Unfortunately not a lot going on at the moment, which is mildly frustrating.
I've been playing a lot of genesis mud, doing bits of writing for Erion, and continuing to read through jo abercrombie.

annoyingly the website where I post book reviews has been hacked, and I'm really hoping it comes back up soon, either that or I can muster the energy to learn markup and setup my own blog, though it would be better on an established site with an existing readership, which is wy I really hope fantasybookreview.co.uk sorts itself out, since I do like writing book reviews and articles.

Also had a go at some of my own fiction, though motivation is difficult when the publishing industry is composed entirely of scumbags!

With my lady's sister very ill, my brother equally ill, cold war continuing with my parents, someone else we know with covid and someone else suffering really severe cancer, 2022 seems to be continuing the general crappiness of 2021 and 2020, which is not good, but hay.

Hopefully other people are having a slightly less crappy year thus far.

I am planning on saving up to pick up the sonos beam gen 2 sound bar for my tv next month.

Nothing really eventful as well. My birthday is in 11 days from now. Other than that trying to survive

Sadly my dream recall isn't anywhere near what it once was. I've been trying to fix that with dream journaling, but quite often I end up having to write entries like... vague memories of a conversation, possible experiment? Because that's all my brain has decided to retain. Hopefully this will sort itself out with time.

@9:
I believe they were talking about the site provided by Dark in the second post.

@Dark: Swordy quest? I tried that one when it came out but quickly got bored with it.

I hate the modern trend of remaking every single thing under the sun because why not? As well. So much wasted potential that could instead be spent on creating new, original content. Disney are especially guilty for doing this.

That's not really a remake though. At best it's a slight increase in resolution, but most of us are too blind to care about that.

@16 true, I can see the difference and I have people who do tend to watch movies at my house when they  come here too

@19 At the end of the day, I think it's a question of what film studios want their films to be.
Now, it looks like especially Disney just makes stuff for easy money and not to create long-lasting art that's memorable. Because just ask yourself (and this can be applied to not only films): What will people who are kids now (I partially include myself since I am turning 20 in roughly a month) look back to in 30 years?
Let's take Star Wars as an example:
There is the sequel trilogy (episodes 7, 8 and 9) to look back to. Those are really nothing that many people will have fond memories off.
Then there are Solo: a star wars story and rogue one: a star wars story. To be fair, rogue one is kind of memorable, but solo is nothing worth looking back to either.
And then we have all the originals like the bad batch, the last season of clone wars (I think that's a disney+ original), the mandalorian, the book of Boba Fet and all the other originals Disney might coe up with in the future. You are excluded from all of those when you don't pay for Disney+. So star wars fans of today will have no content that was put out in their time (sure, the clone wars stuff, rebels, etc.) to look back to which is kinda sad.
On the topic of Disney+, I want to bring up another point:
Imagine this:

30 years from now, three friends (a netflix subscriber, a disney+ subscriber and an amazon prime subscriber) get together to talk about old times (you could say that I forgot to mention Sky but honestly who cares about original content from Sky?).
So these three people (we'll assume that they only subscribed to one subscription service) will not be able to talk about their favourite series together (if they were originals).
The Netflix subscriber might say: "Oh man, money heist was an awesome series back in the day!". And the others will say "What the hell are you talking about?", because they never watched it.
This, I think, is kind of sad as people will have less and less common memories.

Note: Now you could say that people are subscribing to multiple services, but I think if the prices for subscriptions will continue rising like this (and people want to stay on the fully legal side), they won't be able to afford much more than one of them.

I hope I was able to make my point clear even though this post is probabbly four times longer than it would need to be.
