If the thing impersonating Blair could escape from that shed then by God I can achieve my goals too, impostor or not

Yes, absolutely. I'll still be making this argument passionately when I'm 90 and everybody has stopped listening

I just wouldn't want it ever assumed that I'm the kind of person who'd misspell a dragon's name

Ahhhh, got it. In Elden Ring there's a giant immobile dragon named "Greyoll" as a clear homage, which is the only Shep-oleth I've ever seen in mass media. So that's what that reference was about.

Yeah I'm approaching the whole idea with a grain of salt the size of the Indiana Jones boulder, but it has the *potential* to be interesting. Or at least pretty.

With Garland doing an Elden Ring movie we may not get his take on R&R, but one lucky concept artist out there just might get to be Alex Garland's man who painted the dragon Greyoll

I need to reread that bad boy, it's been a very long time. Shepard's one of the most ludicrously underdiscussed SFF novelists of the 20th century if you ask me.

You gotta do all of Life During Wartime, otherwise you miss out on the part where a guy is suffocated to death by vengeful butterflies

I'm the type of goon who clutches his belly and then falls forward directly through a wooden railing going "AIEEEEE" before landing in a horse trough

The best part of using this here is that Charles Le Sorcier's father was named Michael Mauvais, meaning the son of a bitch in question did, in fact, change his last name

A truly Odious decision

Fuck this shit

BREAKING — 51 Iranian children are dead after a strike hits Minab girls elementary school in Iran.

Well, collaborating-wise it was. We'd already been sharing Wolfe thoughts before that!

One of em, yeah (the other is Submachine Legacy, from a couple years ago, which is also great). This one has the original episodes grafted together in a pretty organic way so it feels like one long narrative, plus the art and music got an overhaul

It very much is!

As I recall that review was where it all started for you and I!

I'd be remiss not to put this on the radar of such aesthetic luminaries as @drewduncanart.bsky.social, @spacemacchiato.bsky.social, @vor-bokor.bsky.social and @ramonkey.bsky.social

Daymare Town review | Adventure Game Hotspot If you can get on its distinctively weird, oppressive wavelength and stay there, you’ll find Mateusz Skutnik’s Daymare Town second to none in terms of atmosphere, aesthetics, and ability to keep you c...

My review of Daymare Town, the latest first-person point-and-click phantasmagoria by Mateusz Skutnik. A gorgeously weird and captivating sojourn through a creepy pen-and-ink fugue state, full of uniquely odd creatures and surreal settings. adventuregamehotspot.com/review/5634/...

It speaks to children in a language they understand about the gap they sense between their parents' world and their own, and helps them consider the thought that it's just as daunting for adults as it is for them--not because they lack the will to bridge it, but for fear that they won't know how.

For reference everybody this isn't about me. Drew and I hug all the time, it's honestly excessive and makes people uncomfortable

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

When I read a piece of contemporary SFF, and it feels like something is wrong with it, it's more often than not that feels like the wrong length. Sometimes a novel feels too stretched and spread out, but I've also often had that sense that a novella was a novel overly stripped down.

Please do update us if and when you find a big spider leg lying around somewhere

I find that the surest sign of a person's non-culpability is when they repeatedly air non-specific claims about high-powered lawyers conspiring against them

If I don't follow an account but have seen their stuff reposted enough times that I've learned who they are I mute em on principle. Can't trust somebody with that kind of mass appeal

Finally got around to watching The Turin Horse. Captivating, like all Tarr's work, but little real connection to the supposed source material. Hardly anything ties the horse of the title to the story in question, and what's more, Glaurung never even shows up.

Not sure why they semi-anglicized it there, but the artist is Philippe Druillet

Grocery store was out of platybelodon meat again

I'd rather you didn't, personally
