- 🎮 Donut Country — You move a hole around and get things to fall down it. Very satisfying mechanic. The kid and I loved it. Except the story part, which was excruciatingly long and boring. More things falling into holes and puzzles and less talky talky.
- 📕 The Nineties — A smart look back at this decade. I don’t think there is much to be learned here, but the analysis was still astute and the nostalgia was thick.
- 📺 The Penguin — Pop Culture Happy Hour convinced me this “Batman without Batman” thing was a good show, and they were right. It’s way more interesting than it should be for such a nothing premise.
- 🎮 Unravel Two — From 2018 just like Donut Country. Maybe that’s just how long it takes for games to become “free” on Xbox Game Pass as that’s how we got both. This game rules. It’s a puzzle-per-screen pretty much with very gently increasing complication. The kid can play, but if it gets too hard, it’s not entirely necessary.
- 📺 Wednesday — Endearing and perfectly cast.
- 📺 Slow Horses — People kept trying to convince me it was good but I had like three false starts as it starts soooo slowwww and boring. It finally got going and I ended up really liking the real-time-ish feeling romp of Season 1. I’ll probably keep going eventually. I’m just petering out on shows lately, even ones I like. Whatever I just like going to bed at 8pm.
