After literally everything thats happened in 2026 so far - I decided to go and get myself a treat after work

I was sat in the car park, enjoying my treat with a friend, listening to some music

The car's battery has died 💜

crying i didnt even mean that

straight out of year 5 english with that one

My review of Monster Hunter Stories 3 will be out within the week - I had originally had stuff lined up for embargo, but family stuff really got in the way with this one. Taking my time with it, it'll be worth the wait, the game is really really great

Going outside properly for the first time today since the news, hoping that I don't crumble. Maybe agreeing to do a shift on a busy Rugby day wasn't the smartest, but I think trying to move again is for the best

Bed gravity is strong today :/

Living with someone who has a very limited sense of empathy makes this whole grieving thing much harder than it should be

Feels like a really good fit

Practicing some self-care today

Bought myself Pokopia and a ticket for the Metaphor: ReFantazio concert

All over the place, but I'll manage <3

Please be patient with me over the next few days and weeks - my Grandad passed away in hospital last night suddenly and I'm trying to collect the pieces.

I'm sorry in advance.

Of course the situation with Highguard is genuinely a shame for the people who worked on it.

But literally two posts down from that was a post about how FF11 (older than me) was dealing with server congestion, and I had to at least chuckle

As far as I can tell it's just people dunking because of Geoff gassing the game up to all hell as the final game at TGA.

Blue Prince is one of those games that I genuinely thought was already on Switch, so I'm sat here very confused

Tricky Tony strikes again

Deltarune Chapter 5 won't be at the Indie World presentation

but what if it was

oh so they brought back that Resident Evil enemy did they
How nice of them

Last night I experienced:
- scary flashing lights
- having to hide myself from shambling people who I didn't want to notice me
- cold and heavy rain

i also played Resident Evil Requiem

This also marks the second piece in my ongoing column

Which means this is an actual *thing* now.

Time to start playing more of those games!

LOUD CLAXON

If you're needing a break from Resident Evil, take a few to read my new column on playing Super Metroid for the first time in 2026! Was a fascinating game to experience, hampered only slightly by the NSO interface. I dig into that weird intersection, and more, in this piece!

Do read!

Excited to see that when it happens! Just picked it up this afternoon, going purely off the opening hotel sequence

Genuinely feel for her, her screams are eerily realistic 😭😭

Angela Sant'Albano deserves every single award for her performance as Grace in Requiem

Even in the first hour, she is utterly incredible.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one seeing that weirdness. It's impossible to place but something looks wrong.

Exactly

They should announce Knack 3, to be honest

The supposed "author" of this review having an MA in Literature from the University of Sussex is comedy gold.

Yeah, I'm sure you graduated with such cutting analysis as:

"with the precision of a laser-sight and the subtlety of a rocket launcher"

Come off it.

The Masters in Literature from the Uni of Sussex also made me laugh out loud

Yeah I'm sure you graduated with such belters as

"with the precision of a laser-sight and the subtlety of a rocket launcher"

I feel compelled to share this skeleton diagram that my aunt has on her bathroom wall

Pretending that this family dinner is a Disco Elysium interaction for my own survival
