Horizon Forbidden West is now 100% complete! Absolutely gorgeous game, which I didn’t enjoy quite as much as the original but did still enjoy a lot. Also I thought the Burning Shores Expansion was excellent! 🔥 🌊

As I am currently avoiding using my PlayStation for the time being I’ve actually enjoyed how much faster the Xbox’s connectivity is as I’ve barely used my Series X. I really wish they’d bring back the blades dashboard though, its my all time favorite 😍

My thoughts on how fast the seasonal PVP track unlocks is very different now that I’ve completed it than when I started it which I’ll get into on the next @talesoftamriel.bsky.social episode. However glad to say I completed it! ⚔️

Gotta say I’m really disappointed in how short this Whitestrake’s Mayhem event was in ESO. The more frequent thing is fine but not even a full week after you introduce a timed seasonal PVP track just feels bad. The event just felt like I was cheated out of more fun…

Gaming has always been a business, but does anyone still remember when it was designed for ACTUAL fun? Want people to stay playing, make it really fun! Want people to buy something else, make the game really fun so they buy the sequel or expansion! Now its metrics/spreadsheets ☠️

I am unbelievably shattered and heartbroken with the news coming out of ZenMax Online and Xbox in general today. The team at ZOS is made up of amazing, dedicated, smart - and above all, awesome humans. To see so many of them laid off today - and last year at this time - is just awful

I tend to play Turok as each summer as its one of my favorite games, and I just noticed another difference in the cover art from @nightdivestudios.bsky.social remastered. I knew they had Tal Set instead of Joshua on the cover (which makes more sense) but the blood is removed in one version 🤔

LotusOfDoom @lotusofdoom.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

A bit awkward of a review on this one. I love the @limitedrungames.com physical version of this collection and it works great! On the other hand I guess nostalgia was a bigger factor than I thought because these 2 games were wayyy rougher to play than I remembered 🫠

30 years ago the #N64 launched in Japan and it’s still one of my favorite consoles. What better way to celebrate than to fire it up for some couch split screen. Spoilers Yoshi did not win in Mario Party despite the prediction 🤣

Hermaeus Mora, Daedric Prince of Forbidden Knowledge and Fate redesign Annoying ink spot is read, next is Sanguine #tes #theelderscrolls

My redesign of Hermaeus Mora from The Elder Scrolls. He looks like a giant dripping ink spot, emerging from the book. He is shapeless but many separate elements can be recognized in silhouette's of marine creatures, like squids, sharks, crabs, corals, whales, angler fish, etc. At the center of the spot, it turns into a green ocean bottom, with kelp, shells, and sand out of ink. Whole surface has bright lime eyes on it. At the very center is a giant eye with flowing ink, like a waterfall and tentacles, sticking right out of the eye (one tentacle has an open book in its grip). Inside of the eye looks like one more ocean bottom, with one more ink spot and more eyes, that have one more ocean bottom inside them, etc.
There are also doodles with Mora destroying the sanity of dark elf mage and upscaled big eye, with better picture of ocean inside of the eye, inside of the ocean, inside of the eye, inside of the...

What am I doing here?

With all the #destinythegame talk recently I’ve found it fun to think back on all the great times I had with the series. I had some serious issues with the business models, but it was undeniably fun
