Due to the UK’s Online Safety Act implemented earlier this year, accessing my Bluesky DM’s now means I need to allow a third-party service to scan my face, ID, or bank card. Understandably, that gives me the willies. So I can either simply never look at my messages again, whip out the likeness of Norman…

Almost 30 years later, Suikoden 1 and 2 are still marvellous adventures that expertly combine supernatural shenanigans with the more worldly horrors of bloody war and the politics behind them, sprinkled with just enough silly minigames (cooking) and collectables (for the bath) to give them balance. Need to know What is it? Two classic RPGs…
Look, forgive me, all right? It’s Friday afternoon as I write this, and I know I’ve picked a silly image to go with an article on what is quite an important topic.
