Why did no one mention that there is a Vampire Survivors sequel/spinoff, and it's on Switch 2?

Only installed it so far but I can already tell this is going to be my life now.

I just got this in the mail today. She-Wolf by E.K. O’Connor. It’s a sapphic retelling of the Old English epic Beowolf.

I posted about this on Bluesky. I mentioned that it didn’t have a dust jacket, and the publisher saw it. The retail version I bought did not come with a dust jacket, but they had some leftovers from the Kickstarter campaign, and they offered to send me one. Only cost me a buck eighty. So the book has had an upgrade.

I blame Netflix for introdcing me to these. Best described as cute Anime I suppose!

The figure is one of the Quintuplets and was the only UK based one I could see. Bought via Amazon. The seller used Evri which I do seem to have problems with. It arrived two days late and the outer packaging was the worse for wear. The box inside was fine fortunately
 
Some insignificant game pickups I suppose. Pay no mind to what’s on the far left.

Granted, the holy grail isn’t in the best shape with a water-damaged manual, but I will never get over the catharsis of catching it in the wild. No eBay here!

I got more Patreon goodies in the mail today. First is a Chinese-styled centaur sticker to celebrate the Year of the Dragon and a mini-zine titled “Things that are sparking joy for me today”, both by Yamino. Yamino and her wife create the webcomic Sister Claire which I strongly recommend.

I also got these beautiful prints from Yoshi Yoshıtani. If you’re a comic book fan, they’re the artist on a couple of DC GNs: “Zatanna and the House of Secrets” written by Matthew Cody, and “I Am Not Starfire” written by Mariko Tamaki. The theme of this set is Fairy Tale Comic Pages. The stories are Turandot, The Bear King Valemon, and Little Red Riding Hood. The cards are 4x6. I need a new frame for this.

I bought a 1/72 diecast model Typhoon as a gift for my sister... she loves jets, and we recently went on a short holiday up north to Lossiemouth, where we were based right next to the RAF airbase, and watched Typhoons and Poseidons taking off and landing at all hours of the day. The Typhoons were spectacular, and they regularly took off in groups of 4; with up to 10 taking off in the space of about 20 minutes, some with afterburners, and all extremely loud!

I've always wondered why model planes are so much easier to find as kits you need to build and paint yourself, so it was great to find a supplier of high quality, ready-made diecast models - and it was delivered very quickly too. It's a good size as well - about 7"-8" in length, and came with various bits that can be added, like the landing gear - plus a very smart display stand. Of course I now want one for myself as well...

I took the above photo on my iPad with a black folder in the background, before asking ChatGPT to add a cloudy background and remove the display stand - and it's done a pretty decent job of it... 😅

I'll see you and raise with...
Damn launch trailer and Kiss From A Rose song hyping me up to pull the trigger earlier than I intended. :lol:

Oh, they knew exactly what they were doing with that.

I feel your pain. I wish I played the Lego games because I'd be all over this.

...Come to think of it, I have a free Lego game from way back. Hilariously enough, I genuinely think it's a Batman game. Maybe it's time I turn it on and see if it consumes me. :lol:

No. Don't do it!
Once you enter the Lego games, you can never escape... [evil laugh]
 
Some music purchases for my library through Bandcamp. Boards of Canada's new album which I'm hyped for, coming out May 28, Simon Meny (from Paradis which they stopped making music in 2017 :(), and a collection of Goon Trax, Hidout Productions and other Japanese hip-hop and underground conscious rappers from 2013.

What's sad is that the collection has a PDF with links asking the purchaser to support the artists that made the collection possible, but most of the links lead to websites that have had their domains purchased by random companies and individuals. The social media links are mostly dead ends as well.

It makes me wonder what the future of digital music preservation will look like when so many artists just disappear into their personal lives and companies keep the music in their collections. Makes me love Bandcamp even more.

I’ve got the BoC album on pre-order too. You purchased it on wax or digital?

Just the digital. The ship dates for the wax version were so far out I couldn't really justify it. I know resellers are going to charge a arm and a leg for them.

Have you given Prophecy At 1420 MHz a listen?

I’m staying away from the released tracks. I’m waiting on the wax to drop and then will spend a night in the dark with a cup of tea and sit and absorb it.

New purchases dropped today.

The final J-Jazz compilation from BBE Records (I still need to pick up Vol. 4).

Also the latest issue of Jazz Kissa from KAT aka Katsumasa. A fantastic series, part Photo book / Photo essay and part guide of Japans Jazz Cafes and Listening Spaces.

That's fair. I did consider that perspective when I listened to the first track. I'll hold my impressions until the release date; I'd love to share some thoughts in the audiophile thread when the album is out.

But this those Japanese jazz cafes look amazing. I'm a huge fan of Uyama Hiroto, and a few other Japanese lounge musicians. I wish I had a chance to go to Japan again.
