It’s not just the epic visuals of the remastered #TESOblivion that has me hooked. The gameplay is as good as it was 19 years ago. Oh to have been a fly on the wall during the design discussions around how to upgrade this classic & avoid “design creep” in adding new features, mechanics, etc

I’m new to The Dwarves series by @mahet.bsky.social and am thoroughly enjoying it (English translation). So much so, I’ve started playing the #videogame adaptation (2016) and it is super fun. What game adaptations of #books do y’all enjoy?

I came to #TheExpanse universe via the TV show. I always worry that seeing a show/film first might ruin a book. Definitely not the case here. Thoroughly enjoying this series and the novellas. What are your thoughts?

I recently hit a reading milestone. I have now read all of @refeist.bsky.social’s books! It’s been just over twenty years since I picked up Magician & I just recently read Faerie Tale. Can’t wait for the next instalment of the Dragonwar Saga to repeat this achievement 😝 #fantasy

I recently finished The Dwarves (Die Zwerge) by @mahet.bsky.social . I read the English translation, ironically while travelling in Germany. I enjoyed it quite a lot. It was good fun. I’ve got the next one, The War of the Dwarves, from the local library and am looking forward to some fun reading.

A bit of work left on this #WIP, especially on the poles. Thought this render (Evee in @blender3d.bsky.social ) was a little cool.

Just started reading this. So far, so good. It’s my first #terrypratchett book (to read, the library owns it 😜). Any #discworld fans out there?

Goodreads’ reading challenge is an interesting conundrum. Arguably, I’ve managed to get through a decent number of books this year, but I’m behind on my aspirational goal and therefore need to read 28 books this month to catch up!

My brain is full of ideas and my heart is inspired after the @zemki.bsky.social #BeyondPlay24 conference. It was a fantastic three days engaging with #GamesStudies Scholars.

Just voted yes at the Oz Embassy on the way to the Eiffel Tower! Very grateful to be able to participate in the referendum whilst abroad. Remember, a Yes vote is a vote for a better Australia. #yes23

After a (much to short) visit to Sweden, I’m back in the provinces. Thought this might be appropriate. We’re also reaching out to interview guests for the new podcast, On Rome this week! Exciting times ahead!!!

Took some time out of “touristing” to recharge through some #digitalart. This little monster was based on a tutorial by David Reed for #nomadsculpt - which I’m relatively new to but is great for travelling because it is on the #ipadpro. #3dmodeling #ipadproart
