I find it fitting that my @blpublishing.bsky.social Tales of the Weird subscription is being delivered on Friday 13th

No idea what Feb’s book is, so it’ll be an exciting surprise when I get home tonight

Used to love this board game as a kid. Dinosaurs and a lost world is always a winner for me.

Occasionally get tempted to track down an old copy

Changed my mind and decided to continue for round 4 of this sword and sorcery magazine. Mostly because of the Dying Earth issue

Not overly enjoying Nova by Samuel Delany. Some interesting ideas, but otherwise rather dull and I’m not really clicking with his writing style

Looks like more provisional additions to the SF Masterworks coming this year. Subject to change. A couple of exciting ones let down a little by the addition of a Philip K. Dick

This is very cool to see BlueSky use his art. Owen’s The Hard Switch was an excellent scifi graphic novel, so it’s great seeing his artwork taken up in this way

Also, read The Hard Switch

Nice! @odpomery.bsky.social is a brilliant artist who created the 2023 sci-fi comic book The Hard Switch (Le Jour du Dépassement, in the French edition).

He also worked on a Game of Thrones game, Tale of Crows, and his work is so cute.

Very neat choice, @bsky.app 🖖

Added Samuel Delaney to my tbr. Only read Jewels of Aptor which was rubbish, but it’s not reflective of his wider work, so going with Nova

Watching season 2 of 'Man on the Inside' and it's taken 3 episodes to realise the rich guy being targeted is in fact Bill Lumbergh.

Also, any fellow UK 'What We Do in the Shadows' fans, season 6 is finally on iplayer

Beat The Soul Master first time and made the rookie error of celebrating an unusually easy victory too early

Golden rule in video games: a boss is never dead until it’s given you its loot!

(Got him second time though)

My time completing Silksong has paid off in making my replay of Hollow Knight feel so much easier

I remember the Mantis Lords and their villagers being a really hard area, but this time it was a breeze.

It’ll be interesting to see if any other spike points are the same

I know everyone is probably having a Superb Owl party today, but here’s a random shelfie of #pulp ftom the 1930s and 1940s: Green Llama and The Black Bat

The Black Bat (a blind, disfigured crime fighting attorney..) launched at the same time as Batman. I understand words were exchanged..
