Grimdark is a stupid name for a subgenre.

No #ttrpg product needs to be more than 60 pages.

Jar Jar Binks is under-rated.

Boarding school sub-plots in coming-of-age novels (e.g. Robin Hobbs’ Soldiers son-trilogy, or Rothfuss’ The wise man’s fear) are always predictable and stereotypical.

I like Sanderson’s writing a LOT. It is so entertaining! But his public persona and the fan cult encircling him is so off-putting. Not to mention the Mormon stuff. #BrandonSanderson

@gorillotaur Man, imagine writing that any other way: "Not to mention the Jew stuff" or "Not to mention the Muslim stuff." #bigotry

@BaldProphet yes, imagine

The 1991 #TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles-movie is awesome.

Robin Hobb is one of the most important writers in contemporary fantasy literature. Her Realm of the Elderlings novels, published 1995-2017, are a stunning feat of storytelling and worldbuilding. #RobinHobb #fantasy

Terminator (1984) is the most cyberpunk-looking movie ever made.

No Final Fantasy-game has ever had a good plot. People confuse “complex” with “good” #FinalFantasy

Buying books in a brick-and-mortar bookstore is superior to online shopping in every way. #bookstores

It is a disgrace there is no Elric movie.

The #ttrpg hobby attracts a lot of weird people.

I love the parts at the beginning of genre stories before the mysterious wizard shows up or the spaceship picks up a distress call, that just describes normal everyday life in the world.

Everyone must read T Kingfisher (@ursulav). Her books are the best.

Best recent #StarWars-scene: Luke at the end of #TheMandalorian s2. The most striking illustration ever of how damn powerful Jedi are. Mando and co, known to be pretty damn tough players, don't stand a chance against those death stormtroopers. They were running for their lives etc. Luke strolls through them.

@gorillotaur Definitely! one of the top Star Wars scenes period . Was jaw dropping to see Luke show up and like that
