@uscia This is because during the day, the conventional 'working' hours, we feel a passive but pervasive pressure to constantly be productive, to be achieving or progressing something.

At night these pressures relax and thus everything becomes calmer and more enjoyable.

@ScarlettGowans1 There isn't a single midfielder in world football with Joelinton's attributes.

- Incredible physical size, power and agility.

- Explosiveness and dynamism.

- Underrated technical + dribbling ability.

- unparalleled professional aggression and work ethic.

Irreplaceable.

@ToonMouthTyne It will hit you when it hits you. I was in bits from Burns goal onwards but then I'm very emotional. Enjoy every moment, it will never get better than this.

Remasters are often maligned, and there are many examples of them being done poorly.

#SoulReaverRemastered is an example of a remaster done right and demonstrates why they are important. Classics brought into the present day and given new life. #PS5 #XboxSeriesX #PS1 #Dreamcast

Can't wait for this one. I will be playing on #Xbox as that is where I played and loved the #FightNight series. Rd 3 on #Xbox360 still the GOAT in my opinion. All #Boxing fans should be supporting this one! #XboxSeriesX #PS5 #Undisputed

The sweet science returns when Undisputed launches Oct 11 🥊

Thrilled that #LegacyofKain #SoulReaver 1&2 are finally being remastered. The first was one of my favourite #PlayStation games, with a beautiful gothic aesthetic, great story and VO presentation which was ahead of it's time. Day one. #PS4 #PS5 #Xbox #XboxSeriesX #NintendoSwitch

[The Skill Tree @The_Skill_Tree]

I expected the #PS5Pro to be very expensive, it was clear looking at the current cost of components and the spec it would need to be worthwhile, but £700 without a disc drive is absolutely a misfire. #PS5 #PlayStation5 #PlayStation5Pro

@ToonMouthTyne The window has been *very* poor and there are plenty of questions to be asked about what has gone wrong, but I feel the level of negativity is hyperbolic. I think it's because it's reminiscent of an Ashley window and brings back those feelings, but perspective is needed.

[The Skill Tree @The_Skill_Tree]

@Suikoden Delighted these are coming, always wanted to play them. I remember scowling at eBay prices for #ps1 copies many years ago. #

[The Skill Tree @The_Skill_Tree]

For me, the most exciting new game reveal of the year so far. It looks awesome. #Xbox #XboxSeriesX #XboxGamePass

[Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 @expedition33]

New gameplay in 3 hours and 33 minutes.

The countdown begins. 🤝

[The Skill Tree @The_Skill_Tree]

Always excited to see what is coming next in the world of RGG/#LikeADragon/#Yakuza.

Undoubtedly my favorite ongoing series at this point. They have done such a great job over the years of retaining familiarity whilst also keeping the franchise fresh. #PS5 #XboxSeriesX #Nintendo

@brandenjohnson Always adored this game. Has many flaws and yet the whole is far more than the some of its parts. Has an intangible magic quality that so many games shoot for but few accomplish.

[The Skill Tree @The_Skill_Tree]

The most exciting announcement for me from #gamescomONL was unquestionably #MafiaTheOldCountry. I love great Mafia movies (Casino, Goodfellas, The Godfather) and I am very fond of the #Mafia series. This looks like an amazing and unique setting. Can't wait. #PS5 #XboxSeriesX

[The Skill Tree @The_Skill_Tree]

The #PSVR2 release schedule is low key packed for the rest of the year.

There are more, but the titles I am most excited by are #MetroAwakening, #AlienRogueIncursion, #Wanderer & #ArizonaSunshineRemake.

It is a great time to pick up a headset. #PS5 #Alien #VR #PlayStation5

[The Skill Tree @The_Skill_Tree]

#BlackMythWukong looks phenomenal. Creative, inventive, original.

Personally, I do not support the increasing trend of digital only release windows and feel if we do they will become ever more prevalent, so will be waiting for a physical release. #PS5 #PlayStation5 #Physical

@Aleksha_McLo @techopedia Hi Aleksha,

Congratulations on the position, I would love to discuss the possibility of writing feature pieces for you, would you prefer a DM or e-mail?

[The Skill Tree @The_Skill_Tree]

@ToonMouthTyne @LukeEdwardsTele I can't decide if I am more excited to have the player himself or for the inevitable meltdowns from the footballing establishment at us daring to compete at this level.

[The Skill Tree @The_Skill_Tree]

Strong rumours of a remaster incoming for #SoulReaver 1&2. I didn't play the second but the first was truly epic & one of my favourites of that generation.

Amazing gothic architecture & atmosphere with a gripping narrative. Never thought we would see it so 🤞 #PSX #Dreamcast

[The Skill Tree @The_Skill_Tree]

@ToonMouthTyne Happy is the wrong word, but at this point any scenario that avoids losing a crown jewel is ok.

I feel as though people forget just how bad the injury situation was last season. Of course we need to strengthen further, but we haven't even seen the best of the current squad yet.

[The Skill Tree @The_Skill_Tree]

Will definitely be waiting for the #NintendoSwitch2 to play #MetroidPrime4. It looks fine but it would be a shame if it was held back by old hardware. #NintendoDirect
