@la_riviere Sounds nasty. Hope you get better soon.

Currently laid up with a bacterial lung-infection and for some reason decided to finish Warriors of the Deep. Easily the worst thing I’ve suffered through this week.

The Crystal Palace Dinosaurs. These wonderful Victorian sculptures are currently being restored as part of a wider park regeneration. containsmoderateperil.com/blog/2026/4/13… #tourism

Crimson Desert: Patches and Continuous Improvement. Pearl Abyss are listening to player feedback and quickly implementing positive changes. As a result the game just keeps getting better. containsmoderateperil.com/blog/2026/4/11… #gaming

Margin Call (2011). Tense, smart and dramatic. with a great cast. J C Chandor's film about the 2008 financial crash is as engaging as any espionage thriller. containsmoderateperil.com/blog/2026/4/7/… #movies

The Hindenburg (1975). Despite a good cast and innovative special effects, this disaster movie is slow and somewhat dull until the last 20 minutes. containsmoderateperil.com/blog/2026/4/3/… #movies

Starfield: Unexpected DLC. I last played Starfield over 2 years ago. Recently some new DLC appears out of nowhere (as far as I'm concerned) and my first reaction is "let's re-install the game". A few thoughts on why this is a bad idea. containsmoderateperil.com/blog/2026/4/9/… #gaming

The Philosophy of Crimson Desert. Unlike many modern games that strive to keep the player "busy" and "making progress", Crimson Desert actively encourages you to stop for a moment and be present in the in-game world of Pywel. containsmoderateperil.com/blog/2026/4/1/… #gaming

@SusanCalman currently in Budapest on a Danube Cruise thanks to your TV show. Met an American tourist who is also here for the same reason, so thanks 👍

@DudesWalking A Hungarian pigeon in Budapest. Walked 8 kilometers on a tour today.

@la_riviere The Bridge SNP in Bratislava has what I thought to be Thunderbird's style control room. Very Derek Meddings. Turns out it's a restaurant and observation deck.

Beer o'clock.

Are we there yet?

Crimson Desert: Arm Wrestling Quick Time Event. In an age of alleged accessible gaming, are QTEs now an obsolete game mechanic? Plus, how I used AutoHotKey to beat this one. containsmoderateperil.com/blog/2026/3/22… #gaming

NVIDIA DLSS 5. Setting aside arguments relating to "AI slop", are not the main problems stemming from the use of this technology mainly legal and the potential cost? containsmoderateperil.com/blog/2026/3/21… #gaming

Crimson Desert: Initial Thoughts. Visually stunning with multiple systems and complex menus. Like an MMO, it takes its time to get going. If you're looking for another Skyrim or Witcher III, you'll be disappointed. This is different. containsmoderateperil.com/blog/2026/3/20… #gaming

Bless me. Didn't expect that. RIP Mr Norris.

Uncanny: Fear of the Dark. The popular paranormal investigation podcast takes to the stage for a live show. Great fun but the scariest thing was the price of a beer at the theatre. containsmoderateperil.com/blog/2026/3/17… #uncanny
