Finished God of War 2018 today.
Start Date: Nov 27, 2025
Finish Date: Dec 2,2025
A great time, a unique take on Norse mythology with game-play that's simple at first but once you dig into it, there's a fair bit of meat here.
I recommend it.
That's as much as I can say without spoiling things.

I was trying to track down the source of Gramsci's "time of monsters" quote and found that it's a "mistranslation" (ie he just made it up) by Slavoj Zizek. Gramsci's line clearly translates as "morbid symptoms" instead. Mad that you can just rewrite a famous quote and get it widely accepted.

I don't think Mr. Schlarb is on BlueSky but if he is, tell him I said thank you for giving me a very neat surprise when I ordered the Klyfta Tapes.
#197, by the way.
Can't wait to listen to the records and read the lil' manifesto. Maybe it'll give me the push I need.
