I was speaking with a friend earlier today about games that have taken a long time to arrive. He'd just received a copy of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. I've never played a single Metroid game. That should probably change. But, it did make me think about
There's a lot of noise out there about what price the Steam Machine will be, and that they have mentioned it will be closer to PC pricing. One such article is from Vice: https://www.vice.com/en/article/valve-finally-confirms-leaked-steam-machine-price-rumors/ During the November 22 Friends Per Second podcast

After what, I felt, was a bit of a stale patch with Ghost a couple of years ago, they really seem to be going from strength to strength right now. With their features around federation, and now their work on discoverability, they're nailing it: https://ghost.org/changelog/
With breakfast this morning, I was watching a random video of the above named film (which I need to watch). What surprised me was who I saw in it. Especially as we're watching through NCIS. It took me until about half-way through before it actually clicked who it
When I started journalling again, I treated myself to a LAMY Safari fountain pen. As a left-hander, I wasn't entirely sure this was a great idea, but I wanted to try. And, they had left-handed nibs. So far, it's been a really solid writing companion, especially
