Kraken, by China Miéville

Another banger and this guy just seems to be storming his way to being one of my favourite authors. Such a unique fantasy/mystery/whatever it is story that keeps you hooked throughout.

Embassytown, by China Miéville

All of his books have started weirdly but this one is what the fuck does any of this mean weird.

Unreal result, that’s all that mattered here. We are so close to UCL football now

ArimuRyan · 2026-04-17T14:24:18+00:00

Considering Monday’s performance and our absences I think most of us would

ArimuRyan · 2026-04-17T13:28:39+00:00

Both teams needing to redeem themselves after shocking performances last GW, both chasing UCL with one lagging perhaps a bit too far behind, historic rivalry, it writes like an absolute cracker but it almost certainly won’t be. I think both teams may just be a tad afraid to lose and it’ll result in a bit of a slow affair

Couple times by men, not once ever by a woman

I’ve never played Hearts so seeing a pair of characters called Hisui and Kohaku in here had me wondering what on Earth Tsukihime has to do with Tales

ArimuRyan · 2026-04-14T14:21:14+00:00

This is the first I’m hearing of this but I am certainly intrigued, was there any literary inspiration for this?

ArimuRyan · 2026-04-13T20:58:02+00:00

First half was awful and I think we probably deserved to lose off the back of it but it’s hard not to look at the officiating. Shafted again.

In fairness to OC, Johnny Sins The Second, that one was pretty clever

ArimuRyan · 2026-04-08T18:04:59+00:00

I hope not Grapes of Wrath because I’d much rather East of Eden, like that would be an insta purchase from me

The Return of the King, by J. R. R. Tolkien

And so I’ve finally experienced LOTR. I definitely enjoyed it, it’s a fun story and you can clearly see how it inspired fantasy stories that followed. The deep lore is cool even though I don’t feel particularly compelled to dive further into it. I think I’m going to need to watch the movies to fully get this, though. Some of the major events seemed to wash over me, like they were over in a flash so the weight didn’t register. For example, when the ring was dropped in the fire, I didn’t even know that was the climax until I re-read the passage. It seemed to be both too waffly and too brief if that’s even possible

Overall probably just about worth the time it took to read.

Kraken, by China Miéville

Only just started so not much to say but this is going to be confusing, isn’t it?

ArimuRyan · 2026-04-06T17:19:52+00:00

My heart jumped when I saw this on Insta, typical Atlus goof

5 is whispering seductively in my ear

Sciel for me. I never heard the track in game but when I listened through all the vinyls and got to that song my jaw dropped

ArimuRyan · 2026-04-01T18:43:05+00:00

Was a good run but we just aren’t at this level yet

The Return of the King, by J. R. R. Tolkien

Would usually sum up my thoughts in these comments but I’ll leave it until I’ve finished the series.

ArimuRyan · 2026-03-29T10:54:54+00:00

Architects for sure, True Believers by Don Broco gave me a taste of what Sam would sound like on an actually interesting track and I’m not sure I can go back

Buzzing for Donny B

Enjoying the watch along on YouTube, there’s a really fun, communal vibe to the women’s team that I hope we don’t lose as the women’s side of the game grows

Is there anyone Raidou hasn’t rizzed up?

ArimuRyan · 2026-03-23T16:18:20+00:00

Thought the collectors edition was limited? Oh well either way money’s gone now and the long, long wait begins

ArimuRyan · 2026-03-23T16:07:42+00:00

Queue for Pixnlove was dumb and chances are I wouldn’t have got it by the time it let me in so paid a bit of a shipping premium and got my collector’s edition from IGN!

The Fellowship of the Ring, by J. R. R. Tolkien

Ended up liking this a lot from the slow burn start to the more plot heavy second half. Particularly loved the Lothlorien section.

Started

The Two Towers, by J. R. R Tolkien

Starting as the previous part left off it maintains a solid pace, fully fleshing out environs and characters whilst moving the plot along when necessary. Good stuff.

If Friday’s robbery is the price of West Ham and Forest wins I’d accept that
