Try playing game, controller triggers are sticking closed. Rip open my Series X controller, there's two teeny tiny bits of rubber or something similar acting as stoppers for the triggers, except after only a few years they've gone gummy and are sticking to them instead. Hmm... I sense ongoing work.

The most annoying part of Star Trek going full on low-effort-normie-bullshit is that you get the huge crowds of people with no standards for their media insisting that you can't judge any of it because it's "not for you". Yeah it's not for me because it's shit, not because it's different.

Shout out to the kid "racing" me the whole way home. I was on cruise control singing Queen tunes the entire time, lol. I wasn't trying to beat you, you just can't take corners. Get some proper tyres, have you never seen a rainy season before?

When you go to see what's getting a special Christmas re-release at the cinema and it's....Kill Bill. Huh.

I know this doesn't matter at all but... Thinking that the supermarket had finally started stocking steak cut chips, I reached for them and pulled out... "Slim steak cut fries".
Slim. Steak cut.
THOSE ARE JUST REGULAR FUCKING CHIPS.

Got to an area in Laika and I'm moving in with some foreboding. I have a feeling this is going to be both awesome and ludicrously violent, and we're talking about a game that opens with a crucifixion, where you collect the entrails of enemies you kill to use as currency.

Oops, tried out a new furry game and ended up playing it until 1am.
Laika: Aged Through Blood is, so far, very good but also a little frustrating at times. Feels kinda like Lisa meets Iconoclasts meets Trials United. Odd mix, mostly works. Looks and sounds fantastic too.

Five games into the Ratchet and Clank series and you really do get the feeling that nobody had any idea where they were going with it.
...And also that Size Matters is abysmal, just a collection of badly made, badly explained mini games with awful controls and worse cameras.

Oh good, exposition delivered in unfinished black and white animation in a Hideaki Anno show, this can only end well.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.
This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

The more I play old console shooters the more I understand why everyone was blown away by Halo. Coming from PC it felt incredibly mediocre even at the time, but compared to what was on console?
I'm currently playing the 6th Gen Medal of Honor games and I didn't expect Frontline to be THE GOOD ONE.

I love that I've somehow - twice - raised a cat with a bedtime, who gets grumpy if they're up after their bedtime, because they can't go to bed without dad to steal warmth from.

Trying to get people off your YouTube feed like: "Ok, you blocked Luke Stephens, Luke Stephens Live and Luke Stephens TV, but have you considered.... Luke Stephens Clips?"

OK look, fuck Roblox but this is intentional rage-bait. The first part of his answer is not a response to "what do you think of predators?" The full response still sucks and is worthy of criticism, so the only reason to deceptively edit it like this it to generate the response seen in the replies.

You know how we had Reductio ad Hitlerum on the Internet before....this? Did we ever have a version of that for comparing everything to 1984?

The way Hazel tries to get my attention at my desk by walking near my legs and letting her tail drag across them. It's so sweet. <3
Of course sometimes she just reaches up and starts batting until I pay attention, but ignore that right now.

Deciding what to have next as my "lunch break" game, I thought "oh right, I never finished the X-Morph DLC, I could do that."
I have quickly remembered why I have not finished the X-Morph DLC. Jesus Christ. No, sure, spam dozens of cruise missiles and super heavy tanks on wave 2, that's reasonable.

No idea why people give the Game Adverts attention. The "GOTY" list is only ever going to be predictable, mass-appeal blah-blah. They want the largest number of people viewing and sharing ads. If it were an awards show based on quality there'd be a chance of something appearing you hadn't heard of.
