It's time to resume my Sandman annual reading. Now moving along to Season of Mists. It's not my favorite arc, but it's a powerful one. If I have to choose the arcs I don't like that much, I believe A Game of You comes first, then Season of Mists, I don't know why.

I've been struggling with Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space for so many years... I don't know why, but I've never finished the first chapter. I don't know if it's the pace of the characters, and I do love the main theme (archaeology, space exploration, etc).

I just finished reading Batman - The Long Halloween. It is without a doubt a masterpiece. I’ve said it here before, but the duo Jeoh Loeb and Tim Sale is very very good. Sale’s drawings are very expressive and authorial. I was quite shocked by the plot twist on the last page, it was impressive. I recommend reading.

I’ve had this game for several years, but now that I’m looking at it carefully. I just finished Chapter I and I can say that it is a very engaging story. For those who are a fan of Batman Year One, this game is for you.

Despite the problems it went through, Telltale has always known how to make narrative games of exceptional quality. It’s no different here.

I’ve just finished reading
Batman: Arkham Asylum - A Serious House on Serious Earth by Grant Morrison and Dave McKean. It’s outstanding in every way, a masterpiece.

April 4. Another day in Commissioner Gordon’s old-new-life in the decrepit and corrupt Gotham City. But that will change, there is a hope, a light at the end of the tunnel. And it has bat wings.

To be honest, I never liked Discord. And now they’re doing their best to make more people disliking it.

I only learned to like Castlevania after I was 40 (when I was a kid I found the original game very difficult). Dead Cells for me is the perfect spiritual successor, even more so with the Return to Castlevania DLC. What an incredible tribute!

Cartoon of the main character of Dead Cells, a purple humanoid with a flaming head and wearing medieval armor. He extends his right hand and looks at you directly with his one eye.

This was one of my dreams during my childhood. To have a Game Gear, a Sega Genesis and a Game Boy.

It’s sad somehow that society “needs” a study to prove some obvious things. But, well, here it is.

Great episode by @pluralistic : The Majority of Censorship is Self-Censorship. It’s great to understand the implications of Hugo Awards scandal.

And it’s time to resume reading Star Wars - The New Jedi Order: Agent of Chaos I, Hero’s Trial, by James Luceno. Last year I tried to read this book at least three times, but Luceno’s unnecessary verbiage bothers me too much. It is one thing for you to pay attention to the details (and run the risk of being called verbose). Another thing is that you put several alien words and expressions that contribute nothing to the narrative. 1/4

Unfortunately we are surrounded by people who do not have a shred of critical sense and who do not know how to read. Great article by Charles Stross.

Yesterday I listened to a very interesting podcast talking about the positive parts of Threads coming to Fediverse and ActivityPub. Then today I wake up and come across a transphobic message there on Threads and now I can only think about what can go wrong with this bad romance.

I’m spending a lot of time playing Batman - The Animated Series for Game Boy. I discovered this gem just a few weeks ago. It is really great and, despite the modest graphics and sounds, it has the same spirit and mood from Warner Bros’ animated series indeed. I’ve just finished the first episode with Joker and now I’m getting ready to face Mr.Freeze and Scarecrow. THAT’S neat.

Batman nods to the camera and thumbs up.

I’m reading Star Wars Ahsoka (trying to finish my books TBR this month) and I must say I really like her. It’s an interesting character and a nice addition to SW stellar crew. But I think it’s so upsetting all this discourse of “not being a Jedi” just because she doesn’t belong to the Jedi Temple Studio 54. So, to be a Jedi you must be a member of a country club and that’s it? @bookstodon

It has been a while, but I think it’s worth asking it after so many months. What do you think of Bluesky App? And Threads? Are you still up to Mastodon?

I've just finished teaching a class on Anthropology of Food in Japan. How I like this topic, wow... it's really, really cool, being able to think about culture through the meals we eat, food production and consumption systems. As the anthropological motto says, food is good not only for eating, but also for thinking. @anthropology

I spent most of the last two days playing Star Wars Battlefront (2015 and 2017). The multiplayer experience with both is very good and these games really put the player inside the movies. It’s a shame that the Rogue One expansion for the 2015 Battlefront has no one online, because I remember that the missions were very good and immersive. Is there anyone here who plays these games on PlayStation?
