Estoy leyendo 'Aprendiz de asesino', y además de señalar su prosa, me parece bastante interesante el tratamiento que Hobb hace de la depresión en el contexto de una fantasía estructurada en torno a "lo masculino". En cierto momento del principio, el muchacho protagonista sufre una desazón... (1/4)

Cada vez más emocionada con mi GOTY.

This is now NEXT WEEK. Like, a week from today. Like, from Tuesday, people who *didn’t* preorder the book can just walk into places & find it maybe. (You can still preorder though!)

In order to be a TRUE immersive sim it has to have: open spaces, reactive interactions, stacking boxes, crawling through air vents, hacking mini-games, 0451, bad combat and the worst political opinion you've ever heard.

From a high ridge at sunrise, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli can see the Orcs, perhaps twelve leagues away on the plain. To the south they see the White Mountains of Gondor. ‘Gondor! Gondor, between the Mountains and the Sea! West Wind blew there; the light upon the Silver Tree…’

In 1970, John Boorman of Zardoz fame wrote a film treatment of LotR. It is a STINKER of a film, although there are some legitimately interesting ideas tucked into it. I read it so you won't have to! A🧵 of the best and worst pieces of John Boorman's LORD OF THE RINGS SCREENPLAY.

Sam leaps for the boat that he sees slipping by itself into the water, but misses and falls into the lake. Frodo pulls him out and takes off the Ring. ‘Of all the confounded nuisances you are the worst, Sam!’ ‘Oh, Mr. Frodo, that’s hard! That’s hard, trying to go without me.’

Hoy, 24 de febrero, es el aniversario de la muerte de Octavia E. Butler (1947 - 2006) Su literatura parece más pertinente que nunca.

Feliz 24 de febrero, agentes especiales.

Some may claim racism has no place in science fiction, but sadly SF has a long history of enabling fascist worldbuilding That's why you need to read @jordanscarroll.bsky.social's "Speculative Whiteness," a first-rate takedown of racist subtext in sci-fi Blog: hugoclub.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-...

Cualquiera que haya leído a Cervantes y su afecto comprensivo por los presos, los islámicos, los judíos conversos, las mujeres de "mala nota" y todas las variaciones del enamoramiento sabe que el WOKE es una etiqueta de moda para la lucha de siempre: la de la regresión contra la tolerancia.

Second and final season of PANTHEON (based on short stories by @kyliu99.bsky.social) is now released! This is a wonderful animated show that is actual science fiction rather than just an action series with some robots or lasers in it. Highly recommended! Both seasons are now at Netflix.

I just learned there’s a Kirby version of One Night Werewolf (a simplified take on the famous Werewolf/Mafia party game). It looks pretty cool! en.ensky.co.jp/item/18070.h...

"Poetry is a form where you get to explore the unexpected and the unreal, to imagine the myriad pasts and futures of our world, but you also get to use its brevity and its strong formal quality as a place to play with sound and language and rhythm" — B.
