For the first time in over a year I've written an article.

My lack of attention for AI art.

OpenAPI should change their name back to Swagger because every time I talk about it people skim read the word and I think I am talking about OpenAI. I bet you just did it then too.

Love working at a company where the CEO is brave enough to say Trump is not a good idea.

I got pretty invested in Death Stranding 1 lore and when I watch the new trailer I am still like "wtf is happening."

Helps to have Japanese work colleagues who visit often.

I think Kojima should listen to Sleep Token. He’d rewrite the whole DS2 soundtrack if he did.

Another London work trip, another chance to get a Streetpass. Fingers crossed.

Found an extra pokewalker in my moving boxes. Nice surprise.

Modern gaming is so incredibly frustrating when you’ve not been online for a while. Updates, poor internet connections, it sucks. My son is sat here asking why it’s so slow.

We just put the PS1 on instead.

I just want to go out and runnnn

Holy shit I didn’t realise Chrono Trigger was this good

I love starting a new old game. Flicking through the manual, smelling the case, watching the intro cutscenes. We had it so good.

Did I really run 15km training for my half marathon if I forgot my Pokewalker? :(

Surely someone has calculated how many EVs Ash’s Pikachu has earned throughout the anime series?

In love with the Vagrant Story aesthetic. I believe if it was remastered it would lose a lot of charm. The PS1 graphics really enhance the style.

Some days I wake up and think "You know, I just want to browse a random old game magazine".

Snagged some Streetpass, a very DS game - Chrono Trigger, and another 3DS title for my collection.

Fun little quote from an article about the Pokemon craze from November 1999.

Genuinely more excited for Pokemon day than I was for Christmas. I feel like it’s gonna be a big one.
