Uboat kept crashing on save, and I kept at it anyway, retry after retry, until it finally took. There’s a particular stubbornness that video games bring out that nothing else does; I couldn’t tell you why this one save mattered so much, only that giving up on it wasn’t really an option once I’d started. In the evening I settled into more of Slow Horses, which keeps earning the time I put into it. Small, satisfying day: one fix that shouldn’t have taken that long, and a show that’s better than it has any right to be.
