Finished Witch on the Holy Night, an excellent visual Novel with wonderful voice Actors and Background Music. The Story is also good and the first in a shared universe, so I might get the follow-ups at one time. The Characters are worked out over time very good and even the side characters are very lovely.... heiji.me

Started Witch on the Wholy Night yesterday and so far I really enjoy it, kinda different Visual Novel in that you (so far) only read the story and don’t have to make decisions or move around, but I enjoy it nonetheless.

Beautiful Artstyle and voice acting🥰

Finished Star Wars: Jedi Survivor last night, such a great Star Wars Story, loved it as much as the first one🙌 They used the force moves and skills really well, the Jump ’n Run/Platformer parts were really good and loosened up the combat play. They also moved the characters forward in meaningful ways and B... heiji.me

I hate it when Meetings take way longer than scheduled and I miss trains because of it😩

And then, of course, the train is also getting delayed on the way…🙄

At least I can play some Jedi Survivor later to relax 😮‍💨

Almost finished Final Fantasy VII Remake but will do that tomorrow. I’m only missing 2 more bosses but it’s late and then there’s also the Intermission DLC to consider, so tomorrow it is.

Can’t wait to see the finish :D

George R. R. Martin really is one of us, a man of the people.
Like us, he takes on every opportunity to procrastinate with new books, tv-shows, games etc instead of finishing his game of thrones book…

Enjoyed the State of Play last night, even if only because Silent Hill 2 FINALLY got a release date and I’m totally in love with the announcement of a new Astro Bot game, I so much love these little guys and I could have the music on endless repeat all time🎮

Read another article about the supposed PS5 Pro that might be shipping this holiday season and I still don’t know if it will be worth it. If it’s only a little spec bump like many rumors are suggesting I don’t know why we would want/need it as there’s still many games that don’t push the current gen PS5 to... heiji.me

This month has been very good to me so far, I love all the 3 or 4 day work weeks because of all the bank holidays. I even managed to play a sizeable chunk out of Dave the Diver and reached Chapter 6 yesterday night🥳

@DaveyCraney @numericcitizen it's very sad, my current plan against this is searching via Kagi and every video that looks remotely like clickbait gets summerized, only then if it looks worth looking into I open it. Save a little frustration at least

I wonder how we're still not able to have a REAL youtube competitor, I mean there's peertube and vimeo but nothing remotely of the scale of youtube🤔

Hopefully we'll figure out something better in the not too distant future to support the real, good creators

@GabrielCornish most definitely! But I totally understand it, it's a big time commitment, but if you want to do it, I would suggest starting with Yakuza 0 if you want to dive into the Kiryu Story or go with Yakuza 7 if you only want to play the newer ones

@DaveyCraney I loved those too, the newsstand app was great! Read a ton of wired, new yorker and there was this one news paper that was made especially for it, that one I liked very much, too I think the current E-Book Standard already allows for most of this, unfortunately almost no one is using those features anymore :(
