  1. I’m finally reading Mistborn. I’ve had this thing on my Kindle for forever, but apparently when I bought I only read the first couple pages (I don’t remember that, but Amazon never forgets). The dumb thing that finally got me to read it was I saw a copy displayed at my local bookstore with one of those little employee recommendation cards under it that just said “Ocean’s 11 but robbing Sauron” and I had never been so quickly sold on a book (that I already owned :blush:).

    It’s a cliche at this point to say it, but Death Stranding is the perfect podcast game. 90% of the time, a pleasant amount of fuck all happens, then you need to engage for only a small portion. 

    That is part of what helped the game click for me this time. In between the batshit crazy story/lore dumps, I can just have a podcast playing in one ear as I trudge across the wasteland (pausing for occasional Low Roar song)

    Has anyone who says that the want to adapt Blood Meridian actually read the book?!?!

     

    Because anyone who has read the book knows that there's absolutely no way in hell that it's adaptable.

    But it’s a book I’ve heard of, so therefore it’s a valuable brand that can can be exploited.

    Let me give an analogy. It would have looked dumb as shit if in the LOTR movies Arwen was running around in a bikini. Fantastical settings doesn't mean unserious in this way.

    It only would’ve looked dumb if she was the only one. But what if Middle Earth was a place where everyone wears bikinis? Then she would look normal!
