I'll never forgive Nathan Fillion if all these teases on his Instagram don't lead to a revival of Firefly or another movie. Don't break my heart like this...

"Be Mine". One of the best love songs ever written. The final minute is *chef's kiss*. 'New Adventures In Hi-Fi' is such an underrated album.

Playing #SilentHillF and quite enjoying it, however, the devs are kinda taking the piss with some of these "blocked paths" and other "obstacles" in order to force me along the way they want you to go. "Oh no, how ever will I get around this parked truck. Guess I'll just go the long way 'round."

Only thing saving that Nintendo Direct was Fire Emblem & Mario Tennis looking like a proper game again and not barebones. I'll be getting Metroid Prime 4, but that showing was NOT good.

@horganp.bsky.social @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social Visited the lovely, newly opened section of the Marina Park at the weekend and noticed this part. Any idea what's going on here with this ramp? It just ... ends. Is is not continuing up to meet the greenway? They run into problems or something?

Started a rewatch of Firefly/Serenity when I got a bad case of covid about a month ago. Badly needed some comfort viewing & hadn't rewatched in about 10 years. Can confirm it's still fucking brilliant and has one of the best character ensembles ever. The ending of Serenity still chokes me up.

Happily packed away my #Xbox Series S today. Haven't played it since Indiana Jones in December, anyway, and doubtful ever to use it again. Microsoft can go do one.

How the fuck is Phil Spencer still in a job. The mismanagement going on at Xbox under his helm for the past decade is just astounding. Bet he'll get a new bonus or something while all the talented people get shit canned.

The perks of being sick and housebound for 4 days. Enjoyed my time with the new #Doom. Very DIFFERENT Doom but I liked it a lot. It didn't really start to click until about halfway though, though, and the story is total nonsense, thank god it can be entirely skipped.

The cut-scenes in #DoomTheDarkAges are great looking n' all, but who the hell asked for this? Who are these characters? What the fuck are they on about? lol Just drop me into hell, give me some guns and let me kill demons. That's all you need. Are they trying to turn Doom into Halo or something?

No pre-order date & no price for a console that's out in 2 months?! WTF Nintendo. 5/10 Reveal presentation. Mario Kart, Donkey Kong and the new FromSoftware game are insta-buys. The rest was ports of things I've already played or will get on the PS5 instead.

I don't know why I get excited for these Nintendo Directs. They get me every time and it's always full of garbage that I have no interest in. lol Roll on next Wednesday! Metroid Prime 4 looks good, I guess. Although, that was a terrible showcase of it.

Mario & Luigi Brothership. Enjoying it a lot, but MY GOD, Nintendo should have waited for Switch 2 to release this. A very choppy 30fps and I haven't experienced this much loading going in and out of battles since the PS1 days. It's still a great game, but needs better hardware.

Baked biscuits for the first time in my life, for the Bake-Off finale the other night. They were supposed to be choc-chip & hazelnut cookies, but came out as these kinda ginger-snap biscuit type things. Way too hard, on the verge of being burnt. They were edible and nobody died. Good first try. 👍

Bunch of us, mostly in our late 30's/early 40's, play soccer every Wednesday. Occasionally, when we can't make up the numbers, we ask other groups if there's someone that could fill in. Often, a few lads 20 years our junior will play and proceed to run rings around us. Getting old sucks :/
