Took some getting used to, but playing #PathOfExile2 on WASD controls as Mercenary (with a big crossbow) is a lot of fun.

Played a round of the Battlefield 6 beta and the biggest thing missing is my ability to be good at Battlefield games. Still having fun though.

Jurassic World Rebirth was better than expected, do wish the series could go full horror mode.

Funny how you just need to break some angles to turn kitchen environment into a spaceship.

I’ve completed a deep frame-by-frame analysis of everything that was shown at the Summer Games show, as well as all the social media coverage and commentary that came from it. I’m fairly confident in saying now, that yes, people are still making video games.

Every time I wall climb in Doom I wonder what my feet are doing. Is the slayer in like a beast pose gripping with all fours or are they just dangling

Played Fortnite for the first time in a while over the weekend. There is so much stuff in that game now, and it’s interesting to me how the mode with fort building disabled is more popular than the original one.

About 5 hours into Doom: The Dark Ages, and I’m fairly confident it’s my favourite of the 3 modern Doom games.

Even on easy difficulty I’m terrible at the dodge and parry timing in Expedition 33. Very frustrating.

Jumping into the Oblivion remaster blind. I mean, I played the original a whole lot, but I watched maybe 2 mins of the reveal stream today, so I’m not sure what exactly has been changed or updated.

Went to go play Death Stranding, realised I don’t have the PS5 upgrade, now I’m just paying Astro Bot instead.

Hope everyone that can safely make it to GDC has a good time.

It’s been 7 or 8 years since I went last, and the world has changed so much since then!

Watched Heretic this weekend, strong premise and first half but otherwise ended up being just ok.

Felt like a lot of it was over explained… should have kept some of the goings on a mystery, or at least up for interpretation.
