I finished my re-read of #aknightofthesevenkingdoms last night, and so it's time to move onto my second read of 2026.
This time I'm going back to nonfiction with #asoundsoveryloud, which is a book that 'tells the story of every Oasis song ever recorded'.

Well I tweaked, I fiddled and I eventually gave up.
I cannot get through a cutscene without the game dropping to single-digit frames and that's just the damn cut-scenes.
Apparently it gets worse from here as well, with the final level being a ridiculous mess of skipping frames and texture […]

First day alone without atleast one child with me for four years....
I had a casual stroll around the local Aldi to get the weekly shop. I read for two hours and enjoyed zero noise and two cups of tea. I played two hours of Steamdeck in my bed and now I'm just chilling out before I go get the […]

I've had to abandon my playthough of #deliverusthemoon because I found the Steamdeck's performance to be (basically) unplayable.
It started well enough, I was getting a steady 45FPS at medium/high settings but as we progress through the game it started to chug...
I knocked it down to the […]

Love my kids to the end of the world but I'm not gonna lie, I've been waiting for tomorrow for four years...
Both the youngest and eldest will be at nursery/school for the full day. I'll be dropping them off at 9 and won't have to move a finger until 3 when I pick them up. No kids. No work […]

My eldest has started (and nearly completed) #supermarioodyssey on her own.
She's never shown much interest in Mario, but she's totally enraptured by this game and I'm here for it.
I originally played the game before she was born, but it's really nice to see it getting a new play though by […]

I started playing #bringusthemoon last night on my Steamdeck. It's a...well a puzzle-adventure-walking-simulator type thing set in space/the Moon. Through the first hour or so I'm really into it.
We'll see how it handles it's story progression, because that is definitely its main hook so far.

Low-key one of the saddest parts of leaving 2025 behind for me is that I think we're basically saying goodbye to #bluey.

I consider it a successful NYEve if we get through the night without the kids waking up because of the fireworks. And by that metric, last night was a success.
Now to get ready for what will hopefully be a short day at work.

I personally cannot wait to watch my Washington Capitals get stomped in a NY Eve afternoon game against arguably my most disliked rival.

Grabbed two more books, this time on my ereader.
A Sound So Very Loud is an #oasis book that I'm probably going to make my first book of '26 and In The Artic Seas is a book about the expedition that uncovered the horrors of the failed Franklin expedition of 1845.

I've inadvertently watched like four straight episodes of #keepingupappearances and you know what? This shit is even better than I remember from my childhood.
It's occasionally corny, and definitely targeted at an older demographic but damn if it's not funny; laugh track and all.

Grabbed #babysteps, #wanderstop, #therottreesaredead and #sektori in the Steam Sale.
Basically I use the Winter sale to mop up some games I wanted to look at but didn't get a chance to.
I'll take a look at these and then depending on how they land, get around to my year end GOTY list.

The Tamogotchi I got my daughter has been a member of our family for roughly three hours now.
I've already muted the damn thing, consigning it to a slow (but) quiet death. Good riddance.
Fuck, I can't remember these things being as aggressively annoying when I was a kid.

So I was playing #heartworm and I died. The game threw me back a solid 15 minutes aaaand that's the end of that.
Not a fault of the game, that's it's entirely 'thing' but I do not have that sort of time.
Spent an hour on Clone Hero instead.
