I would like to actually finish a book this month, but my Hollow Knight replay continues to distract me. This was a fun fight, but his patterns seemed to confuse me
When in doubt, strike hard and strike fast!

Played 7 Wonders Duel. Was OK. Felt quite unbalanced - never got any chances to buy any resources which was odd
Will give it another go, but didn't wow me

One of the things I love about a good Metroidvania is seeing the world evolve. Hollow Knight and Silksong both did it; here in the first game the story progression causes an increasing level of infection to spread in a map and enemies. Sometimes whole passages would require diversions

Starting to open up Hollow Knight to find the trickier platform levels that the sequel had in abundance
There’s a real nightmare one coming up later from what I remember

15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage.
I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong.
Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole.
Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you...

Used to love this board game as a kid. Dinosaurs and a lost world is always a winner for me.

Not overly enjoying Nova by Samuel Delany. Some interesting ideas, but otherwise rather dull and I’m not really clicking with his writing style
