Blithering on about Games, Movies, TV and everything else that stumbles through my noggin. Oh, and I do doodles. Yeh, I be doodlin'
Trying to watch someone's Twitch livestream they've uploaded to YouTube is like trying to have a conversation with someone who keeps interrupting you so they can have a brief argument with their imaginary friend.

The new #NoMansSky update lines up a bunch of old expeditions. Can't remember which ones I've done and which I haven't so... yay?

Didn't mind the recent Voyagers update that introduced Corvettes. Nice idea, customisable ships. But, it's like "Would you like a new ship, too big to park anywhere?".

So, I've finished Power Wash Simulator 2 - it was fun in much the same way the first game was. A very chill experience.

Not a great deal of improvement. Might have been nice to have all the messages voiced, for instance.

So, cue the tidal wave of licensed themed DLC?

Having the same problems with 'The Outer Worlds 2' as with the original. I'm BORED!

Empty landscapes with very few points of interest spaced far apart (with very little of interest in them) and the odd smattering of bullet-spongey enemies. Story dull, humour flat. Just all-in-all a drab experience.

Will I wash a van in real life? Pfff! Nope. Will I spend ages meticulously hosing down a virtual van (and countless other things)? Yup!

PowerWash Simulator 2 is out and yeah, I'm back at it.

The first area in the original game really put me off but I went back, got hooked and suddenly sequel!

Another minor #NBA2K26 bug I forgot to mention - in MyTeam when you've opened a pack for a 'special' player and you get the TRON tunnel walk.

The framerate absolutely tanks in this section for some reason. Steam claims it's getting about 20fps (typically 120+ for me) but it looks closer to 3fps.

One thing I'm not loving about #NBA2K26 is the bugs.

Despite launch issues, I was lucky, it ran fine for me... until the recent patch. Since then it's been locking up mid-game. On a beautiful run, winning hands down and then *FREEZE*🤬🤬🤬

Another is not being able to challenge a foul call sometimes.

Close but no cigar award in #NBA2K26?

Yay! They gave the male cheerleaders new moves. Now they have more than the talent night breakdancing & posturing!

Boo! They gave the male cheerleaders some cringe TikTok dances. And they're clones (same mo-cap copy/pasted to all dancers)!

Swing and a miss.

Career mode in #NBA2K26? Yeah, it's okaaay. Jump straight into the league or play through the pre-amble, let the chips fall where they may or push for your fav team.

MP? They play him like he's got a chip on his shoulder, but honestly, he's *ALL CHIP*. One bad day away from a manifesto, seriously.

Further thoughts on #NBA2K26 - single player is fun, feels more fluid. Can't speak to online play. MyCareer forces a training game on you. Went badly, connection not great.

2K scientists still haven't developed skip-Halftime-show technology. Don't care what you're paying Shaq, need it for #NBA2K27

Microsoft : We're so awesome, we're increasing your GamePass sub to £23.

Me : Like f*&k you are!

Microsoft GamePass -----> 🗑️

Been playing #NBA2K26 ('cos I'm weak) and sure, it feels like a step up. Growing to like metered shots and boy, is the title screen a step up.

NO forced 2KTV! Doesn't look like a basketball-themed M.C.Escher hellscape. No 'pop-ups'! Dynamic. I'll even forgive the gross Steph Curry guard chew!

What if the rapture happens and nobody qualified? It'd come and go without anyone noticing.

The City? Folks, it's fine if you just call it a 'neighbourhood' again. A 3-legged plaza ain't a 'city'.

Loved the first 'Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines'. A quirky RPG with good replayability through the clans. I was excited when the sequel was announced. Initially...

It's finally coming but I won't be bothering. Primarily action focussed and carving out clans as DLC has left a sour taste. Nah.
August 23, 2025 at 9:30 PM
I wonder if one of the 'many' improvements in #NBA2K26 will be fixing the bug that's been in the current game's entire lifetime where it randomly decides it won't let you exit MyTeam. Jamming the button to quit and nothing happens!🤬🤬🤬

Gave Oblivion Remastered a bash (thanks Game Pass). It's very pretty but it's beat for beat and I while I liked the original, I loathed the copy/pasteness of the Ayleid ruins, and Oblivion gates? Yawn!

But it put me in the mood for absolutely-content-modded-up-the-wazoo Skyrim SE, so there's that.🥳

Hey Microsoft / Game Pass, my confidence in your ability to handle cloud storage of game saves ain't exactly sky high (pun intended) when you ask me stuff like this...

Why the 'Welcome to 2025, pal!' pro-AI people sound like utter morons.

Just finished watching Apple TV+'s #Murderbot finale. Overall, really enjoyed it. Quirky, funny & great cast. Happy to hear it's renewed for a second season, but...

THE EPISODES ARE TOO DARN SHORT!

It's a 5ep show in a 10ep container. Strip the intro/recap/end-credits, they're barely webisodes!

In a surprise move, developers of #NBA2K25, Visual Concepts and publishers 2K have finally announced the name of the follow-up sequel to the sports video game of baskets and balls.

They've settled on #NBA2K26. More news as it develops.
July 9, 2025 at 8:46 PM
Okay, so we *might* notice the change...

Nov 2022, Netflix renewed Manifest for a final 4th season and as I'd never given the show a fair shake, it was a great time to rewatch the whole thing, right?

Wrong! They had seasons 1, 2 and 4 but were missing season 3! Wuh? Gnnh? Ehh?

Anyhoo, it's 2025 and they've *finally* added season 3! 😵‍💫

Instant "Don't Recommend This Channel" clicks on YouTube...

* AI thumbnails
* "The XYZ iceberg explained..."
* "I spent 100 days..."
* Gurning 'reaction face' thumbnails
* Meme-ery
* 10hr+ videos, 'lo-fi beats', etc.

Get in the bin, all of you!🤬🗑️☠️
