This looks real interesting. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for it and see what the reviews say.

Same. I enjoyed a lot of what I played but I don’t get on well with metroidvanias. So I only played a couple of hours before I either got lost or died too often to a boss.

I recently got myself an Anbernic, it’s the one which looks like the GBA, see through plastic and all. It’s a surprisingly competent little console. It even comes preloaded with a shed load of retro games. I’ve been enjoying playing games from systems I missed out on growing up.

My family had about 5 of these between us by the time we started getting into lites and 3d versions. I had the original chunky boy and a 3ds. We took them on holiday and played the brain training multiplayer games. Great fun, my parents even got into them for a bit and they said off video games a long time beforehand.

Depending on what you’re going for, 1 and give them a German accent. Otherwise 2.

I’ve been playing Rogue Trader, really enjoying it so far. I’ve also gotten myself a harmonica and started learning to play that, I’m still at the nursery rhymes stage but it’s good to make music again.

We had a long weekend in the UK. The weather was surprisingly reasonable as well, it only rained on Saturday. It’s always nice to have longer off work.

It’s very similar but nowhere near as good. I got it for free on playstation a while back and stopped playing it to go back and play the dead space remake again.

Oh that’s fun! Do you have a suitable amount of pun equivalents of your local shops and landmarks?

My previous game was Dresden files accelerated where we played in the late 90s version of our town. My players burned down the pub. It was a good laugh.

That sounds fun. We always play theatre of the mind with maybe some simple maps if there’s a lot going on.

I’m currently running a game of Spire the City must fall. Not been playing it long but already loving the characters my players have made. It’s a really dense setting so I’m running a module and keeping them mostly in a couple areas of the city to make things easier for me. The system is pretty interesting though I’d recommend it.

What are you playing? I hope it goes well.

Mid way through season 2. We’ve just had the one where Teal’c is turning into a bug.

We’re watching Stargate SG-1. Still great.

I have been playing a lot of Pacific Drive. Highly recommend it, I’m loving the vibes. Mostly chill with moments of panic.

That is one shifty looking owl.

I finally finished my play through of Dragon Age Inquisition. The game is right on the limit of not respecting my time. Fortunately you can ignore a lot of the content with no real loss. Decent story though the ending was a bit anticlimactic and you need to play the dlc to get what your companions get up to after the game which would have felt real bad on release.

I’ve been playing a lot of Dragon Age Inquisition recently. I dropped it the first time because I got stuck in the first area for days doing pointless side quests. It’s clicking a lot better this time. I’m doing the interesting side quests only and mostly focusing on the main story.

I saw Green Day live over the weekend, it was amazing!

Have you tried the ps5 controller? Genuinely my favourite thing about the ps5. The adaptive triggers and the haptics are so good. The battery life feels better too. That was my biggest complaint about the 4s especially compared to the ps3s, those lasted for weeks.

Good for you. I hope the move goes smoothly.

We had a lovely BBQ with friends over the weekend. Enjoyed the summer weather.
