    Finished The Spear Cuts Through Water -- this book is a masterpiece. No notes, wouldn't change a single thing. It gets even more playful with the meta stuff than I expected, without robbing a single iota of immersion in the core story. In fact it just reinforces the folkloric elements in a way that's very resonant as a fantasy reader, and layers more meaning into the actions of the main characters. And that core story: it stays horrifying, it stays beautiful, it stays heart-wrenching, it stays wondrous. I might be in love with this book.


    Now gonna read book 2 in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. The first was complete unapologetic popcorn, in a good way. It's not without gravity, and Carl has at least a little Dresden DNA in him that gives him backbone and keeps him motivated through the insanity, but it's mostly just a goofball tale being told well enough. I have no interest in LitRPG as a genre, but the first book really is fun and integrates the gamey conventions in a mostly palatable way. Like an RPG meets The Running Man (movie) or something.

    Yeah I'm never actually an early console adopter anyway. I've just been saving some Xmas gift cards for this in particular, as a treat. Oh well, it can wait.

    How will this affect the Switch 2?


    Actually saw an article on that today in my newsfeed:

    What will the Switch 2 cost after the Trump tariffs? Nintendo's new console is manufactured in countries under heavy tariffs from Trump.



    Aw hell nah! I am officially against this president.

    Also, thanks Mr. Lawrence for the "Story So Far" bit, it's ALWAYS helpful to us readers, I want you to know that.


    I haven't gotten to that particular series yet but this is very true. I love it.

    On further reflection, maybe not so much "jolly good" as "the whole situation sucks but I'm very glad you and yours are safe and I'm sorry to hear that people you know where impacted, but again I'm glad they are safe".

    hey mate, I know you're in a vast sandy wasteland but I hope you and yours are OK during these fires. I note some aren't that far away from you. Take care.

    Hah, western north south west. Nice. Hadn't thought of it that way.
    Sometimes us from regional New South Wales refer to NSW as Newcastle Sydney Wollongong - the main metro areas that get all the attention from govt and the media, the rest of the state being "here be dragons" as far as they are concerned. :P

    If it's all the same to you, I'd like 2022 to be very low on surprises ...
    Except the lottery-winning kind. I'd like at least a big pleasant surprise there.
