iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I've played WoW on and off (mostly off) since Mists of Pandaria and would say I've never been super into it, but even without the nostalgia I am down bad to jump into WoW Forever. Craving a chonky MMO and seeing beta gameplay is only getting me more excited.

Hello Bsky friends, been a while 😉 I'm back from a Japan trip + some extra time to catch up on life stuff, so you'll start seeing me around again. Looking forward to seeing what everyone's been up to!

I've been fairly inactive here lately, just due to life stuff being a bit busy. But I hope everyone's enjoying the crazy September release season responsibly (or otherwise) so far! Going to be on holiday from tomorrow so probably still mostly quiet, but I'll try post some pics from TGS! 🎮

Only managed to play a couple of hours of Orbitals last night, but what I did get to experience was class. Every frame is art, mechanics are simple but fun and I just adore all the little touches sprinkled throughout. Already can't wait to play more tonight!

Finally sat down to write about my experience with the AYN Thor. Part review, part horror story, part explanation of why people won't shut up about this thing in the first place. The takeaway: this is my deserted island video game console, but with a big asterisk attached.

A selfie of me wearing a black Yellowcard T shirt with yellow writing on it. I have dark blonde hair and dark blue eyes and I am smiling into the camera. I am wearing black square-framed glasses. In the background, you can see an open white door and a window into a room.

A photo of my tuxedo cat Bobo lying on a grey-brown sofa looking into the camera. He is blind so his pupils are unusually huge and dilated. In the background. You can see a messy coffee table and games controllers.

A meme (not created by me) showing a sleeping Pikachu plush on a pile of pink cushions. The caption reads: I WOULD BE UNSTOPPABLE
IF NOT FOR THE TIRED SLEEPY

A screenshot of a sun appearing on the horizon with a cat’s face on it. You can see the cat has a white face and it looks like it is smiling, but it is too zoomed in to see any other features of the cat.

The sun is rising over green fields and hills, and in the bottom left you can see some yellow flowers. It looks like the setting for the kids’ TV show Teletybbies, popular at least in the UK in the 1990s.

I came VERY close to Googling whether I'd made the right choices in Pentiment. I hated not knowing. But I also knew that Googling it would ruin exactly what the game was so successfully doing to me: making me feel as uncomfortable as the protagonist. HEAVY spoilers ahead 👇

Nioh 3 done, solid game! I was a bit weary of the enemy roster feeling so similar to the first 2 games, and I don't think being open-world really added much in this instance. But the combat remains incredibly gratifying to succeed in, and I loved some of the new additions like Ninja stance.

House of the Dragon season 3 was incredibly good. I enjoyed the second season well enough but this felt like a huge step up, I don't think there was one episode I didn't love this time around. Really glad we continue to get amazing series in this world, outside of Game of Thrones.

Finished Assassins Creed Resynced today and while it grew on me and I enjoyed it overall, there were a few stretches where I really wasn't having a great time. Funnily enough, it actually made me respect the modern AC entries more for some of the areas they have improved on over time. 🧵

Splatoon Raiders is a lot of fun so far 🦑 Every single mission makes you feel like you're progressing one way or another power-wise. Combat is solid, tons of weapon and gear variety and it becomes really hectic (in a good way) when they start mixing multiple enemy types in larger volumes!

If you have yet to play the original Metal Gear Solid then it's currently available to play for free on Steam until Monday. It's a short game (around 12 hours) so this is plenty of time to do a first playthrough of one of the most important games ever made, for free!
