I mostly post about video games and Eurovision. My dream is to become an indie game developer (the plan is set!)

Who could have guessed that the administration that changed the Department of Defense to the Department of War is trying to start a war?!?!
Just finished Little Rocket Lab. As someone who liked the IDEA of Factorio more than actually playing it, LRL was a more accessible version packaged into a cute cozy format! My top 5 games of the year is going to be hard to pick 😭
I just finished "When to Jump" by Mike Lewis. A bit of survivorship bias at play with the stories, so keep that in mind! But as someone who is going to jump to give full time game dev a go in the next few months, it was a sanity check. I feel like I'm actually ready now, which is scary but exciting!
I think my husband spoke the Deus Ex remaster into existence 😅 he was just mentioning last week he was thinking of doing a replay and then it was announced yesterday. I've never played so I'm excited to give it a go when it comes out next year!
I'm glad I didn't hear about Discounty until I tried the demo during the latest Next Fest. It's been brutal enough waiting since June to play the full game 😅
Hyped for the Rollercoaster Tycoon speedrun on #SGDQ2025. Simulation games are one of my favorite genres and RCT was one of the first ones I played as a kid 😊
Somehow I missed Death Stranding 2 is a PS5 exclusive?? My husband and I are going to have to figure out a custody schedule to ensure equal time 😅
The organizers said more than 1750 came out today!
At the #NoKings rally in Midland MI. Hundreds turning out for democracy!

FINALLY! I normally don't play Early Access but I will make an exception for Paralives. Been following the development since the beginning in 2019. The trailer looks so good!

The #Eurovision results were STRESSFUL to say the least. ZERO points to Switzerland?!? Congratulations to Austria though!
Gearing up for the #Eurovision 2025 grand final! The one nice part about being in the US is that it's at 3pm instead of super late into the night 😅. I think it's going to be either Sweden, Finland, or Switzerland winning this year, but honestly it's SO open, maybe my fav Lithuania can take it! TAVO!
#Eurovision semi final 2 was way better than the first one 😅 Lost Australia but Lithuania and Latvia made it through so I'm happy!
The Irish Riverdance group also got famous from being an interval act at the 1994 Eurovision contest!
Just caught up on the semi final 1 of #Eurovision, gutted for Cyprus and Belgium! My spouse's favorite song was Croatia so we're feeling sad about that one too. Hopefully semi final 2 will be nicer to my favs!
Happy #Eurovision week! Locked in my top 10! I'll be working during the semis and will have to catch up after they get over with 😭
As a long time Shhh stan, I am living for this teaser!

This napkin holder at the Chinese Buffet is giving Severance vibes. Please try to enjoy all cuisines equally.
Now that all the Eurovision songs are released, I can start creating my top, I think it will move around a bit before May. Compared to 2024, the lineup is a bit weaker for me, but not as bad as some people are making it out to be 🤷 I'm enjoying the variety!
#EthnikosTelikos Barbz with Sirens was my favorite by far!
Exactly the noise I made when reading this after waking up
Eurofans hearing that Moldova has withdrawn from Eurovision 2025:
Sorry not sorry for voting for Euphoria in my top 10 #esc250 it's too good!
The Code 😁 #esc250 when I watched this in the arena during the 1st semi I KNEW this was going to win
Sorry never got the Zitti E Buoni love especially in a strong year like 2021. Happy for their success after the contest though! #esc250
