I have to remind myself daily.

The Atlantic Ocean should be renamed Wet Ham United

"An IT whiz at the Babylon Casino is enlisted to upgrade security for the game of keno and its random-number generator. The new quantum computer system is foolproof. But someone on the inside is no fool." Short but shit. #booksky #scifi #heist

Ass Assin's Creed #politics #midterms

"Imagine you’ve woken up in an unfamiliar room with no memory of who you are, how you got there, or where you were before. All you have is your caretaker's voice. She’ll make sure you reclaim your lost identity." Too long for what it is, too obfuscating for no good reason. #booksky #scifi

"When Sam’s wife first tells him about Vitek, a twenty-first-century fertility lab, he sees it as the natural next step in trying to help their future child get a leg up in a competitive world." Nature or nurture? Neither. Innovative or exciting? Neither. Genetic or generic? Both. #booksky #scifi

Céline and Julie Go Boating For Tax Purposes

"An explorer returns to gather information from a climate-ravaged Earth that his ancestors, and others among the planet’s finest, fled centuries ago." If this story were a Culture ship, it would be called 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘶𝘣𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘕𝘶𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘥. #booksky #scifi

War is, here, even more than usual, hell, and it will break your heart constantly. We get to know Galva, the death-worshipping murderbird knight from 'The Blacktongue Thief ', and understand her much more deeply. Volume 2 (or 0) of one of the best #fantasy series this century. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #booksky

Yup #tv #taskmaster

Conan O'Brien Must Go #tv

"When the alien Mimics invade, Keiji Kiriya is one of many recruits shoved into battle armor and sent out to kill. Keiji dies on the battlefield, only to be reborn each morning to fight and die again." Time-looping that sweet progression to kick all the alien ass with elite skillz. #booksky #scifi

What is the top Canadian excuse for not engaging in oral sex and trading insults?

I hoped it would get me in the mood for #Witcher 3 Remastered, but this was just a jumble of tutorial quests in the prequel DLC nobody asked for, interspersed with old-timey correspondence instead of structure. Easily the worst entry in the series. Not even for completionists. ⭐ #booksky #fantasy

If you liked The Happiness of the Katakuris, you'll love The Sadness of the Ayoades #tv #taskmaster

Same here, M'Benga. #tv #startrek #strangenewworlds

"There are just 77 days to go before a deadly asteroid collides with Earth, and Detective Palace is out of a job." The last pretenses of civilization are stripped away in this one, rudely and fast, but Hank still clings to his ideals and tries to do good when there's no hope #booksky #crime #scifi

Let's give this DC cinematic universe a try #filmsky

"When the family learns that an old fakir has enchanted the mummified paw that grants three wishes, they still treat it lightly. But the workings of the paw, once set in motion, cannot be undone, no matter what they try." Freaky Nikki's origin story #booksky #classic #horror #shortstory

"Armies have risen, the machines of war are prepared, but no battle plan survives first contact with witches." Vol. 5: HurryUpAndWaitbound A tale of two parts: the very uninteresting one and the megabattle with schemes within schemes, some closures, and some table-setting #booksky #litrpg #isekai

It'll be interesting to see how people will adjust to chainsaws and ablative armour.
