Revenge is a dish best served cold. With a fist to the face.

Take that, fascist!

Atari 2600 - Amstrad 6128 - and then SNES and Megadrive and onwards with a PC, PS1, PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and pretty much every Nintendo

I could only get the dvd for this one

Extensive was prob the word I should have used, but that’s perfect - thanks
December 1, 2025 at 7:15 PM
Ok thanks. I’ll have a peruse of that article in a bit

One final question, can you recommend any definitive non-fiction book on the history/development of cosmic horror?

I’ve got most of Howard’s other genre stuff, altho not sure if any I have were under his pseudonyms. Might need to investigate that

Are any of HPLs pseudonym works available or worth a read? Or is it a case of everything has been repubbed under his actual name now?
December 1, 2025 at 7:06 PM
Did any of said big names ever write under pseudonyms? Maybe in a diff genre?

So far, I've been recuited by Jabba the Hutt's minions, upset the Empire, seriously upset another gang and set off their alrms, got into a lengthy battle with pirates, nearly eaten by some nearly blaster immune beasts and fallen off a cliff.

Typical day in the life of Kay Vess!

Having been through it earlier this year, that sucks. Fingers crossed for you

😂 Well if he didn't get the memo about the new cover sheets..

I think mine is delayed as the British Library Shop haven't begun the shipping yet for subs, but I am too looking forward to this one!

It a vid which takes Darth Vader scenes and replaces his voice with the gangster dialogue from the film Snatch

I just pulled Wandering Earth out of a box and onto the tbr, as I'm hoping to read a lot more non-western SF next year for fresher perspectives and new ideas, alongside the stacks of classic, traditional stuff

One for the list

That's very nice. Who is the artist, does it say?
November 30, 2025 at 11:20 PM
I can understand that. For me, I think it's more about bringing awareness of its usefulness to more people than judging or condeming people for not using ALT, which unless it's big account, is not a constructive way forward
November 30, 2025 at 10:44 PM
I will do, glazed with honey

I need to read more Machen. I've read the odd story in anthologies, but I think next year I will have a big push to fully catch up on the three big names I've only touched upon in small doses; Machen, James and Dunsany

I'm flip flopping in decision between this and the new Alastair Reynolds tonight. I mean I'll end up reading both, it's which to be first!

This scene is ruined for me since I watched the Snatch Wars video on Youtube. Now I can only hear Brick Top 😂
