I love the fact that the Finnish version of the flood myth has nothing to do with the flood, divine punishment or any of that, but is instead about a dude that hits himself with an axe while making a boat and is trying to staunch the bleeding.
It's very Finnish, for sure.

I've never smoked in my life, but every once in a while I remember how Cillian Murphy had this gesture in Peaky Blinders, where he rolled the cig on his lips before actually lighting it and looked fucking cool.

I spent well over a month talking to investors to get the actual data behind what’s happening to the games industry. I was going to say “enjoy!” but it’s, uh, not great.

I'm some 30+ hours into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and this thing of beaut might very well be one of the best (j)rpgs of all time. Stellar achievement all-around and such a pleasure to play.

Teachers in movies and tv are always in mid-sentence, when the bell rings. As if they're just winging it how far they can get with the lecture with zero preparations.

Not that hard to guess what happened in The Last of Us' latest episode, I guess. Welp, was to be expected.

I really liked Blue Prince and its slowly revealing depth. I'd love, love, love to keep digging into its lore and secrets more, but then rng element isn't really suited for very specific hunting. Still a great game, highly recommend.

Funnily enough, once more, I still haven't slept, because I had yet another horror story anthology idea for a comic akin to Tales from the Crypt, which I started to flesh out instead of, you know, sleeping.
But the truly crazy part of it is that I actually wrote some of it down. A miracle, that.

Every so often I surf the internet without ad blocking, and my eyes just start to bleed immediately.

Syitä on varmasti monia, vaan silti pk-seudun kirjaston (Helmet) päätös luopua maailmalla yleisesti käytössä olleesta OverDrive-kirjastosta on kyllä megaluokan virhe.
Oma viimein aktiivisemmaksi muuttunut lukeminen taisi jäädä sit siihen, ennen kuin näiden oma viritelmä muuttuu saavutettavammaksi.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on the other hand has been a pleasant surprise.
Feels novel, even if it isn't really. Just a sad truth that they don't really make games like this anymore.

The Boys is really running on fumes, huh?
I mean they are reeeeally stretching those plots for, quite frankly, meaningless silly content, and the deviations from the comics are not really adding anything. Pacing is dreadful.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle's tutorial is a fun homage to the original movie's opening, but it's also a perfect example of how a different pacing can totally ruin a perfect scene. Those long walks through the jungle/cave? Naaah.

Imma be honest. If the game doesn't force me to travel around the world from a shitty little village to the next to gather more cards, it ain't true Gwent.

The whole internet (aka: all the guides) claiming a certain choice in the beginning of Dragon Age: The Veilguard would matter with getting the "perfect ending" is, in fact, false.
It does not matter. And all of those guides are lying, which, in and of itself, is amusing, considering.

Tämän illan kaksikosta se parempi tapaus ja oiva esikoisohjaus Zoë Kravitzilta. Hieman hakuammuntaa joiltain osin, mutta tiukka ja toimiva trilleri kaikin puolin.

Dragon's Dogma 2 might do the funniest shit I've seen in video games in years, but it's also a massive spoiler, so nothing more about that.

I love that my brain can conjure on a whim a pretty cool horror story from scratch during the two hours or so I try to fall asleep.
Now if only my other brain quirks would actually let me put it on paper and actually finish the damn thing.

I honestly can't remember when I've had this fun playing games as with Helldivers 2. Such chaotic co-op mayhem that's a total (nuke) blast.
