So this is super surreal for me. I've just been sent a recording of a local radio show in Washington DC -@EITMonline - (who's host bizarrely happens to also be called Elliot) from a couple weeks back, talking all about my WoW article in the Guardian. Life is crazy sometimes 😂

Yes I appreciate this is a humble brag, but I can't quite wrap my head around people a continent away talking about something I wrote on local radio

I remember this game! we borrowed it from a mate when I was way too young to appreciate how amazing some of the effects were
A thread of cool looking effects from older games. 🧵

Now that I'm back after a week travelling I finally have time to take this photo! I will never stop harping on about how proud I am to have this published in the Guardian. Thanks to everyone who helped get it there, especially to @TheWindstalker for sharing your story!

My Fitbit sent me an alert last night asking why my heartrate was so high at rest, but there was no option for 'the impending collapse of Western society'

Playing Dragon Age: The Veilguard has had me thinking 'damn, I really should've replayed Inquisition first' so much... that I just redownloaded DA:I. Feels weird to put a playthrough of a new game on hold for a ten year old one though. Still, might romance Solas for the ⭐️lore⭐️

So since this place is still a bit of a hellscape, I'm going to try and post a bit more often on BlueSky. My very creative username over there is @elliotlgardner.bsky.social - give me a follow

The 'Trump movie' was alright, but Sebastian Stan's performance in The Apprentice is fantastic. Subtle yet accurate. The character's slow decent into a chariacture of itself is magnificent

Cost of living is utterly insane, but part of why it feels SO rough right now is because we're paying so much money but nothing seems to work. I understand people are terrified and angry at the prospect of taxes rising, but if stuff starts WORKING again, then surely that's a fix?

I understand that its going to take a while for changes to kick in and for us to see the benefit, but the media atm is acting like this government has caused all the issues the last one did, when they're actually so far trying to work out how to pay for the fixes

I think we can only say 'THEY'RE ALL THE SAME' if nothing changes after 4 more years. Ill take someone having some free Taylor Swift tickets if public services start working again
