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…

A Tern for the…Best?
What’s a good title without a pun? This one requires a little context. Yet Another E-bike Journey After being burned by VanMoof with a few lovely e-bikes that ended up as minor horror stories, my approach changed. If I was going to wade in again, it was going to be with a company that used…

Baking, Boarding, and Beyond
Don’t it always seem to go, that when you are actually doing things it’s hard to sit down and write about them… Jetting (or rather, turbo-propping) off again The week came with another stint across the water. This time it was much smoother with no delays, and on the way back I had enough time…

Isle Trotting
This be a holding post…be ye warned Waterford I popped across the Irish Sea to do some work in Waterford last weekend. The flight was delayed and we ended up being the airport stragglers, left stranded almost an hour after the rest of the occupants had vacated. It isn’t the most comfortable place to be…

Madeira (Escaping the Rain)
Trying to cope with the British weather? Why bother. Just leave already. That was our approach over half term. Why stick it out when you can leave for sunnier climes. I believe the upper classes refer to it as “over-wintering”, but five days away hardly a season makes. Geography lesson. You may think that Madeira…

Once More with Gusto (and Games)
This is the usual pivot-post. Ease you in with some games, teach you how to bake, and finish up with some light food criticism. Bon appétit It (still) Takes Two? Yes, we are still playing It Takes Two. It also takes enough time that we’ve got plenty more to play. I have been slightly side-tracked…

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…
