As I haven’t played for several months, I decided I would update #Fortnite and just drop in to mess around for a while. Well…

I hope you’ll all join me on #Twitch later today for the very first look at #Subnautica2, released today in Early Access. 7pm BST, 2pm EST.

Cover art for Subnautica 2. A pair of humanoid figures in diving suits, in the middle of a vast underwater landscape, filled with vague outlines of tentacled leviathans and a very great deal of purple coral

This time my #EldenRing build was centred on perfumes. Elizabeth Arden (pictured) was essentially a DEX build - got the nagakiba early and mostly used Unsheathe, which is way more powerful than I’d appreciated - but with extensive use of perfume consumables.

A young woman with a pale texture sits on a wooden throne. She wears a dark robe covered by a brown tabard. Dead leaves are scattered across the ground. Behind her are ornately carved stone pillars.

Another successful #EldenRing run. Grand Alf (geddit?) becomes Elden Lord. This was an almost entirely sorcery-only run. I briefly used the short sword, but most of the time it wasn’t necessary. I also had a play with Adula’s Moonblade, I can see why people like it.

An old man sits on a carved wooden throne. He has long hair and a long beard, both grey, and he wears rather scruffy brown robes. Behind him are ornately carved stone pillars. There are brown leaves scattered across the ground.

Another #EldenRing run complete. Yumiko becomes Elden Lord, dressed in the Zamor set which I haven’t worn before. I’ve now beaten the game with every starting class (although experienced players know that starting class isn’t very relevant).

A young woman of East Asian appearance sits on a wooden throne. She is wearing a metal breastplate with thin rags draped over her shoulders, waist and legs. Behind her are large decorated stone pillars, and the ground beneath her bare feet is strewn with golden leaves

WaywardPython @waywardpython.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

Naked Norman becomes Elden Lord. #EldenRing This was a more difficult run than usual as my lower defence meant a lot of the hair’s-breadth survival tended to go against me, and it was harder to avoid status effects. But the win is what matters.

A naked man (apart from a small loincloth) sits on a wooden throne. He has green skin, very, very short hair and bulging muscles. Like a bald Incredible Hulk.

Finished Elden Ring again. Tracey from HR puts a curse upon the entire land.

A sour-faced young blonde woman sits on a wooden throne. She wears a grey-black outfit of breastplate and greaves. The entire image is shrouded in grey fog, and there is an air of desolation

Currently downloading the #Fortnite Winter Wonderland update. I can’t play a match because of my bad arm. I just want to sit in the lobby and watch my preferred skin doing the Mariah Carey emote. I can’t describe how well they go together.

Oops, I beat the game for the ninth time. Baga Yaba (not a typo) was the first proper mage build I’ve done. By the end I was barely using melee at all, some of those sorceries are so strong. #EldenRing

An elderly, grey-haired woman, clad in a long navy blue robe with a red sash around her shoulders, sits on a wooden throne. She has an expression of severity and authority. Behind her are great stone decorated columns. The whole scene is awash with sunlight

WaywardPython @waywardpython.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

And with that, I complete #EldenRing for the seventh time. But, for the first time, the Frenzied Flame ending.

A woman clad in a brown robe stands inside a ring of fire. Her arms are stretched forward and her head is thrown back. But we cannot see her head, it’s entirely burning with flame

WaywardPython @waywardpython.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

Fiamma acts as kindling for the Erdtree as I pursue, for the first time, the Frenzied Flame ending in #EldenRing. (‘Fiamma’ being the Italian for flame. It seemed right.)

A dark-haired, somewhat evil-looking woman, dressed in a brown robe with wide sleeves, looks at her hand which has ignited with a strong flame. Dark clouds loom in the background

Seen from a bird’s eye view, a dark haired woman spreads her arms as she is engulfed with flames. The whole image is suffused with strong fire - only her head seems unaffected by the flames

WaywardPython @waywardpython.bsky.social · 18/09/2025

Beat #EldenRing for the sixth time. I normally play defensively, so I attempted a run without a shield. Once I found the Ice Spear ash of war, it was pretty much plain sailing. Maybe I’ve finally got gud. I present Zerala of Bota, Elden Lord.

A dark-skinned woman, vaguely resembling Beyoncé, sits on a wooden throne. She is dressed in a blue-brown robe with armour plating. Behind her is the front of a cathedral-like building with two stone columns. The entire area is covered in grey ash.

WaywardPython @waywardpython.bsky.social · 07/09/2025

Just me beating #EldenRing for the fifth time. I was going for a big bonk build and had some fun with the large club and the rusted anchor. But in the end I used a variety of differently infused greatswords.

