Back to the Bloodsworn Saga! I really like these books. They have a great classic adventure vibe that's easy to settle into. Traveling, quests, lost treasure, monster fights, old gods, big battles, blood feuds. Just a good time all around.

Cover for the Hunger of the Gods by John Gwynne.

Would be cool if there was a way to hide reshares that you've already seen or just turn them off all together.

Jarrett P. @notcrucial.bsky.social · 16h

Moon content is top tier timeline cleanse content. Heck yeah.

I'm also trying to share more art and creative content, because it's genuinely the stuff I most like to see.

Jarrett P. @notcrucial.bsky.social · 16h

Yeah, I totally understand why people share and post about the horrors. It's important that stuff isn't ignored, but boy, my brain is mush and I just need one feed that isn't just putrid current events. I've been frequenting small reddit subs again. Just people talkin hobbies and sharing progress.

just gonna flood my feed with dog pics and bad jokes

Jarrett P. @notcrucial.bsky.social · 16h

I've been scrolling BS a lot less lately, and I think it's due to a lack of personal posts. It used to feel like I followed individuals and now it just feels like a news feed or horrors. I know all social media reflects the times, but man, im so tired.

Yeah, I def felt that in the remake of 2. The counter to that is the horror and fear disappear after hacking through hundreds of monsters.

Jarrett P. @notcrucial.bsky.social · 6d

Great. Now I'll be calling them Mommy Monsters in my head. JUST GREAT! lol

Jarrett P. @notcrucial.bsky.social · 6d

If there were 50% less combat encounters but the enemies were a touch more dangerous, I think combat would have stayed exciting for longer. But it's a small gripe.

Jarrett P. @notcrucial.bsky.social · 6d

Nearing the end of Silent Hill f and still really enjoying it. The narrative is very compelling and the environments are gorgeous. My only criticism is that it would be much stronger if the amount of combat encounters were reduced. I've definitely hit the "I don't want to fight anymore" point.

Sora is truly looking to be the worst thing that has ever happened to the internet. Ever. After this trash floods the feeds, I have no idea if we'll be able to uncook our online spaces.

Sonder-44 is my new project. Here's a big thread of art & info.

Part scrapbook, part narrative, part worldbuilding, Sonder-44 follows The Photographer, a photojournalist participating in the D-Day landings, finds himself suddenly transported to an alternate 1944 where time and space has broken.
