Thank you my friend for the shout out (thank Travis also for your kind acknowledgement.) A tad embarrassed actually that i never in all these years became a supporter having watched virtually every video. Pleased to have changed that today.

I kinda knew that would be your reaction😁
I want to lean into a ranged, magic build when i next return. I feel close range combat was a huge weakness for me. I really want to try and get to the stage where i can unlock the expansion regions (so defeating Mohg which i could never manage.)

I've tried Lies of P more than once, each time progressing further but never feeling it enough to fully embrace the game world and narrative, which are both important to my gameplay. Sounds like it's finally resonated with you though. Enjoy.
(Going to try Elden Ring again soon on my PS5 this time.)

I considered waiting as i had a couple of hundred hours on Xbox and wasn't sure if i would enjoy the campaign and previous expansion again as a new playthrough. Turns out it's huge fun on the Pali. Definitely enjoying my time.

When i got my PS5 and started turning to this for more of my gaming, i purchased Diablo 4 to start a new journey - but never started. So, with the new Paladin, i am now easing my way towards the stage where i can work towards paragon points. Always the grind i enjoy.
Enkoy your three-day weekend.

Great minds (you know the rest.) Having recently moved, reorganising, and revamping, the countertops was one of the first jobs i needed to attend to. Everything has it's place and all is now good.

Bailey's and a variety of white wines in our household good sir - only a partial spirit within the licquer but it counts as my yearly visit.

Perfect timing for after i have met my wife from work and walked her home, settled down with an iced Bailey's ( no beers/lagers for me) and begin to embrace the festivities. A fantastic Christmas gift and looking forward to watching.

I have never really had a chance to chat with you because you are very popular and respected, and hugely busy, so many messages can go unnoticed. But, as the aging guardian, and gamer overall that i am, i have an abundance of appreciation for your lore content, and discussions. Merry Christmas.

I have always been of the thinking that i only need enough clothes for the required changes in a day/week. Have never purchased clothing just for the sake of it or to have something new. (My wife on the other hand has to clear out her wardrobe more than once a year - charity shops love her😁)
