The last game that truly gave me the feeling you described is Lies of P. It was my favourite game of 2023 and the 60 or so hours I put into beating it were very well spent.

Don’t set yourself alight to keep yourself warm. Not always easy, but it is something I believe. You can only do so much if someone isn’t willing to help themself.

Firstly, I upvoted the post because I’d like to see more discussion in this community rather than mere news.

As for your idea about spoiling your ballot. I’m not sure I understand the point of spoiling if you yourself would admit that you’d happily vote Green. Vote Green (if possible).

A sudden uptick in votes for other parties might do more to get the bigger parties to take notice then drawing a dick on your ballot paper.

Definitely spending the day with my young children, going to a soft-play and then going out for a lunch filled with ‘no no no don’t throw that’ before we return home for a fun evening of 'daaaaaaady, daaaaaaaady’ entirely on my own in total silence apart from the sound of my TV with a videogame on, a fresh cup of tea in my mug and maybe a takeaway pizza on the way.

Rocket League. I probably play a solid 3 hours of that every single week, and have done for the last two years. Before those two years I probably played a solid 7-8 hours a week. It’s my forever game, the game I play when I’m bored, the game I play when I’ve got a lot on my mind and just want to fill the void in my head with something safe and easy.

I’m interested to see if they provided a list or if they asked people to submit their own choices. Sackboy and Arthur Morgan are…I mean I’d argue Arthur isn’t even the most iconic character in his own game. Surely that honour goes to John Marston?

Okay so for context I’ve not played BG3. However I do consider myself pretty upto date with my gaming stuff (I run a videogame community afterall). I couldn’t tell you which of the characters on the front of the BG3 box-art is Shadowheart; not the foggiest.

As for Croft. I wonder if they’d ‘commissioned’ this poll before the release of the recent game if she’d have even made the top 10. For the most part, her star has fallen pretty significantly from where she was in the 90’s.

I’m a Labour member and I don’t want to see them get this sort of majority. There needs to be some sort of functioning opposition to keep them honest and to serve as a threat that the good times won’t last forever.

The woman in question told me that in order to help my toddler through his tantrums and general toddler-ness me and Mummy should opt for a strict ‘mimic the crying’ strategy.

She wants us to cry when he cries. Won’t be trying that one. My ‘gentle parenting’ philosophy may have been abandoned at the birth of my second child, but I’m not sure I’m quite ready to traumatize my child in such an overt way just yet.

As I said, I’ve had a challenging week.

Before it got challenging however I managed to find a little time to play…

Returnal

Initial impressions are that this game rocks. And I do think that holds true for the first ten hours. The issue I’m having, is that…I cannot stand rogue likes, and this is a rogue like. Every fibre of my being wishes it was a more souls like experience, but it aint. And the thought of having a 6-7 hour run just seems so impossibly far away that it may push me away entirely. However, that’s a Me thing. This game is amazing, I just wish I could love it for what it was.

Suzerain: Kingdom of Rizia DLC

I like shooty shooty but I also like talky talky. The KoR DLC for Suzerain is exactly that. You take the role of a newly anointed monarch as he tries to lead his country through the maze of world politics. There’s twenty minute long conversations about public infrastructure funding, the occasional assassination attempt and a lot of driving in cars with your personal guard. Yeah. I love this stuff.

I don’t for one second doubt that there’s some serious problems with Ofsted and how they conduct their inspections. I do however wonder if those being inspected are in the best position to decide if we need to blow it up.

Nah I’m fairly sure it’s the fact that I live with two people who spend most of their time sticking their filthy little hands in and onto things that have previously been touched by other, equally as filthy little hands.

Kids are disgusting.

Based on these comments it’s absolutely Long-Covid. I mean, I’ve never had COVID before, and I’ve got two very young children who spread disease like you wouldn’t believe…but it’s definitely Long-Covid.

So I started (and finished…ish) Hollow Knight. I got the first ending and I was planning on going back for the true ending but now I’m a little out of it, I’m actually not sure I want to go back in and experience the game at its most difficult. I had a real good time, but the difficulty spike is supposed to be pretty huge and that’s not why I went to that game.

Also been playing Death Must Die which is a Hades-meets-Vampire-Survivor game. It’s in early access but it’s absolutely hitting the right spot. I’m probably going to jump off for now though, I don’t want to exhaust my time with the game before it’s out.

Finally, I’ve just picked up the poker game that everyone is currently playing (I can’t remember the name) called Baletro…maybe

And Deep Rock Galactic: Survivors because apparently I like these Auto-shooter things.
