A new announcement from the Lucasfilm Games: New Indiana Jones game and a new open-world Star Wars adventure... I'm getting excited...

How Seahorses give birth.

Good news...

We put an offer on a house today and it was accepted. I'm excited but also not. We need our own living space but at the same time it feels like I'm digging my heels in more and I'll never live in Australia again. I probably wouldn't feel so bad about it if I could have visited this year.

It's hard to know as it requires trusting Mitch McConnell. His relationship with Biden is meant to be quite positive but I still wouldn't put it past him to hold the trial up and make it drag through Biden's first days, slowing his cabinet appointments etc. My guess is he doesn't bring forward the trial/vote

I think it'll a Mando game in the vein of Assassins Creed/Far Cry (I think those games have multiplayer components... but I never play those parts - I just play the singleplayer on those ones). I haven't played an Assassins Creed since the one where it was in Paris (the Pirate one is the best one IMO, by a long distance) - but I think the Far Cry games are pretty fucking ace. I imagine they'd make a Mando game 3rd person though so they have you looking at as much Disney Star Wars IP as possible at all times Yeah, game exclusivity rights are that great... and I don't think EA really did all that great with the Star Wars world tbh. The Star Wars Battlefront reboot was shit and basically just a demo for Battlefront 2, which was less shit (campaign was actually decent, even if the gameplay is pants)... and Battlefront 2 is a good casual multiplayer game if you're into that sort of thing - it's just not really my type of multiplayer game anymore though. The best they did was Jedi Fallen Order, which was brilliant - and I hope that Respawn get to continue making Star Wars games as a result. Because I think Respawn are one of the better developers out there, even though they're owned by EA, and they should get to keep making games while they're still good.

Ubisoft open worlds are usually pretty fucking ace - although they are pretty formulaic so if you play too many of them... they all seem very samey. But this could be really really nice if it goes well. I am very excited about Bethesda's Machine Games studio making an Indiana Jones game! Of the 3 games I've played from Machine Games... 2 of them were very, very, very good (the first of the 2 Wolfenstein reboots) - one was shiiiiiiiiiiiite (the other Wolfenstein game they made). Decent track record - hopefully they make it 3/4 good games!

Congrats @Spike and good luck

Congrats! That’s a big thing (in a good way). I’ve been a home owner for a couple of weeks now. Good feeling but debt for many years. I’m glad you’ve been able to afford something over there. You don’t know for sure that you’ll never live in Australia again mate, this is just the next chapter in your life with your wife and the future could bring anything. I’m hoping we get this pandemic a bit more under control (globally) and we can resume relatively normal air travel again soon as I’m sure you’re bursting to visit again.

Something completely different... Initially wanted to cook pasta alla puttanesca tonight, but forgot that I ran out of pasta a few days ago so had to improvise and made a similar style dip/stew and baked some corn tortilla "chips" to go with it. It was surprisingly good and I'm sure I'll make it again

Big news from Bethesda. I am looking forward to it.
