We'll end up with a live action The Muppet Movie remake only starring humans.

I've started rereading The Way of Kings and The Lies of Locke Lamora in Spanish. LLL is a bit of a struggle even remembering several parts of it word for word but TWoK is much more simply-written, it's quite encouraging getting through a few sentences at a time without needing to stop to translate something. Still working up the mental energy to start Words of Radiance, it's been hard to get into anything new lately.

On the other hand, I have a few dozen tvtropes tabs open and, like some kind of hydra, every time I close one I somehow end up with more than I had before. I don't even care about the outdated fan speculation for Monster Hunter games, but I can't stop!

I lost half a dozen times then summoned my mimic and stomped her. Probably going to get a boss revival mod and try again, it was pretty unsatisfying.

There are some weird choices in here. Skimming the list I can see a few things I've read that surprise me. Fable by Adrienne Young is just a fairly generic YA fantasy thing for example, I can't think of anything in that that would bother anyone. Victor & Nora: A Gotham Love Story is a melancholy backstory of a Batman villain, this is insane. I see a Catwoman book in there too, but it's by Sarah J Maas and everything of hers appears to have been blanket-banned. I'm assuming that was included because Harley and Ivy are in it and they're probably bi in that universe.

How were these books chosen? Was it just a ctrl+f for words they didn't like? There are some things missing that I'd have expected to see based on what I read back in high school, but I was more of a public library kid than a school library one because that's where you could find the good stuff.

Caravan was great back at launch on xbox, the opponents didn't play properly and you could effortlessly clean out entire inventories of shopkeepers because they'd bet their store earnings. Then I moved to PC and it was a lot less braindead & not worth the effort, it actually knew how to use the face cards.

Congrats on the three promotions mate :)

I finally finished The Way of Kings which I've been reading since last July. I love a good slow burn and was enjoying reading a chapter a week or so, but I couldn't put it down for the last dozen chapters, it got so damn good. I'm taking a couple of weeks off work soon, so I might wait until I get back before I start the next one.

For tonight I'm in a bad mood so I think I'll stick with something quick and dumb like Kissing the Coronavirus to cheer myself up a bit. Or skim through an old comfort read like The Lies of Locke Lamora.

"I do shoot myself in the foot from time to time, but at least you know it is genuine, not from the PR department," he admitted.

Well, at least the advertisers know he meant it when he literally told them to go fuck themselves. That'll help, I think.

Are the original reddit posts bots? Between this and Bloodborne there have been half a dozen or so posts that are just a picture of a dude and a really generic content-farm title.

I mixed up Macedonia with Mongolia and almost failed. Got it on the last guess.
