Hard to believe it’s actually the year 2020! It’s a date used historically in sci-fi, and particularly a Cyberpunk RPG game I loved as a teen… so excited for the Cyberpunk 2077 title that’s coming in September!

Good news; it was at work, nothing personal… and all backed up to OneDrive 🙂 I thought they lasted close to forever, so I’ll be sure to backup everything this weekend, suggest you all do the same!

Let’s…

I’ve been back to Blighty for July to see whānau, except for catching up with old friends for a gamer night my only digital fix has been DOTA Underlords.

The latest Pratchett, and Gaiman, TV adaptation – Good Omens Good Omens, the genius of Pratchett’s with the twist of Gaiman, a collaboration made in heaven & hell.
