I also recently dove into my first few King books! Havent tried any of his short story collections yet 🤔. Fairy Tale and Carrie were definitely misses for me but 'Salems Lot...

👎: The world is definitely original but sort of bland? I was expecting the rooms to be much more different than they actually are. Sort of getting a "backrooms" vibe from this without the creepypasta.

👍: Really impressed with how well paced this rather involved plot is being unraveled in such a short book. I guessed at what was going on relatively early but the unreliable narration has still been great fun and contained some great humor at times.

FFT: War of the Lions, Crisis Core, X-Men Legends II: The Rise of Apocalypse. 🫡

Exactly! The bonding system really works well for this.

Recently beat it a month ago. The "How to Train your Dominatrix" side quest was peak. That schoolyard scene I just can't 😂

Was very underwhelmed by Hades 1. Hades 2 is surprising me with how much I am enjoying it. I just like the mechanics, story and setting WAY more than #1. I'm trying to avoid burnout by limiting myself to a few runs a day, its been working pretty well ;).

Oh man I need to return to this game! I hope my DS still works hahahaha

Unfortunately seems like it's going to be unrequited love 😭😭😭.

Father Callahan and Mark Petrie were a ton of fun to read. Callahan's crisis of faith was fascinating to follow and I can see the beginnings of King's fluency in writing children PoVs in horror through Mark.

Easy recommendation.

This map I found online helped a lot hahaha.

Read the first 8 pages last night and I'm getting some heavy old school D&D megadungeon crawl vibes which is very intriguing for a book 👀. Maybe i should crack the grid paper out for this hahaha.

It really did exceed my expectations after reading Carrie and Fairy Tale both of which I thought were pretty mediocre.
