My clones have formed a band and are regaling me with adorably cheesy music

Surviving and escaping the sun-seared death-trap of a planet is the ultimate goal but I'm spending an unexpected amount of time caring for the physical and emotional wellbeing of my brother-clones instead. I expected it would go for a sitcom tone but it's much more thoughtful than that

Also, bonus, whilst writing this I rediscovered an old article of mine, advising people how to play video games after having a baby. Almost all of it's still relevant, if you're at this stage now 🫶 That baby is now an 8-year-old. Old enough to play Zelda himself www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
