Thanks for all the well wishes.
Just woke up as I’ve slept nearly all day.
The fever is even rising a bit to 38,7 now.
Never had that before as my normal temperature is only 35,3.

A digital thermometer displaying a temperature of 38.2°C, held above a soft, white blanket.

Just called in sick as I feel awful today.
Barely able to eat anything and always cold despite being rolled up in like 6 layers of clothing and blankets.

So if I’m a bit quiet the coming days, I’m probably sleeping.

Ah yes, it's the fact checkers who are the true villains!
Why didn't I notice this before?!

Not a surprise in the slightest, but what a fucking monster this guy is.

Original post on mstdn.games

It's way too late for me, but I just couldn't stop playing Alan Wake 2.
About 6 hours in now.
Gonna try to keep it as vague as possible.
Started playing the other section now and it's just as creepy, but in a very different way.
Love how they tackle two very different psychological horror […]

The image shows a PS5 game box for "Baldur's Gate III." The cover features a dark design with a stylized emblem and tentacles, alongside age rating labels.

Finally home from another day at work that I wish I could just wipe from my memory…

At least the homecoming was good.

Just got a notification that my PS5 copy of Baldurs Gate 3 has finally been delivered.
Of course this happens 2 days after I’m back at work instead of two weeks ago when my vacation just started…

Oh well. Glad to finally have it.

A PlayStation 4 copy of Space Hulk

A PlayStation 4 copy of Space Hulk

As I've been diving into the Warhammer world this past couple of weeks, I've been looking at the games as well, obviously.

This is one that got delisted quite a while ago, but I was able to find a brand new physical copy of it in Germany at least. 😊

Front cover for Sega Pro 34 - July 1994 (UK), featuring Rock N Roll Racing on the Mega Drive.
The left hand side of the magazine has a section torn off which is approximately 2cm wide and 10 cm tall.
All the artwork is gone and it's just the white later of paper underneath that's showing.

The same cover after a couple hours of work in photoshop.
Reconstructing the letters, but also part of the front of the blue car, as well as the background layer, which is much harder to do than one would imagine as the human eye somehow is incredibly good at pattern recognition, so when just copying the same part over and over, it quickly jumps out as being not right.

But I think the way I go about this, that's not noticeable at all, even when looking for it.

Well, there goes a good part of my Sunday I guess. 😅

I was working on levelling and cropping the pages from Sega Pro 34 - July 1994 (UK), when I noticed the cover has a part of it torn off due to some cover gift which must have been taped on it 3 decades ago […]
