A photo of two cats interacting with a cardboard structure that resembles a bus. The top cat is perched on the roof of the bus, looking down at it. Below, inside the bus, another cat can be seen through a hole in the side of the cardboard.

Plushie sold out then :’(?

Glad there was still some stuff left! Looks like a good time nonetheless.

Cocoon is really cool. It’s short (about 5 hours) but perfectly paced. The puzzles are not that difficult despite the intricacies of the worlds-within-worlds concept, which gives the gameplay a nice flow, while retaining those satisfying “a-ha!” elements. Some very smart game design behind that.

Finally finished the final season of The Last Kingdom. Truly one of the best series I’ve seen, with probably the most satisfying ending. I almost don’t want to see the movie because everything is already perfect as it is but I of course will watch it because I can’t get enough 🙃

Played and beat the The Outer Wilds DLC with two friends over the weekend and it was so much fun. We bounced ideas and theories off each other, passing the controller between loops, and were glued to the screen upon each new discovery.

Video games are awesome ❤️

Go play The Outer Wilds.

A tiny blue squid made of crochet, surrounded by a crochet hook and a ball of yarn

✨my first amigurumi ✨ 🥹

I used my past tryouts and scraps as stuffing, so now my first failures have become my first success 😌

A bunch of simple crochet pieces laid out on a table in order of “failed attempt” to “has some semblance of a coaster”.

Progress!! … sort of 😅

I’ve been very of touch with gaming lately but today I finished Pokémon TCG on NSO! Still one of the best GBC games, if only becausd they managed to port the tcg to such a small device with only two action buttons. The AI is surprisingly good and it’s just so much fun to play. 👌

Shit wat ontzettend klote :(. Ken de situatie niet maar ik weet hoe pijnlijk het kan zijn. Tijd voor voldoende self-care maar dat heb je al goed gecovered zo te zien. Veel succes met de hele aftermath 😣 alles komt goed! 💪

Man, that’s a huge bummer :(.

Thankfully Pikmin 4 eased the pain soon after. Got completely absorbed in that :)

You’re definitely not alone. I was constantly looking for that trigger point where it finally clicks and the game gets super good but I’m afraid that moment will never come. I still feel like I haven’t given it a fair shake yet (only did 1 dungeon) but I’m not compelled to continue… at all ☹️

Sergeant Yumi in Starfield

Starfield definitely loses points for not making Sergeant Yummy romanceable.

I don’t think it’s ever explained but if you press and hold the “Take” button, you can manipulate objects. Or is that not what you meant?

Been a long time since I binged a show but One Piece pulled it off!

*This* is how you do an anime adaptation. Instead of toning down the ridiculousness, or worse, being embarrassed about it, One Piece proudly flaunts its crazy characters, and then it…✨just works✨. Well done to the cast and crew!

Today I reached out to her to recommend the live-action series and apparently she already binged the whole thing already and picked up the anime again.

I’m so proud 🥹

We truly don’t deserve One Piece. All these wholesome memories flowing back to me 😭 i cant

I’ve reconnected with my sis thanks to live-action One Piece 🥹

We watched 300+ episodes together when she was little, me live interpreting the fansub into Dutch because she couldn’t read English yet 😅

Interpreting some of the vulgar remarks at that speed was… challenging lol (mom was not happy 😗)

I did not know my newly imported Pikmin Gelato Pique pyjama is made of rayon when I put it in the washing machine 🥲

I could barely fit my fat western ass in those pants when I just got them, now they’ve shrunk a size or two 💀

Ok honestly, going by the first episode, Netflix’s One Piece is pretty good?! And the casting for Luffy is simply *chef kiss*, how the hell did they find this guy??

whaaat I never knew that! I do remember NZ/AUS always getting a bit of mixed treatment though, like sometimes you would get exclusive stuff from Europe, NA and/or Japan, but it all seemed pretty random? like nobody at Nintendo HQ knew what to do with you lol

downside of not working in the gaming industry anymore:

My co-worker thought the Pikmin on my t-shirt were “rainbow friends” from Roblox 🥲

TIL the NTSC version of WarioWare Inc is blue 🤯
The box art changes between different regions in that era are truly fascinating 😅

Games laid out on a table. Left side: WarioWare Inc, PokéPark Wii, Far Cry 3 and a Japanese copy of Donkey Konga 2. Right side: Socom Tactical Strike, GoldenEye: Rogue Agent, 007 Legends and GoldenEye Reloaded.

Loot from the Retro Gamebeurs in Tilburg today! (bf’s haul on the right). Very happy to finally add WarioWare Inc to my almost perfect GameCube collection, and at a very reasonable price no less.
