🎮 Played/Read/Watched

• Gris: this is such a beautiful game, tbh I doubt I’ll finish it, cause I never seem to finish indie platformers, but I really enjoyed playing it.
• The square: full disclosure, I was really tired and barely paying attention, but I didn’t really enjoy this one.
• Will A.I. Become the New McKinsey? by Ted Chiang
• Rich Harris on frameworks, the web, and the edge
• The Deceptive World of Ghost Kitchens by Eddy Burback
• The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling by ContraPoints
• Midsommar: went to the see this at my local cinema, and it was a good shout, it’s a stunning film, so looked amazing on the big screen! I enjoyed the weirdness of it a lot.
• The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: having loved breath of the wild, I was very hyped for this and it did not disappoint. It had all the good from BOTW plus some AMAZING new mechanics, this was so much fun.
