PC REVIEW | Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered | After the successful release of Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered, the next logical step was to remaster Legacy of Kain: Defiance. For those of you unaware, De ...

Check out my review of LoK Defiance Remastered here:

Defiance offers a fresh coat of paint on the final chapter in the Soul Reaver story. However, Defiance is overshadowed by the flaws of the original game.

Nintendo Switch 2 Review | Xenoblade Chronicles X | With the release of the Switch 2 back in June 2025, and a slew of new games promised, I was looking forward to the revitalisation of original game ideas. Th ...

Check out my Xenoblade Chronicles X review for the Nintendo Switch 2.

"Xenoblade Chronicles X offers a lot of content but is broken with its poor visual quality, & a 60fps cap that ultimately makes no difference in a single player title."

You can’t roll back on your argument now. You’ll look even sillier than you did earlier. It’s not us & them. We talked about this.

If you consider any murder a positive, then you are just as bad as the person who pulled the trigger.

I hope you manage to heal from whatever made you this way. πŸ™πŸ»β€οΈ

If the answer wasn’t β€œyes I condone murder of any kind”, then you support what’s happening in Gaza I take it?

You see how quickly things can unravel in your arguments. I’ve about proved my point with your kind. It’s one rule for you & another for them.

I really hope you do some thinking on this.

Ok, so you condone murder & the senseless killing of everyone who doesn’t agree with you. I’m glad to know where the β€œtolerant left” stand on this issue.
Look at the dialogue we are having. You can’t have a sensible conversation, it’s just lols for you. I pray it doesn’t happen to anyone you know.

No Nancy, you are wrong yet again. It’s not good that he’s dead. You’ve inadvertently created over a million more Charlie Kirk’s. You’ve made his voice louder & stronger. Stop believing that violence is the answer. You make yourself look like an idiot & the warped ideology that you so blindly follow

Once again, the left can’t be reasoned with. I forgive you.

Remember, killing someone over a difference of opinion is peak fascism.

The old adage of β€œwhat if the roles were reversed? How would you feel?” Comes to mind

If you are glorifying the death of Charlie Kirk, seek help. Murder is murder & isn’t funny

Unfollow if you can’t handle facts over feelings. I call out radical behaviour from whatever side of the fence you are on

My good friend and colleague @trialbyfir3.bsky.social, my girlfriend and myself spent the better half of last week designing and developing this short, sweet 'point-and-click' horror game.
