Enzo Fernández is good with the ball, but he is nowhere near good enough on the ball to justify his lack of ability and contribution off it, especially as a deeper player. That doesn't even just mean defence. For a supposed playmaker the positions he takes up to recieve are shit.

Watched (most of) the Madrid game earlier and fucking hell, Mbappe is genuinely just fucking pony at the moment. Genuinely just gets in the way and makes them worse, doesn't get at or stretch defences at all. For a player as fast and gifted as he is, his movement on and off the ball is embarrassing.

I mean, you should just play Iconoclasts, you really should. Great story, and one of the bad guys is a top 5 villain in fiction for me I think. Plus it just plays good, fun to explore, bosses are great.

Iconoclasts is something I seem to recommend every other Steam sale, but for good reason. Still some of the most impressive pixelart and animation I have ever seen, impressive boss battles, incredible story and characters, and some unbelievable music. It's a serious gem.

Sam Goodman has decided to turn up to Japan and just absolutely maul Ryosuke Nishida on the inside. Wasn't expecting this gameplan from him but Nishida really doesn't seem to have answers. It's like he saw Nakatani break him to bits in their fight and thought he'd try some of that too.

Nathan Heaney may not have reached elite levels as a boxer, but the level anticipation just for his final walkout tells you a lot about the kind of fan favourite he is... Liam Davies beat the brakes off Nathaniel Collins for a European title and his main focus after was 'can't wait for the walkout'.

I could go for ages here, but the one that always springs to mind is Vellum, and its sequel Ink, by Hal Duncan, a series that I really think should be held up alongside any of the 'you really need to pay attention, and read it twice' classics of SFF. It's so, so good at so many things.

What's a book you love with all your goddamn heart that you believe did NOT get the love and attention it's due? I'll go first, and it's abso-LUT-ely THE CITY IN GLASS by Nghi Vo. There are moments from that book that live in my blood and wake me from the dark.

He's right, y'all should read Gnomon. It's incredible. (I'd argue that comparing it to Inception is incredibly generous to Inception, but I guess my problems with that movie are for me to deal with lol)

I don't think @nickharkaway.com needs help from me, but I find his GNOMON underappreciated in SFF circles. It's an absolutely brilliant Inception-y mystery/thriller thing, one of the best SF I've read in years.
