That A Complete Unknown post-credit scene where George Harrison and Tom Petty show up to tease the Travelling Wilburys Cinematic Universe was fucking wild.

I’ve been helping my kid out with her gemstone/dropper art (not sure exactly what it’s called, seen different versions) and it’s surprisingly meditative. If a grown-up set with Lord of the Rings/Malazan/Stormlight style fantasy art doesn’t exist then it’d a real gap in the market!

Time to expand my algorithm beyond books to games. Here are some I’ve platinumed and enjoyed on PS5:

Dark Souls, Demon Souls, Bloodborne & Elden Ring

Nioh 2, Lords of the Fallen & Black Myth Wukong

Nier: Automota & Stellar Blade

Horizon Zero Dawn & Forbidden West

Destiny 2

The Spiderman games

My reading fell off a cliff after my kid was born, but I’m feeling like I’m about able to get back into it. Hopefully it will also encourage me to spend less time doomscrolling. Winds of Truth soon, but before that, as a warm-up, finally giving John Gwynne a go starting with The Shadow of the Gods.

Five writers of whom I’ve read five books:

Steven Erickson
Terry Pratchett
Iain M. Banks
Brandon Sanderson
Robin Hobb
