I really, really want to play Majora's Mask, but it's impossible to get immersed with literal weeks in between gaming sessions, uncertain how long I can play. Instead, I had the great idea to fire up Apocalypse on PS1 for a bit. I'm going to play short bursts of PS1 games for the time being. 🤘🏻

In a story full of great characters, Samwise Gamgee is king.
What’s a character in movies you consider perfect?

I found myself thinking about Samwise Gamgee again and getting chocked up at what a beautifully pure character he is.
Perfectly written, cast and acted.
Seriously, I get tears in my eyes just thinking about him.

Two months later, we FINALLY continued. So much downtime did absolutely nothing to diminish the show's impact. Episode 4 finishes on yet another jaw-dropping reveal and I'm still recovering from it. Half-way through episode 5 now. Hard to tell which of the sisters is more sane now. #TVSky #Arcane

217. Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now
218. Home Alone (pc)
219. Ultimate Spider-Man
220. Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

Ah, there it is. Warrior Within. You know, I like to pick on this game a whole lot and that’s not entirely unfair. (1/8)

Denden’s Movie Den. No. 131. Tremors 3: Back to Perfection.

For my thoughts in Tremors 2: bsky.app/profile/jcde...

This third movie in the franchise succeeds mostly in moving the story forward, with Burt finally acting as main protagonist as we return to the valley of Perfection (1/6)

Top four games I've finished this year.

(for the first time)

I probably gamed less than ever before since I started gaming, but what incredible experiences, even if Odyssey was slightly disappointing. It wouldn't even have made it had I finished Spiritfarer. I'm a lifelong LiS-fan now, though.

Why is google telling me what's new on *adjusts glasses* Tik...Tok? And what's Rosalía? Is it is a Pokémon?

Anytime there’s a boycott on a company, product, platform, etc. it’s extremely important to actively try *not* to shame people who choose not to. I understand when emotions are high, passion can bring out the best and worst in us. Hell, I’ve done it, myself. Just know it almost ALWAYS backfires.

Ashes of Ares European Tour (presenting Iced Earth's The Dark Saga).

Part 3: The moment I had been waiting for. Never expected this to ever happen, to hear Matt Barlow sing this legendary album live. It was un-fucking-real.

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.

A rare Saturday BNG drop!

The latest addition to my favourites list. Not as good as Terrifier 2, but still great.

Survived the arrival of St. Nicholas (Sinterklaas) since our daughter is old enough to start understanding the celebration a bit. Sinterklaas wanted to give her a hand, but she was way too shy. She did enjoy several handfuls of "kruidnoten". All in all, quite fun. I do need to relearn the songs. 😅
