I’ve fallen asleep watching every episode of this so far. OK, I am generally watching them after 10pm when I probably am too tired to concentrate, but doesn’t normally happen with other stuff I watch. Took me about four attempts to make it through episode 2. I actually think this could end up being worse than Discovery, which is a sentence I never thought I’d write.

Looks like this is going to be in the eShop sale starting Thursday so I might finally take the plunge then.

The new AJJ album is absolutely great.

As prep for Picard I’ve been going through this TNG list which someone posted a while back and not really seen many duff episodes. I’m up to season 4 so far and even based on the first episode of Picard I’m glad I went back to these. I’ve seen all of DS9 and Voyager but for whatever reason never saw a lot of TNG. It was maybe on just a bit early for me and never caught up on it.

I think the reviews are all embargoed until it comes out. Not a great sign, but we live in hope.

Got a £50 Game voucher for my birthday (having asked for eShop vouchers!). Anyway, ordered 2 x £25 eShop vouchers the other day and today in the post I have received from Game...2 x £20 Roblox vouchers. What the hell is a Roblox?!

They also mentioned some casting news, which I’ll spoiler for those who would rather not know.

Got £75 in eShop vouchers for my birthday and need to have a think what to get. Open to suggestions! Currently own the following:

I didn’t play any of season 9 or 10, but I’ve really got back into it this time. I think that as a less skilled player the matchmaking has made it a lot more accessible and I’ve got 3 or 4 solo wins this season having only had 1 or 2 previously. Really enjoying the Star Wars theme too and smashing the shit out of people with lightsabers.

01 - Better Oblivion Community Center - Better Oblivion Community Center 02 - PUP - Morbid Stuff 03 - Clairo - Immunity 04 - Bayside - Interrobang 05 - Laura Stevenson - The Big Freeze 06 - Lucy Dacus - 2019 07 - Bad Books - III

If at first you don’t succeed, try try try try try try try again. It only took 778 attempts to get my first win!

I found the first 10-15 hours quite hard going, but once I was able to open up 2 or 3 new areas it really clicked for me and I couldn’t put it down until I did the main ending. Haven’t dived back in for all the endgame stuff and a couple of bosses I didn’t clear but it’s easily in my top 10 of all time. I’m pretty average at games but once you learn the systems and patterns of the bosses it is just about manageable. All I’d say is don’t be scared to use a guide early on if you do get to a point where you feel you’re totally stuck. I did that and then I was fine for most of the rest of the game.

Lucy Dacus’s album from last year was incredible and the opening track an absolute belter.

Still don’t think there’s any legal way to stream this in the UK, is there?
