I get it, honestly. Part of it is definitely a mental response to how bad things have gotten in games.

I don't have the mental energy for the mind games of the modern job market. After the games industry it's straight to Greggs for me.

"I'd rather they found a magic way to continue existing that fulfils my moral standards on making money." Dawg there ain't one or they'd be doing it.

I'm not a big ecomms guy, but I also think people will complain about literally any way media outlets can make money from paywalls to ads 🤷

One of my deranged WFH habits of late has been occasionally shouting "Chriiiiist!" like Edward Woodward in the final moments of The Wicker Man.

Burned out on a couple of podcasts I like because the hosts or the guests were just rolling out terrible hot takes for the sake of it. This is why we swap the format of our podcast every week, it's exhausting to pretend you authentically feel that strongly about every little thing.

Well, he did play Onimusha 2 recently.

I've bought The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, as part of my ongoing project to understand the mind of Matthew Castle.

Dunno how I managed three hours of that in a row. Now to sleep like a baby. 😵‍💫

I love this game.

Indeed, can't quite see how that figures into it, but curious.

I know about 30 new games have released since this one, but this has that ultra rare feeling of an unknown quantity. Zero idea where the story or set pieces are going next.

Just did that scarecrow bit in old Silent Hill f. 😐

When someone mentions one of the old Tory disaster ministers now (I just read the words 'Penny Mordaunt' for the first time in two years), it's like when they bring back one of the bottom-of-the-barrel Batman villains.

I guess the YouTube homepage algorithm *does* know best.

(or just regulate it idk)

I saw someone use the word 'slop' in the Mad Men subreddit. BAN THE USE OF 'SLOP'.

*opens Letterboxd*
"At last: Edie Falco, in three dimensions!"

*deep sigh* I saw that second Avatar film and quite liked it. 😔

Ah yes, now for the most devastating moment in TV history.

Onto the good stuff in Mad Men season 2 🤌🤌🤌

Elegantly done storytelling, doesn't waste any time!

In a fake biker bar in London that's also a clothes shop, and an out-of-shape middle-aged bloke in my eyeline just took his shirt off to change. The vibe is not good.

Turns out, 6 months was optimistic

Me last night: "I'll skip a nutritious dinner since I had loads of Odeon popcorn and Ben and Jerry's ice cream."
Me this morning:

I feel you, mate. I was much happier being undiagnosed.

The podcast that finally asks the question: who is Chet Roivas?

Time for my Friday lunchtime ritual of eating a fried egg sandwich and watching an episode of Reacher, the only time I am even remotely relatable to other men.

Literally everything people have posted about this all week was in someone's marketing deck. It's well annoying to watch.
