Under Pressure
Polestar 2 tyre challenges My understanding of cars is pretty limited. I have done bits and pieces with electrics before including fitting stereo and reversing camera on my Skoda Fabia, but problem solving is normally best left to someone else in my experience. It’s not that I can’t do it, but it’s another thing to…

Cooking with Clair (Obscur Reference)
Or should that be “esoteric” reference. I’ll let you be the judge. After a raft of insane battles, we have reached the epilogue of Clair Obscur. This has been one of my favourite games of recent times, and I’m not generally into Final Fantasy-style turn-based combat. That is a testament to just how compelling the…

New Year, New(ish) Games
You died. Now get back up and get going. Death is only the beginning…of another run. Returnal Maybe I had my fill of Souls-like games in 2021, but Returnal completely passed me by. I was vaguely aware of it from Triple Click, a gaming podcast I listen to, but really only the degree of difficulty…

Grass, Gardens, and Great Heights
The rain continues, but it has failed to (completely) dampen our spirits The deluge continues. The rain has been non-stop since the end of August. Well, that’s not entirely true. It has been start-stop. Showers followed by sunny intervals, but often of unpredictable lengths. It has made outdoor activities next to impossible to plan. There’s

Death Stranding (2) and Dead Hard Drives
Even more strandier? Even more beachier? The expansion of the chiral network brought a whole load of quality of life improvements. Death Stranding 2: First Impressions I’ll admit I dismissed Death Stranding unfairly the first time I played it. After a few awkward and uncomfortable journeys heaped on an incomprehensible plot, I drifted away from
