Fuck it then. For another pit sandwich and some 'tater salad, I'll post a few more.



If you can figure out how to change the default font, not only will it preserve your own sanity, but also my poor old man eyes.

I don't know how far I got into the game, but the next part is the last that I remember. And boy, did I have impressions of that impressive untwist even at the time.

Reading Dune Messiah and Children of Dune feels very strongly like a fever dream nine times out of ten when two characters are talking and one of them isn't Stilgar. I greatly appreciate Stilgar for being the one person who in those two books who can speak without having it be some bizarre metaphor or riddle that made sense only to Frank Herbert's LSD-riddled brain.
Man, you should try parsing the dialog and character motivations in The Dossadi Experiment.

but...man, there sure seems to be a lot less narrative and damned if I am retaining almost any of what there.

Hah, someone else read that thing? That book was goddamn weird.
I think I stopped about halfway through, assuming it's either aimed at someone with a different cultural background or was a sequel to a book I haven't read.

My memory isn't that great, but I rarely get false memories, even of fairly inconsequential nonsense.

I recollected the game wasting a lot of time with the doomed bunch of guards following William around, biding time until their inevitable demise - but I completely forgot the goblins etc. Thought they actually captured Bear (for some nefarious scheme of his) and were taking him back to Krondor for most of the chapter (possibly an errant memory of the surviving merc?).

Odd. Guess this game is exceptionally unmemorable.
