Computer pros know to use "send spike" to reverse the attack, then call them slugheads.

If only some kind of pattern matching utility existed...

Agreed on Bamberger - The Mill and Hashish Films would've likely been a complete miss for me if not for the notes.

Scott Nicolay, who's done the other Ray translations for Wakefield aside from Malpertuis.

Along with the premise, this art convinced me to pick up the series.

I'll have to check this out. I suspected the title is a Breton reference; per Wikipedia, it is.

Edge of the atmosphere, I assume.

We don't have *that* much space junk.

Btw, I've read your Malpertuis review and already picked it up.

Loved the eerie atmosphere he conjures, especially in the longer stories. Great translator endnotes & afterword - Wakefield maintains a high bar there.

Take that, TIOBE!

That's the one. I recall being into it at the time. Worth checking out a lets-play, at least.

It wasn't a total nobody who kills him in Kingdom Come, but that was done well IMO.

I haven't gotten far in this but enjoyed the early bit.

Did you play the RoLW ARPG?

I try to avoid connections through fluidic space.

One of the few times I've seen one say no, it was wrong.

That album is too stacked with good songs for KC to be a favorite, but I rarely skip it.

Heat is freaking amazing.

I found it quite entertaining! Planning to write an actual review once I can get my thoughts together.

Assuming "off the charts" is better than "A+++" his grades have been declining...

"Lunar Reflection" features a mystical forest scene illuminated by a swirling orb of light, reflecting the surreal and fantastical style typical of Remedios Varo's work. Against the backdrop of a starry sky, a delicate crescent moon is mirrored on a tranquil pond, inviting contemplation of the boundaries between dream and reality.
