"If I get the daily logins then I can-" No. Don't believe their lies.

Sometimes you've just gotta ugly laugh, like you've just pressed quit game on Banjo Kazooie

Isekai gets a free pass to all this :)

Another is stuff like "if they believe that, I've got a bridge to sell them", which is a saying based on a real world historical event, so the story needs to be transposed into the setting, and have it well known enough that the characters would have heard of it

Example, a phrase based on a technology that doesn't exist in the setting. If someone refers to "switching gears", you best be sure that people in rural pre inciting incident village in the middle of nowhere would a) know what a gear is and b) have ever seen a gear in their life, if they even exist

I know there's meant to be a certain amount of suspension of disbelief when consuming fantasy media, but every now and again, there'll be a phrase or saying used that 100% would not exist in the setting, and it's hard to not let it pull you right out

Thinking back on it, Journey is a terrible name for a video game. Sure, it does exactly what it says on the tin, but it'd be like name a game "Adventure" or an FPS "Shooter".

It's one step removed from naming a video game "Game"

On this day, thirteen years ago, on 11/11/11, Skyrim came out!
Probably gonna dip into it again today to celebrate

I like going to the Bluesky website, because I can just type "bs" then press enter.

Felt like reading Transmetropolitan again, and damn if that thing ain't a vibe

Currently trying to pick my next game, between either Mass Effect Legendary Edition or Persona 5 Royal, both of which are fairly cheap in the steam sale at the minute

I got to the end of Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2 again last, and it still holds up wonderfully, even after 20 years (or as much as a game that was rushed to release can hold up technically)

Thoroughly enjoyed visiting MCM Comic Con in London! Meeting everyone there was a delight, and artists alley was chock full of amazing stuff, definitely want to go back again in May!

On my way to London for the MCM Comic Con! Very excited! ☺️

The thing that keeps irking me the most is that while there are no ads, most of the people that pop up in my feed are ultimately trying to sell me something (check out my YouTube/Twitch, subscribe to my Patreon, buy my music/art etc.) which seems slightly disingenuous.

People keep saying Bluesky is "just like old Twitter!" It's not, not by a long shot. The fact people keep posting about "the algorithm" should be able to tell you that much.

Everyone keeps telling the algorithm what their interests are, but no one is asking the algorithm what its interests are.

Neither am I.

If you're name is Bill (or William I guess), you've already got an easy fallback when giving your PC a name, you can just call it Bill's PC. And then pretend that was the intention all along.

Been replaying Knights of the Old Republic 2 a bunch at the minute, and it's always such a treat to revisit. Been through the game about a dozen times, but there's always something new to uncover, an extra layer to the narrative to peek into.

There's always things that can be improved with .NET MAUI, but being able to whip up an app that pulls data from a DB and displays it in a useful way on several platforms in under an hour is really nifty.

Whatever it was is now out the window, it is now CATS!

Anyone a fan of the other worlds books depend on the bean counter? Cause here's my shrine. I love my beanie Bois. I would do anything for them. Praise be bean. If this tempts you to read it I'll add a bean to my beany chalice in your honour. Please try it 🫶 English print published by @yenpress.com
