The Curse of the Golden Idol was released in 2022, but could probably run on my microwave. It’s a brilliant little detective game inspired by The Return of the Obra Dinn. Highly recommended.

Another detective game from 2022 I loved that’s similarly untaxing on hardware was Strange Horticulture. You run a horticulture shop in a Victorian-y fantasy land where strange things are happening…

Both under 8 hours to complete.

Super Mario Odyssey. It’s mostly extremely fun, controls well, with only occasional camera angles and poor checkpointing infuriation lighting its copybook.

I love this video. The escalating insanity is wonderful. I once got the Harder Drives music stuck in my head for about 2 days straight.

Q is going to go public with it any day now, just you wait.

First two episodes are absolutely superb. Brilliant hook.

Immediately thought of this image.

That’s like getting kicked out of the KKK for being too racist.

It crashed into a missile that was just looking at a cathedral.

Disastrous space-leader or disastrous-space leader?

Journey.

Sometimes I well up just thinking about it, let alone listening to it. Wonderful.

Even if you could prove it, it would still go badly in a lot of places in a lot of times.

Her head is on his left shoulder, if that helps it pop into place for you.

“Some”? 🤨

There is a lot of competition in the “creepy pictures of Richard D James” category.

Probably in my top 5 albums of all time. Definitely in my top 10. Absolutely love it.

If the Democrats are like a flood of sewage that comes unbidden into your home, the Republicans are like you constructed a sluice specifically to pipe it in.

I love this film, have watched it numerous times.

The song For A Friend by The Communards that plays over the closing credits was written for Mark Ashton (played in the film by Ben Schnetzer), and it’s a sad, poignant and beautiful song.

The Curse of the Golden Idol is a detective-puzzle game that is easily played one handed, is cheap, and is great.

Invisible Inc is like a stealthy XCOM (which I see on your profile), and again, easily played one handed.

In Europe, there is no good reason to own this. It doesn’t fit anywhere. There are other, better options in every single circumstance. Including pickup trucks that are designed for and fit our roads. These trucks are simply too big, they’re a menace.
