Hard to argue with any of this. I love working in games, but the points about share-price-chasing and refusal to make small profitable games because they won’t make “enough” profit are things I’ve been banging on about for years.

Sunday night is normally a time to use up whatever’s still in the fridge and/or approaching best-before date, which leads to some odd improvised concoctions 😅 Tonight: crispy tofu and curried veg with spinach and baby potatoes…

With food experiments I always try them alone first, in case they turn out horrid 😅 But tonight’s dinner for one is an aloo gobi traybake which, while still needing a few tweaks, turned out rather nice indeed 😋

Business as usual, then:

“An official study of low-traffic neighbourhoods (LTNs) ordered by Rishi Sunak amid efforts to stop them being built has instead concluded they are generally popular and effective, and the report was initially buried”

What’s that? You want a progress report on the latest Dog Sitter Detective book? Well the old joke goes, “An author is someone for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people,” and let me assure you there are days when that is painfully true 😅

Man, sympathies to everyone caught up in this. The hits keep on coming.

You know, monopoly commissions are always worried about how mergers will affect the market for consumers, but maybe they should also start asking how they affect the job market for staff…

I just rated a book 4 stars on Goodreads, then read a 2-star review so wilfully ignorant I almost upgraded mine to 5 stars out of spite

@robb @dmoren I got a 1-star review for the original Atomic Blonde graphic novel very similar to that 😭
