    What Are You Reading or Listening To?

    I was at my in-laws so I ripped through Grendel by John Gardner. The philosophical nature of it blended well with the wine I was drinking all weekend. 
     

    The Shootist by Glendon Swarthout is up there with my favorite westerns. I think the best westerns are the ones that attempt to reckon with the violence of American history. From the brutal, visceral descriptions of what a bullet does to a body, to the way our culture celebrates violence, this is a great one.

    I watched too many things since my update so I’ll just post a few. 
     

    I finally watched Infernal Affairs and it rips. I’m not sure if I like it more than The Departed, but I definitely prefer the ending to the original. I’ll be watching the rest of the trilogy, though I heard they aren’t as good as the first. 
     

    I also watched Peeping Tom, a great thriller from the early 60s. If you want something that breeds the creepy voyeurism of Rear Window and the psychosexual vibes of Psycho, Peeping Tom is your movie.

    Ys 8 is the best, but it's also the beefiest. Most of the games can be beaten in 20 hours max. Ys 8 takes like 50+ hours. I would recommend starting with Ys 7 or Memories of Celceta to see if you like it. Oath in Felghana is the only one that I think is actively shitty, the rest are fun. But I wouldn't start with Origin, I&II Chronicles, or Ys 6. Make sure you like the gameplay format before you dive into those. The games kind of play like a super fast-paced Secret of Mana. The bosses in the earlier games pretty much turn into bullet hell, and they can be super hard.

     

    Also the games don't really have much connecting plot. Some characters show up in multiple games, but it's not a big deal. The general premise is "Adol gets into some shit," you don't need any backstory. There is a technical chronological order, but it really doesn't matter.

     

     

    It's honestly one of my favorite franchises. I haven't finished 9, but I've played every other game. Some of the earlier ones can be really, really hard, so be aware of that. If you want to jump into the series, I would recommend starting with Ys 7 or Memories of Celceta. They're relatively short (20 hours or so) and will give you a good idea of the gameplay. Ys 8 and 9 are much bigger.

     

    Also the series has the absolute sickest music. Ys 8 might have my favorite JRPG soundtrack of all time.

    They were on sale so I bought Ys 8 and have been playing it all weekend. It freaking rocks. I love it so far.

    The problem with Trump is he is dumb and has mental issues AND he is a huge piece of shit that can’t shut the fuck up. I feel like Biden whether successful or not genuinely loves the country at the very least whereas Trump is all about trying to actively destroy the country.

    Trump would send every single member of his family to the firing squad if he thought it would earn him a single iota of more adoration.
