I have just learned about the symbiosis of Goby and Shrimp. The shrimp makes a burrow in the sand they can both live in - in return, the Goby warns the blind shrimp of danger while outside the burrow. This is everything.

Still not enough people talking about Little Goody Two Shoes. Incredible jazzy soundtrack. The most hilarious 90s anime style cutscenes. Great dialogue and characters. Cozy yet creepy. Interesting mini social sim mechanics. And just look at it.

Ages ago i ‘digitised’ my old ‘best of’ collection. I like to be minimalist about my physical goods so this is a great way to relive the memories.

I made a ‘home gym’ (aka The Rumpus Yard) for basically no money, perfect for primal/full body compound exercises (the healthiest and also most fun kind). Gornation parallettes and a 16kg kettlebell - it’s all you need! Fresh air and no gym commute.

When I said more games should be based on novel IP I'm not sure this is what I had in mind...

The dialogue and interminable cutscenes almost ruined the whole thing for me but the visionary gameplay kept pulling me on through. And it IS frequently an incredibly striking game.

There are some strange people out there. I like to wear comments like that as a badge of honour, it means we made something interesting. I like this one from Harold Halibut - classic 'I hated it, for 10 hours. Why did I keep playing for that long? Who knows! Where were the guns!?' energy.

Doing a sort and came across this hand-made Enter Shikari EP - maybe their first ever? My old band played with them all the time as we went to school/s together but tbh they’ve never been my thing.
