Day 1 in Canada vs day 5 in Canada

Yesterday I played through Aphelion from Don’t Nod (Life is Strange/Tell Me Why) Taking some hints from their other title Jusant, in using a lot of climbing mechanics. They crafted a beautiful space story mixed with a gorgeous walking sim. 1/2

I think I could survive futuristic wasteland. This game seems to disagree... Checking out the Replaced demo! youtu.be/JobUMrTxSxQ

Since attending the WoW: Midnight event over the weekend, I felt like making a return to Azeroth.. Say hello to Glenzig, undead hunter!

After seeing all the cool housing stuff coming to World of Warcraft this weekend, alongside the roadmap for the year ahead in Midnight, I think I might make a comeback for the first time since Burning Crusade: Anyone got any pointers for a lapsed player?

For me it’s this thing. Follows me round the house and has quickly become the way I play the majority of my games

I restarted Clair Obscur this weekend and honestly I’ve spent more time in the new photo mode than I have in gameplay. It’s perfect for making phone wallpapers 🤣

Been one hell of a productive day, smashed out a ton of vids at work (think I hit 10 in total just today) Wrapped up all my freelance work to be done early for Xmas and then got to see my baby boy dressed as a pudding! More days like today please

This last weekend I finished Keeper Double Fine continue to lead the way on unique, heartwarming experiences A few minor performance hiccups aside, this game is art in the truest sense of the word! A genuine joy to experience and I can’t wait to go back and clean up the achievements!

You can judge the heaviness of a band by the amount of members missing sleeves! Bleeding Through had zero sleeves and gave me whiplash 🤘

Being a creator is cool and all but making this lil guy is the coolest thing I’ve ever helped make! 2 weeks later and every day is an absolute joy (once I get some sleep)

After an hour or so in the new Skate, I have to say the game feels like it’s lacking that tangible ‘something’ Everything feels so clinical and clean in the least interesting way. Like it’s a game designed by committee. Hopefully as the game moves to a 1.0 in the future it can add a little heart

Who’s that on @pcgamer.com talking all things Grounded 2?Couldn’t be me, surely!? It was an absolute blast talking to Fraser and Kara about life in a new garden! Why Grounded 2 is already AMAZING! youtu.be/Xrp_Og0y-z4?...

Please add ‘-ai’ to the end of all your Google searches to get ACTUAL results and not the awful AI slop they return Exhibit A:

No, you do not need to play the previous 32 "Expedition" games (Expedition 1-32) to understand Expedition 33. Some gaming forum discussions say it's a standalone game with its own unique story and characters. While the previous games might provide background context, Expedition 33 is designed to be accessible to new players

I’ve already put 23hrs into Death Stranding 2 and haven’t even made it past chapter 6! As an expecting father this time around, the game hits harder than the first one ever did! I’m not going to spoil anything story wise, but the way it handles some of its subject matter got me… Man, what a game

Pauldespawn @pauldespawn.bsky.social · 05/07/2025

I’m about to become insufferable with the amount of pics I take in this game!

This week has been such a vibe! Going to Universal, the Comedy Store, filming all across LA and attending Summer Game Fest. And it’s not over yet! The FGS team have been phenomenal to work with (as per usual) & I can’t wait for you all to see the summer showcase and Live from LA

Just rolled credits on #Wanderstop What a special game! Taking a cozy mechanic and turning it on it's head to shine a lens on burnout and self discovery is a bold move - one that pays off perfectly! If you have a few hours to invest, then this game is well worth it!

Who knew being a cop could be so fun! Picked up The Precinct on a whim as I liked the old school GTA. Ones and ended up putting in too many hours. Kudos to @kwalee.bsky.social and co on the launch!
