Honestly, I’m just looking forward to so many of us going on a FRLG adventure all at the same time. It’s gonna be a fun few weeks for the community!

Then he’ll stop being president or die of old age, and the whole thing will dissolve. Just one more Trump con with ambitions of nothing beyond simply trying to get a bit more money and attention.

It will achieve nothing. It’s gonna be a room full of minor dictator losers, sat around listening to Trump yap incoherently and complain, because in reality he’d rather be with the β€œcool kids” (Europe, Canada etc) but can’t. And then he’ll fleece the members for more money. That’s it.

How is everyone not aware that Trumps β€œBoard of Peace” is literally hilarious and pathetic in equal measure? Guy realised he couldn’t get the leaders of Europe to do what he wanted, so literally stormed off and decide to just form his own club instead. Except that it’s full of total losers.

Bloody hell this is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time.

Getting so sick of this on Switch 2 πŸ˜‘

It’s frustrating that my excitement for any new third party game on Switch 2 is almost always soured by the fact that it’s only a key card release. I just want to own actual copies of the games I buy.

Wonder Man is awesome, don’t get me wrong, but I really wish Kingsley wasn’t still doing the Scouse accent. It’s…not great.

Love Through a Prism / Love Rondo is my Downton Abbey and I’m not afraid to admit it.

Doing a rewatch of Stranger Things (immediately after finishing S5) and the inescapable conclusion is that S4 is where it pretty much goes off the rails.

S1-S3 feels like a complete story. S4-S5 feels like awkward fanfic.

Oh my god, somehow it's even funnier than the original.

Dragon Quest 2 HD is so much better than 1 HD, it’s almost jarring. It’s like they were made by two totally different dev teams.

Lorelei the Slayer, first book in my new trilogy (sequel in a few months). A young woman in an oppressive religious society must decide how to fight back against her captors, with the supernatural threat of a terrible monster hanging over her. It gets bloody, fast. Swords & rage.

They care about nothing.
They believe in nothing.
They will stop at nothing.

I firmly believe that the key to happiness in adulthood is getting back into the things you loved as a child.

Case in point: I’m getting back into Digimon and it’s making me feel amazing.

I’ve got about fifty ideas written down in my notes app. Actual stories that I’ve written…five. There’s a whole gulf between thinking something up and shaping it into a narrative!

I can’t quite believe that I’ve been waiting for this since the Wii U days, but here we are.

Happy Metroid Prime 4 Day for all who observe it.

I bought a secondhand Analogue Pocket, which plays gameboy and gba games; and I love it. The screen makes my old favourites look amazing.

I’m replaying Red on the original hardware and honestly, being able to look up stuff on the site, like how I used to check my strategy guide back in the day, has been so helpful.

To be clear: Digimon rules.

I think the ending of book three still haunts me, but in a sorta good way.

I read this years ago and I still think about it probably every couple of weeks.

I definitely enjoyed the richer colours in ZA. Even if they do keep changing things up between games, I hope they keep the more vivid colour palette.

God he’s so insecure, it’s pathetic. I’d almost feel bad for him, if he wasn’t so unrepentantly evil in everything he does.

Honestly, I love how passionate he is to talk about his game. It makes a nice change from Nintendo’s usual β€œextremely friendly but formal” vibe for Directs.

That said, man clearly loves being the main character πŸ˜‚
