If anyone would like to Switch it up, here's my code.

Sadly I don't have a GameCube controller for my Switch, but I fancied some chilled nostalgia today and I've not yet tried the new GameCube emulator on Switch 2, so Luigi's Mansion it is 👻

This was a lot of fun! Really impressed with the mod quality and the new puzzle elements fit in really well to the existing ones.

Finally got some time to game again, so I naturally went back to Final Fantasy Tactics. Just a nice, chill story segment to work through on a Sunday night.

A colleague just sent a snotty, passive aggressive email to me and CC'd my manager, but also used the phrase "deja view", so I can't be too mad.

The scariest thing I did yesterday was try out a new barber. Worked out well though, I think! ✂️

As always, very late to the party, but I've recently started watching Invincible for the first time and I'm really enjoying it. I can't believe some of the names they got for the cast and the soundtrack is banging.

I broke a threshold of organisation and sanity when I briefly considered making a to do list to organise all of my to do lists.

I know that FFXIV is just a giant reference to other FF games but the number of times I'm doing this when playing Tactics is sending me.

White Mage: benevolently pray that a divine power gently cradles a fallen ally back to the wakeful world.

Monk: yell at someone so loudly that they get better.

It's been a while since I've been on a bus in the nighttime so it's lovely to see that mood lighting has been installed 💅🏻

Just starting to scratch the surface of the job system, and I can already see why it's so iconic for many people. Fave lil combo so far is changing a White Mage's job to Black Mage, and vice versa, and giving each healing and damaging spells 🔮🔥
Making a start on Final Fantasy Tactics! I've been looking forward to this since its release, but life (and Silksong!) meant I couldn't begin until now. Already enjoying my adventure in Ivalice!

I've been waiting for this one to drop, I want to play the trilogy in order on my Switch 2 👻

After playing the demo for Voyager: Across The Unknown I am feeling pretty hyped for it. It's currently looking pretty solid (though clearly an early build) and while I can already see potential mid- to late-game issues in the game model, there's a very exciting foundation in place here.

Finally watching Alien Earth and I was pleasantly surprised to see Michael Smiley and Adrian Edmondson appear in supporting roles.

That'll do me! I've really enjoyed Silksong, some of the later challenges took the piss and Act 3 felt a bit disjointed compared to the rest of the game, but it was a journey well worth making. Thanks, Team Cherry!

Wow... Skarrsinger Karmelita. That felt like a particularly proud achievement when I got the clear. I genuinely didn't think I was going to be able to do it!

Silksong Act 3 so far
October 5, 2025 at 2:29 PM
I completed Silksong yesterday afternoon!

...but of course, I didn't really *complete* it, so I spent yesterday adding to this already substantial game time unlocking more side quests to get a better ending and hopefully see Act 3 today!

When the brand guidelines have CMYK and RGB but no hexadecimal references. What kind of amateur operation is this?
October 1, 2025 at 2:50 PM
I've got a decision to face this evening, because I am really looking forward to playing this, but I am also nowhere NEAR done with Silksong, which I am enjoying very much too!

Movie night! 🍿 🎥

It becomes a race against time to complete all of my life admin this weekend to give myself enough time to complete Silksong before Final Fantasy Tactics comes out next week. Will he make it? Almost certainly not.
