I've been playing Baldur's Gate 3 (of course) on my son's Steamdeck and it's friggin awesome.

I've also gone back to playing Neptune's Pride over at np4.ironhelmet.com. Highly recommended multiplayer space game. I just finished a 64-player game and it was a blast.

I've been kind of addicted to Tesseract's last album War of Being lately. It's just so good. Legion is one of the best songs:

Upcoming concerts for me:

- 18 September: Haken
- 24 November: Dream Theater
And planning to get tickets for Steven Wilson on 22 May 25

I read Liu Cixin's Remembrance of Earths Past trilogy (which includes the Three Body Problem). The first two books are OK, but I completely lost interest during the third. It was too large scale and impersonal for my taste and his main characters, especially in the last book, were bland and unintere...

I just finished Adrian Tchaikovsky's City of Last Chances and started on the follow-up House of Open Wounds. He's just so good.

Just finished Terrible Worlds: Revolutions by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Contains his three novellas Ironclads, Firewalkers and Ogres. Reccommended as always. Have now started on The Bone Ships by R.J. Barker.

Did a quick reread of Murderbot 1 and 2, have now started on Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. Interesting so far.

Now reading Translation State by Ann Leckie, but I did reread the three Ancillary books first

Note to self: do the research next time. After finishing this book I learned that Rothfuss is pulling a GRRM.

Currently in The Name of the Wind . I think I'd like to reread the full Malazan series sometime, but it's just so many pages . I did MoI a couple of months ago and I sort of remember what happens at the end, but all those books in the middle....no idea. I am thinking of incorporating Icarium and Map...

I managed to get a ticket for Queens of the Stone Age in November! Also have tickets for Soen (October) and Tesseract (February). And in August I'm taking my 13 yo daughter to see a Dutch singing duo called Suzan & Freek. Not really my thing but she likes it and it'll be fun going to a concert w...

Currently reading To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini

Finished the Second Chrons and now I'm off Donaldson for a while. White Gold Wielder is mostly 'moping while travelling' and it started to annoy me big time. Both the midgame boss fight and endgame boss fight are properly satisfying, but everything in felt repetitive. Also, I now want to read a book...

My daughter turns 13 today!

Yeah the Gap is also pretty unrelenting, I think is the proper term.

Currently on The Expert System's Brother by my other fav author, Adrian Tchaikovsky.

The new Zelda game on the Switch. It's pretty neat again.

In the mean time, I've finished a complete re-read of the First Chonicles. I'd forgotten how brutal it can be at times. I already put the second chrons on my ereader so I'll probably re-read them too. This is also the third time I paid for them

Started a spontaneous reread of Lord Foul's Bane.

In the meantime, I've read Nnedi Okorafor's Remote Control and am now halfway Braking Day by Adam Oyebanji.

Currently in Eyes of the Void , the second book in Adrian Tchaikovsky's Final Architecture trilogy. As always, he doesn't disappoint. Sheesh I finished this one, hoping to immediately continue with part 3, only to find out it won't come out until the end of April. I thought it'd already been publis...
