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.

  • Food, Drinks, and Fireworks

    Time for something completely different. Ish. Different-ish. Different dish? Bobotie and Burgers It has been a while since I’ve covered food but I’m back with a few recent gems. We had a trip down to Falmouth only to be faced with Pendennis castle overrun by pirates. Summer traffic made traversing Cornwall a bit of a…

  • Cupboards and Conservatories (And a Bit of Broadband)

    It has been a busy week around here with a few trips and plenty of ongoing projects. Airing Cupboard/Hot Press* *Neither is particularly a accurate name… I am in the process of reassembling the airing cupboard/hot press (take your pick) and tried to do so in the most straightforward way – cutting bits of plasterboard…

  • Heat Pump, Take Three (Part Two)

    And it’s in. Time for the ever after… We’ve had our Daikin Altherma air source heat pump in for about a week now, and so far it seems to be functional. We haven’t had much of a chance to test it given that we are in the middle of summer and the room temperature barely…
