The Blue Prince is an amazing game and i desperately want to talk about it online but i also don’t want spoilers.
Picked up this big boy while up at my parents. Classic strategy guides are one of my true obsessions.
Book is the fantastic Some Men In London Vol 1 by Peter Parker
There’s a lot of VE stuff over the news in the UK at the moment. Earlier in the year I read this book of gay men’s diaries, and the first entry is this great one about a gay man on VE Day a perspective I’d never heard before

Second attempt at train time eink display much more readable with just a black and white screen
Reminded of my favourite line from a user manual ever. A few years back my Dad bought a ZX Spectrum off ebay that reminded him of one he owned and it still had the manual:
" in your impatience you will probably already have started pressing the keys on the keyboard, and discovered that this removes the copyright message. This is good; you cannot harm the computer in this way. Be bold. Experiment. If you get stuck, remember that you can always reset the computer”

Happy Switch 2 details day to all those who celebrate
