Trying to play Pokémon Goita on my old Android. (I have no idea what I'm doing, to be completely honest.) #Pokemon #Japan

How time flies! The Black Rayquaza Tera Raid Battle event in Pokémon Scarlet/Violet was one year ago. (Thank you to Facebook Memories for reminding me.) #Pokemon

Met Sylvester McCoy 10 years ago today, at Mumbai Comic Con. One of the only two Doctor Who celebrities I've had the pleasure of meeting. (The other celebrity being Mark Gatiss.) I got his autograph too… I asked him to sign to both myself and my ex-girlfriend. #DoctorWho

My new Lumectra controller for Nintendo Switch / Nintendo Switch 2 from PowerA is here. This is the ‘Wake up, Link’ variant of the controller. Ain’t it beautiful? 🥹

Used the online tool pokecardmaker(.)net to design a custom Pokémon TCG card based on myself using @avisraveni.bsky.social's illustration from earlier this year.

I tried to pack in as many physics references as I could. How many can you identify or spot?

Caught a female Alpha Pikachu, gave her my Master Ball to hold, nicknamed her "Missy" (short for "Mistress"), and then deposited her in one of my PC boxes. No way I'm making the mistake of accidentally using my Master Ball to catch a lv. 2 'Mon in the wild. 😳

Got these beautiful Pokémon TCG-themed ornaments 3D-printed for my Christmas Tree. (I gotta get Water and Grass re-printed.) What do you guys and gals think?

New essay (fancy word, I know) about some recent observations I've made about the Pokémon series, in light of the release of Mega Dimension, the newly-released DLC expansion for Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

Created a dedicated non-Pokémon, non-Nintendo video-game-based playlist on Apple Music. So far, I've got tracks from Hitman, Professor Layton, Bayonetta, Ori and the Blind Forest, Tetris, and Octopath Traveler. (Hope to add Ace Attorney/Ghost Trick music soon.)

My movie watch-list for 2026 is growing at a steady speed.

For those of us who love both listening to Doctor Who music and playing Nintendo games, I just realised that you can't really say "Vale" (Latin for 'Farewell', I believe) without saying "Wah" first. An unintended abomination of a crossover between Doctor Who 'n Nintendo that should've never existed.

Played Tetris Effect: Connected today for the first time in a very long time. I only played one round. How'd I do? Did I clear enough lines to make comrade Pajitnov proud?

I just wanted my friend to see the game's presentation.

We also played Marvel Cosmic Invasion.

In less than 25 minutes, it'll be December 12 in India. 12/12. The Doctor Who fans will have finally vanquished Eternity.

Seven years ago… the crossover to end all crossovers (including Infinity War & Endgame) dropped.

Every time a new Nintendo Direct was announced during those otherwise colourless days of my life, I'd always get excited thinking about seeing a new 3DCG cinematic for Smash Bros.

Thought I'd share this. A better look at my new satchel and my Pokémon charm that I bought in a mall in Odaiba that I attached to it.

It's also what I carry my Pokéwalker in these days.

I've said I before, and I'll say it again. Cyrus, leader of Team Galactic, loved quasars before it was cool. Sorry, Quasartico Inc. and Pokémon Legends: Z-A fans. 😳

Also… unpopular opinion… but… Pokémon BDSP is beautiful. 🥹

I'm going on an adventure! Dressed as Waldo. 😄

Why, yes. My favourite colour is red. How did you know? 😅

And yes, that's indeed the Pokémon charm or whatever-you-wanna-call-it that I got from a shop in Odaiba. 👀

Just finished work on a new Doctor Who arrangement. I just created my own unique interpretation of the title theme itself. Would anyone here be interested in listening?

'The Super Mario Bros. Movie' and 'Transformers One'. Easily my two best Blu-rays. And easily the two best 4K UHD Blu-rays to exist, ever! (Both sets short on extras and the like, though.)

'Ludography', which is a relatively new term used to refer to a list of games a person has worked on, is slowly becoming a legitimate word, like the words filmography, discography, and bibliography. This makes me very happy, as a fan of video games.

Thought I’d post about this again (assuming I haven’t posted about it before). Here are my Pokémon Black 2 Hall of Fame records. The first one and the latest one—over 10 years apart! (Yes, it’s the exact same save file.)

Insane, right?
