At the nursery buying plants and one of the staff asked me if I was another staff member’s dad here to pick him up. I don’t think I’ll recover from this.

Probably surprising no one: Turns out twins can unlock each others’ phones with Face ID. Yes ok they look alike but they’re not even identical twins. And yet, instant unlock. But MY phone freaks out if I’m lying down. I feel like there’s a low key insult in that.

Whoever had the idea to take the Predator franchise down the Buddy Comedy route frankly deserves a raise. That was much better than anyone could convince me it would be.

Instagram is like HEY DO YOU LIKE MUSCLES? LOOK MUSCLES! HEY YOU, THERE’S MUSCLES! HEY! HEY YOU WANT SOME MORE MUSCLES?! Ok, yes, I do actually. But I hate that they know that.

My absolute blood-boiling, forever-seething pet hate in games is multiple subversive endings that I’m forced to choose from.

If you’re not watching Pluribus, do yourself a favor and watch Pluribus. This is gonna be like Severence where everything is spoiled 5 minutes after it airs. Trust me, you want to ride along with it. 🔥

5 years ago I decided to teach myself C++ so I could attempt making my own game. After 5 long years of late nights and weekends, I’m proud to finally announce, I have a working pause screen.

“It’s more scared of you than you are of it.” Ok Julian but I haven’t seen a spider break out in a cold sweat and slap itself in the face and vomit because a person touched it.

Little Nightmares 3 co-op for Halloween month is pretty perfect tbh.

it's honestly very funny that dogs are just SO friendly and sociable they're just allowed to smell like that

Silksong has made me realise I’m now, sadly, too old for some games.

Aliens: Wipe out 2/3rds of humanity and farm the remaining third as livestock. Me in the pens, whose only coping mechanism is inappropriate humour: “This is still better than the ‘Invasion’ AppleTV series.”

Moe has learned a new trick: Torpedoing from across the house, into the bedroom, onto the bed, and crashing full speed into my face while I’m asleep. For a little guy, he can move.

“50 is the new 30,” I say, as I gag down my heartburn medication and climb into bed at 8:45pm. “I feel as young as ever!” Realising I forgot to schedule my colonoscopy, I laugh. “Hahaha, so forgetful. Hey babe, what month is it?”

Was having a sad today. Nothing specific, just The General Malaise. Then I saw this and my brain squirted out a solid dose of dopamine and now I have nostalgia sad, which is the nice kind.

I love how coordinate systems have absolutely no consistency. Which way is X? Which way is Y? Is the top the bottom? WHERE IS ZERO? NO RULES JUST ANARCHY.

My favorite thing about playing games with Julian is he’ll see something like a patrolling DEATH SHIP shining a giant DEATH LIGHT on the DEATH SANDS and be like “I wonder what happens if we-“ KLAXON. DEATH BEAM. JETPACK TROOPERS. WORM. DEAD. What did you think was gonna happen you big, pretty man?

Sex is great but have you ever torn your thumbnail off slamming it in a door and while opening the bandaids sliced your other thumb open on the lid so now you have to type with your index fingers like some gumby praying mantis with a phone addiction?

My favorite thing about Expedition 33 was I saw the end coming, but it turned out it was just the end of Act 2 and it keeps going way past that in ways I wasn’t expecting at all. I can’t think of much that weaves whimsy with gravitas as well as this game does.

Doom Dark Ages feels like being a kid stumbling on Iron Maiden album covers. It’s so fucking goofy. I love it SO MUCH.

I don’t want to be hyperbolic but I’m just going to say it like it’s fact: Andor isn’t just the best Star Wars or the best sci-fi, it’s best in show TV period. No spoilers, but I’m genuinely gutted from the recent trilogy of episodes. My heart hurts. I’m nervous for the next three.

Boon Cotter @booncotter.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

“Play Expedition 33” yall said. “It’s great” yall said. Who doesn’t want to spend their Sunday emotionally devastated? I’m suing you all for therapy expenses after this.

Ok so the Indiana Jones game is very good. But the lighting especially. I mean, holy wow it’s GOOD. Looking forward to finishing it and then stalking the lighting team. 🤌

Nobody: Me: Remember when I was in the social security office waiting for my card and that wild guy was ranting about government mind control experiments and being abducted by aliens and I glanced at him and he looked at me and said “don’t think you’re safe just cos you’re a gay Australian”.

Julian is chasing the SAD away by pumping it out on the weights and I’m sitting here in a perpetual cycle of “I’ll start tomorrow” and I think it’s because THE GAMES, THEY HAVE ME. Also I’m a lazy fuck.

Just finished Split Fiction. It’s been a long time since I felt legit sad that a game was over. GOTY.
