If gaming isn’t a part of your life, you’re doing it wrong.

  • PB and J (Plymouth Brunch and Janners?)

    Cocktail history and etymology. What’s not to like? RE9 Update After a terrifying start, we’re in the midst of a Leon-centric segment in Resident Evil Requiem. It’s a great game and not one we want to rush to completion. We’ve also had a smattering of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty which has been a lot of…

  • A Few Good Days

    Travelling, food, and other bits and pieces. We spent a week of the Easter holidays travelling the South coast of England, spending some time around Windsor (Legoland), Canterbury, and Rustington. It was a lot of driving, but with the Polestar 2 it didn’t feel like it. The only bits that were a little hairy were…

  • Cyberpunk, Tomb Raider and a Tipple

    While RE9 continues to scare the living daylights out of me, I thought I’d pivot to something lighter. I returned to Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time in a few months and still find it a fascinating game. It’s more playable on the PS5 than my original attempt on the PS4, and part of the…

Ordinary Decent Gamer was born out of a desire to write about games, but it has become so much more. Food, travel, DIY and more.

  • Fun with 35mm, and Shedding Light on Exposure

    The plucky little West German is at it again. I have un-earthed my compact 35mm camera in recent weeks and been re-learning my way around film. My second outing with my Minox 35 GT was more successful than the first. I thought I’d try out a Kodak colour film this time with 24 exposures instead…

  • Platelets, Pathology, Photos, and EgyPtology

    Happy New Year! Here’s hoping for a quiet one. Saturday was a busy day. Mouna 2. Climbing. Platelets. I even managed to squeeze some pathology in during the donation. 70 to 90 minutes is a long time to sit in one place, so figuring out how to navigate slides and type with only my left…

  • Guess Who’s Cooking Christmas Too (Or Part Two)

    Merry Christmas one and all. We’ve left the big day behind, so it’s time to reflect on what matters most…the food! I jest (slightly) but Christmas is our greatest feast day. A celebration to lighten the darkest of days, coming shortly after the longest night, and one to bring families and friends together. And part…
