So I just saw that pic of Aloy that the gamer douchebros are losing their boners over this week...

And she looks suspiciously like me in my year 8 school photo 🤣

Think I should pull a Lohan and sue em 😜.

Gonna have to dig up that photo now, lol.

Okay, the fuck? So, my copy of Cyberpunk 2077 arrived today.

Or at least I *think* it did?

See, I had the email from Royal Mail saying my parcel was being delivered between 8 and 12 today blah blah blah. And a parcel gets delivered. Feels like a game, but I don't open it coz I'm still playing AC:V so I shove it on the pile of unopened parcels containing xmas prezzies and the new Yakuza and stuff.

Or I *think* I did.

Fast forward to this evening. I grab the aforementioned pile of parcels in order to wrap the prezzies. I open all of em. Yakuza is there. Cyberpunk isn't. I'm like 'hmmm, must've left it in the other room'. Go check. Can't see it. I wasn't thorough, but there's only so many places I would put it down.

Now I'm second guessing myself as I had several parcels arrive today. So I go to check the tracking info on Royal Mail. It's still showing it as 'in transit' at the Peterborough sorting office. But the last timestamp is just after 10AM, which means it almost certainly should've been delivered.

And now I dunno what to think and it's fucking with my head to the point of dissociation. Did the game arrive or didn't it? And if so, where the fuck has it gone?

Guess it's an excuse to tidy my flat in the morning.

This is the bag of gravel saga all over again. Except I know I had the bloody thing in my possession that time. It turned up a year later under the sofa. I fucking *looked* under there.

It's gnomes I tell ya. Fucking. Gnomes.

Hello, beautiful 💖.

Had a bit left over in my xmas shopping budget after sorting everybody's prezzies, so bought an early xmas present for myself.

Whether you dig Ubisoft games or not, you gotta admit they don't half-ass their collectibles.

If only I didn't half-ass the lighting lol. But I'm in a rush coz it's family day and I already had to wait in for the delivery so I'm running late.

So, laters potaters!! 👋

I've been playing Life is Strange

And I definitely ship max and Chloe. I want them to end up together and I may or may not be making most of my choices because of that. This game is fantastic. I’m really loving playing it.
