53 year old Scottish bampot. Bollocks to Kvatch. Growing old is compulsory, growing up isn't. Let's all do our half-arsed best!
I mostly ramble about video games, weird old TV shows and movies.

Play whatever game you like on whatever system you like. You are a gamer. Are you enjoying yourself? Good. In the end, that's all that matters.
Ok, ordered an M2 SSD because with half the ones on my wishlist suddenly becoming unavailable apart from sellers with a 80-120% markup, wasn't going to wait until the 1st. Got my second choice, which was fifty quid more than my first choice and seventy quid more than it was at beginning of November.

Got first half of Steam winter sale binge bought, as waiting until I've sucessfully ordered a new M2 SSD before buying the rest because *waves hand at random stock availability and price rises*
Mostly all the tables I didn't already have for Pinball FX and Zaccaria Pinball plus a few odds and ends.

Good look at some of the best shmups of the year, most of which I either already have or will be picking up tomorrow. Great stuff.

SSD I was going to order now saying "delivery 6 February - 22 May" Fucking brilliant. Fuck AI and all who ride in on it. Looking at an extra fifty quid to get a different one now.

Finally, aftet two years and five months, Trouble Witches Final is finally available outside Japan. Was meant to be out beginning of September, but got delayed two months, then a two week wait after release for my pre-order to arrive. Was worth it though, great version of a fun shmup.

Yeah, this makes sense since replayed through the stories of a few favourite Lego games and have now started replaying them from the start, done LEgo Star wars Complete sage and halfway through Indiana Jones right now, as well as restarting Skywalker saga on PC.

Outside of half-a-dozen big titles on PS5, bern gaming in PC a lot. Switch has hardly been used this year outside a few retro collections and shmups, most of which I have on PC now.

I would have been out as soon as I knew it was going to be turn based, but today's AI stuff and shitty hiring practices got to me before that. *waves goodbye* Don't squat and take a shit in the middle of the table and expect people to stay and enjoy their meal.

Sadly didn't make it to the cinema tonight, had low blood sugar that was fine by time to head out, felt a bit fatigued but got halfway to front door of block of flats and decided I just wasn't up to it so headed back. I'll be sticking the 4K of The Thing on after I've cooked supper.
