This is a Book Nook. A delightful Christmas present, currently being assembled by my kids. It's a flat-packed delightful Parisian-style shopping arcade, confusingly titled 'Arcade Dating'... But that's **not** what's odd about it...

Boy playing “Return of the Obra Dinn”:
“Daddy, does decapitated mean head chopped off or body chopped off”
I blame myself, should have let him carry playing Boomerang Fu in one player mode

Redhill library. Closed due to RAAC concrete. Replaced with a unit in a shopping centre. Now closed without warning and replaced with a cardboard cutout of Will Ferrell. No explanation on their website, just a complete dereliction of service for a town.

It looks great, but I only see a single piece of glass/plastic logo in the making-of video, so it must have been digitally composited to some extent, mustn't it? @tvaziri.com 9to5mac.com/2025/11/06/a...
