I wanted a #dragonage tattoo for years. Something not instantly recognizable though & the red lyrium dagger from #veilguard "spoke" to me. I'm corrupted myself 🤪 so I decided it's a good fit for my first tattoo. And yes, I'm already planning for a few more 🤣 I'm extremely happy with the result

A - Heck no (In my canon run)! But I did in another PT. Such a hard choice 🥲 at least for me it feels a bit easier to leave a mage Hawke in the fade, cause I always think if anyone finds a way to make their way out of the fade it would be Hawke. 😄

747,440 peak players for launch day on PC alone for #Battlefield is MASSIVE.

Congratulations to the developers on the successful launch of Battlefield 6. 🔥

Fingers crossed they'll be able to keep up the momentum.

After a bit of a break I jumped back into my current Veilguard PT and battled some dragons.

B - Witch Hunt for me and it's not even close. 👀

Unpopular opinion: I enjoyed the first 3 seasons of The Witcher. Yes, I really did.

I think this trailer is fun & yes, it's a shame Henry is missing, but first impression of Liam is fine. I'll give him a shot. Besides, I'm in it for Yennefer anyway. ❤️

I'm looking forward to the new episodes! 🥳

Hey. Hey yous. C'mere.

Listen, you know that nice price you got on that there Xbox Game Pass Ultimate? Yeah, well, listen here, see.

It'd be a shame if something were to happen to that price, wouldn't it.

So, uh, just between yous and me, you better be sure to keep paying that, capeesh?

Just went to the cinema for a 2nd time to watch Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale again 🙊 first time since... Lord of the Rings (? 🤣) I went to a cinema a second time to watch the same movie on the big screen again.

And yes, I will be rewatching it more than a 100 times when I have the Blu-ray 😆

Every few months there are rumors that Xbox will exit the hardware market, but this announcement was 3 months ago and I (my opinion) do expect them to continue releasing dedicated gaming hardware.

It just won't be the closed ecosystem boxes like we've seen before.

if you're writing a sentence that sounds like eugenics but you go "oh that's fine to say because it's not a real person" (whatever that means) you may want to consider what made you okay with saying that

Oh yeah, definitely 😄 while I still enjoy to watch all episode of each show, I kinda have a definitive track of episodes I rewatch if I want to serialize the shows a bit more for me. And in Voyager Threshold is a definite episode to skip for me. 😆

You're clearly of great taste. 👑 My favorite Trek show is Voyager, because it's what really turned me into a Trekkie (I love all of it now, old and new. And Seven of Nine was a massive part of realizing my own gayness 😂), but I consider DS9 to be the best.

I'm a Trekkie myself & I LOVE Babylon 5. ❤️ It's a shame the follow-up projects never took off the same way. While only one season, watch "Crusade", it takes place shortly after Babylon 5. There is also a direct to DVD production of Babylon 5: The Lost Tales.

Enjoy the rest of this amazing show!

I always joke I'd make a good undercover conservative, even right-wing, growing up in a very conservative & rural area being instilled with prejudice & whatnot. (It's a surprise in itself how I turned out so differently... 😅) But with each passing the day the joke becomes less funny & more scary ☠️

Thank you for reading my non-ted-rant. I'm so over this planet at the moment and just want to scream. Mostly at Nazis and the people voting for the because they need to be screamed at.

time to ignore it. And it's important to stay informed. But boy oh boy it is depressing, exhausting & infuriating. And on top of that, Rapture (🤣) didn't happen. Like with all the shit going on, why couldn't we at least have received the mercy of being rid of all these brainless religious idiots 🫠

Germany continues to poll around 25% in the regular polls checking on the political climate. In some states the right-wing Nazi party even polls as high as 39%. I just don't understand why everything continues to go to shit. On the one hand I want to flee this reality, on the other this is not the
