first time all year the running game looked to be a viable element of the offense, so, that helped a lot.

there’s a romhack that lets you swap kongs anywhere. it makes the game so much less of a slog.

someday, @anyaustin.bsky.social will get around to kingdom come deliverance and we’ll finally get the economic analyses of fictional medieval bohemia that the game deserves.

i'm sorry but a 2000 mustang GT is not a "historical car". i am not OK with this.

i don't know much about much, but i do know that if genndy tartakovsky says "hey i wanna make an animated film about", you stop him right there, and say "yes, how much do you need."

next up, the once and future king by t.h. white. i grabbed this while reading @levgrossman.com ‘s “the bright sword” earlier this year (which was amazing) and i’m in the mood to dive back into the arthurian thing so here we go. idk if i’ll read it in one shot or break it up into its component novels

i pushed through because it was so short even though i was never really compelled to go read what happens next, but i bet if I had this book in high school, it probably would have become a defining part of my personality. probably better off that didn't happen.

just straight pratchett style footnotes the whole way through. The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.¹ ___ 1. Oh boy here we go ok so back in the day...

seriously, every matrix movie, cyberpunk 2077, all of it, should have to start with a title card that just says "yeah so we aped our WHOLE shit from william gibson, so go read those books if this is your jam." but they probably need to put out a gen-z edition with footnotes.

stephen, in real life. @stephenmartin.io · 23/09/2025
i finished gibson's 'neuromancer'. probably the book i enjoyed the least this year, but that was mostly because it was so hard to remember every time a cyberpunk trope happened, that this was where that was all invented. basically the holy scripture of cyberpunk.

Had a 3+ hour flight today and time alone at a hotel, so... I finished Katabasis by RF Kuang (only had like 15 pages to go) and I also had plenty of time to read all of Starter Villain by @scalzi.com (who has quickly become one of my favorite authors). Both were different kinds of fantastic.

with this game you can teach them about counting to 64, too! (although probably not in that version.)

terry pratchett had this habit of writing a series of words so ridiculous that, before being written, had no business being placed in that particular order, but he did it anyway, to great success.

oh and if you haven’t already go read the dungeon crawler carl series by matt dinniman. just finished book 5, book 6 hardcover arrives in 10 days, book 7 hardcover out in september, and he’s started on book 8. these are spectacular. funny but dark and getting darker.
