I still cannot fathom how anyone justifies paying so much for phones. My most recent one was a Pixel 4A, £100. I've not seen anything exciting in a smartphone in a decade or more.

No Diablo, either!

I'd also struggle to find anyone to play co-op with anyway!

I've long been skeptical about VR as a mainstream platform. I think the technology is quite cool, but much like those people who used to say "In ten years everyone will have a 3D printer!" and the like, no, I just don't see it happening. The hassle factor is too great for it to be for everyone. Hell, most people seem to be fine with stereo sound, even though surround sound setups have been available for decades.

Whether it's space, cost, or lack of software support, it all seems to combine to make it a bit of hobbyist kit at best. If your goal is to sell millions of copies then you need to target a broader market than hobbyists, and it looks like a lot of companies have ploughed enough cash into this that hobbyist sales aren't going to be enough.

Not really, no. I think it's the overall "vibe" that grates on me. Spending time somewhere dingey actively repels me.

Hard to say. Perhaps I don't like having my back (literally) against the wall. I associate being outside with the space to approach a task on my own terms.

There's perhaps also an element of growing up in places like Wales and Scotland where sunlight is at a bit of a premium!

In the real world I quite like caves...

The scarecrow is awful. In a good way.

TempleOS: Hold my communion wine

I only played through the second one but the thing that got me was just how ambitious it was. It ruined many other games for me as I was left thinking "Where's the rest of the game?".

The opening act of Little Big Adventure 2 gets my vote.

The French do not fuck around when it comes to strike action. Hang those execs out to dry.
