My State of PlayStation viewing experience:

Ooh, Saros...I really gotta get my arse in gear and play Returnal.

Haha, Flight Simulator on PlayStation. Funny.

I really loved Heartworm by @adinolfi.bsky.social and its gorgeously retro-styled exploration of melancholy and grief in a well-designed survival horror package. (And the themes gave me a great excuse to talk about hiraeth!)

Finally got my copy of The Last of Us Complete Collector's Edition!

Which marks my fourth TLOU steelbook and third copy of American Dreams!

I'm a sucker for a steelbook!

The Last of Us Complete Collector's Edition contents: steelbook, hardcover copy of American Dreams, and art prints

Four art prints side by side: Ellie and Joel, Ellie and Joel on horseback, Ellie and Abby, and the environment in a clicker silhouette

The soft cover commercial version, individual paperback version from The Last of Us Part 1 Firefly Edition, and hardcover edition from The Last of Us Complete Collector's Edition side by side
