Picked up ACNH again. I lost a lot of momentum after forgetting to transfer my island when I moved over to the Switch 2. I've now got my island to 3 stars and KK has visited. I forgot how many cool little events there are in this game! #nintendo #animalcrossing #acnh #gaming #switch

I shared this with friends on discord so thought I'd share it here as well, this is my original copy of Pokémon Heartgold. I've had this since it released in 2010, hence why the cardboard box has faded a bit, still I don't mind, it shows it's had a life! #retrogaming #pokemon #retrogames #nintendo

With Red defeated, my latest playthrough of Pokémon Gold is complete. My biggest takeaway from this run: - Piloswine was my MVP - Togetic performed way better than expected - Herracross was fun but hard to use Here is my final team: #pokemon #pokemongold #retrogaming #gameboy #nintendo

My latest Pokémon TCG pickups: I've been after an Ancient Mew for years since I no longer have my childhood one. Articuno is my favourite of the legendary birds, Blastoise is my favourite starter and this Piplup full art is top tier! 😊 #pokemon #pokemontcg #pokemoncards

Some of my most recent Pokémon pick ups and pulls. Deerling and Sawsbuck is one of the best connected full arts I've seen so far! Thrilled to pull Bastiodon as it's my favourite fossil from Gen 4

Here's a piece of pc gaming history I found while having a sort out. My original copy of World of Warcraft. It has a proper game manual. The catalogue showing Warcraft 3 and Diablo 2 was still available to purchase and check out those system requirements! 😆 #retrogaming #pcgaming #worldofwarcraft

Although I have the original cartridges and an Analogue Pocket, but there is something nice about playing these on modern Nintendo hardware. Obviously, I chose the best starter.. 😏 #pokemon #nintendo

Not a huge fan of live service games so never played much Pocket Camp, but Joe the complete version is out, I'm tempted.... So should I buy Animal Crossing Pocket Camp Complete?!

I managed to get on for the 10pm launch of the WoW 20th Anniversary servers. Barely able to get anything done apart from making a character on my chosen faction for both PvE and PvP servers. Night Elf Rogue for PvE and Undead Warlock for PvP. 😊

I haven't played ACNH in months and completely forgot I'd just restarted my island! Anyway as you can see, a few weeds have grown since but I don't know anyone else, I think they're really pretty and it seems a shame to get rid of them! 😅 #gaming #animalcrossing #acnh
