And a brand new volume out this year from Black Coat Press -- French Tales of Lost Worlds, ed. Jean-Marc Lofficier and Randy Lofficier (2026) No content listing on isfdb.org yet. www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.c...

Current game: Tunic An isometric cross between the adventuring style of old school Zelda and the difficulty of Dark Souls Loving the ambient music, but what’s very interesting is that you start with no instructions and you collect pieces of the manual as you play, unlocking skills and language

Well, the first half of Independence Day: Resurgence is one hour of life I'll never get back. I like the first film a lot. It's a fun re-envisioning of War of the Worlds. This is just a mess of bad characters, rehashed ideas and massive jumps of illogic and stupidity.

For the small gaming community on BlueSky, another game ticked off and 100% completed: Metroid Prime 4 Moments of brilliance and great boss fights offset by large boring sections of corridor walking and empty rooms. A poor story didn’t help. Visually stunning. #videogames #videogaming #metroid 🎮💙🕹️

Happy Moomin Day! I do have the newspaper comics too, but I cannot be bothered to move and get them. #booksky #Moominday #Moomins

Two more added to another Blackwells and Waterstones order. Korean cosmic horror ‘A Plagued Sea’ by Kim Bo-Young, translated by Sophie Bowman Spanish swashbuckling in the firm of Captain Alatriste by Arturo Pérez-Reverte #booksky

Last night’s #TTRPG saw us emerge stranded, surrounded by the Worm Grass. After saving an airship from flying lizards, we set off for the festival at The Castle of Darkness. We found forced joy, Soylent guests, a dimensional labyrinth and the magical locks of Vuz bound to the Rock of Eternal Despair

Sunday I get to start a new read. I’ve abandoned Riddley Walker until my head is in the right zone for it. So I’m thinking either a sci-fi novel or John Wyndham’s subterranean world story. Or maybe something random from the shelf. 🪐📚💙

My review of A Plagued Sea, Sophie Bowman's translation of Kim Bo-Young’s 역병의 바다: www.sfintranslation.com?p=17393 Korean #SFinTranslation

Almost there in Metroid Prime 4 (Switch 2)

Here it is! A collection of Gold Key Zorro comics from 1960s, including art from Alex Toth as well as the works of Howard Chaykin and Eduardo Risso. Remastered with sprayed edges!! I have much swashbuckling ahead! Including the original Zorro stories by Johnston McCulley #comicsky #booksky #zorro

Ok, read Everything Good Dies Here. You will either absolutely adore it or you won't. One of my favorites was this absurd story called "Under the Sphinx" about a fake imdb movie- it had me cackling www.sfintranslation.com?p=16837

So that's King Charles the 1 ah, 2 ah, 3 ah-ah-ah

Today I learned…

Bookmail! #booksky 🪐📚💙 ⚡️📚

It always looks so much worse when Waterstones and others pack everything individually..

Whilst my Joe Jusko covered Barsoom novels arrive later today, I may have to reinvest in Michael Whelan's covered editions too. His Gods of Mars alone is iconic to me. Buying various ERB editions are costing me a pretty penny, but well worth it to have high quality HUMAN artwork on the covers. 🪐📚💙

Michael Whelan@michaelwhelan.bsky.social · 4d ago

A real quandary for me, but I had a lot of fun with the actual execution of the work. 3/3 www.michaelwhelan.com/galleries/sy...

Not enough people follow this account. I recommend following Rachel for updates on new SF and Horror in translation, info on her magazine and just expertise on the subject in general. I guarantee you will discover a lot of new books. Tagging the #booksky 🪐📚💙 🩸📚💙 crowd.

#SFinTranslation out this month: www.sfintranslation.com?p=17353

Games night. GW2 and board games. Starting with a public raid on the Assault Knights in Battle for Lions Arch. A visually noisy game, but my squad is attacking a red clockwork robot with a big hammer. However, MY hammer is forged from the corruption of an Elder Dragon of Undeath. So it's BETTER!

Chessmen of Mars now added to my order. Debating with myself whether to just get Princess of Mars and Gods of Mars in the same edition now and be done with it. Hopefully I will win (or lose) this argument.

This afternoon is a space dinosaur afternoon I’ve decided 🪐📚💙

Sending this out to whoever needs to see it: It's okay if you read slowly, there's no great victory in being able to read quickly, everyone kind of has their own reading speed, and that's perfectly fine. I'm just really happy you're reading. I hope it gives you joy at any pace. Thank you!

I didn't think there was a Burroughs-authored Tarzan novel featuring a T. rex but, having now looked it up, yes, this cover doesn't lie.

KDS 📖 🎲 🎮@kdsbooks.bsky.social · 6d ago

Screw it again, here are the matching Tarzan books I own. Somehow I’m missing more than I thought. This is not good…!!! @edgarriceburroughs.bsky.social 🪐📚💙 #booksky

Hoping for some not-awful news this week, but for now I couldn't resist clearing some items off my wishlist. Neo Geo cartridges for my #Evercade and two Joe Jusko illustrated John Carter of Mars novels. I have not read this far into the Barsoom series yet. 🪐📚💙 #booksky

Cold… rain… what is this sorcery?

I never had any of the other D&D toys, but when my friend gave me his Fortress of Fangs when we were kids, it became one of my most played with toys. Everything from Star Wars, to Action Man, Monsters in my Pocket, Muscle Men, M.A.S.K. , wrestlers, all utilised it.
