Sometimes I put some thoughts or updates here.

  I just received this year's edition of SpeeDons T-shirts. As usual, they come with superb illustrations from Dzoan Ho. I think that in the last three years or so, I've only bought T-shirts during this event, and I regret nothing. This time I got 2 normal ones, 2 limited editions, and I also managed to get the sweatshirt. Super happy about that!

  This Sunday, we finished Escape Academy with the girlfriend. It took us around 6 hours across 4 sessions.

  It is an excellent two-player cooperative game and you can feel that it was designed to be played remotely with someone else. A lot of gameplay mechanics require collaboration and solutions benefit from different ways of thinking, so it is very likely that both players will have their moments to shine. The puzzles are well balanced. Not too complicated, so it remains a casual and fun game, but not too easy, so it gives you a real sense of accomplishment and multiple aha moments.

  It is a game I would highly recommend playing.

  I watched The Odyssey in the cinema today, mainly out of FOMO. First of all, WTF with all those ads before the movie, I'm paying to watch the film, not ads.

  Anyway, regarding the movie. It is genuinely a good movie, I enjoyed watching it. I'm just a bit sad about the lost potential, I would have loved a more contemplative/traveling movie with more cinematic shots of the boat, the ocean, and the islands. Also, the narrative decision of telling the story as a succession of flashbacks breaks the immersion for me.

  But overall, it's one of the best movies of recent years, and I would definitely recommend watching it.
