Pretty impressed with this 30 Minute Fantasy kit. Pictured is just the base model without the fantasy armor. Solid and straightforward build, extremely posable. Hopefully the Knight armor won't limit his articulation too much!

Time for the annual tradition! How many poppies can I lose before November 11th?

For the life of me, I will never understand the appeal of corpo IP crossovers. The Simpsons in Fortnite! I cannot imagine a product more divorced from any of the aspects of the show I enjoyed.

Replaying Hollow Knight 'cause I was still hungry after Silksong and... hot take, but I do not think Nightmare King Grimm is a very good fight.
He is fast, punishing, and restrictive. He does X, you MUST respond with Y, or you'll take damage, sometimes twice; it's wholly responsive action.

At some point every Survival/Crafting game inevitably turns into a Warehouse Management Simulator as your base becomes overwhelmed with storage chests.

Sometimes I read something so good I get mad.
Also sometimes I read something so bad I get mad.

As much as I love Hollow Knight and Silksong, I do hope that Team Cherry's next game is something completely different.

Made a conscious effort this summer to read more outdoors (public gardens; waterfront) and the change of scenery really does make a huge difference to the reading experience.

Protip: if you have to write a thousand word rambling diatribe of a tumblr post in order to 'prove' a minor celebrity is a secret bigot - you've got nothing.
compare and contrast to Jeepers Kreepers Rowling, whose bigotry is easily demonstrated by simply linking to any number of her tweets.

Google is such a piece of shit. I search "luggage + my city" then click on maps to find, you know, luggage stores near me.
BUT when I clicked the map tab, it googles again, this time with the search term "Bentley" so only their local store shows up on my map. Fuck off.
and fuck you too Bentley.

my review:
Gameplay notwithstanding (and the gameplay is fantastic) Silksong is a must play simply for the craftsmanship on display. It is exquisitely polished on every level, brimming with little touches, and everyone involved in its making held themselves to the highest of standards.

A small #bookhaul for #booksky. I've been devouring Gabriel Garcia Marquez all summer long. And William Morris (1834–1896) is a cool guy. Socialist, early fantasy writer (big influence on Tolkien), printer, artist, designer, a real Renaissance Man.
