Dec. 23rd, 2018 11:04 am Current media round-up:
• Finished the four seasons of Killjoys that exist! (And keep typing Killyjoys.) Season 3 won me back over where season 2 had wobbled a little, and then season 4 was ridiculous but ridiculous in ways I couldn't help but thrive upon. Looking forward to the grand finale next year.
• Read the first Murderbot book and started on the second. It has a lot of elements I like, but the echoes of Raksura ring very strongly and I'm struggling not to constantly draw comparisons. Obviously there are plenty of writers who just write the same book over and over and I've found many of them enjoyable nonetheless, but. Hm.
• ...got bored with Skyrim again. LOOK, if every second quest wasn't twenty minutes of dungeon-diving that'd be one thing, but it is and it's not my favourite kind of RPG anyway and meh.
• Instead, I've turned to my favourite kind of RPG company and picked up Tyranny, since the whole package was on sale for cheaper than base-game Pillars of Eternity: Deadfire. (One day, my love...) It's very PoE in its mechanics with an unusual plot - your character is an enforcer for an evil conquering overlord! - so I'm enjoying myself already.
