Got really drunk last night and grabbed a maccas apple pie at midnight and it's almost like I'm there at PAX

Got a high score of 102 points in my sick review of Silent Hill f, obviously a higher score is ideal

Here you go, my review of Silent Hill f! Yes, it's CYOA.

Just sitting on the toilet spiralling out of control because if I start a regular run now I'll have to finish it before the daily resets in 10 minutes and if I don't start a Slay the Spire game soon I'm just gonna keep posting about pooping

Joaby @joabyjojo.com · 6d

Here's my annual complaint that because of daylight savings the Slay the Spire daily no longer neatly aligns with my mid morning BM

As the resident Queenslander I can now answer any sports questions people, seeing how I'm obviously an expert

"Oh you just have to watch a clip" and they tee up a video where some nobody is trying to *hilariously* make their hair grow quickly

Joaby @joabyjojo.com · 7d

"it's the funniest show I can't explain it you just have to watch it but trust me" yeah I don't think so you once described Johnnie Walker Blue as the best whisky of all time

Joaby @joabyjojo.com · 7d

I dunno big fella I don't know what I know about the fucking show. Here's what I know. People are given mundane tasks and they do them and ??? it's the funniest show of all time.

Joaby @joabyjojo.com · 8d

Everyone who tells you to watch Taskmaster goes "it's 5 washed up comedians and a guy who tells them to do things and they have to do them" and you go "right i must not be getting it, give me an example" and they will say "ok well not this but like maybe they have to eat the most olives"

One Battle After Another is pretty good. Really puts in perspective why Fox News is always banging on about the War on Christmas

Joaby @joabyjojo.com · 9d

I very much want to play through it again to see what else it does, but I hate the combat more than Hinako hates [redacted] and also I don't have time.

Joaby @joabyjojo.com · 10d

lmao the very first cutscene in Silent Hill f NG+ dramatically recontextualises the entire fucking game

I actually did this the other day and it was sad I liked all my cooking friends imagine boiling your sourdough starter because some spoon obsessed goon on the internet incepted you with the idea

Serrels @serrels.bsky.social · 12d

This motherfucker don't miss.

I like starting a radio with the Ghostface Killah remix of You Know I'm No Good and watching as the algorithm goes from Adele to Raekwon

Joaby @joabyjojo.com · 14d

Has anyone investigated how Simply Red made the worst songs you can't help but sing

Joaby @joabyjojo.com · 15d

Ahhh 2025, when all my gravest fears keep coming true

Saw Spinal Tap II last night. The original This is Spinal Tap is my favourite movie, but the sequel is like one of those “look at these old legends saying their quotes and shit” Super Bowl commercials for an insurance company stretched out to 75 minutes

Joaby @joabyjojo.com · 16d

The base game is incredible, you'll definitely get hooked.

after the fuckin scarecrow field it's gonna take me 15 years to finish silent hill f. I was sorta ok with it until i realised some of them were moving when i wasn't looking at them.

And that's A20H Ironclad done! 5 attempts, every run made it to Act 4, Ironclad is easy. Defect took more attempts than Ironclad, Silent and Watcher combined.

Slay the Spire screenshot. The Ironclad end screen after it kills the heart.

Slay the Spire screenshot. The Victory screen.

Slay the Spire screenshot. The vital statistics of the run. Time 66 minutes. 24 relics. 32 cards.
