Its interesting to me while assembling this list that the most recent games is from 2018. I do play and enjoy modern games but find DLC / season passes / paid downloadable crap makes everything feel more cynical. Less about experiences and play and more about squeezing you for cash. my9games.com/en

List of my top 9 games
1. Mass Effect Trilogy
2. WipeOut Omega Collection
3. Spider-Man (2018)
4. Bloodborne
5. The Sentinel
6. Speedball 2 Brutal Deluxe
7. Half-Life 2
8. Knights of the old republic
9. Elite

Yesterday I started a get fit regimen which went really welll and I intend to do again this morning. That was before I went to bed at 2am, due to technical shenanigans, was woken up by a cat on my chest at 4am. It’s now 7am and I’m like a member of the walking dead… I need sleep.

#JustWatched The Christophers, a film that really feels like a BBC small Sunday evening drama and black comedy. Except directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel. Great performances, interesting and darkly funny script but it felt oddly low key.

A poster for the film The Christophers with the caption art can be copied, artists cannot. The poster is almost entirely white with unfinished sketches of the lead actors; Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel looking at each other

Just finished this book as my holiday downtime read. It’s an interesting mix of FBI police procedural, pitch black bleak as hell murder mystery, sci fi, eldritch horror from the distant stars, time travel and quantum physics. A great read if only let down by a slightly generic Star Trek resolution.
