Books

• After the Darkness by Tilly Bagshawe
• All Systems Red (Murderbot 1) by Martha Wells: more popcorn cinema in book form.
• Artificial Condition (Murderbot 2) by Martha Wells: the murderbot is still deathly-afraid of interacting with people, which is hilarious. I also like the new second main character! One interesting note: there is a non-binary-gender person in here and it's completely normal.

Games

• Wanderstop: relaxing, but then in the middle they hit you with “I'm a horrible person”-kind of existential horror.

Backlog

• Kingdom Come: Deliverance II (from waitlist)
• Radiolight (from waitlist)
• Alan's Automaton Workshop (from waitlist)

Board games

• Ghostbumpers
• Dune: Imperium Uprising

Recipes

• Creme-Brulee-Schaum: delicious and completely worth the work

Other media

• Der Buchspazierer: a very kitschy German movie about an old man and a young girl, how they become friends and how all of their problems are solved by simply combining them all.
• Wake Up Dead Man: another murder mystery from the Knives Out series. They get more absurd and complicated with every iteration. It's no surprise, really, because you have to keep adding more and more and more to keep viewers hooked. It's quite a shame, really, because “regular” murder mysteries would be fine, too; instead, this one goes over the top more than once. Also, Pentobarbital is used in anesthesia and not quite as unavoidably deadly as stated in the film.
