The best narrative-driven CRPG in the last 25 years.
They grew up on the same games I did 80 kilometers to the north in Finland. I first visited Tallinn in 1994 when the ghost of the Soviet Republic was still soaked in there deep. Impossible to not feel that connection with this game.

"He will not hear of the small mean ways that tempered the man in life. He will not see him struggling in follies of his own devising. No. The world which he inherits bears him false witness. He is broken before a frozen god and he will never find his way."

Xbox $360 a year. It used to be the best deal in gaming on PC.

Just beat Silksong without having discovered there *is* double jump in the game... I thought they had replaced that with just the grappling hook. That explains some of the painful platforming towards the end.

Steam notified me that there is a firmware update available for my DualSense controller. It can now be paired with multiple devices at once.

It's honestly wild to me that a five year old console is getting both more expensive and less capable over time. Why is Europe paying more? To offset losses from US tariffs?
PS5 Digital Edition consoles are reportedly getting a quiet storage downgrade.

I'm really happy that Sony has still kept PS Vita and PS3 stores open for time being, despite having to jump through hoops to add funds to the wallet. I hope they stay open for a long time.
I want to buy games legally, keeping this door open has allowed me to do just that.

Bought Keychron K2 HE SE, a 75% keyboard with magnetic (hall effect) switches.
Incredibly responsive. Very good for both typing and gaming. I’m still not quite sure about the 75%, though — I realize I’ve been taking right shift being directly under the enter key for granted.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Been enjoying the Switch 2. Four more finished games over the first month.
Replaying Zelda games in Japanese has been excellent language practise.
Link's Awakening & Echoes of Wisdom really sing on the new switch.
Voice memories add so much lore in BotW.

Ready to call Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 my GOTY.
A French JRPG. The characters, the vistas, the music... Not derivative despite familiar elements.
Tiny team leveraging UE5 to the max. I really hope this starts a trend: tight, focused teams being able to create uncompromising art.

Thank you for believing in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. This has been surreal.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.
Good trade.
