Finally giving Weird Revolution by Butthole Surfers a proper go after loving anything I've heard by them in the past, but I can't help imagining Dale Gribble shouting out most of the lyrics on this album (this is probably adding to the experience, I am loving it).

Goddamn, the Metaphor battle theme is an earworm. If they use that chanting in The Game Awards GOTY medley this year I’m gonna go nuts.

Just a happy lil’ dude
Pumpkin with triangle eyes and a banana smile, with “stitch” lines above and below the mouth. He’s lit up through a window and a very bright orange from the light inside.

So Alan Wake II is something else huh! The facial animations on these characters even during gameplay is blowing my mind 🤯

I finally got back to Alan Wake and my God I loved it very much. Games like this remind me why I wanted to make games in the first place; which it feels like I need a constant reminder of lately.

Finally playing Alan Wake for the first time after years of hearing about it, knowing I’d love it but never getting round to it. The supernatural vibes are fantastic, especially with the narration. Gonna thread this with all the little details I find/love! Light spoilers I imagine! (pun intended!)

I love FFXIV

The print I got with my Bungie Marathon t-shirt is incredible. Nowhere else gets me so hyped so easily. Cannot wait!
White sheet with red text in all capitals. Green text in all capitals is overlaid over some of it. Half of the page is scribbles and doddles of eyes/faces. The first image with a sheet of red plastic over the green text which isolates it and makes it readable. The full isolated text using the red plastic: Make it die already. The system. The lie. Maybe I’m doing alright. If I stand for what I believe in. If I believe in a future I’ll never see. Mass indifference disrupts advancement of society. Of self. Mayhem is definitely allowed. Now. Then. Always. Mercy is direct action. Care for people. Break cages. Martian independence demands accountability for workers. For communities. For families. For you. Mobilised interventions dissuade apathy on Mars. On Earth. In orbit. One million faces. One name. One million meanings. MIDA. Join the revolution.

I thought I couldn't love FFXIV any more than I already do, and then I bought an ultrawide OLED 🤩
Ultrawide screenshot of a location in FFXIV. The moon takes up most of the left side of the screen on clear a starry night, with old stone buildings and chimneys in the foreground close to the camera.

Man, I fucked up buying the first in the Destiny Exotic Armoury Collection cause now I gotta buy them all
Model of the exotic glaive Vexcalibur from Destiny 2, part of the Exotic Armoury Collection on the Bungie Store. A sheet of card with a quote on it reads: “And they came to a lake fair broad. “Lo,” said the voice, “yonder is the blade that I spoke of.”

I’ve had an account here for a while but trying to write my first post feels like trying to draw in the first page of a new sketchbook. Anyway, here are our cats Jake and Elwood.
Jake (tuxedo cat) sat like a people on a green couch with a tv remote next to him. He has a dopey little face and is staring in to the distance. Elwood (tuxedo cat) perched awkwardly on top of a jute washing basket kind of looking like one of those snakes that hang out in baskets
