter has been up before 5.30am every morning this week because of the clock change at the weekend. We both feel absolutely exhausted. Why do we continue to put the clocks back / forwards?

I’m (I think) about 2/3rds of the way through Keeper and I don’t really know how I feel about it. It’s gorgeous and has a very distinctive art style and the non-verbal storytelling is very impressive… but it’s just not a huge amount of fun to actually play, mechanically

We played our first game of SETI last night.
Really enjoyable, kinda feels like peak Eurogame with elements of Brass, Terraforming Mars and Terra Mystica. Extremely well designed and lots of variety. Visually stunning. Looking forward to repeat plays #boardgames

Probably my greatest professional achievement is that two throwaway derisory phrases of mine have been fully embraced by colleagues and have taken on a life of their own.
“Big number must go up”
“Vibes-driven decision making”

Probably my greatest achievement as as parent is that when I say “potatoes” to my kids, they reply with “Boil ‘em, mash ‘em, stick ‘em in a stew”.

The dodgy gift shop on Princes St story is such a great piece of investigative journalism. I’m so glad that my subscription to @edinburghminute.bsky.social (and other subscribing to hyperlocal media in other cities) makes this sort of work possible

First time playing a friend’s copy of Inis tonight.
I absolutely loved it, and the Irish mythology theme and glorious Jim Fitzpatrick artwork were the icing on the cake. I’ve got my own big box edition arriving hopefully in a few weeks! #boardgames

I think, based on the part number on the RMA confirmation, that AMD are replacing my faulty 7800X3D with a 9800X3D.
I was searching around whether this is a thing they do within warranty and Google’s AI is weirdly insistent that the Ryzen 9800X3D CPU does not, in fact, exist. (It very much does)
