I know people joke that Sonic is just a “hold right to win” game, but mirror mode in Sonic Origins just feels deeply unconfortable to me!

It’s just… *wrong* somehow… 😅

Kids got Xbox 360s and PS3s for Christmas as five-year-olds. Those kids are now adults and many have kids of their own. In my mind that’s more than enough to qualify them as “retro”. These kids look back fondly on that generation as the consoles they grew up with.

Iv been down and when I am down it's Thief time~

I beat a fan mission a few hours ago and I feel better then I did yesterday!

Lets see if I can use this energy to finish up a single task I assigned myself like a week ago.

Holiday in Switzerland! Something a little different for this blog: I recently spent a whole week in Switzerland, enjoying the gorgeous mountains and lakes! Or at least trying to, when the weather would cooperate… I wrote up...

I finished writing my Switzerland travelogue! I’ve posted it on my blog, GamingFluid (and yes, there is some gaming content in there!) - please check it out, I’ve included more photos from my trip too!

As a resident of one of the boroughs predicted to go to Reform, I hope it’s wrong! 😭

This is a dance off. If you see this, repost with a dance or get eliminated.

Ohh, did they reopen the Pokémon shop?! I need to get myself down there if so!

Looking very on-brand there too, love those yellow tights! Pika pika~ ❤️

I’m sure some character designs are created specifically to trip up cosplayers, whether it’s making overly elaborate multi layer outfits… or ones that might cause them to get arrested for public indecency 😅

Card sorting is...going.

Here is one of my tubs full of stuff. I think Ill sleeve a few starter decks and figure out what to do from there.

I don't exactly know when I'll get a chance to actually play these irl due to lack of people to play with but at least I got online!

This would've been off the back of his appearance in Game of Thrones. Almost all the main cast of that series popped up in movies in the 2010s, but only a few of them were able to make it as "movie stars".

He was indeed!

Anchor Spreadable - Incredible Spreadable (2003, UK) YouTube video by The Hall of Advertising

Remembering back in the pre-YouTube era of 2003 when the popularity of web animations like Weebl & Bob could occasionally lead to bigger things… like an ad for Anchor spread!

(To this day I’ve been known to mumble “incredible” when seeing the product on store shelves… 😅)

Would be weird if it was a rights issue, almost everything to do with Gladiators wound up in the hands of MGM and thus Amazon now.

Drew Black Cat from Marvel Rivals

The new series of Scrubs takes a similar tone and works really well. I’ll have to check out Malcolm if that’s the case!

Pick of the Pops - Paul Gambaccini's tribute to Dale Winton - BBC Sounds Remembering the man who hosted Radio 2’s Pick of the Pops for a decade.

Paul Gambaccini delivered this lovely tribute to him on Pick of the Pops:

My problem is with the phrasing, it implies that you already send texts to your cat knowing that they can’t text you back…

“let’s go have more wacky hijinks in the land of the dead”, ignoring that it’s not really a place to go for day trips both generally and by the rules laid down in the original film…

also that The Book of Life also exists and has a very similar theme and setting… so that’ll be three movies then…

A blast from the past

Erasure - Always (Official 4k Video) YouTube video by Erasure

For context, #totp played the video for Erasure’s Always last night:

Who's up for a quick round of Robot Unicorn Attack? #totp

I didn’t stay too long there, just passed through to get to Meiringen and the Aare Gorge. But yeah, it’s all just lovely there. ❤️

why does my back hurt 🦌

Such a downgrade when DVDs came along and started blocking you from skipping the logos and trailers…

Looking down a hill towards a Swiss village with traditional cabins. A mountain is visible in the distance, with a belt of cloud across it.

A large waterfall cascades down from cliffs, with bridges over it at intervals up the side of the valley.

A photo looking down as a village with log cabins, surrounded by forest. Vast blue sky and mountains in the distance.

Rays of sunlight cut through the clouds over a lake, with hills and mountains on the shore behind them.

I’ve been a bit quiet this week as I’ve been enjoying a holiday in Switzerland! I spent most of the week in the Bernese Oberland region, around Lakes Thun and Brienz, and had a wonderful time hiking in the mountains and relaxing by the lakes… ☺️

Here’s a few photos - I’m writing up a travelogue too!

That could be a commentary on the Baby Boomers starting the counterculture revolution in the 60s and 70s but eventually adopting more cautious and conservative tendencies as they grew older.
