Disconcertingly lifelike. https://www.tcj.com/author/clark-burscough/

Steam Machine is an amazing bit of kit, as I theoretically have access to (almost) my entire PC games library, but I’m just playing hours of American Truck Simulator, while listening to audiobooks, as the novelty of being able to easily play it on the big telly in the lounge just doesn’t wear off.

Sainsbury’s substituted my usual blackcurrant cordial for a Mandalorian and Grogu branded special edition one, so now my morning drink looks like I’m about to chug the T-1000. Modern life is rubbish.

Making my WiFi password extremely long and complex, so that suitors to my wife are humiliated by their inability to enter it correctly while I am away waging war against Troy.

Certainly interesting going from an NBA finals that people across oceans were talking about to a World Cup that I've only so far seen Americans talking about.

I think my absolute favourite bit of every Summer Game Fest is when they get deep in the weeds with a run of absolute nothing burgers and the presenters have to keep pulling the “you ain’t seen nothing yet, please stick around. PLEASE.”

Getting hands-on with Billy Bat AND the new volume of Yotsuba&! in the same span of weeks is a pretty bonkers confluence of high anticipation, I'll tell you what.
