Better weather is here – a couple of days of 15° weather and some good-looking COVID stats has me excited for the potential of a something approaching a ‘normal’ summer. 🌞

I always tell myself I’ll read more, but did I do that this week? I did not. Instead I started playing Control on the Switch. I don’t often play ‘serious’ games, but the story is great so far. On the Switch, the game is streamed from a server which does all the heavy lifting. It works really well, and it looks incredible. It feels like a sensible future: why pay for an expensive console that’s dated after a couple of years when you can rent one?
