The Witcher 3 2026 DLC Release Date Leaked, Mark Your Calendars The Witcher 3 is coming back with a huge new expansion, so you might want to start that new playthrough sooner rather than later

Witcher 3 DLC coming out in 2026, will it be incorporated in the original 2015 game? How does that work, even if the game mechanics, visuals were brilliant at the time, it’s a far cry from what we are expecting in the Witcher 4 in 2027. What am I not getting though? screenrant.com/witcher-3-20...

I haven’t figured out how to dress β€˜medieval core’ yet, but the games I have locked down I think. Here’s the list again: Kingdom Come Deliverence 2, A Plague’s Tale, Dragon’s Dogma, Darkest Dungeon, a... TikTok video by Ran Ran η„Άη„Ά

Games that give 'medieval core' vibes, from most to 'this is a reach':

πŸ€ A Plague Tale (14th c. France)
πŸͺΆ Pentiment (16th c. Bavaria)
πŸ›‘οΈ Kingdom Come Deliverance II (15th c. Bohemia)
🐴 The Witcher 3 (um... medieval-ish Slavic folklore)
⚰️ Darkest Dungeon (def 19th c, but def vibes!)

I 100% agree. I also got my friend the British cover for Intermezzo last year because he hated the yellow American one πŸ˜‚ the only covers I don't like are the Anne Rice Vampire Chronicle covers (but I don't like the US ones either, the old school ones are great though!)

The cover of Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett found in my local California bookstore versus this wild, unhinged cover I found during my last trip to London. Blackwell has both options! #terrypratchett #booksky

Blackwell's, books for life and for learning Blackwell's Trading since 1879, Blackwell of Oxford is the largest academic and specialist bookseller in the UK. Fast dispatch, carefully packaged, worldwide delivery.

Unpopular opinion, I do like to give books as gifts... (mostly to force my interests on my friends and loved ones), but I at least like to grab a less common cover than what we can typically find in the US.

Great resource for this (examples in...🧡): blackwells.co.uk #booksky

Monastery of St. Blamensir Monastery of Sankt Blamensir

How much I miss the internet of the early 2000s (well, the good parts) that made me hungry to learn and discover. A friend introduced me to @neocities.org recently too, and this page still blows my mind: blamensir.neocities.org
