    The first Blu-ray I ever bought was the director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven because I read it looked amazing, and it really is. I've still got the disc, so I can see it again whenever I want!

    I haven't actually played it (despite owning it, which is quite embarrassing), but Star Realms always comes up in lists of two-player games.

    "I find that it's a wonderful combination of impostor syndrome, fear of failure, and a need to avoid looking unintelligent that drives my procrastination." There are dozens of us. DOZENS!

    The Prodigy released an album of remixes from Fat of the Land this week, so off the back of that I've been listening to their first two albums for the first time in ages. Apart from that, my usual techno mixes from SoundCloud: Drumcode, Era Radio, In The Mood, Club Room with Anja Schneider, and Germ Theory.

    The guy that owns my gym put me onto a blackened doom band called 1914, too. Not usually my sound but they're pretty good.

    The soundtracks are all released via Curaga Records: https://curagarecords.bandcamp.com/ They're on Spotify too, not sure about other streaming services. My favourite one is probably the Yoshi one.

    I'm like you in that I prefer downtempo stuff. Krüder and Dorfmeister are good for this. I've also been reviewing the LoFi VGM series of video game soundtracks; the Zelda, Yoshi and Deltarune...

    The German language has loads of these. I like Kummerspeck, which refers to the weight one puts on by emotional overeating. The literal translation is "grief bacon".

    It was my Reddit username, and it's a Mix Master Mike reference.
