ELDEN RING ELDEN RING ELDEN RING

Also forcing myself to finish reading Neuromancer, Gibson couldn’t seem to write with more than 1 hand but I want to see the origin of many Cyberpunk tropes so whatever.

I’ve been reading through Asimov’s Foundation series. I found the first book quite dull and the premise kind of difficult to buy, and a little too ‘great man of history’-y. The second was much better though, and actually featured a female character. How progressive!

I remember reading The Caves of Steel a long while back and I liked it a lot, so I was overall slightly disappointed here. But if the trend in quality continues in this way then the third book ought to be pretty good.

I am posting at work and will continue to post on company time IN FRONT OF MY BOSS

I just finished reading “What Moves The Dead” by T. Kingfisher. It was pretty good and pretty freaky, especially towards the climax.

Riven remake just released. I’ve been waiting for this day for years. Literally christmas for autistic girlies.

Elden Ring.

Currently re-reading Hwang’s Anarchism in Korea in preparation for a delve into some primary sources on the KPAM I finally rediscovered.

About to finish Quantum Break. Way better than I figured it would be. Even with Microsoft poking around Remedy kills it

I’m about to set up the greatest Skyrim build known to humankind; a werewolf crossbow rune magic alchemy build that will definitely keep me entertained until I lose focus around level 25 and run out of Dwemer ruins to explore

Currently reading The Saint of Bright Doors. It’s written as an allegory for the ethnoreligious conflict in Sri Lanka. I’m not done yet, but currently have mixed feelings. The writing style is good but there’s a long chapter in the middle that doesn’t seem to have much purpose beyond describing conditions in prison camps. It doesn’t impact the plot at all and has some continuity breaks (there’s a weird reference to huts being UN blue despite this occurring on a magical fantasy supercontinent that has not been described as having anything resembling a United Nations).

I like low fantasy magical realism where things are intentionally left vague and there isn’t a magic system with a detailed alternate physics, so I’m still reading.

I’m reading Heretics of Dune, 5th of the 6 Dune books written by Frank Herbert. It’s interesting to explore the Tleilaxu a bit, and see the God Emperor’s golden path come to fruition, but it seems like Frank is running out of juice. Also the horniness is really coming out now lol.

About to start Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD

I’m doing pretty great! I got put back on Zoloft this week and that has been excellent so far. I just feel a helluva lot happier, I’ve been slowly working on the horrible depression den that is my room. As always, I’m on the Pokemon Showdown grind. I need to get back into reading.

Finished reading Conspiracy Against the Human Race the other day. It’s ok. Not great. Not really a philosophical book, but more of an attempt at a fiction writer trying to write bleakly about an already bleak subject really. I was mostly digging it until the last chapter just turned into an analysis of Lovecraft’s and Poe’s writing styles since it was billed as a philosophical book and not a writer analysis but whatever.

Ligotti mostly just writes like “here is why sad, I won’t explain it further but here’s the writer’s thoughts on this that I’ve been jerking off the entire book. Also here is a great modern philosopher who I don’t even know their real name.” He also does that repetition thing like you see in theory but it just never really lands.

Probably a 5/10 book for me really.

Also I started playing Axiom Verge again randomly the other day. I’m 2 bosses in and rage quit over the fast screechy zombie boys. Probably try to get back to it today.

I just started Cult of the Lamb yesterday. What a strange little adorable game! I’m having a great time with it so far

Im gonna go poop
