I found my brother's Zoar game from 2019, here as a YouTube video. Written in BBC Basic V on RISC OS Pi for the Raspberry Pi, this game looks erm... zoarsome? 😬 I really hope he can finish it, it's been years! youtu.be/ue3CLr6ePEk?...

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Saw Batman Begins this week. Hadn't watched it since it was in cinemas 20 years back. It's a very different pacing to The Dark Knight. Seems like Nolan had to prove his action credentials more than anything. Second outing is so different tonally.
