Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It's that time of year again where I look at all the horror films I've not watched since last October and figure out which ones get the honour. Definitely want to do the few Hellraiser films I own, then jump onto HBO for the Conjuring films. Mena wants to do Smile (need to find the first one). 110
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Tried to get tickets for the Zelda concert up in Glasgow (we're in LA for the London dates), and let me tell you that their website is not at all prepared for as many people as there were on it lol. The queue system crashed when trying to redirect and then the actual site kept crashing after, too. 110
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 29/09/2026If Man City keep their trophies now, after being found guilty of misreporting their finances to the tune of £900m, there needs to be the BIGGEST FUCKING ASTERISK that those trophies were BOUGHT and not WON. Speaking entirely as a neutral, that is not fair to the other 19 teams in the league. 100
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 27/09/2026If anybody was still under any doubt - that new "Crush 40" song is now out on streaming services, but the artist isn't credited as Crush 40. I can't even. 000
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Oh yes, this. I saw this during one of my final SNS episodes and hoo boy, it is a thing. Fans are definitely being taken for a Green Light Ride with this one 😶 010
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Finished all the story modes of FFVII Ever Crisis on Steam today. Was going to spend the rest of the time before its shutdown working through some of the other content to get the last few Steam Achievements, but I don't think I want to commit to the grind. I'd like to play something else lol 100
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 24/09/2026The four day wait to see if I've been selected to attempt to buy Oasis tickets starts today. It won't be the worst thing in the world if not, but if I'm able to go I'd like to. We shall see. 110
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Been thinking about the latest Xbox restructure and, really, the only one that sucks is Ninja Theory shutting as they are super talented people. Halo Studios haven't made a good game since, arguably, Halo 4. 5 was alright but the story was horrid, the shift to open world in Infinite bombed.. 120
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 17/09/2026www.gematsu.com/2026/09/tosh... Only remastering the PS1 versions of these games sucks because the Saturn versions of 1&2 had extra stuff, and it's a shame more people won't get to play them.gematsu.comToshinden Collection announced for PS5, Switch 2, and PCEdia has announced fighting game collection Toshinden Collection for PlayStation 5, Switch 2, and PC (Steam). It will launch in 2027 worldwide. 010
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Just got the Platinum for MMPR: Rita's Rewind (I backlogg'd yesterday saying I had it because I knew I'd get it today), and it turns out that it was my 50th one! Not bad. 100
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Why does everybody have to use GenAI for art? Why can't we use it for something where AI actually generating something would be useful? Like, for example, enemies actually LEARNING from what you're doing and adapting accordingly, rather than just an adaptive difficulty that gets easier or harder? 110
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Wolverine getting middling reviews is a shame, but I think it's fallen into the trap where, the more viscera you put into a game to make it look cool as you slice people up, the more you forget to put a good game behind it. 101
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I had a Teddy Ruxpin, and they were horrifying when the batteries started to die and the rather innocent story on the cassette became more menacing the deeper and slower the voice got. The rest of this thread is probably more relevant, but it just reminded me of that and I shuddered a little. 010
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 09/09/2026iPhone Duo. Pfft. iPhold was better. It works on multiple levels. 000
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Look, Apple, if you don't call your foldable iPhone the iPhold then I think we just need to rethink the direction our lives are going in. 100
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 07/09/2026The "Crush 40" livestream (that is unfortunately being hosted by a site that, I thought, would know better) is taking place at the same time as the Zelda Direct. I know which one I'm watching. 011
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Makes sense that Xbox would take one of the few good things they've done this gen and find a way of making it remarkably less good. Doing it the same week they launched disc-to-digital probably isn't a coincidence, either. Well done. 100
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Playing Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis because I want to try and finish it and, oh boy, that recommended power rating is telling some lies! I'm now about 50k OVER the recommendation and I still can't get past this mission 😭 100
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Erm, yes, I want a set of six mini CRTs that play a single Final Fantasy track. 010
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I'm probably going to get started on writing stuff in the next couple of weeks, but before I dive into UNDO I've got a short story idea I want to do first. Currently called The Journal of the Last Man, it's about a guy who wins a trip to space w/ billionaires, and then the Earth blows up. 010
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 29/08/2026My first @summerofsonic.bsky.social (as an attendee) was 17 years ago today. Just in case anybody else who was there wants to feel old. 210
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 27/08/2026GTA VI looks very good. Probably won't buy it at launch, though, as I do have a backlog to get through, but I'll probably grab it early next year. 000
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Because I love being on time for shit like this: I've just watched Sinners. What a film. 000
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Keeping a close eye on whether or not the Kingdom Hearts Spirit Jersey ends up being JUST a #D23 exclusive or not, because it's gorgeous and I want one and I'm not in California lol. 000
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Started listening to the FFX House Grooves album yesterday as I didn't have time when it came out due to being on holiday, and I think I love the whole thing. It's such a chill album, and exactly what my head needs right now to just calm tf down. 000
