Sometimes I want to ask a friend of mine a question that relates to their technical expertise.
And then I remember all the times they tell me how and why my question's wrong.
And I delete the question unsent.
It reminds me that I should always try to be helpful before I try to be right.

90% of arguments about realism in RPGs are actually about abstraction.

Just realised that calligraphy is literally beautiful writing.
I guess that's just been staring me in the face for decades.

Philip Pullman - The Secret Commonwealth
Feels a deliberate reaction to the caricature of Pullman as "The Atheist Writer" and it's working for me. Pretty funny that a major plot driver is Lyra getting into Ayn Rand at university. But some elements left a bad taste in my mouth.

Phillip Pullman - La Belle Sauvage
Great job of having a competent, brave adventure protagonist who is nevertheless convincingly A Child. And an evocative blend of grounded practicalities and otherworldliness.

It's nice when people laugh at my jokes.
But best is when I weave it into conversation so naturally that someone goes "really?" because they didn't realise it was a joke.

Greatly enjoying Tametsi - it's like minesweeper advanced, with entirely bespoke puzzles.
On the left you see an abomination that provides nothing but tooth-pulling agony.
But afterwards it gives you the hexagon - a beautiful three-way butterfly waiting for you to unfold its wings.

I honestly thought that skipping the "tell everyone" step would help.
It does at least alleviate some of the guilt.

I feel strongly this palate cleanser is required after the glut of Christmas films.
'Lemon Pig and the First Resolution' is the story of a brave lucky guardian venturing into a big world after being trusted with his first New Year's Resolution.
Now I just need someone to make it, please.

Robert Jackson Bennett - A Drop of Corruption
Nero Wolfe vs evil Sherlock Holmes.
A lot of moving parts. I had trouble keeping track of who half of the characters were this time and some of the finer details of the mystery. But a solid sequel that bodes well for the rest of the series.

Aposimz feels like Tsutomu Nihei was being forced to write a shounen fight manga at gunpoint.
The way he uses sparse linework to create such a stark, cold environment is amazing. But the action and characters feel so... desultory. Even the (gratuitous) nudity feels passionless. Like meeting a quota.

I don't engage with online discourse about the books/tv/films I enjoy.
But sometimes I peep.
And the majority take on what's going on in Pluribus is unhinged.

Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor - Welcome To Night Vale
Uses the trappings of uncanny horror to deliver constant garden-path horror and absurdity, while telling a story that is fundamentally very gentle and human.
But that's Night Vale in a nutshell, innit?

Robert Jackson Bennett - The Tainted Cup
Nero Wolfe-type detective duo in a land of biological modifications (foregrounded) and seasonal kaiju attacks on the sea wall (background).
Fun setup and delivers a solid mystery story and relevant setting exploration without coasting on the gimmick.

Benjamin Stevenson - Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret
Not a sequel but a holiday special, so it claims.
What stuck with me was one of the more creative (without being implausible) murder methods I've read.
