But it’s not a powerhouse, and it was never going to be able to handle the latest AAA titles. Given that I wasn’t able to explore the physical world, I found solace in open world games where I could get out and do whatever the hell I wanted - visiting new locations, admiring the countryside, talking to strangers, and visiting the taverns, bars, shops, and pubs which remain closed in the real world.ĭue to an unfortunate incident which saw a heavy metal object smashing through the screen of my excellent and much loved Dell laptop, I took a chance on the GPD P2 Max - a teeny tiny laptop with a very usable keyboard and a diminutive 8.9 inch screen. Instead, I spent most of 2021 and the first months of 2021, indoors with my entire family, working, helping with schoolwork, and of course, playing games. I was looking forward to taking my caravan and meeting up with friends at small, five van sites across the British Isles and Europe. I was supposed to be hiking across Scotland in April (a year ago now). 2020 was a tough year and the plans I had in place were inevitably cancelled as Coronavirus swept across the planet, killed millions, and prompted a series of legal restrictions on movements and activities within the UK. The Crow hasn’t left the nest much over the last 12 months.
