Can someone explain depression to me? I've finally being feeling decent after years of struggling then suddenly this weekend, shite again. Today I cannot be fucked with anything. Feel awful. Existence is pain. For no reason I can fathom. Wtf? 😮‍💨

How did I not know you could unlock the Fresh Prince of Bel Air in NBA Jam Tournament Edition until today?

I never want to complain about not feeling depressed (for the first time in about 6 years), but it's exhausting. I keep going out. 🤣

I have been uncharacteristically motivated and have been out and about a lot this week. And that means outfits! 😁

The Vinted algorithm got me good. So I really do have many new outfits. 😄 Anyway, here's my pupper interrupting my vanity like the good boi he is.

This was yesterday's promotion outfit. 😁 Had a splendid time watching the match with my best mate. What a win. Up we go! ☝🏼#bwfc

@poncle.games is there any possibility that Vampire Crawlers will get a physical Switch release?

Bullied myself into going out yesterday, because I spend too much time home alone and it's been far too long since I visited @waxandbeans.bsky.social

There's a music one as well, so obviously I did that.

Playing Pokopia last night I found a new outfit and thought "hey, that kinda looks like me". The game then proceeds to tell me I'd found the "super nerd outfit". Thanks game.

Spending almost all my Christmas money on Street Fighter 2… …for the Commodore 64. To this day I hold that game as the reason I laugh when people complain about a game being 30fps. SF2 on the C64 didn't have a frame rate to speak of. 🤣

It didn't take long for me to go from "aw I would die for these cute pokemon" to slum landlord in Pokopia. 😄 Now excuse me I have to get back to squeezing 4 extremely large rocks with faces into an extremely small square with 3 pieces of furniture and no roof.

I'm not outright stating that I don't have a social life, but I did just spend my Saturday night 100%-ing A Game About Digging A Hole and Bugsnax.

Well, there goes my interest in buying Fallout 4 on Switch 2. 🫥

Was looking for "best of" lists for Game Boy games on YouTube last night and got unreasonably annoyed that many of them lump Game Boy Colour games in together with original Game Boy. They are not the same.

Just noticed that Loop Hero is on sale for Switch. A weird but very addictive game, I recommend checking reviews to see if it's for you, but it's well worth its current sale price. www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/...

They made me wait 2 hours then called me over to say they couldn't service my car that day. So I gotta go back in a couple of weeks. Absolutely fuming. 🤬

Been playing Animal Crossing today. Because I was bored of my original island but didn't want to lose it, when I got a Switch 2 I started over and kept my OG island on my Switch lite. The Switch 2 is shared between me & my daughter so the new island is shared too…

Have to take my car for service today. As a disabled person they used to pick it up for me and deliver it back, because I can't take a courtesy car (I have adaptations on my car to make it drivable for me). Anyway, this means I have to wait with my car. I'm not thrilled about this…

@ballxpit.com Are there any plans for a Switch physical release?

I need to wrap Christmas presents today. So obviously I'm not doing that and playing Golden Axe instead. 🥴

Forgot to eat and drink today, because thanks to being a hermit for months, Christmas shopping is happening today. All at once. So this is my lunch. At 3pm. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Top tier adulting, I'm sure you'll agree.

This is a lot of words just to say: "because it's the same stuff the generation that raised them had. They grew up around it as it faded, so have a faint nostalgia for it." Same reason Gen X'ers/early millennials had a hard-on for 60's music and fashion.

Why do Gen Z have a growing appetite for retro tech?

Gen Z are going retro, with studies showing a resurgence in people buying tech in the modern age that can be dated back decades.

While I'm here, Neon White is on sale for the Switch. Well worth your time, especially if you like stylish shooters and/or speed running.

I respect Bugsnax for its commitment to being absolutely hatstand from the off and only getting weirder from there. Every time I think we've reached peak weird, it turns out I was wrong.

I was really struggling with my mental health last night (depression has been steadily getting worse for a few months, but last night was particularly grim). Normally when I try to do something I enjoy when I feel low it doesn't help much and usually just sucks the joy out of a thing I like…

So Yodel continue to be an absolute shower of bastards. Apparently I have my parcel that they posted through my door. I do not. And conveniently there's no number visible in the picture of the door they posted it through. Will they help? Nope. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Just finished Stray. Somehow manages to be cute, wholesome, creepy and horrifying all while you play as a cat. And really bloody sad. Absolutely recommended. Oh and if you're not convinced there's a dedicated meow button.

Decided to have a go on Vampire Survivors this afternoon, as it's been a while since I played it. Hit "quick start" just to get back into the swing of the game and was handed the skeleton (which I'm bad with), picked an Arcana that meant I didn't level up (but turned gems into projectiles)…
