Replaying Cyberpunk.

Build: Sandevistan blades/knife throwing with stealth.

Clothing choice: Anime villain

People who say “AI is the future” are so funny.

I mean come on, like this planet has a future. You silly goose.

It’s mildly hurtful that the facial age verification prompts of sites like Xbox don’t even slightly question if I may be over 18.

They’re all like “Yup, no you’re clearly too old for this. Tick”

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

The stuff we have planned for this is really cool

Watched “King Arthur: Legend of the sword” again. It’s better on a 2nd watch but you can pinpoint the moment the film loses its credibility.

It’s the Beckham cameo. It’s laughably out of place when the film takes itself so seriously.

Jude Law’s villainous Vortigern is fun though.

They’ve thankfully stopped now but their timing is always impressive

Me: “No, I won’t book a London trip today. I will chill out and play games”

My neighbour:

Just had a random flashback to when we were starting the Realms of Ruin livestreams and thinking about set decoration and I said: “I’ve some daggers, maces, skulls and candles you can use” and absolutely no one questioned it.

The random moments of working in gaming.

Got bored and rented the Until Dawn film.

The characters are unlikable, the plot is silly and it has basically nothing to do with the source material.

Conceptually it would have been OK as its own thing but trying to bluntly tie it to the IP feels oddly insulting to the game.

The Spotify age verification data tracker is going to be so confused to see me just listening to "Golden" on repeat.

Me: "Maybe I should take myself to the Natural History Museum this weekend"

Checks bookings and see all time slots taken.

ME: "Welp, nothing for it. I will have to stay home, play games and eat junk food. Can't be helped."

It showed me the wonderful truth that, as a bald man, I too can become a vendetta powered megalomaniac if I just apply myself.

I know Jonathan Young but I'll check out Colm.

Some of the missions are definitely tougher stealth wise, especially PL DLC as it has a lot of "Action" moments. Outside of those moments I did find stealth largely more reliable as a survival tactic.

Early stealth is hard but once you level up a bit stealth is by far the best way to play (At least for me). If you focus on expanding hacking and stealth you can become a living shadow god after a few levels.

I see the Gov responded to the repeal petition with the usual "Nya nya I can't hear you" that has been the petition tradition.

I look forward to the inevitable mass data breach/Doxxing that we all know is coming from this "safety Act".

Fantastic Four is pretty good. Would have liked more villain time but that seems to be the case with most Marvel stuff over the last few years.

I’d say it’s the best representation of the F4 on the big screen…But that’s not a high bar…

…I am currently the only person in this cinema…

Impromptu trip to the cinema for Fantastic Four. Usually wait for Marvel to come to Disney+ but I’ve heard good things on this one.

Rewatched Dragon Age Absolution. Really wish Veilguard could have picked up some of the characters (I basically mean Ashley Burch’s Qunari) and story hooks from that. We’ll probably never get a resolution to that teaser at the end which sucks.

The age verification thing is so weird.

Can't believe it said "Thanks granddad" after I sent in my selfie and then gave me a retirement home brochure.

NordVPN has been useful for when I've needed a VPN so far.

Going from a level 20 DnD Druid to a level 2 Pathfinder Witch/Necromancer is a humbling experience.

I enjoy the tradition of trying to recreate myself as close as I can in games.

It’s so odd how I almost always end up some kind of evil spellcaster…

I got told I was “Creepy” today.

It’s not my fault your attic is so easy to skitter into.
