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.
I'm six movies into Lego Skywalker Saga on PC. Trying to concentrate on doing the story and not getting sidetracked into what is still my favourite game for feeling like I'm just mucking about in a living Star Wars universe. (I do have Outlaws, but not started it yet)

I've still a bunch of side stuff to polish off once all the holiday events have finished everywhere else, looking forward to the first expansion too.

And yes, apart from the two big games it's mostly been smaller, often indie games, with Warframe being a constant and a Fortnite resurgence for a couple of months. Plus lots of old Lego games and I have a decade plus backlog, so slowly getting on with that.

Yes, it's a top eleven. Silver Bullet sneaked up on me end of the year and I didn't want to take any of the other out. So *blows raspberry*

Megabonk is a fun take on Vampire Survivors but full 3d. Neon Inferno is a fantastic Contra/Wild Guns run'n'gunner. Sektori is a challenging and brilliant twin-stick shooter. Silver Bullet is a spooky take on Cabal/Blood Bros with a lovely souped up NES style.

I, Robot is Jeff Minters take on the classic Atari arcade game. Marvel Cosmic Alliance is like the sequal to the X-Men arcade game we never got. Ball X Pit is an insanely addictive rogue lite mixing Arkanoid with twin-stick shooter. Absolum is an amazing brawler with rogue like aspects.

Next mid-sized release is Lumines Arise, I played so much Lumines 1 & 2 on my PSP and after going on to make Tetris Effect they've come full circle and applied that style to Lumines and it is awesome.

1378, to be fair, I've had the account for over twenty-one years. :)

Only took half-an-hour in the end, the estimated time was complete bollocks as usual 🤪

Leaving stuff transferring between drives while I have a snack and try to relax with some silly YouTube videos.

But it is done, basically I needed to remove the graphics card to get to the motherboard M2 slot, the tiny screws on that were beyond my ability to easily deal with and getitng the last screw to hold the graphics card in place was a nightmare of fumbling before blind luck got it in. It all works.

Disk cloning going to take an hour, so I'll leave that going while I cook and have my tea.

I own 2/3rds of these on mostly Switch with one on PS5 and a couple on XBox 360, but this is nearing the end of consolidating as much as I can onto PC.
