Also, in a couple of weeks’ time I’ll be going to see a play called I Was a Teenage Bisexual by @polisloizou.bsky.social, which is exciting. I’ve previously read a novella by Polis, which I loved, but I’ve never seen one of his plays and I’m very much looking forward to it

I can’t remember the last film I watched…. And even then I’m not sure of the last film I chose, which says a lot about my media consumption (books & video games) and my ability to sit still for 2 hrs.
My Top 10 for the 2020s (so far)*:

My biggest illustration yet! I played the game from start to finish to familiarise myself with the narrative. My only regret is not doing it sooner. Love Final Fantasy 9.

This is artfully done and funny AF.
We are off to see Resident Evil tonight and in its honour enjoy @raidercast.bsky.social jump scares from Silent Hill (including a special Silent Film version)

I thought I’d put in a lot of hours into Civ VI but it’s only(?) 108hrs - I say only as I’ve got 210 hrs down in PS5R

Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered is a blast from the past and a great remaster to get lost in.

I had so much fun playing this - though I gave up on the final boss - my fingers wouldn't do what I wanted them to do - I have preordered Ravenous as it looks great.
Metroid Dread is now #1 on the Switch eShop (US).

I can't recall another time it reached to the top of the charts in the last 4 years.

If I want to check out what I’m wearing in the wardrobe mirror, I stand on the bed. Yesterday, I realised I could just open the door to change the angle and remain standing on the floor.

Warriors Abyss is a time-suck I don’t need. It reminds me why I don’t like rouge-likes. My brain just doesn’t get them.
I did play a lot of @chess.com - which was more relaxing but I’m very rusty. Also gasped at Persona 5 Royal!

I almost gave up - third replay to try to beat the notoriously hard boss in Persona 5 Royal - and I only did it after setting the difficulty to the highest option (as per tips). I am so happy I could cry.

This current game is 90 hours of investment, with almost 200 hours overall. And I’m 50% done.

I love/like two Lloyd-Webber musicals in total. Evita and The Phantom of the Opera (which I’ve seen in Las Vegas) - I’d see them again and again.

I started gaming in 1986 ish and I ain’t stopping.
Anytime I see “if you’re 30 and/or over still gaming….” post anymore I just automatically block on sight because I already know their opinion is going to be full of fucking shit and they’re just posting for some attention.
