Summer update 2021: getting rid of dependencies
Photo by Nattu Adnan on Unsplash I have been away from this site for a long time. I was busy buying a house and preparing a wedding, and my motivation took a serious hit. Things are starting to calm down so I will hopefully write more posts from now on. I removed some pages from…

Movie review burst #3
When Harry Met Sally Rob Reiner (1989) I will say this is not Rob Reiner’s best work. I enjoyed it as you get that nice eighties throwback.

Astro’s Playroom SIE Japan Studio – Asobi Team (2020) The amount of fun that is packed into this tiny game/tech-demo is nothing short of astonishing. It makes a tremendous job of showing you the different features of the DualSense controller. It’s basically a collection fest through and through, but it was one of the best…
