Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 18hMild hints of a difficulty discourse bubbling up around it now. GOTY heritage. 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 10/10/20265 hours in and, unless it massively biffs it, Silver Pines is my favourite game I've played this year (is there a shorter way of saying that?) Its references are so blatant but they're all references I love. It's going to be filed in my heart next to the original Alan Wake. 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 01/10/2026SIlent Hill: Townfall one of those games where I can absolutely recognise and agree with most flaws you can level at it but I just don't care. I love what it's doing. I got excited about a shop in the game because it had the words "good quality bric-a-brac" digitally rendered on a white board. 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Can't help but notice you've not posted "My 9 Friends". 010
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 28/09/2026You? Trying to flex on *me*? Haha, don't be silly. Gettin' jiggy wit it. 001
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Sorry to say but St. Amelia Harbour Trust from Silent Hill: Townfall is not a registered charity with either the Scottish Charity Register or the Charity Commission of England and Wales and any Gift Aid claimed on relevant donations is invalid and you may have inadvertently committed tax avoidance. 010
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Imploring Hollywood PR teams and campaign managers to learn that there's more (and dare I say better) styles to ASMR than just whispering closely into a microphone. 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Oh, and whoever is giving Ron Gilbert a million dollars to make Thimbleweed Park 2. 100
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 10/09/2026For all the shit the Ellisons get, are Annapurna the only known-name publisher that understands games as patronising the arts and investing in culture, rather than technology products to generate return on investment? 110
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Farage claiming he was in a work meeting and wasn't actually listening to what was going on is the first time I've thought "actually, he does represent me". A man of the people. 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 27/08/2026First song in a long time where I've heard it on the radio and gone "hold up, what's this?" Like Broken Social Scene covering the Changing Rooms theme. youtu.be/9s6aLPyQAbE?...youtu.beBlue Earth Sound - Limiter (Official Audio)YouTube video by DeepMatter Records 000

Reposted by Yr Friend, DBYr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 14/08/2025In Japan, they're called S-levels. 001
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Sorry for your loss and I reserve the right to be a hypocrite should circumstances befall me but I'm officially declaring the story of two specific prisoners being released early going into a second week to be A Bit Much. 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Played through Type Help which robs The Incident At Galley House of drama but, as someone a bit skeptical of a text adventure being made into an actual game, the execution is spot on. A proper little radio play whodunit. Lovely production values and attention to detail. 051
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Part of me is annoyed that someone has dumped a load of DVDs in the book swap on my street, but another part of me is delighted I just got the complete series of Eerie, Indiana. Some cheek calling it a 3-disc special edition though when there's only enough episodes for 3 discs. 010
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 27/07/2026That Emily Wilson essay would have been better as a 1* Letterboxd review that said "Christopher Nolan is Homerphobic". 010
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Didn't play Splatoon 3 so suspect I missed a lot of deviant chat about Shiver from Splatoon Raiders. 010
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Ate half a bowl of cereal before realising it was infested with pantry moths. Wbu? 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Bought a comically oversized Hawaiian shirt for a fancy dress party 15 years ago. Sadly, weight and weather have escalated to such a point that it's the only comfortable top I've worn all week. 010
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Was minded today of all the "Dept. Heaven" games on PSP that I own and finished and cannot remember a single thing about. A bit like The Last Remnant on the 360. Endless JRPGs which I spent hours playing but have left no mark in my life. Have I wasted my time on this Earth? 010
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 19/06/2026[Extremely Mac DeMarco voice] REAL SAUSAGES! REAL MASH! 010
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Hate it, don't use it BUT it is objectively funny when someone tries to use AI to support their (normally right-wing) argument and the response comprehensively disproves what they're saying. 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Only watched the last few series so I'm a newcomer but the one thing I've learned about ardent Taskmaster fans is that they're absolutely miserable about everything. 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 05/06/2026True Head Heads are raising a glass tonight to the original Adam Klaus. 020
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Look, it's nearly bedtime and I don't want to cause you any unnecessary stress which may impact a good sleep so I'll just come out and say it: I'm over the hump in Mina The Hollower. 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 26/05/2026A bit annoying how everyone's got their own Discord forum now so if you just want to download some ray tracing mod for a decade old game, you have to join one with a general chat populated with people like this: 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Was likely in the pit of a mighty depression during some of it but - amongst my 1000 hours in Destiny 2 - I'll remember working out how to play music through proximity chat and then blasting Let Me Show You by Camisra on repeat in the Tower while doing a DJ emote. It was all good fun. 100
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Quite upsetting that young people have parasocial relationships with elite footballers or platinum-selling musicians or queer-baiting film stars and my parasocial relationships are all with balding men in their 30s and 40s who host podcasts. 010
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Arteta's Rattling Reds have taken their final scalp on the TL. 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Absolute irony of posting this but staggered folk are still doing miserable cunt gimmicks in 2026. 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Last night I watched the 2002 Sly Stallone thriller D-Tox (a very generous 3*) and finished Aliens Infestation (2.5*) on the DS and the HD version of Arkham Origins Blackgate (2.5*). An aggressively mediocre Friday night. 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 03/05/2026Having to watch the bulk of Jean Rollin's The Night of the Hunted at 1pm on a Sunday afternoon because I keep trying to watch it at night when everyone else has gone to bed and falling asleep after about 5 minutes. Well I guess this is growing up. 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 29/04/2026Reposting this feels a bit like grandstanding but here we are again. 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 28/04/2026There's a lassie on Virgin Island who's conventionally attractive and is there for religious/medical reasons, and I've seen her described as "smurfing in low elo" and I can't share how funny that is with anyone I actually know. 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Is PONPONPON by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu still part of the broader cultural diet? 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 13/04/2026There's a recurring musical motif in the 1993 erotic thriller Snapdragon, featuring Pamela Anderson, that uses the same notes as the end of the verses to Fall On Me by REM. You don't get that kind of insight in snarky Letterboxd reviews. 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 09/04/2026I've probably given more money to Charles Cecil over my lifetime than any member of my own family. 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Only for one stage, mind. He might be some sort of psychic paedophile? Hard to tell but I enjoyed it. It's a decently good game, I'm telling you. 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 06/04/2026No-one told me so it was a fun surprise but there's no chance you're thinking of playing High On Life 2 so I'll just ruin it for you now: Joe Pera is in it. 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Easy Delivery Co. on Game Pass worth a couple of hours of your bank holiday weekend. A Short Hike meets Euro Truck Simulator. Seen some folk mention an undercurrent of Silent Hill but not for me, Clive. Could have stood to do with more game to it but it's enough to keep away the real world. 021
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 29/03/2026Had the "how the fuck is it 2am?!" jump scare. 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Delighted that this was actually recognised by the game as a relevant plot point. Both the Paranormasight games are subtly so clever. 000
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 27/03/2026We'll always have Everybody Wants Some!! and memes, stan culture and cringe can't take that from us. 010
Yr Friend, DB @notdavidbaddiel.bsky.social · 23/03/2026Going to do a live talks over of the fake live stream of that lad who killed his girlfriend. (Actually wild that you can just go and watch it on YouTube right now but I suppose it itself is not a crime. Fascinatingly grim) 000
