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.

A tradition steeped in Irish history. A time when everyone gets together for a laugh or two. A few folks dress up. Some spooky happenings may, or…

  • Gaming…shouldn’t you be baking?

    I have sat down to write about gaming, and write about gaming I shall. I engage with gaming in waves. From time to time I’ll get really into a title, for example Death Stranding 2, and play it for hours in the limited free time I’ve got. Then I might start a few smaller titles…

  • Autumn and Apples, Barbecue and Baking

    October. Apples. Cinnamon. Bonfires. Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Barbecues. Wait, wait? ABBQ (the extra A is for Autumnal…) Yes, I have gone a little mad. And yes, I have embraced the “all year” kamado cooking philosophy. I bought a pork shoulder and some beef brisket to smoke in my ongoing exploration of all things kamado. I…
