With my anticipation of Dispatch and Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 coming out this week I’d completely forgotten about Keeper being released.

Managed to play some tonight and loving it so far, @doublefine.com showing they’re the best at what they do!

Very happy with my time in the Barns Green Half Marathon today, especially as my training has been quite erratic recently.

Managed to score PBs for all major distances from 5K to Half! 🙂

Don't overlook The Invincible on PlayStation Plus, it's a gorgeous sci-fi mystery that lingers long in the mind www.eurogamer.net/dont-overloo...

An illustration of a vintage-style space suit lodged in the ground with a wasted astronaut within. The skin has been stripped from their bones and only a bony skull is now visible. They are buried in the sand and the sky is red and threatening above them. This is the key art for The Invincible.

As my daughter is getting more into music, DJ on Spotify keeps feeding me songs from Taylor Swift and the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack. The End-of-the-Year roundup really isn't going to be a surprise...

WIP a bit on the "threads" window so you can see which thread/wave of the group you are watching, and whether the other threads are active/inactive. Also allows fast switching between threads in the group. #quackdebugger

I've decided after 5 episodes that I am pro Alien: Earth, and it's largely because of these two.

Felt that Alien: Earth episode 5 was the strongest so far (not that high a bar tbh though!), and was waiting for some of the gaps to be filled in. Just reinforces that nothing better happen to my little eye octopus dude

Finally watched Thunderbolts*, quite enjoyed it, but I’m still thinking about the helicopter pilot… did he come back from the Void in the same place he left, like floating in the air where the helicopter was?
