Bits & bytes for March 2025

Thoughts
Tomorrow I'm embarking on a long journey. Like, a really long journey. I'm heading first to Heathrow, which will then require me to traverse the airport for about an hour to get to my next gate. Which will then whisk me off to the Nevada desert for a conference. Mercifully, my flight home is both direct and in business class.
Given the arduous journey ahead, I'm obviously bringing a fat battery pack and my beloved Steam Deck. And I've utilised every available bit of electron available on both the internal drive and my SSD to ensure my every whim is catered for. The list of games I'll attempt to play but probably get tired of is long, but will boil down to:
- Persona 5 Royal (I played the first 10 or so hours on vanilla though)
- Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name
- Space Marine II
- Tactical Breach Wizards
- Hades II
The ones I'll sink loads of time into accidentally are likely to be:
- Automobilista 2
- Balatro
- Gran Turismo 4 (via emulator)
Either way, it'll be a heck of a flight that will drive me to tears. But would be infinitely worse were I not capable of bringing along a big pile of games!
Currently playing
- Gran Turismo 7
