Mirthwood Foreword This review is based around final release, patch 1.0.41.p2. Overall, my thoughts – and Steam review – are negative, with the observation that I’m still playing and that Mirthwood is not a terrible game – just that I don’t think it’s not worth buying yet.

Len’s Island Guide Flow Studio – a four-man Aussie indie – have been working on Len’s Island for seven years now and expect it to be finished later this year (i.e. mid 2025). I played in early access (0.9.041) and found it bug free and very polished. The final release will add a multi-player option

Potion tycoon This is a first look in early access at Potion Tycoon. It’s a little buggy at times, and can freeze occasionally, (especially on the marsh setting, I find), but it’s more than stable enough to play.

Porch pirates in the UK Dear Amazon, If your driver just dumps the package in the drive where anyone walking past can steal it, it’s not bloody well delivered. This is hardly the first time this has happened, but it’s getting annoying now. We were all in, they didn’t knock, they just left it in
Politics at play – vote X, get Y This post explores the notion, coined by the Conservative chairman, that voting for Reform in the 2024 General Election will put Labour in power.
