No grifters as YouTube/social media didn't exist, I could just pick and play a game without someone forcing politics down my throat.

Adeptus Criticus @adeptus-criticus.bsky.social · 5d

Definitely is great fun.

Adeptus Criticus @adeptus-criticus.bsky.social · 5d

I still need to pick 1st chapter up. I keep seeing so many good things about it though which is great to see.

Adeptus Criticus @adeptus-criticus.bsky.social · 11d

I did the same with Hades 2 bought it in early access and then waited for the full release well worth it so far in my opinion.

Well worth the wait for when you do get round to it, Doom The Dark Ages for me is my game of the year so far but then it is my favourite franchise.

Adeptus Criticus @adeptus-criticus.bsky.social · May 16

I have the same dislike but for Leicester.

Adeptus Criticus @adeptus-criticus.bsky.social · May 14

Yes they sure did, but they tend always cook with collectors editions for Doom. The Revenant Demon that game with Doom 2016 and the Helmet that came with Eternal and now this Statue for Dark Ages. But I do want the shield.

Adeptus Criticus @adeptus-criticus.bsky.social · May 13

I am having a blast, just used the mech for the first time as well.

Adeptus Criticus @adeptus-criticus.bsky.social · May 13

One of the many reasons I grateful for the NHS they do have their moments but mostly because they are understaffed and over worked.

Adeptus Criticus @adeptus-criticus.bsky.social · May 13

Brilliant album.

Adeptus Criticus @adeptus-criticus.bsky.social · May 13

I was talking about Mighty Max with a colleague just yesterday, I remember it also had a cartoon series which I think had about 40 episodes if memory serves me correctly.

Adeptus Criticus @adeptus-criticus.bsky.social · May 13

Just getting a quick game in myself before work, half way through the opening level at the moment.

Adeptus Criticus @adeptus-criticus.bsky.social · May 13

Doom The Dark Ages before work, you can tell I have my priorities in order haha. But damn what an opening for my what is my anticipated game of the year. #Bethesda #Idsoftware #Doomthedarkages