A severe-looking, red-haired, bearded man sits on a large wooden throne. He wears a massive suit of golden armour. Behind him are two columns in vaguely Gothic style. The whole picture is bathed in warm yellow sunlight.

WaywardPython @waywardpython.bsky.social · 07/09/2025

Another #EldenRing achievement: I beat Malenia at the first attempt! (Once you discover you can knock her out of waterfowl with a jumping heavy attack she’s much less scary.)

Our hero, his back to us, stands in the middle of an arena consisting of tree roots and scattered white flowers. He is wearing a large cloak and carries a huge spiky rust-coloured club over his right shoulder. At the bottom of the screen are Malenia’s dying words: “I’m sorry. I finally met my match.”

WaywardPython @waywardpython.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

Proud of myself for beating the Dragon Tree Sentinel in Farum Azula without cheesing him with poison like I normally do. Toughest non-boss fight in the game IMO. #EldenRing

Against a background of grey craggy cliffs, our bearded hero stands with his greatsword over his shoulder. As proof of his achievement a pop-up box confirms he has gained the Malformed Dragon Set - a poor reward, as it may be the game’s ugliest armour set. Never mind, the reward lies in beating the boss, not in getting his crappy clothes

WaywardPython @waywardpython.bsky.social · 08/07/2025

Beat #EldenRing for the third time. Hardest run yet. I don’t know why people talk about the mage being the easiest build, it’s definitely not better than bleed or big bonk.

The conclusion to Elden Ring. A young, gender-neutral person with blonde hair and a pale face, wearing brown robes, sits on a wooden throne looking straight at us. Behind them are two huge columns of sun-kissed stone.

WaywardPython @waywardpython.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

And this is the point where I died. Are. You. Kidding. Me. #EldenRing

Boss health bar for the final boss in Elden Ring. The boss has a sliver of health left at the point when I die. Barely a couple of pixels. It can’t have been much more than 1hp.

WaywardPython @waywardpython.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

To cap off this excellent day, I beat #Malenia again. I’m actually beginning to think this fight isn’t as hard as people say. #EldenRing

End of the fight. A figure in red armour, with a white hood, stands with her back to us. She is holding a sword and shield. In front of her is a huge pinkish explosion as the boss perishes.

A yellow notice across the screen on a dark background, with the game visible behind, reads DEMIGOD FELLED. Below it is a pop-up box showing Malenia’s Great Rune.

Incredible session of #Balatro on stream today. I never saw how anyone could possibly get 100 million chips from one hand.

Game Over screen from Balatro, showing a personal high score of over 28 billion. Yes, you read that right.

Can’t stop watching the Mariah Carey emote on the Glimmer skin. #Fortnite (Alt: three images of a Fortnite character dancing. The figure is a blonde woman wearing a princess outfit in powder blue. It’s all delightful.)

Five hundred career wins. If you’d told me - when I started almost exactly seven years ago - that I’d achieve this, I’d have laughed at you.

That’s the solo win wrapped for the season. But I might carry on doing solos just for the sheer pleasure of revisiting the map.

Sink in the men’s room at a restaurant in Amsterdam. Someone appears to have vomited semi-liquid peanut butter over it. Or perhaps it’s a design feature? It’s Amsterdam after all.

There is a large graveyard filled with my enemies. I do not wish to add to it, but will if given no choice. Those who pick fights with me do so at their own peril, but maybe this is their lucky day.

The Fishstick skin from Fortnite. A goofy looking goldfish in some kind of canvas great scratches its head. It appears to be entirely unthreatening and perhaps a little confused.

If you see this, post any photo in your gallery with no explanation.

A fictional character you’d give an invite code to. I feel Okoye would shake things up a little, or at least put up a hell of a defence if it all turns to shit.

Danai Gurira as Okoye in the Marvel film Black Panther. A shaven-headed black woman in red armour carrying a frighteningly huge spear.

Search your camera roll for art. Not 100% sure, but I think this is Metropolitní Katedrála Svatého Víta (St Vitus Cathedral) in Prague.

A splendid ornamental stature cast in (probably) bronze. A helmeted figure, possibly female, reclines with her arm on a column. To her right is a cherub holding a large candle above its head. In the background is a great deal of Gothic architecture and stained glass.

Using an image, show a movie you are sure you have watched more than 10 times. This will surprise no one.

An image from ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’. King Arthur confronts the black knight whose arms he has chopped off.
I’m now wondering how the black knight is holding the sword.

Drop something blue from your gallery. Staroměstské náměstí (Old Town Square), Prague

Old Town Square in Prague at twilight. The sky is a rich deep blue, overlooking the square which is bathed in a warm yellow streetlight glow. In the background are beautiful middle-Europe old buildings. A few people in warm coats stroll along. There is the faintest sheen of rain on the cobblestones.
