Breaking my nine-month social media hiatus to urge everyone with access to a phone to play Thronebreaker ASAP. I adore this game and, if you have any interest in Witcher whatsoever, you will too. One of my absolute favourite video game stories

I barely use social media anymore, but yesterday marked two years at CDPR for me. Still can't cast Igni, but I did win a pub quiz with a team called "Geralt of Trivia" last night, which seems like the next best thing

I can't believe God packs are real. Opened this half-asleep and nearly threw my phone at the wall. Had to double-check later because I thought it happened in a dream. Holy shit

ICYMI: In light of the recent trailer for The Witcher IV, myself and my colleague, Marcin Batylda, had a chat with IGN about the lore of The Witcher

This has just become a serious contender for the funniest video ever posted on the internet

Fills me with joy to see so many people talking about The Witcher, whether that be motivated by the new trailer, revisiting TW3, or (especially!) a desire to jump into this incredible world for the first time. My absolute favourite fantasy setting - hope people love it as much as I do

Same here. I was surprised because I half expected to install it and drop off within a week or two, but I'm still playing for ~30 mins a day and it's easily one of my fave games of the year. Can't wait for trading to be added haha

Boss [stern look on his face]: Get out. Now.

Me: It’s the job that’s never started as takes longest to finish

Boss [banging his fists, spitting]: LEAVE!!!

Me: Guess I... shall not pass

Boss [kicking the table]: AHHH!!!

Me: Did you know that when Viggo Mortensen kicked the helmet in The Two Tow-

*at a job interview*

Boss: Tell me about your skills

Me: I can derail any conversation by instantly changing the topic to The Lord of the Rings

Boss: I'll be honest, that sounds pretty useless

Me: The deeds will not be less valiant because they are unpraised

Watching Gladiator and thinking, "If I was alive at that time I would absolutely be Maximus," despite the extremely obvious fact that I would instead be one of the lads who gets trampled by a chariot 4 seconds after walking into the Colosseum

Had a dream in which LinkedIn closed down, and within a week there were global news reports about how society was healing

Theoden's 'Forth Eorlingas' speech has always been one of my favourite LOTR moments, although it has been almost totally ruined for me ever since I heard it as "Forth Aer Lingus." Why does my brain not want me to have nice things

Built a bookcase on my lunch break today, meaning I am wholly committed to being a Lore Guy even outside of work hours