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Tried to write a post on a Disneyland Paris help page on FB advising of certain rude security staff and some of the comments were like "dude, just lift the bags". I mean, yeah, but the point here was more THEY REFUSED TO EXPLAIN IN ENGLISH SO WE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THEM. Silly me. 100
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Don't know if @dlpreport.com want to know this, but I wanted to point out that we had a truly HORRENDOUS experience trying to get out of security at Disney Village earlier today. All the guards tried to tell us - in French - that we needed to lift our bags onto the belt. We said we couldn't. 100
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Finally got some time off! Not had a prolonged break since April so I am very much ready for it. First up is a pre-birthday holiday to Paris (yes, another Disney trip) and then, after a week back at work, it's the birthday week. I'm 19 days away from turning 40 and I still don't think I'm ready. 120
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Just saw some of the highlights of the WC Final (I was at Splendour in Notts so missed it live) and: Good. Argentina had been begging for that the entire tournament. Cape Verde couldn't do it. Switzerland couldn't do it. Egypt and England should've done it. They finally got found out. 100
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 19/07/2026If you'd told England at the start of the tournament they'd finish 3rd I think we'd take it. In truth we should've been playing tomorrow. Had we played against Argentina like we did tonight we would be. This is something to build on, though. The Euros are at home. It seemed to help last time. 130
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I'll say this - Man United: Let's try and see if we can reintegrate Rashford into the side. He looks like he could absolutely do a job for us next season. 000
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I know it means nothing, and I know France really don't look like they give too much of a shit whether they win or lose, but this is a good England performance so far. 100
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Listening to Editors today because I'm seeing them at the last Splendour festival tomorrow, and they are a funny band. First two albums: pretty standard early 2000s indie rock. Good, but not spectacular After that: We've discovered synths and become dark, moody, and actually BETTER. 030
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 15/07/20265 minutes away. We did what Egypt did (and shouldn't have done) - took the lead and tried to defend it. That is soul destroying. 100
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 15/07/2026I wonder how many of you were aware that this is a thing that exists: it's a Pokémon backpack, made by SEGA! 000
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 14/07/2026If England beat Argentina tomorrow, I must admit I was a little worried if it was France in the final. Now? I think I'm starting to believe just that little bit more. BUT! Argentina first. 120
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 14/07/2026I started Tomb Raider Remastered yesterday as Mena bought me it (she's been gifting me stuff every day on the run up to my birthday from when the countdown hit 40 days) and I was really excited to play with modern controls. Until I played with modern controls. Going back to tank. It feels better. 140
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 11/07/2026In London for MCR this weekend and our hotel means we have to go past Liverpool Street, so we're going to stop off to see the @sonic-official.bsky.social murals that are still up. Sucks I didn't get to see all of them, but hey ho. We play the cards we're dealt. 110
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 11/07/2026England v Norway this evening has reminded me of just how much I hate that I really like Haaland. If he could just leave City for literally ANYBODY else then that would suit me fine. Absolute monster of a player. 120
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 07/07/2026I'm not as much of an Xbox fanboy as I was during the 360/PS3 gen, but amongst all the shit that's happening at MS these last few days I can't shake the feeling that a lot of what's gone wrong has been dropped at Phil Spencer's feet, and that Asha is trying to course correct. 100
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Belgium belting the US, with Balogun being a hindrance rather than a help, is the best thing to have seen this morning. That being said, I cannot wait for the first Triple Threat Quarter Final match between the US, Belgium and Spain. Winner stays on rules, sudden death after 90 mins to win. 110
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Muse said, back in 2012 and paraphrasing the second law of thermodynamics, that a system based on endless growth was unsustainable. Watching the video game industry self imploding because everybody chased BIGGER when they just needed to chase BETTER seems to be proving their point. 121
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 06/07/2026I'm looking forward to being the only person at work who stayed up for the England game and still feels pretty perky, for the most part. Four 24 hour radio shows and about 20 years of watching WWE live will do that to a person. 020
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Brazil have not looked like themselves in this World Cup - Japan should have beat them in the last round. Now that Haaland has dragged Norway in front, I can't see them salvaging this one as well. 100
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 04/07/2026SEGA: Here, look at our newest Sonic short! Everyone: That's awesome! Can we have a series of these please? SEGA: ... ... ... ... Everyone: Please? SEGA: ... ... ... ... We've remastered Sonic Lost World! Check out our newest short released in collaboration with it! Everyone: 🤦 010
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Take a bow, Cape Verde. Widely expected to finish bottom of their World Cup group, they've just taken Argentina to the absolute limit and deserved to get to penalties. What a game. Well worth staying up for. 120
Gavvie @gavvie.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Microsoft have an absolute opportunity to steal the gaming market away from PlayStation entirely in the next generation by allowing their new console to play discs, if PS6 ends up being digital only. What a shit decision. Nobody likes this. 300
