Bubumbu Played the entire game again to mop up all achievements. First time was on my desktop Mac, this time on Steam Deck — if anything, I enjoyed playing it with trackpads more than with a mouse... although my thumb felt surprisingly tired afterwards. (Also, you'll be pleased to hear that Bond reward turned up in my IOI account today. I've uninstalled Hitman again already, probably forever

Hitman: World of Assassination After my disastrous first attempt at this game, I never thought I'd be back; but, long story short, there's a free Bond tie-in level that, if you play it, unlocks a bonus in the forthcoming James Bond game, and I'm told all you have to do is "play it" in the sense of "start it" (as opposed to "complete it") to unlock the bonus — so I did that.

Swords Against Wizardry by Fritz Leiber II. Stardock pp.1–6 Stardock is about the same length as Ill Met in Lankhmar, which I did read in one sitting; but it’s not that much shorter than Adept’s Gambit, which I did not. However, like the former and unlike the latter, it does not have chapters, hence page numbers.

Swords Against Wizardry by Fritz Leiber I. In the Witch's Tent After a little time off for some other books, it's back to Nehwon for the fourth volume of adventures of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. This is a low-key start — a "short story" so short that it barely qualifies as a story — but next up is one of the longest tales so far.

The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder by David Grann Chapters 23–26 Epilogue [the end] This being a non-fiction / journalistic / historiographic work, there's also an extensive amount of notes and bibliography at the end. Some of it looked quite interesting, but other bits are dry citations, and my Kindle said it was over an hour of reading time — it wasn't that interesting.

Doctor Who: The Code of Flesh written by Andrew Lane, read by Dan Starkey I've been meaning to continue these audio-exclusive 8th Doctor adventures ever since I listened to the first two-and-a-half years ago. Yes, I know that's ridiculous; but hey, I got here eventually. Hopefully I won't leave it so long before the next one (there are four in this sequence, so far) because they're quite good.
