I think if MS really wants to make a success of a console/PC hybrid system, this is where they should push: these traditionally PC genres that also have Xbox console releases.

If they're subsidising Game Pass, I think maybe they should subsidise this area too.

Anyway, that's my hot take today.

I think games like Civilization VII and Two Point Museum, which are both available on Xbox console and on PC via Steam, should be a focus for MS.

These are traditionally PC games that (I imagine) would scale well to handhelds and it would be good for fans to carry progress across devices.

Microsoft seems to be really pushing the whole "Play Anywhere" feature with Xbox nowadays, no doubt because of the increased console/PC hybridisation (the ROG Ally, rumours of the new Xbox, etc). But I think something they need is to get more big strategy games on the service.

If "old people" think of Wallace Shawn as being from Clueless, I really don't want to know how they define people who think of him as being from The Princess Bride.

I mean, Taylor Swift reading Wuthering Heights feels like a no-brainer.

My daughter asked me today if I'd ever heard of a band called "McFly"

Went to an early morning kids' screening of Bad Guys 2 today. Absolutely packed, full house of families with young children.

Early on in the film we learn the crew are after a material called "MacGuffinite".

I did a proper deep-throated belly laugh.

I was the only person in the cinema to laugh.

I regret to inform you
I overturned the truck
Carrying the monkeys
Infected with various diseases
I'm sorry
They were just so furry
And apocalyptic

I was looking at this M&S Christmas catalogue upside down and for a moment I thought this reindeer was a mince pie with a lovely little cthulu on it.
