#EverQuest was a big deal in the earlier days of online gaming, but we can see the ripples it still sent out to games we see today. Boss Fight Books gives us another comprehensive look at this era-defining MMORPG experience. 📚

Book Thread 2026! Finished book #1: Bible Adventures. In addition to learning more about the unlicensed NES developer Color Dreams that I was only vaguely aware of, I particularly enjoyed the relevance of 1990s Christian bookstores, as a person who grew up in the 80s/90s in a Christian school.

This year I decided to finally read A Christmas Carol.
Imagine my delight learning that the Muppet adaptation's second best line delivery, "Tiny Tim, who did NOT die," comes directly from the text itself.
"NOT" is canonically in caps.
