I find about 20-25% of Retrogamer still worth reading. I wonder if it’s as much because it feels like they are retreading old ground or dredging up obscure and not especially interesting content.

Sadly Wireframe is no more, that was my favourite magazine of the last few years… I enjoy Switch Player and Debug Magazine, but these are both boutique low run mags that you need to order directly. I don’t rate the mainstream gaming magazines much, to be honest.

Does your local library membership include electronic magazines via an app like PressReader? Mine does and there are a ton of free magazines of all genres. In general they have the last three months worth of issues and it might help you find one you like before you buy a paper copy (if indeed that’s your style). Subscriptions are nearly always massively cheaper than buying in the shops.

I particularly enjoy Uncut, as being the best of all the music magazines IMHO. One of the only ones I read cover to cover is Linux Format. And I have a subscription to Retrogamer, but to be honest that’s not very good anymore and I won’t be renewing it.

a scientific survey to find out whether wild badgers are carrying bTB.

It was this bit that really threw me. I mean, have we been killing all these badgers for years and we don’t actually know if they are carrying Bovine TB?!

I’ve not been keeping up with this, because I’m a city type, but this paragraph seems absolutely wild to me.

It will also create a badger vaccination taskforce and set up a scientific survey to find out whether wild badgers are carrying bTB.

One model on display, the Dolphin, sells for around £25,000 ($33,000); British car reviewers have called the pricing “attractive” and “impressively low”.

British car reviewers need to take a good long look at themselves.

It’s a great portrayal, but the later episodes when he was quite ill are hard to watch. He is still fantastic, but clearly struggling with his illness and the side effects of medication. Of course, by all accounts he smoked ferociously, but still.

Followed the link to see what the rest of the truncated headline was, but that it. That’s the headline 🤔

They’re always doing this pish. I once accidentally bought one that had popping candy in it and it was boke.

This data is not beautiful. It’s is confusing. Data is confusing.
