Sales season is officially over! But a reminder that you don't need money to be overwhelmed with cool PC games. I still need to catch up on updating it, but my big list of Cool Free PC Games is ever-expanding, now featuring the massive & rad Quake Brutalist Jam 3, which is surprisingly standalone.

Thought we could maybe do with cheering up, so I refracted some sunlight through billions of suspended water droplets. Hope you like it - I can never remember what order to put the colours in and always end up having to sing that damned song...

Allowed my son to select my next destination in
#NoMansSky
. The planet he selected was strangely inhabited by sentient lightning, so apparently I have a pet energy being now. I suspect he may be a glitch, but I hope he sticks around.

Like all the best aspiring writers, I spent the whole day procrastinating and didn't write anything whatsoever. I blame this on the new Majuular video covering Serpents Isle, and the fact that Hitman VR is now good.

May have become a little obsessed with No Mans Sky. Was never a fan of the tiny starships the game gave you, and now they've gone and added 'build-your-own' corvettes. Wish I could have an NPC crew though...

I...have never heard of Silksong. Good luck to them though - sounds like a massive success. If anyone needs me, I'll be probably playing something released in around 1993.

"Really enjoying this calm...soothing VR diving game. It's just the relaxing experience I've been OH JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE HELL!" Fishologists will probably tell me that thing's perfectly safe, but I never want to see it again.

Today I started a new game project, massively over-scoped, filled it with spaghetti code and abandoned it in less than two hours. I'm getting pretty good at this game-dev malarkey.

Just tried the Robocop game and have discovered it has a run button. No, no, I won't be using that. It's slow methodical walking forward for me, thanks.
