Just left the cinema.
I'm going to struggle to articulate just how brilliant Sinners is for so many reasons.
Everyone should go see this film.
I swear Ryan Coogler just does not miss.

My son works for this company here in the U.K.
It was playing the video game ‘Deus Ex’ that set him on the path to becoming a Biomechanical Engineer.
Sometimes, it’s nice to highlight the good things that video games can do. And also remind myself just how proud of him I am.

Update! ONE MINUTE TO CLOSE Demo
After 10 hours of trying to figure out what was happening, we found the issue, and the game should no longer crash upon entering the supermarket.
We thank you for your patience and understanding!

After playing the original Overwatch for circa 1000 hours, Overwatch 2 just never did it for me, but Rivals is looking promising!

I made cookies for the studio work-do this week
Dark Chocolate, Hazelnut and Mixed Spice.
They went down well enough that some people came back to me for seconds and others were upset they didn't hear about them until they were gone - I definitely need to make more next time 😅
