Hey.
I'm Dan. A 38 year old father of two who doesn't have nearly as much time as he needs to do half the things he wishes he had the time to do.
I mainly Toot […]

@danielholt.mstdn.games.ap.brid.gyGears of War E Day hitting credits with 'For Whom The Bell' tolls might be my favourite gaming moment of the year. Epic doesn't describe it.
@danielholt.mstdn.games.ap.brid.gyKids were doing my absolute nut in yesterday so I peaced out at like 5pm.
Didn't want them seeing me chainsawing through wretches on the big screen so I loaded up Remote Play on my Steamdeck.
As per, it worked well. The only issue is that the small screen and […]
@danielholt.mstdn.games.ap.brid.gyIn theory, could the #NHLJets trade Helly to #NYRangers for picks, and then trade for him again at the end of the season.
NY gets a rental. Helly gets to show he can do it elsewhere. Winnipeg gets their big ticket item back.
@danielholt.mstdn.games.ap.brid.gyAt this point I'm assuming the #LCFC hierarchy are attempting to become the first team in history to win all four leagues inside the English Football League.
It's the only thing that makes sense. That or rank incompetence.
@danielholt.mstdn.games.ap.brid.gyLandlord is going to love me. In the last half an hour we've discovered: 1. We've a leak in the bathroom that's falling directly into our kitchen. 2. The shower has lost all pressure. 3. I can't refill the boiler because the valve has gone. I also don't believe 1 and 2 are related (given I […]
@danielholt.mstdn.games.ap.brid.gyWhen you wake up on a Saturday morning with the best of intentions and within 3 hours your kids have absolutely beaten the shit out of you and you're already counting down the hours until bedtime.
@danielholt.mstdn.games.ap.brid.gyMy #FPL Wildcard.
I'll be honest, it's been three weeks since I last looked at this and I'm not sure if this is even the right move. Kinda wished I didn't waste the WC on this specific week; too many variables coming off the long international break.
I may yet […]
@danielholt.mstdn.games.ap.brid.gy#WhatImPlaying - October 10th
I didn't have 'enjoying a Gears game' on my 2026 bingo card, but here we are.
It's a Gears game. You know what that means already, and if you're down for that, you're down for that.
Being the first Gears game I've […]
@danielholt.mstdn.games.ap.brid.gyOvi slowing down is going to get all the talk but I'm more worried about Big-Protas. I don't think he'll get back to that level from 2 years ago, but he looks almost invisible out there right now; the entire line does.

@boffbowsh.mastodon.me.uk.ap.brid.gyReposted by @danielholt.mstdn.games.ap.brid.gy@danielholt.mstdn.games.ap.brid.gyI lost so much time to Rise Of Nations.
Watching my units and buildings level up and change depending on the era I was in was genuinely so exciting to me at the time.
@danielholt.mstdn.games.ap.brid.gyLil NHS Grumble. I booked my annual Flu jab for today's date about a month ago. Two days ago I get a call off the pharmacy that I'd chosen to have it administered at; they're gonna have to cancel. Okay. They tell me I need to call to rebook. Okay. I call back twice over two days and both […]
@danielholt.mstdn.games.ap.brid.gyIt was mostly fine, up until the final ten minutes. Then it turned into some strange Robin Hood thing. Also, absolutely no information on what happened in the end.
@danielholt.mstdn.games.ap.brid.gy#TheUprising was a film I watched in 2026.
@danielholt.mstdn.games.ap.brid.gyHaving a lot of fun with #GearsOfWarEDay.
It's classic Gears. Run and gun. Point and shoot. Duck and cover. No more, no less.
Coming off Mortal Shell II and Control Resonant and it turns out, that's exactly what I needed.
@danielholt.mstdn.games.ap.brid.gyJust found out that #GearsOfWarEDay is woke now. Apparently the game features a rainbow flag for online play; totally optional.
Marcus Fenix would definitely be pro-LGBTQ. The bigots must be mad as fuck.
@danielholt.mstdn.games.ap.brid.gyCertainly doesn't hurt. It's basically paid for my niece's and nephews Xmas presents, which isn't nothing to sniff at.
@danielholt.mstdn.games.ap.brid.gyPlaying #GearsOfWarEDay like I'm 18 again and I'm sitting on my bedroom floor with the OG copy on the 360.
Active reload still feels fantastic.
@danielholt.mstdn.games.ap.brid.gyJust watched my first Hockey game in like 8 years where I didn't have a small person annoying me, or sleeping directly above me. And we won 5-3. Against our biggest rival. Not bad at all.
