    Also there are few amazing "normal" parks, which I found unexpectedly wild, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampstead_Heath

    I find London rather nice now, but it's big and it took me quite a few visits to find the places I like.

    Could it be these hilarious emails which claim to have recorded webcam videos of me doing "private things", and ask for bitcoins? That's the kind of thing which you might not want to bring up as evidence, and matches the TV paranoia, since the (non-existing camera) has to be somewhere.

    Finished Cipher Zero. Logic puzzles where the fun is figuring out the rules. Nice progression, and it's very pretty, too.

    I played it a while ago (also "co-op"). Some of the solution path was nice, but in the end we were pretty disappointed (I can't say how without spoilers).

    spoilers:


    We liked the first thing you have to solve: with the vowel/dissonant pairs. But then the number solution was a basic sum puzzle, which was bad enough, but then the last 2 digits you got but counting stars on a document or something. Neither made any sense in the context of a Rosetta stone. The main text (the 2nd stone?) was basically a literal mapping from the one language to the other. We really expected the translation to be way more lose.
    I really like the idea of the game, but I would have liked / expected something different.
