| Media | Title | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| [icon name="film" prefix="fas"] | "Persuasion (2022)" - initially escapist fun but by two hours I was screaming for the protagonists to get it together | [icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"] |
| [icon name="newspaper" prefix="fas"] | "BYTE Magazine", 1980 July to December - Some interesting names from history wrote articles for Byte, who knew? | [icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"] |
| [icon name="film" prefix="fas"] | "Luck" (Apple TV+), Visually reminscent of "Robots" but tries too hard to be cute and meaningful so the story was a bit strained I feel. | [icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"] |
| [icon name="film" prefix="fas"] | "Thirteen Lives" - incredible story, outstanding movie! | [icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"] |
| [icon name="book-open" prefix="fas"] | "God Emperor of Dune", Frank Herbert. Starting to get a little Dune fatigue, especially with Leto II spending the whole book being a bit of a d*ck... | [icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"] |
| [icon name="tv" prefix="fas"] | "The Sandman" (Netflix), faithful to the original, perfectly cast, astounding show. Tempted to immediately watch it all over again. | [icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"] |
| [icon name="headphones-alt" prefix="fas"] [icon name="book-open" prefix="fas"] | "The Quarry", Iain Banks - Can't really help feeling this went nowhere and was a (possibly justified) rant against the world. Good audio performance though and Kit was well realised. | [icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"] |
| [icon name="xbox" prefix="fab"] | "Halo Infinite" (ABANDONED) - finally admitted I can't even get through the training level; and that 99GB of disk space would be better used for something else. | N/A |
| [icon name="book-open" prefix="fas"] [icon name="plus" prefix="fas"] [icon name="book-open" prefix="fas"] | "The Lord of the Rings", J.R.R Tolkein, alongside "LotR A Reader's Companion", W.G. Hammond, C. Schull" - The companion added much to what is always an enjoyable and still moving re-read. | [icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"] |
| [icon name="book-open" prefix="fas"] | "Opal Country", Chris Hammer - a complex tale with flawed, realistic characters absolutely oozing with atmosphere. Back on form. | [icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"][icon name="star" prefix="fas"] |
