Dammit, I wish I would've known that Netflix were removing the Star Trek shows. I was binge watching them and the films in release order, but gave myself a little break from them. Not sure why I bother paying for Netflix at all tbh. This is why physical media and pirate hats are needed...

YouTube video by OSTBGM OnDemand The Wheel of Time Origins Part 1 | Amazon | Animation

Just finished rereading The Wheel of Time to try and purge my memory of the Amazon abomination. One of the only good things that came from that show was the Origins animation.

Sucks that making a manual save is completely disabled when doing some missions in Star Wars Outlaws, don't know what the thinking is there? And I fail to understand why Kay is risking everything for ND-5. The relationship doesn't seem that deep. Is it Stockholm Syndrome or something?

Star Wars Outlaws has lots of yellow paint, but just incase you still might struggle, it has arrows pointing to the yellow paint. Very accommodating. I've mostly enjoyed the game, but the platforming kinda sucks, especially having to wait for an on screen prompt before being allowed to grab a ledge.

Honestly, happy rarely comes into it. I take dozens of slight variations of the same capture and then spend too much time staring at them on my phone trying to decide which is 'best'. Using another app to make further alterations then just makes me feel like I'm trying to roll a turd in glitter. 😅

I just use the Adobe Photoshop Express mobile app to rotate 90 degrees or crop portraits when necessary. I used to spend time in the app adjusting the levels or messing about with filters, but now feel like it's not really worth the additional effort / I don't know wtf I'm doing.

You can't park there, sir!

"I am broken."

Finally, a character I can empathise with.

I'm not exactly in a rush to finish Star Wars Outlaws, but I'm thankful that I was gifted Neva and Kingdom Come: Deliveroo 2 and some PSN store vouchers for Christmas. Hopefully keep me going for a good chunk of the year.

I've just finished rewatching all the Bond movies, so I'm now ready to play and understand the plot of 007 First Light when it's released.

Dr No is still my favourite, probably because I watched it loads when I was younger. I've always liked Casino Royale too, but the rest are mostly a bit shit.

Is it just me, or is this photomode a bit unstable? Getting a fair few game crashes when using it.

Forgot to turn HDR off I guess. It's good seeing these characters, but it also kinda highlights how derpy many of the other NPCs look.

Only a few days into 2026 and I'm already thinking that escapism into video games probably won't cut it anymore.

I fell for it again on Tatooine. The scene went on for 5 minutes and I almost died of boredom. Nix isn't *that* cute to warrant having to spend this much time watching them fill its face and occasionally pressing a random button to enable the scene to continue tbh.

Star wars Outlaws has one of the jankiest / useless mount summoning mechanics I can think of. I imagine I'll be wasting hours waiting for this thing to appear.

'This is so good.'
I felt like it was the opposite of good. In fact, it was such a tedious sequence, I'm contemplating letting Nix starve so I don't have to experience it again.

I hate this kind of game design choice. Subtitles that are cut mid-sentence to display on the next screen, and being able to advance the conversation but it skips to the next person to speak instead of the next line in the conversation. Trying it's best to put me off buying it. #StarWarsOutlaws

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

Sampling that there Star Wars Outlaws demo to try and decide if I should buy, as it's in the PlayStation sale. I always thought it looked pretty good, but then was immediately put off whenever I watched any actual gameplay. Typical of Ubisoft I guess.
