My wife tabled that one but it just didn't seem to fit.

Our friend has a female dog called Zelda so it just makes sense lol

I wasn't 100 percent sure if I ever wanted a dog again after our last pupper left us at the young age of 8. However, meet the newest member of the family, Link (or maybe Loki) 🐶 By all means suggest names, we haven't fully made up our minds yet. I'll check again in the morning. Night night.

yes I've been MIAa for a little while, but it's been for a good reason. I swear sometimes Scotland isn't a real place.

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

My morning alarm and I have a mature working relationship. It makes an unreasonable demand. I reject it three times. We eventually reach a compromise where I’m late.

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Look, I'm not saying I feel old but I'm about to go in and see Electric Callboy and if someone offers me money for my tickets I'll take it and go home to my bed.

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Well it looks like I'm about to have a problem 🕹️🎮

To this day “One quick game” remains the most successful lie I'll ever tell myself, narrowly beating “why did I walk in this room.”

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Why change the habit of a lifetime though? 🕹️🎮

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Never seen that one before, that was great 😃

Dolly Parton Yesterday. And another Icon in Tim Curry gone today this week can go jump up itself. RIP Frank N Furter, you can go home now.

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

She seemed to be one of the good ones in this world, rest well Dolly.

Young gamer me would have absolutely LOVED this! 🕹️🎮

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

I wanted to marry my English teacher when she was released from prison...... ..... But according to her you can't end a sentence with a proposition.

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Not this guy, my library of bad enjoyable games is immense.

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Look, Gaming doesn’t need to “justify itself” as art or productivity. It’s okay for things to just be enjoyable. I spend way more time on 7/10 games than AAA releases because they try to just make a good game instead of a flawed masterpiece. 🕹️🎮

My wife and I were arguing about what the correct term for a mediaeval soldier was...... ..... It was getting late though, so we decided to call it a Knight.

Welcome to the future of gaming, this part sucks! 🕹️🎮

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Me and wifey decided to watch lord of the rings over the weekend and I just realised this is the first time I've watched the first movie since seeing it in the cinema. Leaving great movies for a long time before watching again makes it so much sweeter. What a movie.

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

What's making me feel my age today was that I had to explain to what was technically a fully grown adult what I meant by "the internet used to make a sound"

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

You can't lie to me, we've all done this at least once 🎮🕹️

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

And that's not even all the way back for some of us 🕹️🎮

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

What does the sign on an out of business brothel say? ...... Were closed. Beat it.

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

He sure does have a point though 🎮🕹️

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

Man it feels weird to wake up in the morning and not have World Cup football to look forward to anymore.

031

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

That's the part that's making me enjoy it, probably Sekiro helped.

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

I think I can speak (I hope) for a lot of football fans that the addition of a half time show to the world cup final is one "Americanism" we don't need. The world cup is supposed to be about the game, not a celebrity fan fest. P.s. it was cringe as hell.

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Hey I've told you before I'm not really grumpy lol. I am beardy though

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

I've never got the hang of it anyway lol. That's why it was always memes and dad jokes.

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

I haven't posted in so long that I don't even know what to say anymore. So anyway I started playing Ghost of Tsushima to get through my game backlog and it's SUCH a beautiful game. I enjoyed AC Shadows, but this one is so much better.

Good news, I got cast in a film about a bakery, it's not a big part though..... ..... Just a small roll.

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

Well damn if I just popped my head back up into reality and realised I haven't posted anything in over 10 days. 🤷

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

I just found out that a high amount of crows have lost their ability to communicate... ... Scientists are struggling to try and find the Caws.

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

I can honestly say I'm starting to get annoyed at a lot of early access titles. It's great to get into games early , but by the time their roadmap is complete to their 1.0 launch I've already moved on to about 20 other games. 🕹️

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

The older I get, the more I value games that respect my time. I don’t need endless content, I need a good experience that can be had in short play sessions.

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

Sometimes all you need is a little perspective 🕹️🎮

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

I want to try and stay more active on social media, but trying to care about anything I see when it's all AI slop means I generally only check every few days now, see more AI rot and log off again disappointed.

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

Breaking this one out again because it really annoys some people for some reason 🕹️🎮

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

The single greatest gaming decision I ever made was deciding to add 64GB of RAM at a time when I said "it's so cheap, why not". Talk about luck.

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

Gaming discourse is exhausting. Play what you enjoy. If it’s shite, at least it’s your shite.

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

Its never a bright future for those demons 🕹️🎮

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

I’ve spent this entire 4 day long weekend doing “nothing,” and somehow I’m still exhausted. Honestly it's impressive, really.

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

Or any kind of day to be fair 🕹️🎮

Grumpy Scotsman @thatgrumpyscotsman.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

I’m not unmotivated. I’m just highly selective about what deserves my energy.

My daughter said to me "What rhymes with orange"? I pondered this for a while and replied... ... "No it doesn't"
