Issue 242

After a quiet couple of years during COVID, I am now working harder than ever before.

I have three jobs: hosting a breakfast show on Jack FM, working as a counselor, and doing shows and podcasts via Patreon. The latter is done behind a paywall for people who are prepared to stump up a few quid every month. Since you asked, it's at patreon.com/iainandkatherine

What makes the Patreon show so cool is I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT. Literally. I can talk silly or serious, I get to interview some really fun people and I can watch classic TV programs. Recently I have been watching a lot of old game shows: 3,2,1, The Price Is Right and Play Your Cards Right Watching Brucey bring on the Dolly Dealers (my God, a lot of these shows are very problematic) rang a very faint and distant bell in the back of my mind. Wasn't there a BBC Micro version of Play Your Cards Right?

Utterly consumed

It has been a long time since I've had to force myself to stop playing a game, but recently I've been horribly addicted to Baldur's Gate 3. You'll no doubt be aware of the reviews, but I'm not sure any game in recent memory has hooked me in quite the same way.
