We're inching towards *carrot in a box* season at an alarming rate.

The new game Dispatch, from former Telltale directors, is yet another 2025 indie banger. It's funny as heck, with top-notch writing and gorgeous art. I'm two episodes in and they're on par with Telltale's best work (aka: Tales from the Borderlands). And the cast, good lord!

The Seance Of Blake Manor is the most 'I'm going to adore this game, but now is really not the right time to play this' game I've played all year...

And I say that after trying and failing to get into Wuchang Fallen Feathers three times before it finally stuck.

I'll sleep when I'm dead....which is likely to brought on much sooner but I DON'T FUCKING SLEEP!

Poor discipline towards the end of the first, but that aside I thought Washington was the better teams for large portions of that game.

Flukey goal against and 3 shots coming back off the iron; them's the breaks.

Those penalties though. Rough

Planet Of The Apes. Yes the one with Marky Mark. I got that on DVD and a copy of some videogame that I've long since removed from my memory.

I've always had a soft spot for Spurs... until I started playing FPL.

Now fuck' em.

Daniel Holt @danielholt.bsky.social · 5d

Got Vicario in after Spurs had that great start. He did fuck all for me for 5 weeks.

Dumped him for Reya this week. Naturally he gets a CS. No worries though, Reya also got a CS right?

Lol. I left him on my Bench.

Clown show.

This Wolves team smashed my LCFC team by a combined 6-0 in their two Premier League games last season.

And this Wolves team looks like it might be one of the worst teams in PL history.

Yuck.

Another #MuOS update and another bout of anxiety about the fact that I've *still* not updated to the 'big' release from August.

I don't want to run the risk of losing all my ROMS, or having to set up Retroarch again...or lose my Scrapes or uuurgh.

Daniel Holt @danielholt.bsky.social · 5d

That was not a fun watch.

##AllCaps

Daniel Holt @danielholt.bsky.social · 6d

Damn we're shit aren't we?

Too many times in the last few seasons I've seen a random-hopeful punt up field cause far too much stress on our backline. They're just not good enough.

Daniel Holt @danielholt.bsky.social · 6d

If not for Thompson that game would have gotten real ugly, real fast.

#ALLCAPS

I've played through the first two episodes of #Dispatch and it's officially; I'm hooked.

The writing, the art, the music; it's all comes together to deliver a truly memorable experience. One that I've not had for, well potentially ever.

Let's hope they can keep the quality up across 8 episodes...

Daniel Holt @danielholt.bsky.social · 8d

I've spent the last two hours in bed playing on my Steamdeck. Absolutely adore the thing.

SCOOP: For the last two years, Microsoft has pushed Xbox to hit profit margins of 30%, an ambitious target that's far higher than the industry average.

This chase for profit has led Xbox to raise prices, cut thousands of jobs, and rethink everything.

Matt Murray confuses me.

It's like he was developed in a test tube to single-handedly stop arguably the two best #AllCaps teams ever from winning Stanley Cups in 16/17.

Then once his assignment was finished he turned into a slightly below average NHL goalie.

Wtf is that?

Daniel Holt @danielholt.bsky.social · 10d

Welp. Guess I'll use this time to sort the kids Christmas gifts out then.

#LCFC.

Daniel Holt @danielholt.bsky.social · 10d

Have you taken a look at #MegaBonk?

Daniel Holt @danielholt.bsky.social · 10d

I've been meaning to go back to it but for whatever reason, when I do find some free time I just don't.

Thinking about grabbing it on Deck because it just feels like that's the perfect platform for that sort of game.

My car insurance renewal came in at about 1/5 less than what I paid for it last year.

Amazing what happens when some asshole doesn't crash into your car whilst you're asleep for the second time in 2 years. Amazing.

Daniel Holt @danielholt.bsky.social · 11d

That first period was rough.

Aaaaat the same time I can't help but feel that Chucky should have had that first goal, and the second goal was a cluster-fuck which directly led to the third goal....and even with all that the guys nearly got it to OT.

Daniel Holt @danielholt.bsky.social · 12d

I have absolutely no idea how Leicester are sitting Fourth in the Championship table.

That second half was almost pathetic.

Daniel Holt @danielholt.bsky.social · 13d

Somehow #LCFC aren't the most mismanaged club in the East Midlands.

Daniel Holt @danielholt.bsky.social · 13d

How are we feeling about #BallXPit?

I played a few rounds last night and whilst I can see why some people adore it, I'm not sure if it's for me.

Hoping to go back to it for a little while tonight to see if the magic can rub off on me, but if it doesn't I've always got more #HadesII to bash through
