Played the #Pragmata demo on #Playstation5 and wow! This right here is a game. Absolutely loved it and can't wait for the full version. All those people saying you need to try the combat to understand are correct. It is so fluid, snappy and fulfilling. Very hyped now for the game.

I love the look of this game so much and the vibe but it being a co-op game just kills it dead.
Also did anyone else think this new trailer almost made it look like an anime reskin of It Takes Two?

I cannot see another trailer for Resident Evil 9. I am so done with my eyeballs and brain having to endure it. I get it's hyped but I do not give a shit anymore 😭

I think I am now at the stage with the #ChainsawMan manga that I am reading it just for the sake of it ending. Really think this entire second story has been a bust. Not very interesting, confusing panels and way too many characters.
It has just been an utter slog to get through

Another game I've spent a wee bit time on is #2XKO and overall I would say it is a bit bland. Presentation is basic, the fights feel a bit soulless as I don't think the sound effects really pop or make impact. There might be music in there but none I remember. Anyway already deleted.

Found a new annoyance in office work....you send someone an email that has a lot in it and you expect some form of answer and all they do is react to it with a thumbs up. Save the emoji reactions for Teams, Email is the real shit dawg for real answers.

I have managed to play a fair bit of #ArkknightsEndfield over the last few days and generally I think it is pretty cool but I am not digging the factory/production aspect. Maybe it will grow on me but I just find it to be busy work and a hassle

Well I think I am definitely done with the Assassins Creed series now and any other utter shite Ubisoft decides to plop out of its AI enriched anal gland
Ubi cancelled those games to help them become an AI slophouse btw. (today's press release details their investment in 'player-facing Generative AI')

So I am going to do one of those living threads keeping a note of all the games I finished in 2026. So my goal/ambition is to play through more on my backlog or older games.....

My bold prediction - doesn't matter what they do as it will be reacted to negatively. They had their shine & flowers but the cogs of the media and online fans will want their scalp now.
Outside of the combat, what do you want and expect for the next Sandfall RPG?

2026 really needs to be bold with games. And by that I mean it needs to be all mechs and tanks

Nothing quite like management trying to control a narrative then digging their own grave filled with shit deeper. Love to see it. Big fan.
Nadella wanting everyone to stop talking about AI slop seems like a really good reason for everyone to keep talking about AI slop www.theverge.com/news/852630/...
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is now blogging about AI slop
Nadella doesn’t want to argue about AI slop anymore

Going to play Metroid Prime 4 mainly with the mouse controls.
Just like how I played my first play through of Bioshock Infinite with the Playstation Move.

I was an absolute fiend for EastEnders from 98 to 2005-ish maybe a bit longer but dropped off but now they are bringing back all the characters I know & storylines from yesteryear so I have found myself keeping up with it in fragments from the Facebook account that the algo serves up. Not mad!
