I moved to Bristol last month and it’s hard to stress how magical a place it feels. So may unique sights around it all. You turn a corner and could be in a completely difference city, a rural town, a European village. Such a beautiful city.

The Climate Coalition’s #ActNowChangeForever mass lobby event today was really excellent. Some amazing speakers, and the energy of the groups and people who attended was so cool. Hope folks had some great conversations with their MPs!

Obviously never completed Metroid 2 when I was little - but enjoyed finally completing it! If only young Barnie had known the reward for completing was a two-tone green Samus shot.

Had a really fun time with Persona 3 Reload - my final team settled on Yukari, Ken and Koromaru pretty early on, really enjoyed them all together. Onto the DLC at some point!

Proud of Westbury for hosting an Environment Fair! Although the music being a live saxophonist playing ‘Hallelujah’ definitely a choice.

Held off booting up Duck Detective for the first time because I knew I’d benefit from the extra horsepower the Switch 2 would throw at it. And I wanted to start it in the ideal gaming setting too.
