Don't play a great many computer games these days, but having learned that I can use a cloud-based gaming service that avoids the need to buy a more modern computer I've been giving Atomfall a go.

Great fun on the whole, although today I found my long covid symptoms were really getting in the way. I had to get an Xbox controller to use the games, not a joystick I'm familiar with, and there was too much confusion in trying to remember which of the many, many buttons did what. Yesterday went far more smoothly, so I know it's not purely down to me being distinctly sub-mediocre at these games. Packed up for the day after I lost count of how many times I'd been trounced by outlaws.

I do need to read the instructions again, though, as I'm discovering functions I'd missed. For instance, it turns out that my character can throw knives and similar weapons. I discovered this when facing an outlaw, as I pressed something and watched as Our Hero tossed the knife—the knife he was trying to fend off an attacker with—into some dense shrubbery, thus neatly disarming himself.
