@brendonbigley@jeffcannata@spicer After hearing your love for this type of game and this type of sci-fi on DLC, I’m so glad you’re having a great time!!
@jeffcannata As a dad, I’m also having to consider how long I make my kids sit with a game before providing them a new one to move onto, in times of “too many games” My kid is MADLY obsessed with waiting for BaldursGate3. Asked how many playthrus he’d do, “oh just one or two.” I get it, but..
@jeffcannata Morrowind was my first BGS game. I climbed on a ROOF and it blew my mind forever. No other game let me do stuff like that back then. Favorite devs. MS exclusive for Starfield means I don’t have a way to play this one yet, but someday I absolutely will…
@jeffcannata@Latienie I’m certain it’s Duiker that blind-Heboric stops in front of on the tree and can’t see; Duiker who tried to save Heboric at start & now neither of them will ever know how close they came to a reunion.
And whichever god laughed at that moment is a jerk. 😭
@Latienie@jeffcannata My sister and I have been on the phone tandem-watching your episodes late into the night and pause/unpausing to have our own little Bookclub along with you. She has a too-fancy leather journal to take notes as she reads, for us to discuss later. Loving it! #dancereading
@jeffcannata Yep, I nailed it: Duiker’s “children are dying” sentence. Right in the feels. What a line.
I dragged my sister into doing a sub-Bookclub tagging along on yours as my excuse to finally get her into Malazan. She’s taking notes, we’re up late on the phone discussing, it’s great!
@jeffcannata I was re-reading this week slightly ahead of y’all and taking guesses at your Selected Sentence. I’ve heard enough Podcast-Jeff to take some pretty good guesses at which ones hit you in the feels, be fun to see if I was close! :)
@jeffcannata Not only that, but I’ve listened to several Malazan read-thru podcasts, and you two do an AMAZING job. @Latienie is VERY good at pulling meaning out of what she’s reading and discussing it in a way that gets at the underlying themes, as do you Jeff! Loving it.
@murray_mint5@jeffcannata I think the point was more just that Apple products are FAMOUSLY expensive, and that is arguably part of what helps maintain their perceived value as quality/fashion/status items, and has certainly never stopped their success before.
@jeffcannata@Latienie (I also tend to think that it doesn’t fully open up in scope until the second book, where the author really hits their stride. and that anyone who can’t get in to the first can TOTALLY skip to the second and then catch up on the first later once they’re addicted)
@jeffcannata@Latienie YES!! I decided a couple years ago that Malazan is my favorite fantasy series ever written. It is BEYOND epic. I still barely understand what a Warren is…but that’s ok!! It’s best to let the strange world just wash over you.
@SolomonJake Wish you all the best; been loving your games for years now and best I can tell you’re a good dude too. Those are both things to be proud of, good luck with whatever is next!
@GrandArmsGame Prominent explanation of what exactly will happen is good, but it makes Retreat look like an equally viable choice; is Retreat something worth picking pretty often, or just a rarely-used just in case option to leave down in the list?
@sevard_montreal@jeffcannata I finally got around to reading it and got to the last two or three chapters of Hyperion and then misplaced my copy somewhere in my house and haven’t been able to find it for a month+. Driving me crazy!!
