I just fixed my oven (hooray!). This warning on the back made me chuckle. I was born in Cali so does this mean my oven might harm me? Or because I’ve been a resident of a different state for years I am now immune? 😆

I got my Caves of Qud poster! Love the old sci-fi novel aesthetic. My reflection making me look like I am the Chrome Pyramid 😂

A caves of Qud poster that is made to look like an old beat up paperback novel. The title is “The Breath of Gods”, the cover illustration features a chrome pyramid looming in the distance. In the foreground is a little wanderer that is seemingly making their way toward the pyramid, over a desert of red sand, their tiny frame illuminating just how MASSIVE a Chrome Pyramid is. The base of the cover says “A Classic Caves of Qud Chronicle”.

A closeup of the wander on the poster. Their wide brimmed hat and cloak blow in the wind, a rifle is strapped to their back.

A little yellow 50¢ price tag sits in the top right corner of the novel on the poster

I started Gene Wolfe’s The Book of the New Sun after learning his prose was a big influence on Caves of Qud. Just finished the first volume and wow. It’s awesome! Qud def captures the same vibe. Can’t wait to start the next volume! Highly recommend~

A late winter snow fell over the area this morning. The sun burrowed frantically through the cloud layer to get to it, to sear it off, to lap it up like a golden retriever. Redwing blackbirds egged her on from the cattails as she came closer and closer to breaking through and reclaiming the valley.

Was surprised at the date cliffhanger in ep 3 though…is that all ep 4 will be? Some real funny moments in ep 3, like Frieren’s reaction to Starks request for advice. Her being stuck between those two is a good bit imo. We’re definitely going to see their kids meet Frieren, right? 😆
