Local shop has Chaos Rising Pokémon cards but I guess they're savvy to the demand because they're asking £6 a pack. Which by some standards isn't awful, but it's still ass compared to the appropriate £3.99.

Played a bit of Luna Abyss via Game Pass and it's intriguing but holy the lighting and visual direction has left me with a massive headache. Not for any fault of the game, it's definitely atmospheric, just my head hasn't responded well to it

Sad that Destiny is ending. It's been a bit shit for a while, but at its best it was genuinely really solid and deserved a lot better.

Took many years, but my PC achievements took over Xbox recently. I used to be insane for achievements back in the 360 era but they massively faded when I jumped to PC for 99% of stuff.

Crazy that a game in "early access" only available to reviewers/premium edition purchasers already has over 300k players on leaderboards

Forza Horizon 6 is as gorgeous as expected, I could get lost in photo mode for hours #ForzaHorizon6

100% on We Love Katamari REROLL + Royal Reverie. Holy I thought I was going to go slowly insane replaying the final level 5 times in a row for the cousins and the queen.

Pulled this Mega Lopunny SIR today but of course it's not worth much simply because it's not Charizard. Same rarity, but doesn't have the overrated lizard buff #PokemonTCG

I casually watch WWE highlights and catch up etc on the side, but holy it's taken a massive plunge in quality over the past few months. The recent releases and departures like Aleister Black, Wyatt Sicks, New Day and many more are such disappointments.

It put extra time and effort into my FFXIV music-related videos and they end up at a few hundred views. Meanwhile the most popular channel that churns them out with zero flair has 70k views combined for the same vids. I loathe the algorithm so much, it's impossible.

Regular reminder that paid early access for games is a modern plague on the industry. Getting early access for pre-ordering is fine, but stoking FOMO with deluxe editions or whatever else is just horrid.

SEGA casually dropping an Alien: Isolation 2 teaser on a random Sunday afternoon wasn't on my bingo card. But I'm excited!

I have a national dex folder for my Pokémon cards and I aim to avoid outright buying the missing cards and just hope to stumble into them randomly. I've always been missing just Nidoqueen and Vileplume from Gen 1 but finally pulled a Vileplume from Ascended Heroes! #PokemonTCG

For a game released in 2009, Resident Evil 5 still looks really good today. Obviously if you look too closely it kinda falls apart, but it's probably one of the best looking games of its era.

i did the Pokémon thing :)

One last win in Battle Stage on Festival Fortnite before the mode is shuttered later. Shame it has to go, it's a fun mode to just be forced into completely random music.

Nothing like watching a stream that features PewDiePie and hearing him say the NHS is shit. This being a multi-millionaire that could have easily gotten premium healthcare any time he wanted while living in the UK. Rich snob, holy.

The most important patch note you will ever see in a video game #CrimsonDesert

The achievements of #CrimsonDesert are basically the draw the owl meme. Finish chapter 1 Finish everything else the game has to offer in its entirety. Having fun but the lazy achievement list is a bit disappointing

Thinking about it, RE games of late have this horrible habit of cliffhangers that go nowhere. I wont spoil, but RE2, RE3, RE4, RE7, RE8 and now RE9 all have cliffhangers yet nothing has really come of them. It's a bizarre habit of Capcom's and I'm not sure it's good.
