Streaming Services are such a joke. Paramount owns the mission impossible films, but two of them are missing, three of the Scream films are missing, 4 of the Friday the 13th films and so on. What’s the point.

So I restarted Witcher 3 over the weekend. I've only met three of the main female protagonists so far and two of them are naked in your first interactions with them. Is that a theme that continues throughout the rest of the game because none of the men aside from Geralt have been in the buff so far.

I got an email earlier telling me about the great deals this Black Friday season. Love to see corporates stretching the definition of a word in order to fill their coffers. Reminds me of how opening weekends for films now start on the Monday before 😆

Good Morning Britain normally have a pro and con person when discussing debates. There was a discussion about trans women competing in female events earlier and the only people discussing it are both against trans women being in female sports. Ironically, they want equality in female sports 🤦🏻♂️

Couldn’t resist buying the remaining games I needed in the Steam sale to finish off the Atari Recharged series. I do love playing them.

Just watched Pillion and nearly 40 people walked out. I guess Bournemouth just isn’t ready for Alexander Skarsgard’s giant plastic penis.

Had a brilliant evening with @psientologist.bsky.social and Greg last night. Played a bunch of games, took the G’AIM’E gun for a spin and put the world to rights 👍🏻

It’s linear as hell, but I’m certainly getting my £1.50 out of Rogue Trooper Redux. Shocking that only 55% of owners have finished the first level.

Does anyone know why Sifu shows keyboard prompts when playing on Steam Deck? I am using the epic version via heroic.

After giving up gaming on all other systems since getting a Steam Deck, I’ll absolutely be investing in Valve’s new hardware. Day one, baby.

1) Has anyone else been diagnosed with ASD as an adult? How did it make you feel?
I went through numerous emotions when I found out recently.
Guilt, for potentially passing it to my daughter who also has ASD.
Anger, that I struggled for over 50 years with a disability before it was noticed.

There's a cool @gamesradarplus.bsky.social feature about Mario that @hkt3030.neocities.org and I (mostly Nick) wrote. Give it a read to celebrate Mario's 40th.

It's a busy time of the year now with three more magazines to finish before the end of 2025. One goes sometime today, the other two just in time for Christmas. It's going to be a much-needed break before 2026 starts up.
