I beat the original dark souls without realizing there were different weight thresholds for rolling. I fat rolled the entire game. Also didn't realize boosting vigor was important for hp. I did 99% strength/stamina and only as much dex as required to weild my weapons.

Everything's going to be okay.

You really really really aren't as smart as you think you are.

Wisdom is realizing today how dumb you were yesterday.

Take care of your back.

If you have good shoes and a good mattress then life is good.

Try napping. I know it seems like you're wasting your weekend, but seriously you should try it.

Letterkenny has already been mentioned, but be sure to check out it's spinoff Shoresy. I actually like it even more than Letterkenny.

For something old and very weird try Lexx. It's the story of a security guard, a love slave, a dead assassin, and a robot head who accidentally get control of a giant bug spaceship (the Lexx), which is also the most powerful weapon of destruction ever created. It's, dark, weird, disturbing, gross, sexy, funny, and the greatest show ever made.

I'm only a few weeks in. I haven't watched wrestling really since Lucha Underground ended. I don't care much for WWE or AEW. I had hoped NWA was going to be fore me, but after Cornette left, then covid hit, it lost its pizazz. Impact feels like a good fit for me now. Solid matches, stories seem to make sense, and just a little bit off the wall in a way that reminds me a bit of Lucha. Also 90 minutes a week (plus ppvs) is about as much wrestling as I can handle right now.

I'm looking forward to more of Nick Aldis in Impact. Also Rosemary/Courtney Rush is always cool.

The Silmarillion was a huge surprise when I read it. I remember thinking it reminded more of the Bible than Lord of the Rings... but in a good way.

I'm late to the party. I love these kinds of things. For something a bit more esoteric I recommend the Book of Enoch. Also the Aenead is absolutely thrilling with some very exciting fight scenes. The Arthurian legends are my favourite though, particularly Le Morte D'arthur by Thomas Mallory, though it can be a bit long winded and repetitive at times.

If you like the basic structure and action of mythology, then pulp adventure fiction from the early/mid 20th century is worth investigating. The original Conan stories by Robert E. Howard are fantastic. If you prefer cosmic horror then HP Lovecraft is the originator, and arguably the best. Clark Ashton Smith has beautifully written adventure stories that straddle swashbuckling and horror. I could go on and on, but most authors from the time are in the public domain and can be read for free through project Gutenberg or other ebook services like that.
