Admin, Gamepad.Club

Mail: me@gazimoff.com

I'm a former videogames journalist and critic that specialised in MMOs and online games.

These days, gaming sits alongside parenting and family life. I still clock up time in WoW, FFXIV and EVE, but I'm also on mobile with Genshin Impact too.

I'm also regularly playing Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons, and I've got into miniature painting (mostly Warhammer 40K).

It's been suggested several times that I set up a Patreon to help cover Gamepad.club server costs.

Please don't feel obliged to! But, if you're eager to help out, here's the link:

Morning all!

My wife added to my Lego bonsai collection with this absolute beauty. The Japanese Maple stands taller and wider than the older Cherry Blossom set, and possibly a little nicer too. I love the variation in foliage.

Doing my best to celebrate my birthday today. There’s a lot to be downbeat about at the moment, but I’m determined to put it to one side for the day.

For the second time in my life, a good friend and incredible person has been diagnosed with an advanced brain tumor.

Cancer is a callous thief.

Morning all.

I’ve finally caught up with the story in
#ZenlessZoneZero, and even managed to defeat the Miasma Fiend without needing to lower the difficulty.

I really need to work on getting a couple more Level 60 agent teams now so that I can do some of the more challenging content. There’s a lot of grinding in my future!

I’ve been mentoring some junior devs at work, and one of them asked me how I’m good at interacting with senior people in the company.

I replied that my engagement responses use a rough personality framework based on their job role that helps me quickly understand their needs and primary motivations, augmented by any prior interactions, communication techniques, and outcome drivers.

It was at that point that I realised I’m probably more neurodivergent than previously thought.

Morning all!

Had a bit of a late night last night working on Gamepad.club - but things are looking much better now!

I’ll look to get the Tangerine themes updated over the weekend.

This morning, I am absolutely craving coffee…

I'm running some server maintenance tasks to prepare Gamepad.Club for the next set of Mastodon upgrades. There might be a slight drop in responsiveness for the next hour or so while this progresses.

Trying to do some work on upgrading a Magic Commander deck, and I am having all kinds of self-doubt…
