Off to Shanghai this morning, so 16 hours of travel ahead of me. Got some books to read, my Switch and the new episodes of the Boys to get me through. So excited for the trip!

The first streaming service to sort out a license agreement with record companies to allow streamers to stream music will immediately get me to sign up. It feels like there's a lot of money being left on the table by those companies now because there's no sensible way to do it

Isn't it weird how we, as a community/society, switched from saying: "I like/don't like that" to: "that's good/bad" -as if we're the authority on quality and personal taste doesn't matter?

I'm really looking forward to trying HighGuard when I get back from my trip in a week and a bit, but I'm genuinely worried they'll shut it down before then. The way the gaming community has rallied around crying out for it's failure is insane to me. Don't we want indie studios making new games?

Just watching Twin Peaks for the first time, and this coupled with finding out about the Peacemaker intro is making me a little less fond of Alan Wake 2. I thought it was crazy creative and now I'm seeing it was just full of references to things I hadn't seen, that border on just stealing bits.

I left Twitter because of the bots and terrible takes and self promotion and needless arguments. Spent a week on Threads and it's increasingly the same. Maybe a good idea to keep my circle of who I follow pretty small on here. I just want to have somewhere to vent and read interesting things.

My email and twitter DMs are just full of constant bot/AI spam now. How the hell do people get messages from real strangers anymore, I'm assuming everything is spam if I don't know the sender.

So many great games at the moment, Nightreign, F125, Clair Obscure, Monster Train 2, AND there's a new console tomorrow, a new Mario Kart, a Dune MMO AND Keigh3 - another great time to be a gamer
