Feels like a missed opportunity to call it Romantisy

Our 20 month Icewind Dale campaign ended just before the dramatic final conclusion because we inadvertently took the Obelisk route. Great game

We used Sony Venice ii on my most recent Netflix job. It's the DOP and director who chooses tone and aesthetic.

Brilliant book, probably the one I found most challenging to read in the Culture series. Not just the body horror (which is there) but the depiction of war as pointless and random and indiscriminate.

This is fairly common practice in (especially tabloid) newspapers. If there's no name attributed to the article, it means the person was told to write it by an editor and doesn't want to be associated with it.

It's my worst month! But also my best.
It's my first month, is what I'm saying.

The Castle in the Valley is a fantasy novel about two friends who enter the service of a Lady.

Expect magic, romance, adventure, mystery, friendship and wit.

I wrote a literature review about SSRIs a few years ago that pointed out that they don't work the way we think they do, and naรฏvely suggested we should stop giving them out.

Thing is, they work for a lot of people, even if we don't know why. So if they don't cause harm - who cares how they work?

This is more or less the plot of Vin Diesel's 2002 film xXx
