I have loved this novel for so long. The Guillermo del Toro version was a beautifully faithful adaptation but with creative liberties taken in all the right places. Acting superb, costumes incredible, and storytelling captivating! Watch Frankenstein on @netflixuk.bsky.social on Nov 7th

I've loved @patchmagazine.bsky.social since issue 1! The team are such champions of indie games and indie developers and it's incredible to see them thriving in a world of declining or disappearing print media! Well done for keeping shouting about indies and excelling in quality journalism!
