Just finished the Many Deaths of the Black Company. Next book kind of in line is Port of Shadows, that was kinda tough to track down, had to resort to ebay, which doesn't have the best track record of delivering shit.

But beyond that, there's supposed to be one more book, nobody but Cook probably knows when, and he's an old guy, so it might never actually happen.

Either way, my time in this world I've enjoyed so immensely over the past year or so is drawing to a close it feels like. They were great stories and I guess I'll always be able to come back to them, but it'll be like looking at a photo album of some big event instead of living trough it as it happened.

This always happens when I finish a book/series of books and it always kinda hurts, it's generally a good thing because you know the work touched you in some way, but it's still not fun to go trough it. Especially since I've been a bit more aware of my emotions lately I guess? And some other stuff that happened too is not helping too much ( generally positive changes, but they have me reflecting on my own flaws and demons in turn)

I'm rambling at this point, might turn into more than a mild upset it feels like, anyways, the Black Company books are damn good stuff, go read them if you get the chance.

The other day a friend suggested the First Law books from Abercombe, taking up his suggestion I went and found a boxed set on bookdepository, wasn't too expensive so I went heck it, I'm getting near the end of the Black Company books so I might as well started one something new. Ordered the set on thursday, today I get an e-mail from them informing me they're having a big week long sale on a bunch of things. Wanna guess which set of books is at about 50% off compared to what I paid for? With discounts on other stuff as well I could've bought another 3 books for the same money

Never head of that shit either, tho we never did care much about the various celestial events in these parts, maybe the perseid showers but that's about it.

One similar thing tho is that a surprising amount of folks around here think that mortadella is made with horse meat because mortadella actually means dead horse in italian (pretty sure it doesn't). I remember being told this as a fact many times over the years by my parents, only recently did I actually look the thing up and see how utterly wrong that is. When I told them this they were kinda stumped and didn't really buy it, claiming that it must have some horse in it or something, otherwise why would it be called dead horse :V

Eskimo Callboy - Hypa Hypa

German Eurobeat Metal? Don't mind if I do.

Eh, looks fine, also didn't they say Cathay will get cav of some sort, but it'll something like peasants for Bretonnia and generally shit in combat.

Also the delay was pretty much inevitable, the game was due in less than a month and we've barely seen 2 factions so far, they would've been hyping shit up way more if they were planning to release it anytime soon.

Either way, cool stuff, not too bothered with the wait since there's a shitton of other stuff in my backlog, plus WH2 is still fun to fire up from time to time and I still haven't touched a number of factions/lords.

Shang-Chi is also pretty good. Has some problems but it's a pretty good popcorn flick.

Some great setpieces and action scenes.

Also way way better than the shitshow that was Black Widow.

Huh, those are fairly common here, but as balcony doors only, also almost all windows have that feature. Never seen one that wasn't a full glass type of deal.
