Finished Belmont's Curse with 100% completion! Man, what a welcome return for Castlevania. The clues in particular were fun, part 'Vania, part 'Brainia. Fresh and modern, while honouring the series' legacy with its characters, locations, enemies and weapons. 8.5/10 easy.

I'm 95% complete with Castlevania according to the pause menu, but it feels like I still have so much to do!

Solving the Castlevania organ puzzle made me feel like such a big boy

She forgot to clear her lens

Wow, I really had slop for every meal today huh?

If anyone ever asks me if 3D printing is worth the cost of entry, I simply show them something like this. Then tell them "no, probably not."

Another massive TV show has featured Metroid incorrectly, after House got it wrong years ago (twice)...

Wenzels bakery, a national chain, using AI to advertise a fucking breakfast bap? What a joke...

A $1200 console is doomed to fail. Every day Xbox/Sony manage convince me to never buy one of their products again.

I totally forgot that this was coming out so soon and all of a sudden I really need to get it. Will be a blast with the kids. Check out this review by @nathanellingsworth.bsky.social now

I have been waiting for this for SO long!!

Hell Yeah Alucard

I made a chicken hotpot, incredible

I keep being recommended Dungeon Crawler Carl from every angle (friends, family, Goodreads). I tried the first book 3 years ago and HATED it. Surely it can't be that good?

I'm only buying one more game this year: Ocarina of Time. Still got to finish Control, Onimusha, The Adventure of Elliot and Orbitals. Then I think Castlevania and The Witcher 3 Remastered will keep me company until January.

THERE IS A NEW CASTLEVANIA GAME COMING OUT TOMORROW

I've still been maintaining and streamlining my home server, and the reading applications have evolved and matured so much and so quickly. My Grimmory eBook library, Audiobookshelf library and Bookbridge sync tool all integrate so seamlessly with one another, and in turn with my new Kobo eReader!

So many video games I need to play, but I just upgraded to a colour E-Reader...

I batch cooked a healthy whole foods stew and a jambalaya this week, we are eating VERY well.

I'm not kidding

Nourished by a weekend of touching grass

Metroid Dread has sold out on CEX, costs £90 on Amazon, and is selling for £60+ on eBay second hand. Ravenous is going to be huge.

I was quite prophetic about the Nintendo Switch 2's second year, wasn't I?

I am reading that the Castlevania Demo runs at 60fps on Switch 2!

Cutting this down to 9 games was so rough, but man the GBA/DS were so influential for my tastes growing up. I didn't discover Monster Hunter and Souls games until my 20s, so I could probably do a second one of these...

Hey I hope you guys are ready for the 10 year anniversary of Breath of the Wild in 7 months time!!

Why are you all talking about this woman's blood??

Fully intended on playing Onimusha over the last week and a half, but I picked up Splatoon Raiders again. After beating Saros, something kind of unlocked in my brain and I am finding greater depth and synergy in my Raiders builds. Finding 5-star items really tickles my brain, too.

As if I wasn't hyped enough, a launch trailer set to a Cardigans song??? God I am so sad I won't be able to play this until next Sunday...

Just realised this isn't coming to Switch 2 😭 Even neo-castlevania is allergic...

It's called X-Com because you can replace the X with ANY IP and it's a certified banger game.

smaller cartridge alert!

Cool, Nintendo confirmed Ocarina of Time will support VRR. The first game launching with support! (that we currently know about...) www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

Listening to the Super Metroid soundtrack on my nighttime walk to add a feeling of isolation and atmospheric exploration
