Beautiful statue I saw outside

Finished Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino, it's a nice short read. The way it fears how words kill the abstract and the horror of infinite roads never traveled (the should've could've would'ves) through eulogies is great. Choosing negative space for the large fonts really stands out to me.

I like jumping into media blind so when checking out Insectopolis, I was surprised to take home a 1x1 ft graphic novel! The art is great and I appreciate the balance of care & fatalism. Some dialogue felt a bit hokey but the book's focus was science non-fiction so no huge deal. Here is a good panel:

Finally played Idols of Ash, really fun movement and a cool small scope idea. I've learned I would rather pulp myself on the ground 50 times than get caught by a giant centipede.

Finished The Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis by Jose Saramago, I enjoyed it! I got used to his style quickly, though I am sad the eng loc softened it. I like how insulated the stream of consciousness prose feels, and it's pretty neat to use a poet's heteronym as a vehicle for multiple analogies.

Tsai Ming-liang's The Wayward Cloud has such an interesting flavor. It's a surrealist-dry comedy-drama-erotica-musical, which you'd think "that's a lot of genres!" but the film purposefully uses it to club the viewer's head over and over. It's blended so well & the ending was a perfect bow on top.

This template popped up in a server so I thought it'd be fun to try. Here's a few games I think are neat and don't often see mentioned. (STRAFTAT and Devil Daggers are borderline cheating but I recommend them too much not to include)
