Video Games

Placid Plastic Duck Simulator
Can't really say I "played" this, but I certainly left it running in the background for an hour-and-a-half and collected (and named) a bunch more ducks.

Fiction

Verity by Colleen Hoover
Chapters 1–3

Not usually my kind of thing, but something inspired me to buy this... only I can't remember what because it was so long ago now. Quite possibly that it's supposed to have an incredible twist — according to its own blurb, at least. It's largely Romance-y so far (even if the very first thing to happen is someone being brutally killed by a car!), so we'll see.

Video Games

Inertial Drift
As I said, I may have finished 'story mode' (with one character, anyway — I wonder how different the others are...), but there's still a load of options and unlockables. If I had one criticism, it's that the game could be a bit more guided about what I could/should do next.

Monument Valley II
New 'story' (it barely qualifies as such, but sure, technically there's something), same gameplay... which is fine, because the first one was hardly an epic that exhausted the concept.

You Suck at Parking
Got this in a mystery bundle — I never would've chosen to buy, but thought I'd give it a go. Played for 16 minutes and had kind of had enough. Maybe I'll get an itch to try it again. Maybe I never, ever will.
