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.

Isaac Toast – A Religious Experience Our trip started with an overnight in Unseo, close to Incheon international airport. We stayed…

  • Workshops and Hedgehogs

    DIY, ice cream, and more! Advanced Workshop Repair It’s not terribly advanced in reality, but more cobbled together from a variety of bits of wood laying around. There was a removable top over the sink in the workshop when we bought the house. It was fine for a temporary measure, but not that secure when…

  • Games, Gourds, and Gameras?

    Here’s a squash. It’s quite big… Cyberpunk 2077: The plot thickens… On loading the Cyberpunk 2077 disc into my PS4, I was faced with an expected update notice. Was this the revolutionary 2.0 version? Nope. The PS4 version made it to 1.6, but that’s where the developers (CD Projekt Red) have bowed out. The PS4…
