In Topic: The game I'm playing is...

Gorgeous game.
And I needed another Metroidvania game to dive into, and NINE SOLS was on sale so I grabbed it. MUCH more challenging than ORI, but a blast to learn and the story and visuals are amazing. Can't wait to get properly sunk in.
EDIT: I was gonna grab ICONOCLASTS PG, but the NINE SOLS sale was like half price so it made more sense, I'll go for ICONOCLASTS next.
Nine Sols has a hell of a story too. I didn't ultimately enjoy it that much because even with excellent difficulty options it just focuses on a type of combat that I don't find as fun. But if you dig the combat it's a good purchase.
It's funny, combat in HK at the beginning felt so hard, but by the end I felt godlike in most encounters (I had every charm and skill mind you)...while ori only challenged me with puzzles and platforming, while bosses were largely non-existent or easy, so I think that's why I went combat-heavy....and I think I wanted the challenge on "parrying" being a default requirement in NINE SOLS to switch up what I'd just played in the other two games.
The story is messed up so far....people getting turned into meat sacks when they think they get to ascend? I'm still learning, and jump parrying the Red Slash attacks is tough...but I'm liking the distance between save/rest points not being too great. -

You're in for a treat QT. I'll be rereading it myself shortly.
I accept your boos. I shall be fixing it as soon as I'm done the second War Arts Saga book, tonight or tomorrow.
Looking over Abyss's ded-thread, I saw why you put it down the last time. I'm not going to lie, the opening to this book hurts. It's really worth the heartbreak through and it's not unearned or unrewarded. Without going into specific details, Sarlis and Rant deserve to be Witnessed and keep Malazan's overall theme of compassion close to your heart.
HOLY shit, I had completely forgotten that...Huh.
I would say that 2021 was still maybe really close to COVID and the collective trauma of that event probably made it hard to get through in my entertainment space. I don't even remember getting to Chapter 4...hahah. -

Blue Jays heading to the World Series for the first time since 1993 baby!
GREAT game!
I ack slamming TO is traditional in the rest of Canada, but honestly Ottawa and large chunks of Montreal are totally on the bandwagon right now.
I turned to my wife after they clinched it and said "Man I'm kinda glad we don't live downtown Toronto anymore....because the noise would mean we would not get any sleep" LOL. Back when Bautista-Bat flip ALDS night (ten years ago now), the city was partying till like 3AM...LOL
But yeah, that bottom of the 7th 3-run go ahead homer is an ALL-TIMER....up to that point I had already accepted the loss to Seattle.
Wife's cousin was in attendance at the game and said that the cheering on that play was next level, high decibel, ear-splitting stuff of legend. -

Sacrilege!!!!!
Honestly, QT, you are missing out, it is a pure return to form Malazan book of the fabulous order!!
I grabbed it the day it came out (Always supporting the Malazan books) from a pre-order...took it to the cottage that summer for a vacay read, and got too busy with the kids and their cousins ect to read it, and it's just been languishing on my shelf since...I have no real excuse.
