On my second visit to the Vatican, I encountered “In Principio (e poi)” by Studio Azzurro—an interactive video installation on three massive black screens, with a fourth below for sound.

Spent the weekend at GameHearts repping GOG. The event focused on how gamedev connects with culture, policy & economy at both EU and national levels. I made sure game preservation and real industry support were front and center. Now let’s see if these ideas turn into real action where it matters!

Finished The Quarry. I loved Until Dawn, but this didn’t quite hit the same mark. It feels more like an interactive movie than a game, with unclear choices, plot holes, and minimal emotional impact. QTEs are too easy, and the rest feels cliché. A bit of a letdown.

In Polish, we have a word “zapiecek”—the warm spot behind the stove where grandparents used to sleep in peasant cottages. One of my cats, Gacuś, loves warmth so much, I think he’s just rediscovered this concept for himself! 🐾🔥

Finally watched Substance—what a film! Stunning visuals, colors, music, grotesque themes, capitalism, advertising, and human greed. The erotic scenes were fascinatingly not arousing, and the body horror was unforgettable. Highly recommend—director & cinematographer added to my watchlist!

Started to feel a bit fatigued with Planet of Lana, so while waiting for my co-op partners for BG3 and Quarry, I tried a few new titles. Citizen Sleeper feels a bit too complex and text-heavy for now, but Nobody Wants to Die is incredible.

For the first time in years, I messed up buying a train ticket (wrong station in the same city). I was on time but missed my train. Luckily, another train came soon after, but no seats available—so I’ll be standing in the corridor. What an adventure 😠

Finished Chorus —a very fun space shooter! The story is forgettable, but the atmospheric triple voice of the protagonist is a standout. Dogfights with enemy fleets were thrilling, especially when bigger ships appeared; boss battles, not so much
