Just finished it. Not a ton of action, per se. But was nice to be in Harry's world, again.
I'm getting close to the end and I'm thoroughly enjoyed it. I've only started reading the series in 2019/2020, so I've not had to wait for a new one to release in the series. It's very nice to be back in Harry's Chicago. I like it more than the last two I think.

Is Simu Liu too old to play Adolin?
Adolin is only half Alethi, so unless that part is kinda ignored, Simu Liu would also not fit the character description. :lol:
I don't think it's a bad game, but it's just mid. People tried it because it was free, thought it was mid and that's that.
Maybe people will give it a shot again in the future. Feel like the game would be served well if you do 3v3v3 instead of the giant map for 6 players.

Anyone have a good refresher video/article? Read a lot of books since the last Dresden files…

No. The title to book 19 is already known too. It’ll be called Mirror, Mirror.
Got to start over for the love of the game.
Me, no shot I’d ever play this again. I’m good.

Only 4 days until the new book. Pretty excited for it!

I’ve gone to two shows and they were both fantastic. They do such a good job with the live concerts.

I really wanted to get a new one this year, but I've got a lot of pushback when I said I wanted to get one of the higher end ones. Will probably just get a new headset and kick the can down the road again.

That's kinda neat. I have a launch 60GB PS3 that still works, but I can get nervous every time I use it that it's finally about to die. Still has all of my original PS1 FF save data. Lots of good memories there.
Any reason you picked this series over the others that he’s written?

He's not Joe, but have you tried Rob J Hayes? He's a solid Abercrombie lite.
What would you recommend from him?
ETA: Should have just kept scrolling :lol:
Thanks for the rec

Yeah, it sounds like gaming losing its luster for you is likely just a symptom of the larger issue you're describing. And like you said, it's become extremely common, unfortunately. Between social media and short form video content, people's attention spans are getting absolutely crushed. Other than a full detox, I would suggest some exposure therapy, though I wouldn't choose something that supposed to be fun, like gaming. Every day, find a long form news article about something you find at least somewhat interesting, and make yourself read it. The whole thing. You can take breaks to just sit, but you can't take a break to do anything else, and especially not to pick up your phone. Start with full fat NYT-esque articles and move into long form New Yorker-esque articles. But like I said, the most important thing is that you turn off notifications on your phone and don't pick it up. Doing so is the root cause of the issue.
I've had to do similar things. When I'm going to start a game, I completely move my phone out of my reach. Too easy to just waste what little free time I have just scrolling.
Don't really feel aged out. Just not as much time for me to play and I find myself less and less interested in newer titles. Expedition 33 is great, but most gaming time is playing older games instead.

Hopefully he can get back on track. Butcher turning into Martin/Rothfuss lite and putting out Dresden books every 5-6 years has been extremely disappointing.
He's raised the stakes so high with the last few books, I don't think he thinks that a more normal story would be ok. With how powerful he's gotten, I'm not sure there's much else to expect. It's sad but at least Butcher is making progress.
I've finished Carl 1-7, so I've moved back to the Riyria series. Hasn't been quite top level yet, but it's just so consistently good that I regret not reading this before now.

I have no idea to be truthful.
I only criticized you because what you said wasn't truthful. The PC port doesn't have secret uncensored outfits. :lol:
I didn't make it political lol
Stellar Blade is great, but this sounds like some grifting lol. The game's content is the same as what's on PS5 now. :lol:
