This weekend I'm headed down to relax in our holiday gaff. And I'm deliberately going to bring my Analogue Pocket, alongside a few yet-to-be-read copies of Edge. I want to get back into immersion in this world, because it's been so hectic that I lost sight of it recently.

Separately, and I know I mentioned this before, I've become super enamoured with Stardew. Yes, years late and as the game updates start to wind down and the project wraps. But it's opened my eyes to a genre that I definitely have felt wasn't a fit for me: RPG. Not even Pokemon caught my attention. But now? I feel like my elderly body is ready!
