The academic and publishing landscapes have changed a lot since we started this magazine. We've stuck to the same principles we started with:

History is for everyone.

Every way of doing history is worthwhile.

Historians should be paid for their work.

How I arrived on Bluesky:

Next time: the archaeology of the lands between!

Tremendous time chatting about inspirations and big questions!

He suddenly seemed larger and heavier, his shadow moving and elongating with fury. He let his temper linger, the terrible growl rolling deep in his throat. There were other sounds, crepitations like thin ice creeping over a windowpane. It gave way to a hiss, and the shadows seeped up from his neck.

Yep. Whenever I see people saying, "I only use it for spell-check", I always say, "Congratulations, your work is now theirs." DO IT THE HARD WAY OR NOT AT ALL.

I'm not terribly keen on RDR2 either, but there seems to be a lot of crossover with the Witcher 3 crowd.

I would recommend older games too, like Fable 3, if you haven't played it.

One comment about Elden Ring: the game is very malleable. If you don't want to do any of the boss fights, the game is designed in such a way that you can actually skip 90% of them if you want to.
If you like Torment, maybe Diablo 2 Resurrected?

Also not sure if you've tried Breath of the Wild/ Tears of the Kingdom, but those are great if you want to help people find chickens but also have an open fantasy area to putter around in. If you want a tighter experience, Ghost of Tsushima or Horizon or Red Dead Redemption 2 are also great.

Maybe Kingdom Come Deliverance then? More Witcher, but with more history in but first-person camera, and the story is quite good.

If it's a timing/seeing tonnes of numbers thing, those settings can be adjusted, but it depends on your comfort level and how invested you are in the story and the sheer amount of choices. Have you tried Elden Ring? I have friends who are not into Souls games who loved it (I've played it twice).

I follow up with: I know people who do not like JRPGs who have played and liked it.

You might really like the story and the world, especially if you like Torment. The combat is turn-based with a bit of QTE, not CRPG pause and play style. I still say give it a go, but you might enjoy Baldur's Gate 3 if you haven't tried it yet (though I think you have)
