idoru66.bsky.social @idoru66.bsky.social · 07/05/2026My wife and I were fortunate enough to be at Monday's show. The Walking Wounded album was the soundtrack of our first year together... A hugely emotional night for us, a truly beautiful set, and Union Chapel was the perfect setting. Thank you. 110
idoru66.bsky.social @idoru66.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Crimson Desert is arguably a factor, certainly a number of Marathon enthused friends have been wholly lost to it since it launched. Perhaps worth waiting to see if they return once they hit the 240 hours mark 😉 000
idoru66.bsky.social @idoru66.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Sigh. Absolutely fuck this guy. Seems to be some astroturfing afoot right now around this type of 'validation' by 'writers'... 000
idoru66.bsky.social @idoru66.bsky.social · 30/03/2026To have that privilege, and then both disgrace yourself and poison the well when it comes to the perceived credibility of other reviewers... Such dismal times. 11901
idoru66.bsky.social @idoru66.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Further observation: the game is very good/slick at what it sets out to do, but is it something with mainstream appeal? Arguably not. 010
idoru66.bsky.social @idoru66.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Was sceptical. Ended up playing to rank 21. Ran great (Xbox), looks superb on a large Oled TV. Seems slow/'easy' until they kick you out of 'Beginner' mode, then quickly more compelling. Played with a variety of randoms, vibes were v positive. Mics are key. Tldr: Div1 DZ/Apex/Trials.

idoru66.bsky.social @idoru66.bsky.social · 10/04/2025EH and Danny Boyle's Sunshine make for an interesting comparison. Both fall at the same hurdle: incredibly compelling set ups that spiral into extremely prosaic final acts. In the hands of a less hack director/writer, EH might have been a stone classic rather than a semi memorable curio. 000

idoru66.bsky.social @idoru66.bsky.social · 30/01/2025Such a naive framing (and that's being polite). He clearly doesn't care a damn about anything but his own enrichment and petty revenge. Everything else - stated policy positions, alliances with the broligarchy etc - is just a means to those ends. 010
