Automotive journalist for Moottori magazine, ex-freelance videogamist (RIP Pelaaja magazine). Also photography, movies, tech, nonsense etc.

Sent some film for development. I hope they come back with better pictures than I sent them with. There's also a photo of two blue A110s side by side, which I know will hurt me when I see it.

Moving in a few months so had my last ever doctor's appointment at the hospital I was born in. My doctor clearly had a hard time saying goodbye, we've had a good routine for the past years.

"I made a mistake in that sentence—the Nikon 180-600mm is actually 95.5 mm longer than the 70-200mm.I meant to say that the 70-200mm is longer than the Tamron 50-400mm (which is 185.8 mm), but I typed the wrong lens name. Thank you for catching that!" – Google AI trying to plead "I mistyped".

Washed some branded jeans that are all TOUGH and RUGGED until you show them a washing machine. Then it's all "oh no don't wash us wrong we will die" and "here's seven certificates of authenticity including RFID, but who knows how to wash us".

Holy meta Dave the Diver is wild. Last night played through Balatro and Metal Gear bits. Sometimes I feel it's the spiritual sequel to Assassin's Creed 2 in "how much random stuff can there be AND the game still somehow holds together".

Sooooo... I went from using an Apple Watch (love the data, hate the notification and without notifications might just as well use something else) to an activity tracker (Polar Loop since I care about my data). That means I can now use a normal watch again, so I'm immediately back to my last love.

A Timex GMT watch on wrist next to a green sleeve.

Until Dawn 2 deserves its own thing: looks worse and more horny than the original, BUT... We played Until Dawn 1 at the uni with a group and everyone got to control -a character- and make those choices, and we finished the game in one sitting. People STILL TO THIS DAY talk about "you shot me!" and

State of Play in a nutshell: -Ace Combat 8 release daaaaate!!! -Stuntman writes a big cheque, let's see if they can cash it -Bancho (Dave the Diver) looks great! Day 1 if I can finish Dave first. -Wolverine looks pretty solidly Spider-manny, probably day 1 -Gitaroo Man yay!
