Share a tv series you've watched from beginning to end more than once.
The first 3 of these I've watched at least 3 times.
Also Friends, Fresh Prince and the Office. Probably quite a few more

Good Morning friends! ☕️
In 2 hours I'll be flying to New York 😁 looking forward to the trip. Also looking forward to not be bored during the 8 hour flight, cause it'll just be 8 hours of Hades II and Zelda 🥳
Have a good one!

If I'm being honest, as someone who got 76% of their Game Awards predictions right, not all that much shocked me when the nominations dropped yesterday 😉.
But inevitably, there's always at least a few surprises. Here are my 6 biggest.

Unfortunately, if you want to play Dispatch, you are officially a bit too late for it to feel like the event that it was.
But, you should still play it, because it's easily the best narrative game this year for me.

Dispatch Loose Scraps!
Dispatch was one of my most anticipated games this year, and despite my high expectations, it managed to surpass every one of them.
The game sets itself apart from others in the genre with its unique humour, stylish art direction, and memorable characters and performances.

Dispatch credits rolled 😭
While this wrapped up perfectly, I want more. Already had a 2nd playthrough going, so we'll see how that one turns out.
What more can I say? Fantastic writing, performances, visuals..everything.
Some minor minuses, but the rest more than makes up for them.
Review soon ✍️

Really looking forward to the last 2 episodes of Dispatch tonight. Sad to see it coming to an end, let's hope there will be more 🤞
This will no doubt be the fourth game I'll be giving at least a 9/10 this year, which is crazy.
Have a great day!

Makes a post about playing too many games at the same time > adds Arc Raiders to it.
After gaming pretty much all my life, I had my first ever interaction with a stranger. The guy healed me and we had a little chat.
Crazy experience. Feels so unnatural to me but it was fun. Gotta get used to it .
