So I did finish Nayuta (except the new game plus additional content I just don’t feel the drive to do right now; I need a break) and while my last follow-along thoughts on it were wrapped into Cold Steel… Well, there’s enough to warrant its own. And since I’m almost Read more…
“Hmm… I keep using riposte for any kind of counterattack, but I think it’s supposed to refer specifically to A) thrusts and B ) counterattacks after a parry. Maybe I should fix that…” “Hmm…” “I’m gonna pretend I didn’t see that.”
Greetings and salutations, friends! Sorry for the delay, but I’m here to finish out my read along of A Night in the Lonesome October. I wish I had a good excuse for why I’ve been absent so long, but really it’s all on me. I basically got a taste for Read more…
Alright! Another night, another chapter and back into the usual swing of one per post. I find this chapter particularly interesting from a personal experience perspective.

So I’ve explained mostly what the deal is here — I was sick last week with a stomach bug and couldn’t update — and thus I’ll keep this brief. I’m updating all of last week’s chapters tonight along with tonight’s, so just go through one by one. I’ll try to Read more…

This chapter is an exciting one because it introduces handily the main antagonist in the form of the Vicar. And I’m confident calling the Vicar the main antagonist, even for a first time reader, because his actions and attitude make it very clear he’ll be getting in the way of Read more…
So I wasn’t going to do anything like this, in large part because I don’t want to distract from A Night in the Lonesome October, but I already did most of the writing in conversation with a friend [Footnote 1] so I figured I might as well put it up Read more…
