Watching Michael Clayton, a thriller that feels so smart I'm surprised it got made. These days you have to do a similar thing inside Star Wars instead.

"If you were Dawn’s age, you related to her; if you were older, you felt, as Buffy did, protective of her. That was the magic of Michelle Trachtenberg"

That Rishi episode of Industry did live up to the hype, in fairness. Nice we got one good thing out of the Liz Truss economic crash (that and the lettuce).

A year from now these same companies will be pouring money into new studios and struggling to recruit the expertise they need to make the projects they have to make because the knowledge was institutional.

With Half-Life 2 finished, I will now eat my vegetables (finish Opposing Force) before moving on to dessert (Episodes 1 and 2).

Finished the first volume of 20th Century Boys. That device of 'something bad happened when you were a kid but as a tired adult you've forgotten it and must figure it out before everything is fucked' is just a winner.

Really like this quote from Kepler Interactive's CEO, and think it shows in their games. Those same few influences being so pervasive is why a lot of pop culture seems infantilising. www.gamesindustry.biz/how-kepler-i...

Season 3 way stronger. The Kit Harington CEO character is so well-observed. Also benefits from trimming down the cast a bit.

Tempest Rising has gone to the top of Big Sammy's Most Wanted list. Out in April, heavily inspired by Command & Conquer. I'm all over this shit.

Love a video interview where I can see my face increasing in redness over the course of a call until I go full Question Time by the end.

Surprised Industry got a season 3 off the back of season 2. Feels like the season that gets a show cancelled – loses grip of the characters, especially Harper. Still very entertaining, but I feel like the Succession comparisons were a bit false.

What I hate about this diet: it works. You just have to not mind feeling like you've been clubbed on the head for 48 hours a week.

Have Game Pass again for Avowed. What sold me: people saying it's basically a different game if you focus on magic powers over swords. Quite fancy that (and fantasy parkour).

I loved the first game, one of those classic Switch indies for me (before they all started running at about 15fps).
