  • Nearing the end of Blood Meridian, it’s so matter of fact in its telling of brutality and how nonchalant most of the characters are with death and destruction that it’s still shocking near the end. The descriptions of the geography are excellent, and I knew enough Spanish to get through the couple places it’s used, but I had to look up a bunch of the plants and animals I didn’t recognize. Once I’m done with that I’m going back to Memories of a Lyrical Man I’m about 1/3 in and looking forward to getting back into it, sci-fi character drama time traveling adventure.




  • I’m not that excited by deep skill trees or crafting or inventory management, lately i enjoy good movement, music, exploration, and story.

    The movement in destiny 2 felt really good, similar games have it where you get momentum, dives, floating with warlock, etc. I think Titanfall 2 and borderlands 3 zane had similar really good feeling movement.

    The exploration in pre planes EverQuest was great, fast travel limited to certain classes and levels, risky but faster travel routes in kunark, groups in overworld and dungeon areas, dangerous places to get to with high reward for the risk. Elder scrolls, dark souls/elden ring, and Zelda breath of the wild had similar feelings for me.
