I wanted a #dragonage tattoo for years. Something not instantly recognizable though & the red lyrium dagger from #veilguard "spoke" to me. I'm corrupted myself 🤪 so I decided it's a good fit for my first tattoo. And yes, I'm already planning for a few more 🤣 I'm extremely happy with the result

I'm overwhelmed by new games/shows.A lot I've been looking forward to recently released or is about to: Battlefield, Crusader Kings Add-On, Anno 117, S4 of The Witcher, Drag Race. But it's so much at once that I'm unable to engage & instead watch Downton for the 1000th & play old games for comfort 🫠

A - For sure, I'm always in for more DA

Alexander Schneider 🏳️‍🌈 @jannlee360.bsky.social · 17h

Oh, that would've been a great callback!

B - DA2/DAI

Alexander Schneider 🏳️‍🌈 @jannlee360.bsky.social · 17h

D - Lucanis. IMO (love Teia & Viago) the Crows were displayed as way too nice & good. It didn't really sit well with me, considering their day-to-day business & what we learned about them in DA1-3. The faction should've been portrayed in a much more cutthroat & dark way IMO. They're the Crows.

I also had a good time with Avowed. I wished it had more depth in some ways, but it hooked me enough to want to go back into that universe. I hope they'll make a sequel. 🤞

I enjoyed the first episode. He's alright, but he pales in comparison imo. But I haven't watched the show because of Cavill anyway, I'm in it for Yennefer & Anya is great as Yen. I hope after The Witcher 4 we finally get a game where we can play as one of the Sorceresses. 🥲

Happy one year anniversary to Dragon Age The Veilguard ❤️

For the anniversary I caught up with my current Mourn Watch PT and checked out some graves with Emmrich.

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

Unpopular opinion: Before starting The Witcher season 4 on Netflix, I'm rewatching some of S3 & just like the first time I enjoy watching it. 🤷‍♂️ I really don't get it why people hate the show so much. Anya Chalotra as Yen and My Anna Buring as Tissaia are my favorites.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

🙈 I like the trailer itself, but the music 🙈

Alexander Schneider 🏳️‍🌈 @jannlee360.bsky.social · 7d

So looking forward to jumping into Battle Royale and the new season in #Battlefield6.

BUT

I have to say... Whoever approved the music for this trailer: Shame on you. It's absolutely horrible. 😂

I've been thinking about Veilguard's anniversary for months now. What could I say? What should I say? Should I say anything? I loved this game at launch, I love it today, I love everything it brought into my life. That's that (in 4000 words cuz I yap too much)

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Was My 10/10 a Year Ago, and It Still Is Today

Dragon Age: The Veilguard was never a one-off release for me, and it means as much today as it did last year, if not more.
