Just clocked Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.

I enjoyed that.

Finally started watching Secret Level this evening.

That Sifu episode is A\ amazing and B\ really making me want to play Sifu again.

I loved that game and I couldn’t stop playing it until I got the real ending.

It’s so damn stylish and satisfying to play.

Can you guess which Jarre track this is?

(His music was regularly covered by 8 bit musicians for games)

HINT: the same track was used for the C64 version of Yie Ar Kung-Fu.

An update: disappointingly, the monitor has two software bugs that prevent PAL signals from displaying properly and fully filling the panel.

There are workarounds but they’re not ideal.

The company have acknowledged this and say it’ll be fixed with a firmware update.

A bit disappointing given the development time on the panel and its price.

It’s otherwise fine and will be better once fixed.

I’m quite impressed with scanline emulation I must admit.

Reader who is also a reader, I finished it!

This must be the fastest I’ve read a book in recent memory, because it was so damn compelling and unputdownable!

Very cleverly constructed too, it’s superb!

Read it if you can.

Judge me all you want, but I’m a sucker for a good #book cover and I’ve read many an awesome book just because their cover was enticing.

Got this today for exactly that reason 😅

Just over two years later, and my Kickstarter backed Checkmate Monitor has finally arrived.

It’s a modern monitor for retro systems, I’d seen it IRL at OLL Norwich and it blew me away.

Currently testing it with the #Amiga and #AtariST.

Today’s well-earned Friday night dinner (it’s been a hell of a week folks) is this baby spinach, dates, and almonds salad with ribeye steak.

The original recipe (https://ottolenghi.co.uk/pages/recipes/baby-spinach-salad-dates-almonds) is from Jerusalem, and does not have the steak.

We added it a while ago and turned it into a main meal instead of just a side dish.

Delish!

Is it me, or do gamers and the gaming press want to condemn the Switch 2 even before it’s out?

It’s all the headlines I’ve seen today.

They did the same with the Wii U, condemning that awesome console to its death before it was even born.

FWIW: the Wii U was (still is!) awesome and I’m sure the Switch 2 will be also.

Let’s give it a chance eh?

Another thing I finished yesterday was #reading James by Percival Everett.

What. A. Book.

Written in sparse yet profound prose, it tells the story of Huckleberry Finn but from the perspective of Jim, the slave.

I cannot recommend this book enough.

I have his previous book The Trees also but I’ve not read it yet, but wow can this man write.

Please, if you can, you really should.

Just under three weeks of obsessive knitting, I’ve finally completed Saga Anderson’s jumper from the game Alan Wake 2!

This was a big project for me, I’ve never knitted an adult-sized jumper before, and I’ve never done such complicated colour work either, at least not at this scale!

I made this for my wife who has been asking for a jumper since I first started knitting, so only fifteen years ago 😅

Luckily it fits her and she loves it!

She won’t let me show her face but here she is (reluctantly) modelling it 😍

Every single day since going back to work this year, there has been a disaster on the road that I am unfortunate enough to travel on (the A14 in Suffolk if you wanted to share the pain).

I’ve used this road for years, and there’s usually some major problem or other maybe once a month.

But these last two weeks, it has been daily.

It’s starting to feel like someone is doing this on purpose.

Will today finally be the day where I get to work on time and without having to use the country’s worst country roads ever?

We’ll see.

Good morning.

As far as songs that you wake up stuck in your head with, Prince’s Purple Rain really is a good one.

Sing with me now: purple raaain purple raaaaiiin!

NGL, I don’t enjoy #knitting sleeves.

It’s too cumbersome.
