Rich seems to know his “Man of La Mancha.” What matter wounds to the body of a knight errant? For each time he falls, he shall rise again, and woe to the wicked! #welcometoderry

Nick Jonas portraying Paul Stanley in a biopic? I’m….intrigued.

I’m looking into starting the 3d printing hobby. Looking for rec’s for FDM rather than resin, even though I’ll be making miniatures with it. Apparently PLA+ is good enough.

I just started watching “The Four Seasons” on Netflix. I got up to the resort episode, and Colman Domingo is being so messy rn. I live for it.

I started watching “Mid-Century Modern” with Nathan Lane. Nice to see the girl hasn’t lost one ounce of Albert in 30 years.

Finally giving “Rise of the Ranger” by Philip C. Quaintrell a try. My God, has Indie Pub yielded a thousand thousand treasures for me these last two years.

Started a new book today, “White Trash Warlock” by @drslayton.bsky.social. It’s got me hooked by chapter two. Feels like “Dresden” but with an Okie twist. Nice to see someone from this state of mine come out with an instant classic. Check it out, if only for the original title choice.

I finally got around to “Watchmen: Chapter 1” on Max. I love the meta joke of Jeffrey Combs playing Moloch and having a confrontation w/Rorschach.

Library book sale. I said I wasn’t going to buy anything, and I meant it. Oops.

Tonight on the #HitPoint #JRPG #Podcast - @bakusanog.bsky.social and I are deep-diving a bunch of the JRPGs from that Sony State of Play - and MORE! Come hang out! :D youtube.com/live/YdQaW0W...

Did we all get snowed on this whole Daniel situation?

Currently listening to “We Solve Murders” by @richardosman1.bsky.social to get out of this reading slump. It’s perfect for the task. Highly recommend.

Too many to mention for me LOL

Sometimes I wish I knew what was going through publishers heads when they make decisions, this is one of those times. Because Gungho just made some pretty BAD decisions for Lunar Remastered Collection! Come with me and find out all about it! youtu.be/zpLUZWprXb8 RTs Super Appreciated!

Thanks to George Conway for posting Caroline Kennedy's letter so everyone is informed about RFK Jr. Please repost far and wide.

To celebrate the release of the special edition of The Way of Edan by @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social, each ebook in The Edan Trilogy is $0.99 on Amazon, January 26-31! Please repost!

February TBR

Two weeks until my most anticipated movie, “Love Hurts.” It’s so wonderful to see Ke Huy Quan get his acclaim.

Damn, Bob Uecker passed away. It was always a highlight of my year to rewatch “Major League,” so I will have to raise a beer in his honor next time.

Let's Gooo! techcrunch.com/2025/01/15/b...

A bunch of news just came out about the Lunar Collection, some good, some bad, and some just straight up concerning, so what exactly is going on here? Lets get to the bottom of this. RTs Super Appreciated! youtu.be/6fCUYwd_kO8

I know I’m a bad author before I even begin when I take stock of the ideas I’ve had rattling around for a while and realize how close certain elements skew towards more popular and prolific wordsmiths.

I’m sure there are those who would disagree with me, but I’m truly amazed by every episode I’ve seen of #creaturecommandos.

I closed out 2024 with “Night of Knives,” and began 2025 with “The Fall.” This will be a great year.

I've heard that Esslemont is easier to read than Erikson, so maybe my plan to start (third time lucky) my foray into "Malazan" with his Night of Knives rather than his companion's Gardens of the Moon will be the sufficient kick up the ass I require. Three chapters in, I'm eager for more.

@jamesgunn.bsky.social and crew knocked another one out of the park with this week’s ep of #creaturecommandos. Sean gets those good, sympathetic parts that draw you in with such a limited amount of time to do it.

Another enticing one from Master Hayes, tempting me to break my TBR before it’s even begun to unfold. Not today, Satan.

A game everyone should play at least once in their lifetime.

I’m putting my New Year resolutions out there now, with two weeks to go, so that my faithful chums out there can keep me honest. 1) get the podcast going. May need insight into using audacity and getting album art. 2) get back to writing, even if the plane walking aspect seems like someone else.

Check out the adult-animated beginnings of the DCU tomorrow with another monstrously beautiful episode of #CreatureCommandos - in fact, it’s my favorite episode yet! I love this one so much. And of course that also means the Official Playlist is updated w/ new songs. open.spotify.com/playlist/16S...

Unless I factor in for novellas in “The Bound and the Broken,” 2025 looks like a 48 book year for me. Doesn’t sound like much until you think of 11 of those being “Malazan,” 6 “Wars of Light and Shadow,” and all four (excepting novellas) “Bound and the Broken.”

If a person was to start “Malazan,” hopefully for good this time, would it be best to read things in publication order or give in to their neurodivergent tendencies and go plot order (Gardens of the Moon to Memories of Ice, then back to Deadhouse Gates…)?

Slight change up to my list of start/restart books: I’m swapping out “The Wheel of Time” for “The Wars of Light & Shadow” by @jannywurts.bsky.social . I’ve collected four of these books and put it off for a couple years now. 2025 is when I pull the trigger.

I’m thankful for many things this year, but as always, I’m most thankful for my kiddos and the love of a good woman who helps me expand the bookish hoard. Del Rey versions of the Demonwars saga by R.A. Salvatore. The “special preview” is Silent Blade from 1998! Thanks @unhingedstoner.bsky.social

Okay, jrpg enthusiasts, I have a question of direst importance: if I have the money to get one gave for Black Friday sales prices, do I go for Persona 3 Reload or Star Ocean Second Story R?

I introduced my boys to Zaxby’s and helped a colleague’s kid discover new anime. Yes, a banner day for sure.

@bakusanog.bsky.social and I will be streaming the #HitPoint #JRPG #Podcast Tonight instead of Sunday! This time, deep-dive discussing What Sony's Sights on Kadokawa Means for JRPG Fans. See you there in a couple hours! :)

Good luck, everyone!

Audiobooks count as reading. Audiobooks count as reading. Audiobooks count as reading. Audiobooks count as reading. Audiobooks count as reading. Audiobooks count as reading. Audiobooks count as reading.

If Viking Fantasy is your thing, add this to the lineup. “Beowulf,” “The Bloodsworn Saga” and these are the cream of the crop you always hear about.

Check these books out ASAP.

Criminally underrated genuinely great games that have released not too long ago: Please give these games a shot.

Get on this sale, reader fam. I had the distinct PLEASURE of reading through "The Revenge of Thousands" and "Isla's Reach," and I highly recommend those to you. I scanned through the other offerings in this sale, and it's lucky for me that today was payday.

Okay reader fam, what is your TBR goals for 2025? I have two lists to get through, first of which is the series I am returning to.🧵 Darkblade by @andypeloquinauthor.bsky.social The Lot Lands by Jonathan French The Greatcoats by @decastell.bsky.social The War Eternal by @robjhayes.bsky.social

Absolutely gorgeous. The Broken Binding is one of those services for the book dragon in us all. One day, I will get on their subscriber list.

it's always so fun when you finish an indie book and get to start another one :D

Forgetting your headphones at home is the modern equivalent of leaving your sword behind in medieval times.
