Absolutely thrilled to say that Aaron (@waarontear.bsky.social) finally got engaged!

He only went and made a whole RPG full of our in-jokes and references over the last 8 years, and after beating the final boss I was rewarded with this lovely proposal. Very us 🥹

How do I reprogram my brain to stop thinking Irn Bru (sugar free) is default hydration and water is the special treat I force myself to have when I'm feeling jittery?

I was in Barcelona and didn't know about the Lightning model thing and was scrumt a scream when I saw her in the window of designer shops 🤣

Who taught gymfluencers the phrase "calorie deficit" because it has made the internet even more unbearable than usual

Got on chat to Google support yesterday because my Pixel 10 Pro keeps showing the weather app on my full screen when it's locked and the troubleshooting didn't fix it, and the clearly AI customer support agent was no help, I just want the weather app gone, and then I realised I literally became this

If you ever think my utter contempt towards gacha is overblown remember that 15 years ago this would've been a delightfully mid PSP game with fun extra costumes for your favorite characters and now it's designed to get teenagers addicted to the slot machine in their phone.

Oh my god I knew this felt familiar 🤣

Probably my first time in memory I've not had the new Pokémon game on release day - I really want it but can't justify *another* game right now, I have about 6 on the go at the moment between Silksong, Hades 2, FF Tactics and some others I was flirting between recently. There aren't enough hours!

Sometimes friends say it's hard to tell the difference between me and Gemini these days, idk how Instagram rumbled me

Dave Obscur @daveyblahblah.bsky.social · 1d

The art style is nice at least but everything else is a miss

For the second time this year I seem to be banned from following anyone new on Instagram? The error message I get is that "some people prefer to review followers manually" which the internet agrees is a fake message disguising that you've been marked as a bot and can't follow new people 😭

I think there's the odd chapter where he's writing about a tangential character that might dip into that as sort of real-time observational stuff but otherwise I can't think of any instances of it.

Dave Obscur @daveyblahblah.bsky.social · 1d

Well, the art style of Dissidia Duellum is cool. And now we move on.

The balancing of FOMO with CBA is an eternal battle you will never win

Optimistically, does this mean they won't be trying to please shareholders anymore and can tone down the aggressive ads and monetisation? 👀

Finished the latest Thursday Murder Club book and...meh? I was enjoying the middle but it all resolved with a giant shrug of the shoulders?

Feel there were quite a few missed moments. Not least of all that Joyce laments that she hasn't contributed anything to the mystery and then...never does?

Xbox's plan seemed to be a platform more than a console. There was something Phil Spencer said about a vision for having Gamepass on Switch and PlayStation or something. "Give us your money and we'll help you play anything anywhere" but I'm not sure that's materialising

I can accept that skinny jeans are out of fashion but did we really have to replace them with those hideous baggy cargos with forty seven pockets all down the legs

Sorry, Tactics outsold Silksong? 👀

Do you know what, all power to him 🤣

Anyway just another day of people who have never lived a life of being fat not being able to fathom how anyone could possibly live a life in which they might not be exercising regularly and me feeling like I'm the problem again

To him, 2 weeks off the gym is anathema, unheard of, bad for body and soul. In my mind there is nothing I wanted to do less while on holiday or feeling poorly than making myself hot and sweaty. It is the first thing to go when I'm not feeling 100%. And it's *how* they feel 100%. Really worlds apart

Been off the gym for 2 weeks, between London for Gaga and then a week of illness. And my CrossFit coach's response this morning when I said I'd been off was to exclaim "two weeks?!" and it has sent me spiralling because gym-fit people really don't get what life is like for normies do they

Dissidia was great until it went live service, and it immediately bombed.

Pretty much every SE mobile titles bombs, or has a short shelf life.

But sure, I'm certain Dissidia Mobile is going to do it. 👍😬
