In an update I didn't quite see coming but really should have, it is now possible to pick up a PS3 for less than the cost of a PS2. When I was building my PS2 LAN, I was able to get slim PS2s for £25-£30 a pop. What the hell happened?

While sorting out things after my dad passed away a few days ago, I managed to get a nice photo of Southampton's Tudor House. A building constructed in 1491, making it more than twice as old as the USA. It's not even the oldest thing in the city, madly enough. #LocalHistory

To everyone who voted this government in, I have to just say thanks. Thank you for making the Internet a much more dangerous place for LGBT+ people of all ages if they want to use social media in the UK. Enjoy getting your ID info off the dark web once the breaches begin. I hope it was worth it.

We have truly entered the bad future when a PS2 costs almost as much as a PS4...

A PlayStation 4 priced at £130 sits next to a PlayStation 2 which is priced at £110. Both are sat on a shelf behind the counter at CEX.

Happy New Year everyone. Rumours of my death have been vastly exaggerated, but I do know I've not been around much. Hoping to improve this for 2026, but going by previous years, I make no promises. 😆

So currently off work with illness, so have decided to mess about with some emulation now I have a powerful enough machine to run games with decent upscaling. All I can think of now is "when are we going to get an HD Bloody Roar game, as Primal Fury looks rather good at higher resolutions?".

After getting some lieu time at work, I have been able to get more chores done than I had planned, which afforded me the chance to try to make sausage rolls. I am notoriously bad with anything pastry related, but despite not looking great, they tasted okay.

Thanks to the magic of eBay and long shipping times (though it still arrived early) a copy of Kaiketsu Zorori: Mezase! Itazura King arrived the other day. I have a Japanese PS2 (I got it for DDR) so I had a good time trying to play it. Not sure the Google Translated text is quite correct, though.

Part of the "real life things that's been preventing me from writing" has been the moving stuff out of father's flat. What this does mean, however, is that I get to replace my old writing desk for an actual bureau. Lots of place to store inks for #FountainPens since my repurposed spice rack is full.

Over the last few weeks I've been off-and-on playing Neopets: The Darkest Faerie on the PlayStation 2. It didn't get released in the UK (got to love ways to play import games on original hardware) so I didn't get to play it when it released, but it's been a good fun time so far. Can recommend.

TK Tiger, checking in. Fast approaching 43 (and feeling every second of it). I joined the community thanks to discovering the Lion King community in 1998 (shoutout to the TLK-L crew here). I don't do selfies on social media, so have an archive photo of me in suit instead (details in alt text).

The suit was rented from a local fancy dress shop for a Christmas party with the local Tae Kwondo group.

That feeling when you get randomly inspired at 1.30am, and end up writing 3 and a half pages when you should be in bed. I love having a writing desk in my bedroom. No electronics, just bedroom stuff, books, and a writing desk. With plenty of fountain pens and ink. Perfect. Now to sleep.
