A screenshot showing a hotted-up (pun unintended) red 1970 Datsun 510 driving along a road with rolling sand dunes behind it and clouds in the distance, and the sun blazing down. Just looking at it, it feels HOT.

Another screenshot of the same Datsun 510, this time in a different spot. There a bunch of foliage and palm trees on the side of the road being buffeted by extreme winds, the entire scene is yellow and the visibility is extremely low because I'm in the middle of a huge dust storm.

It's the hot season in Forza Horizon 5, and it feels like I'm driving on Tatooine. And then a dust storm rolled in!

A screenshot from Forza Horizon 5, it's a sunny day with cobblestone streets and obviously-Mexican buildings, and there's a massive Christmas tree in the middle the section where a road is splitting apart. On the other side of the road is a huge yellow building that I think is a church.

Another screenshot from Forza Horizon 5, showing my red Datsun 510 with big rims zooming along the road in the middle of the desert, there's lots of cactii and scrubby bushes on the side of the road.

Haha, Forza Horizon 5 is getting into the Christmas spirit as well: there's a giant Christmas tree in the middle of the city, and various other places have big candy canes lining the side of the road. In related news, still having a ton of fun in my hotted-up Datsun 510.

A photo of a two-player game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's a combination miniatures/deck building game played on a board with hexes on it, the artwork on the board looks like it's in a sea cave or something. Closest to the camera are four vampires with red cloaks on, and facing them are four lithe elves painted mostly in deep purples.

First game of Warhammer Underworlds in a little while, the vampires of the Crimson Court vs. sneaky aelves of the Shadeborn. It was a very low-scoring game, I won with the Court 9-7 but on THREE separate occasions @yayKM needed to roll a critical success (essentially rolling a 6 on one single D6) or one of her characters would die, and she managed it all three times.

My favourite thing to do in the Forza Horizon games is to take an old car and just entirely hot it up. Witness my 1970 Datsun 510 that has an inline four turbocharged rally engine in it, along with full rollbars, weight reduction, and slick racing tyres. In related news, I am absolutely incapable of playing racing games without leaning my entire body to one side or the other as I go around corners.

A screenshot of my character in the video game Cyberpunk 2077. She's Black and has purple/blue hair on one side of her head, with the other side shaved, she's got lots of tattoos on her chest and arms, and her eyes are glowing cybernetics. She has some electronic inlays in the skin on her face, and she's wearing black lipstick. She's standing with her arms crossed and a look of satisfaction on her face.

In news that will shock nobody, I'm having way too much fun in Cyberpunk 2077 both customising my character and also using photo mode.

A screenshot from the cyberpunk-themed game The Ascent. The view is looking into a GIANT cylindrical cavern that stretches way down with lights like in skyscrapers all around the outside, with a huge central pillar covered with pipes and lights, and the whole thing has that very cyberpunk neon lights thing going on.

God DAMN is the art direction in The Ascent incredible! I'm so glad they added a photo mode so you can just cruise around and admire it all, because it'd be such a waste without it.

A photo of a game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's a miniatures game played on a board with hex tiles on it, on my side are three very large armoured warriors, and facing them are four lithe and much more lightly armoured elves.

I took Khorne's finest for a spin tonight, and while they ended up winning 14-5 (and are quite fun to play, to boot!), at the start of the last round it really could have gone either way. My leader had one single wound left and I had several things that relied on him being alive. 😬

A screenshot from the game No Man's Sky. There's a starship in orbit above the bulk of a planet at the right, and behind the rim of the planet is another one with rings. In the distance are three different coloured suns.

Looking mighty pretty there, No Man's Sky!

A photo of a game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's a miniature-and-card-based game played on boards with hex tiles on them. On the board were my warband of six armoured skeletons, four spooky ghost-looking things, four lithe elves, and three lightly armoured humans alongside a big S&M-looking goat-man.

Mid-week gaming this week was a FOUR-player game of Warhammer Underworlds! Unsurprisingly we only got through one round, but one of the players hadn't even played before. I managed to eke out a win on 8 glory, and Kristina came back from nowhere to finish on 7.

A photo of a two-player game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's played on a board with hexes on it, the artwork on the board looks like it's in a sea cave or something. Closest to the camera are five Skaven (ratmen) assassins, and facing them are four lithe elves painted mostly in deep purples.

Well, I might have done a fantastic job painting the miniatures, but good god was the standard deck that Skittershank's Clawpack comes with rubbish. I couldn't do half the stuff, scored all of 2 glory by most of the way through the second round, and we gave up at that point. Fortunately Kristina said the Shadeborn deck was a lot of fun, so that's good at least. I'll need to pull the Clawpack deck apart and make it better.
