I'm a veteran male gamer from the UK. My RPG playing goes way back past Baldur's Gate, to student D&D. On BSN and Xbox as SofaJockey. Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Horizon, Fallout, Last of Us, God of War, Hitman, Death Stranding, Day's Gone & Assassin's Creed.
The best halloween costume I ever had was a full grim reaper costume. Accompanying my daughters & other kids I had practiced a gliding walk and would stand stock still at the end of each drive with my scythe while the kids filled up.
Apparently I scared the kids and was told never to do that again.

Further to a #StarTrek discussion. If you watched the Next Generation, which 100 episodes could you watch as a new or old viewer cutting out filler episodes? Trimmed by IMDb ratings with a handful added for plot. My suggestions. (seasons 1-4) 1/2

I was idly discussing classic #StarTrek and suggested that it would be better for a new viewer to only watch the best 50 (skipping 30 filler episodes) than plough on through the whole lot.
Having trimmed by IMDb ratings, I think it's also a solid list for a rewatch.. 🤔 (Mudds W. included for plot).

The thing I'd like YouTube to do is add is a checkbox that removes all the AI slop that's strangling my feed.
That would be nice.

Darn, I usually buy Xbox versions of multi-platform games (I have both consoles).
But with Xbox's brand looking shaky, I cancelled * 007 First Light and will go with the PS version. **
* very easy as they don't charge until launch.
** much closer to launch because they do charge immediately.

Interesting to see the #GoldenJoysticks nominations drop. Got my votes in.
I find they usually go a little too early in the season, but I guess that's so they don't get obscured.
Went with Death Stranding 2 for my GOTY and Erika Ishii for best actor in Ghost of Yōtei.
& 'most wanted'? Witcher 4.

Hot day. Cans of Pepsi* (works with Coke too I expect) in the back of the car.

Uncertain of the science involved here, but it was quite a shock. (8 can pack - 3 exploded, 2 deformed, 3 unaffected).

Not excusing game executives for treating employees poorly.
However, toxic creators who dump on decent games as being 'garbage' for outrage clicks damage gaming.
Quirky, diverse or 7/10 games get cancelled if they are not obvious winners in this political environment.
Very unhealthy situation. 🫤

One of the fine (nearly 300 yr) traditions in the UK is today's King's parade (Trooping The Colour) on the monarch's official birthday.
Many countries (and even despots) have military marches and parades, but for sheer class and dignified respect, I think the Brits have this down as an art form. 😎
