This is my fun social media account, I will post a lot of video game stuff (mostly old or cloud gaming) and some work stuff.
If I post an image with no Alt text it is because the image is just there for decoration and doesn't provide any extra meaning to the toot.

I’m drinking #coffee and doing some light reading with #LinuxFormat #linux
My son’s Powkiddy RGB20S and my Miyoo Mini.
We live in great times! These affordable emulation handhelds are phenomenal.

3 games that blew my mind:
* Super Mario Bros 3 (NES): This game blew my mind at the time, it seemed much more complex than previous platformers, levels were more varied, sprites seemed more detailed, and the game had a serious depth that surprised me! Powerups, different suits for Mario, maps, etc... At the time it was incredible!
* Gran Turismo: This game at the time seemed vast! My impression is that it was a game but also a car encyclopedia. At the time I even thought the future of the motoring press would be virtual like this, I pictured a "magazine" becoming a virtual experience where you would test drive and compare various cars accurately modelled.
* Red Dead Redemption 2: Again this is a game that blew me away with scale and depth. When I discovered that NPCs had houses, jobs, families, etc I could never rob one! I did bad deeds in missions, because I had to progress, but I ended up never robbing anyone.
Let’s play a game on #XboxCloud
DAMN IT MICROSOFT!!! I have to install stuff on the cloud instance? Really?
God I miss #Stadia
Im very close to completing the #Exoprimal story. Next update coming in August. What a game!!! Love it!!!! Reminds me of older gun games at the arcade where you just shoot the hell out of everything 😄 #gaming
Feels so cool and normal (unlike some modern titles), back to basics gameplay with a cool and totally over the top sci-fi story to go with it.
These two seem to be the start of what I’m calling “Mini Suburbans”, LWB SUVs with a long rear overhang that are smaller than a Suburban yet clearly designed to carry more stuff. I guess you could say this isn’t entirely new the Tahoe and Expedition have been this 5.3m long size for a while but I’m glad to see non-US manufacturers recognising that sometimes you want a longer SUV without adding more leg-room at the back (Range Rovers!), you just want the ability to carry more stuff.
My favourite #Exoprimal #Exosuit is looking very different now :) #gaming
What did I do tonight? I played #Exoprimal again 😄 I’m loving this game!!! #gaming
My son asked for a Powkiddy for his birthday so I got him that 😄 #retrogaming
Grenadier commendation during my lunch break #Exoprimal match :) #gaming
I’m in a long meeting, I’m so tempted to turn this on… I won’t…. But I’m tempted!!!! #retrogaming #gaming
I have an #Exoprimal obsession :) this is one of my desktops right now. #gaming #xbox
This weekend I spent my gaming time with these two games. #HaloInfinite and #Exoprimal
I’m really liking Exoprimal! I suspect the game won’t have lasting power but I’m enjoying it for now. I’m loving how it feels so different from anything else I’ve played recently. #gaming
