What was the first game you remember playing?

Mine was a slightly obscure game called Castles II when I was about 5. My dad had bought a PC with MS-DOS and I used to watch him play, then try it myself. Of course, I was hopeless (and still am! The game is on Steam now).

2am 😭 Whyyyy.

Hah, same. I restarted 1 once I realised how close 2 was. I almost finished it on Game Pass back when it came out, but got stuck in a place near the end where I just kept dying every time I reloaded and gave up.

Planning on it! I really liked the demo. Waiting till payday tomorrow to treat myself to some of the deals, too. Picking up this, Sea of Stars (started on Game Pass PC but cancelled it after the second ridiculous price hike), and Chained Echoes.

I went there last week, too. It was awesome! Definitely one of my favourite TeamLabs exhibitions of all the ones I've been to here.

I so hope she wins tomorrow so I can watch her in the semis on the weekend, and hopefully the final on Sunday! First time she's played here since I've been able to watch in Tokyo. 🤞

Bennet87AO3 🏳️‍🌈 @bennet87ao3.bsky.social · 1d

Ah, damn. I'll be in bed by then 😂 Tomorrow it is!

Bennet87AO3 🏳️‍🌈 @bennet87ao3.bsky.social · 1d

Oh, it's out already? I didn't get a notification even though I wishlisted it after playing the demo. On it!

Well, now I feel ancient. 😂

I remember getting it for Christmas as a teen and playing it at my Nan's house. She was mortified when I beat up and elderly lady (who I thought was a younger man lol). Her elderly friend thought it was hilarious haha.

'Grand Theft Auto 3' released 24 years ago today

Ahh, Oxenfree! I know so few people who have played that. I loved those games, especially the first.

Ah, Camden Market. Where everywhere smells like weed (or at least used to) 😂

Bennet87AO3 🏳️‍🌈 @bennet87ao3.bsky.social · 2d

Just got on the bus to realise I left my breakfast and breaktme snacks indoors (in a bag by the front door as I put my shoes on). 😑

I usually eat breakfast before I leave for work but today I was running late.

Today's going to be a great day, I can tell...

Chips? On my fry up?? Instead of bubble and squeak??? 😂

Jokes aside, it looks great! I've never thought of using chorizo instead. That's genius.

Right?? I'd appreciate a gentler transition period, thank you 😂 I think it's part of why I found it so hard to get out of bed this morning. It was just too cold.

Bennet87AO3 🏳️‍🌈 @bennet87ao3.bsky.social · 2d

No, I am too! It's freezing. I love wearing my hoodies but this is a sharp drop in temperature compared with just a couple of weeks ago. 🥶

Wow, the Mass Effect Legendary Edition is 92% off on Steam at the moment. What a goddamn bargain for over 100 hours of epicness. If I could, I'd buy it all over again. 😂

Man, you missed out on the best Mass Effects. 🥲

Oh man, are you in for a treat with those. Especially Mass Effect. Best gaming trilogy IMO.

I've only ever completed Infinite. I've tried 1 a few times but always end up dropping it pretty early on. I think it's a little too eerie for me. 😅

Bennet87AO3 🏳️‍🌈 @bennet87ao3.bsky.social · 3d

Almost none of the Zelda games (except BotW, which bored me after 20-odd hours and I never completed it). Never had a Nintendo console growing up, only PC and PlayStation.

Bennet87AO3 🏳️‍🌈 @bennet87ao3.bsky.social · 3d

I have sensory issues and it really got to me. I was hoping the ojiisan next to me would do the stereotypical thing and tell her to shut it up, but he didn't 😂

Fingers crossed you get a roast before you leave! I miss a good roast so much (seeing a pattern here 😂).

I'm still desperately hoping they come to Tokyo but no news yet. 😭

Okay, but the side quest + area for the Spider Lily armour is one of the best in the game IMO, so worth it. I stumbled across it as I entered the region and loved it. So creepy.

Excuse you? 67? How is he older than my parents??
