Could not have been more in the mood for Avowed. It reminds me on playing Oblivion. I'm 8 hours in an old just halfway around the first area resiting the mainline pull.

A rainy weekend and Indiana Jones has been the perfect combination. What a fantastic game, so glad a friend warned me not to rush.

Lazy Sunday afternoon, getting deeper into Genshin Impact. Such a bonny game. In the perfect mood for it.

My favourite group chat is my son completing his rainy day courses (Currently humble bundle Godot).

He’s enjoys it so much it’s defining where we are look at for post GSCEs.

I’ve made a mistake of only just discovering Inside No 9 while I have a mountain of amazingly long games to play. It’s incredible.
