Fanatical recently had a bundle for the old Dark Conspiracy RPG and boy do I have some thoughts. It wasn't bad, maybe I'll write up a review.

Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen is an insanely good show with vibes that are off the chart.

Spanish horror is on a high and The Wailing (2024) is an excellent example of it. Very like It Follows, but with its own unique approach.

idk feels like uniformed fascists occupying Soho should be bigger news

If you're headed to #UKGE2025 you can buy copies of CONT/EXT from the nice people at @uktin.bsky.social. They're at table 383 in the NEC Hall 2.

Just finished Octavia Butler's post- (mid?) apocalyptic classic, Parable of the Sower. You can see how it influenced things like The Road and 28 Days Later. Lots about environmental catastrophe and authoritarian capitalism, relevant to our present.

The Storm Beneath the World was kinda silly in places, but a lot of fun and some really interesting worldbuilding.

From S01E03, Jodi was a bit-character who shows up with a list of complaints. She earns House’s respect by admitting she’s just getting the most out of her insurance before she’s fired. “I just don't like being told what to do.” Same, Jodi, same.

This kind of casually passive-aggressive response is exactly why I hate forums/Discords.

Before I answer this a second time, I’d like to know what you found lacking in my first attempt

Not sure if I'm enjoying this. Apart from the lurid cover, it's quite slow and rambling, but I want to know what happens.

Sometimes I think about things. For example, gritty, shared-universe reboots they'll never make.

Screenshot of note reading:

Cabot Cove

Gritty reboot of Murder, She Wrote, called Cabot Cove. Set after Jessica’s death. Featuring her estranged daughter, Annika, solving serious crimes, and a sinister figure who might be Jessica’s Moriarty.

Guest stars include:

- Betty White as Columbo’s irascible widow.
- Robert Wagner reprising his role as Jonathan Hart from Hart to Hart, now an embittered divorcee.
- The Equalizer as a UKIP-voting boomer.
- Richard Dean Anderson reprising his role as a balding, shades-wearing MAGA MacGyver.

The Ember Blade by Wooding wasn't bad. I'm not normally into epic fantasy, but this was fairly gripping low fantasy.

Isle of the Mighty is an example of that tricky genre: UK setting books. Somehow they always get the tone wrong. AFAICT none of the authors were British, which leads to this Quaint Britain vibe. It's written for a US market, I guess.

I still struggle to understand Immortal: The Invisible War. I think it was an attempt to do for gods, what Masquerade did for vampires. But with psychedelic art and something about vocal cords. Possibly the gayest book I own. I love it.

I've discussed this before, but here is my copy of Diomin, possibly the worst book in my collection. Peak d20 boom. Kept purely as a warning to myself.
