I always knew there was something dodgy about the Time Lord.

The #MyXboxStory @trueachievements.com is kinda funky!

Can't believe I have a 44% completion rate though. 🤯

(And not to mention the £13k worth of games... 😬)

This is, unbelievably, "parked".
A teal coloured car apparently parked on a side street. It's worth noting that there's double yellow lines and the car is approx 50cm away from the kerb. Naturally it's a BMW because of course it is.

I will never buy from IGN again after the debacle of the first, and last, order I placed with them.
An email that I sent to IGN asking if they could help me locate the "delivered" parcel that never arrived. The crux of their response was: Thank you for contacting us. We’re sorry to hear that you haven’t received your hoodie. According to the tracking, it was marked as delivered yesterday morning. Unfortunately, as outlined in our shipping policy, we cannot offer refunds or replacements for packages marked “Delivered” by the carrier if the customer did not receive the package.

I know I'm good on the old computer game machines, but I don't think I've ever made other players feel miserable afterwards.
A shot of the front cover of a computer magazine called New Computer Express. There's various pieces of information about the contents (Amiga Atari ST PC CPC BBC) but the main headline reads Games Face STE misery.

Congratulations! Some required reading for Young Sam...
The book "Where's My Cow?" by author Terry Pratchett. The book is green, and there's a large cow with a bell around her neck, facing away from the view, but looking backwards over her shoulder. She's on a path that leads into fields.

Is this from RoboCop: Rogue City Unfinished Business OR... Is this actual American Health Policy?
A message from an in-game computer in green that reads "New Insulin Price Policy. Price Regulations. The recent increase in insulin prices has not affected the number of medications sold. The price has therefore increased again. If the number of buyers remains consistent another price increase will be considered"

Please can these pop ups have a "disable" option in the settings?

When they're on screen, the A button to select stuff no longer works. (ok Xbox at least)

They often pop up in the corners when I'm hovering over the centre of town, and it's *very* frustrating.

I've just happened across Mothra in caterpillar form. Absolute unit must have been 7 or 8 cm long.

(Elephant Hawk Moth caterpillar, apparently)

A couple of days ago my latest treat to myself arrived, and I've got it working today. Seems apt to play this, as I've honestly never got around to playing the full trilogy.

We have one of these.

I think the cats are comfortable.
Flimbo on the left who was missing for 6 weeks is now back up to 3kg in weight (she was down to 1.9kg from 3.8kg) and is pretty settled back at home.

Zylo, on the right, is still just an excuse for a cat and is secretly a teddy bear.
A black and white cat on the left hand side of the landing. A grey and white on the right hand lower landing. There's a cat scratch post between them.

1) That's missing the point.
2) I've already 100%'ed the game.

*Please* can we have a visual for the parry/dodge mechanic?

The animation visual clues are very difficult, and there's a whole sync issue with using audio clues.

This is practically an accessibility issue.

That aside, amazing game. Absolutely love it. ♥️

Wheeee!!
A screenshot from Final Fantasy 8 showing Squalls limit break. It shows a visual timing bar of when to "hit" and this would really help in Clair Obscur Expedition 33.

Always relevant.
A picture of William Adams, from the TV show Battlestar Galactica, with the quote: "There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an absolutely beautiful game.

An old battlefield, strewn with the swords of giants thrust into the soil. A Cresent moon hangs over distant cliffs, while a hazy glow settles over everything. In the distance, dwarfed by the enormous swords, stand 3 protagonists; Maelle, Lune, and Verso.

Phenomenal parking.
A very badly parked car. It looks to be on a good 20 degrees of a diagonal in a car park bay.
