I was going to do some gaming at my desk this evening. Someone had other ideas 😆

Ooh and @braceyourselfgames.com, if you're ever planning on adding more classic/Amplified Crypt tunes...

...*hintedy hint hint* 👇👇

As if @braceyourselfgames.com's #RiftoftheNecroDancer is a year old already! 🎂🥳
Easily my 2025 GOTY, and I will forever be obsessed with it ❤️
Also, a core memory is attached to it, having bagged the Number 1 spot on the Medium leaderboard for #CarbonatedLove 🏆 Still not over that by a long shot!! 🤩

Took a little time to start #Fallout Season 2.
This scene happened.
I squeed. A lot.

You absolutely smashed it! 😊 Hopefully we'll see you again soon for more adventurey shenanigans 😁

Diane Foxington, Judy Hopps, Carmelita Fox, and Maid Marian all enter a room. Judy and Carmelita are leading the group, looking out for a wanted suspect. On the platform above them, Robin Hood, Nick Wilde, Sly Cooper, and Mr. Wolf are backed up against the wall, hiding from them. Diane and Marian look up at Wolf and Robin respectively with a knowing smirk. Sly snatches Nick's badge off of him, holding him against the wall with his cane.

Ooh, loving the new look! Very colourful 😍🌈

Nice! 😀 How do you like it so far?
I did, thankies. It's the kind of remaster I like 😊
Tips-wise, if you can master tank controls, use them; it's way easier to judge jumps/distances with them. Save often & take your time, even with "easy" jumps. And use higher ground in combat whenever you can! 🔫🔫

Done! 😆

Damn, that was quite short-lived 🫤
This was one of those games that was always in my periphery, one I thought "I might try it out one day". Good thing I didn't.
Though I guess that's always gonna be the risk with any MMO you pay for, especially now.

TOMB RAIDER I REMASTERED 🔫🧭

Cheating a little, as I've completed the original many times, but still 😆 Despite being utterly bored of remasters, I'm fond of these & the visual style they went for. Still a firm tank controls gal, though. After 27 years, it's ingrained! 😜

To shake the stuck feeling and connect with both my games & here more, I'mma borrow a thread I've seen a few times:

🎮 GAMES COMPLETED IN 2026 🏆🧵

I tend to "save" games for recording or an occasion, and they just need playing, dammit! If you've played these too, lemme know your thoughts, yis? 🙂

Ooh, fun! 😀

Aww 😍
A floof for a floof 🐱

I'm having a lot of fun with it 😊 Switching between slashy swordplay & pew pew magic most of the time 😂 Super satisfying!
I adore how colourful it is too! Reminds us that fantasy RPGs can have serious storylines but don't have to be grey, gritty, and bleak all the time 😆

Glad you enjoyed it! 😄 The Precursor Legacy is among my favourite PS2 games of all time 😊❤️ The world, the animation, the feel of it - it's so good!
I did have some fun with Jak II, but it was such a jarring tonal shift after one game. Learning it was trying to catch up to GTA III was like "Ah." 😆

Title screens you can hear 🥰

That manuscript though!! 😍😍

It finally arrived! The #BrokenSword #ShadowoftheTemplarsReforged Collector's Edition box from @revolutionsoftware.bsky.social is here, and DAYUM it's a beauty! 🤩🥰
George, of course, takes pride of place on my desk 😉

A good chunk of my faves are from this era, but I can't choose just one. Have four - treat yourself! 😄

My top 5 most watched movies!

- The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (they still only count as one 😝)
- Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
- Basil the Great Mouse Detective
- The Nightmare Before Christmas
- The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Some vile discourse has surfaced again—even overhead some at work today—so I'mma repeat this:

🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQIA+ rights are human rights.
🏳️‍⚧️ Trans men are men, trans women are women.
🗨️ The mere mention of someone being LGBTQIA+, in fiction or life, is not an "agenda" or "shoving it in your face".

Kthxbye.
