Blast Corps, which is such a fun, little game. We’ve got a stupid amount of work to do at home (and work in general) so my gaming this week will be limited - but I’ll imagine I’ll do a few more quest points in Pokémon Scarlet, maybe some more Nintendo Online silliness, and I want to try out Remote Play on my laptop at some point and see if it’s worth pursuing or not.

If you haven’t, get the Online Expansion. It’s affordable and at least for me, has already been value for money - and I still have about 8 games I actually want to finish, no just play for 20 minutes and think “that was nice.”

Twice this week I’ve had some pretty bad dreams. First was being a POW during a war and being part of a group that decided to escape, except all he others tried to dash across a field and were shot, so it was me left trying to get away with dogs and soldiers after me. Last night was being at a park and seeing a satellite fall from be sky with a fighter jet tailing it. Assumed it was a controlled fall, but the jet just smashed into the ground after it, then a load of planes, objects etc just started falling out of the sky. Though the planes were moving really erratically, like the pilot had some control but it wasn’t working correctly. Ran back to my family to find my wife and daughter at home, unaware. We drive away to find my sister and find a basement to then see a load of missiles, essentially carpet bombing the ground. We decide to leave the country, so drive away again but as we’re going we all begin to feel light headed and relaxed. I then see people lying down in the street, so realise a gas must have also been released. So run to the car, drive to a rural part of the country and stay there. Suffice to say, once I woke up, it was very much a ‘fuck that!’ moment.

I shall be getting this and all of the rare games will be played.

I’m not expecting it, but it would be nice to be surprised. Pentiment I would however love to play.

More Pokémon because I’m ridiculous. I don’t even think I like it, the loop is just enough.

I’m both awful and impatient when it comes to painting. I’m a little bit happy that our house needs a fair bit of repair work soon because it means I don’t have to redecorate our downstairs and only need to paint upstairs white (with maybe a father wall in a few bedrooms).

I had zero interest in Helldivers 2 until basically every journalist has ben going nuts over it and now I’m sorely tempted.

Yes, though it’s collaborative. But we’ve painted rooms various colours, various things hanging up etc - though I can’t say the 200 odd books I’ve got lung around are displayed, but just stored in plain sight.

We tend to buy Barista Oat milk, though I still use semi-skimmed milk for tea and cereal.

It had a horrible reputation for being pay to win at launch…that’s continually pushed it down the play list since it released, despite loving Tolkien and the first game.

I’m not going to ask how much you’ve accrued in 16 years, but genuinely interested to know if I can stretch for, I don’t know, 40 years? That’s just why I mentioned returning back to work.

Will you end up going back into work and stash that into a ‘later in life’ pension, or do you have another plan in mind? I’m vaguely hoping that if a few circumstances line up and work out well, my wife and I may be able to wrangle an early retirement (aiming for 60) through a bit of property investment, some inheritance bits and bobs, and possibly some actual investing if we ever actually end up with spare cash.

Until I get the proper spiritual successor No Mercy, I won’t be buying one.

I need to consider how I can arrange to retire early. In the UK, general talk is that state retirement age will be 71! I have a teacher pension that I pay into, and hopefully a state pension will still be a thing…but 71 is just ridiculous. 60 might be more viable.

Keep the tracks with Nintendo online, have 32 new ones and then some DLC as well. I’d imagine there would be full migration.

Fortunately no, the closet would be injuries from rugby that made a week or so uncomfortable.

I planned on a lie in today but at about 2am my daughter woke up, so had to settle her back down, then at 5am, my dog barked to get let out, then I noticed a puddle of water in my conservatory, which meant I had to go outside into the rain to find out what caused it. In the guttering, a piece of wood or something had fallen and mostly blocked it off, so I’m guessing it chucked it down last night and caused a bit of a mini flood - hence the water. Either that or something more malicious happened, but I won’t know that until the next time it rains heavily and my wall dries out. Suffice to say, with all that, I was pretty awake, so I played some Ragnarok. Update: still a bit drizzly out so whilst the little gamer.tv watched the Lion King, I evolved a Magikarp and a Skiploom in Scarlett and also started to level up a 14 Nucli. I don’t like my gras type though so I might see if I caught something worth evolving thy can cover ice types as well.

A part of me wants to reread the Dark Tower books as they’re fantastic, but there’s so much new, it can be hard to read old.

Based on how much time I spend playing game on my TV, be how big his looks, if I buy his at release I may finish it by the end of 2025?

Ramblin’ Man was lovely. Billy Connolly has a wonderful outlook on both life and death and writes about it beautifully. I’v no starts Small Things like These which may hit close to home.

I hope this means, in a roundabout way, I’ll get to play both new Rare IPs on my PS5/Nintendo console and that Rare Replay will come out on the other platforms.

I didn’t care about the Indiana Jones game until I had a chance to play it and now I care. I’m so fickle.

My daffodils agree

Pokemon Violet is pretty fun but good lord, I’ve not played an actual ‘big’ game that runs this poorly. I mean, it doesn’t change my enjoyment but this is a game that really must be played on an emulator
