As an owner of both consoles this generation, why own an Xbox next generation device if all their games are on PS6? When you have PS6 exclusives, plus all Xbox games...is game pass enough? As I play Xbox most, it's sad to see the defeat of the hardware strat. But I understand the business decision.

This week's cinema trip was to see "Wolfman". 🐺 I was waiting for something fresh or different but it ended with a generally predictable story with no surprises. Perhaps a 6/10 from me. Some good elements, I liked the tension at the start but when they got to the house it all became very cliche.
Yesterday I went to see #Nosferatu. It was...okay. I was engaged with the storyline, but just very dark resolutions to plot points. A successfully uncomfortable watch. Probably not something I would buy to see again. Any followers seen it? ⚰️🧛♂️
Not much of a book reader, but looking to change that. My current book on the go is Holly by Steven King. I really enjoyed Fairy Tale! 📚 This will be my third book in a couple of years. So far I've read Fairy Tale and Project Hail Mary. Both good times.
Busy Christmas break, using some spare time finishing the achievements for these...
But, that's just a reflection of having black or white opinions on things to get attention online. If you haven't tried those games I mentioned, Ubisoft Plus is a pretty affordable way of trying them out.
Seemingly a controversial gaming opinion: I think Ubisoft gets dunked on too much by influencers and their sheep these days. I've been enjoying Star Wars Outlaws, Avatar and their DLC last year. Beautifully crafted game worlds and attention to detail. I'm looking forward to Assassin's Creed Shadows!
Not sure if you know if I'd be able to buy the series all at once in the UK, like on Amazon or YouTube, once it finishes in the US?
Some goals for next year:
🏃🏻More movement/general exercise.
📚Read more (comics/books)
🎨Start and finish a personal creative project outside of work hours.
To be fair, if I do those, that's some pretty significant progress. Exercise is key. I feel like I sit around a lot...getting older! 🧓🏻
Hi Bluesky! I'm bad at social media but let's start with a round up of stuff in the Christmas hols:
🤠Beaten Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: 1000/1000 gamerscore (brilliant game)
🐣Cleared a room to repurpose it for a new Newlove next year.
🧀Eaten lots of party food.
🔫Replaying Cyberpunk 2077
Curious what mode you prefer now that you've added this...I'm going to guess the original?
Retopology is hard and I'm really slow when trying to do face topology ☹️ I need more practice. Good luck!
