Goddamnit Shadow of the Erdtree goes real hard in the “here’s 7 new directions to go in every fucking area” department

Oh Jesus Animal Well is amazing. So exactly my cup of tea: atmospheric and ‘you figure it out’ mentality Metroidvania. Haven’t had any actual combat for hours and loving it.

Goddamnit ‘The Ministry of the Future’ is a cool book. Not so much the story, but the underlying ideas about where we could go as a world.

Learned the word Monocausotaxophilia today. Beautiful and very pertinent for our current political issues worldwide.

Just last-minute cancelled going to a music show because all involved were too tired. Now off to restaurant. Feel like a real adult now.

Echt superleuk om Helldivers 2 te krijgen van Sony maar het was wel relaxt geweest als we de game ook konden spelen. Hoop dat ze ‘t relatief snel opgelost krijgen want als de servers mensen er van blijven weerhouden om in te loggen gaat het enthousiasme wel zakken vrees ik.

Vendor lock-in dark pattern #3748: Apple now has a new trick where the ‘don’t use Apple ID’ option is hidden behind a half-screen scroll bar that only activates when you swipe exactly in the middle, I.e. where you would never naturally swipe. Amazing.

:(

Alan Wake 2 is goooood so far.

Spider-Man is een verdomd solide game. Door de stad bewegen was nog nooit zo leuk, verder weinig nieuws of schokkends. Gewoon nog een goeie. Maar niks spannends. Eigenlijk veel hetzelfde. Maar dan met twee Spidermannen. Sterk. Maar wel heel behoudend. Maar vooral goed.

Half the fun in cleaning up big parts of your house you normally don’t go is finding blasts from the past. Case in point: random setlist from 2000 most likely. Ah, the memories.

God I hate looking at that stupid X

Dus

So if Threads actually takes off in the US the people in Europe will have…nothing?

Well I guess I’m playing Final Fantasy XVI then. Hell of a demo.
