Critical Role

settiaiI'm starting to think that I'm never going to get caught up with Critical Role. 🙃
This is why I have to stay up until 2-3am on Thursday nights, no matter how much I need sleep. If I miss an episode, it sets me back for months. Every time. I should know this by now, because it happens every time I skip an episode.
I'm currently three episodes behind, although it will be four episodes by tomorrow because there's no physical way possible for me to catch up before then since three episodes + three Cooldown is about eleven hours. I really need to find the time to catch up. It's just so hard since I can't do anything else while I'm watching, since it's not possible for me to multitask while watching something new-to-me. I have to pay attention and constantly read the subtitles, or I miss what's going on.
It's one thing to set aside four(ish) hours late on a Thrusday night when I'm already tired and don't have the spoons to do much of anything already. It's something else entirely to find four hours to set aside when I have so many other things that I need to get done.

I'm not quite as obsessed with HR as this makes me sound...it really just worked out this way...

more book stuff
Feb. 4th, 2026 04:50 pmseekingferretI did the other post on its own because I am kinda proud. I read all of the then extant Hugo winners when I was in college and had access to the NYU library for some of the more hard to source titles. I haven't entirely kept up since then, so when I was at Worldcon last summer I was inspired to read all the ones from the last decade I hadn't read. I don't think I was surprised by my response to any of the books I had missed: Nettle and Bone and Network Effect were fine but not entirely my thing, the Teixcalaan books were tremendous but required a lot of focus and attention. I've already written about Some Desperate Glory and The Tainted Cup in the last six months.
A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine
It's very satisfying, the moments that suggest that I am not merely a reader, but a competent reader. The moment when Eight Antidote sneaks into the Ministry of War, I said, "I have never seen a more Cyteen-coded moment in anything I have ever read," and I googled it and found "
Also, everyone knows that Eight Antidote is my version of Ari Emory II, right? :".
Fer-de-lance by Rex Stout
Re-read, the first in the Nero Wolfe series, inspired by my enjoyment of The Tainted Cup. The book's introduction notes, and I agree, that it's a fascinating start to the series because so many serial elements are already in place and presented as established conditions: Archie has been working for and living with Wolfe for seven years already, Wolfe's staff and many of the consultants he periodically hires are maybe not fully realized as characters but are already present. I'm pretty sure when I previously read Fer-de-lance, I assumed it was a middle book in the series rather than Book 1.
What does make this distinctively the first book is its early 1930s vibes. The Depression is still lingering for the poorer and more economically vulnerable, Prohibition is a recent memory (Wolfe is trying out all of the newly available beers, in a hilariously unnecessary subplot that I kept wondering whether it would dovetail, Sue Grafton-style, with the main mystery), and Archie talks like Sam Spade sometimes. Later Nero Wolfe books, as I recall, adapt to post-war culture in many ways.
The Archie/Wolfe dynamic is so much fun from the get-go. Archie is basically competent on his own, and Wolfe affords him a lot of autonomy, but Stout knows that when Archie freelances a little too much he'll always run into trouble that requires Wolfe to bail him out. It's the glue that makes these mysteries distinctive, that the plot will always be complicated by Archie's mistakes and misunderstandings as well as the cleverness of the antagonist. That, moreso than the gimmick of Wolfe solving the mysteries from the comfort of his townhouse, is why I love these stories.
I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston
I was reading and I thought, oh, cute, a queer take on John Green's Paper Towns, with a mysterious high school classmate of the main character disappearing and leaving a treasure hunt behind, and that was all well and good, I like that sort of Konigsbergian puzzle story, but it was not super-challenging as a read. Then I got to the resolution of the Paper Towns-style quest and... there was about a third of the book left. And I was like, what's going on? Is there going to be a Scouring of the Shire? And there was! And it involved a whole bunch of temporary queer found family ganging together to overthrow the social order of a small Southern town and it made the book way more interesting than I thought it would be.
The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison
I'm thinking of going back and reading more in this series so I went back and reread this. I don't have much to say, I liked it just as much on a reread.
Dungeon Crawler Carl / Carl's Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman
I really kind of detested the first one, so I don't know why I went back for book two. I think it's because book one is basically competent at what it's doing, and they're quick reads, so I think I thought maybe it'd grow on me, but it did not. If you hated Ready Player One, you will hate this more. I didn't hate Ready Player One, but I just do not understand why Dinniman is doing the thing he's doing in the way he's doing it. His 'campaign setting' is alternately incoherent and morally upsetting, and the idea of a character cleverly LitRPGing his way through this nonsense world that commences with the murder of 99% of all human life makes me angry in a way I struggle to put in words.
The Incandescent by Emily Tesh
What can I say, I'm a sucker for magical pedagogy and I loved how this book represented the mundanities of guiding young people through a world full of supernatural dangers. The teacher perspective was incredibly sharp and convincing, and the unreliable narrator of it all was very effectively handled. An excellent book I flew through.

dw_maintenanceHi all!
I'm doing some minor operational work tonight. It should be transparent, but there's always a chance that something goes wrong. The main thing I'm touching is testing a replacement for Apache2 (our web server software) in one area of the site.
Thank you!

Vidding
Feb. 3rd, 2026 06:24 pmsettiaiI've been slowly making my way through some of the new vids from this year's Festivids and, oh, do I miss vidding. A song that I used in a vid myself years ago came up on a Spotify playlist earlier, and I could still pretty much see the entire vid playing in my head as I was listening to it.
Part of me really wants to try to get back into it, but I know that I don't have the spoons for it. Not right now. I'd basically be starting from scratch when it comes to the various programs needed to properly vid, and even if I were to somehow get the spoons together to go to the trouble of getting everything I'd need? I'd still have to find the time for it. I barely have time to write fanfiction sometimes, and I can fit it in at work or on the bus - neither of which would be an option with vidding.
But, oh, that doesn't make me miss it any less.

scans_dailyIn the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.
Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.
The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.
Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.
It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.
The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.
A shout out to all in Minnesota who are doing a spectacular job of peacefully pissing off people in power (That came out more Stan Lee than I expected).
More of the Epstein files were released, and I've lost track of what is being released to distract from what because it seems to be a Möbius strip.
In what I think must be a first, Disney+ dropped all the episodes of their Yahya Abdul-Mateen II led "Wonder Man" series. One might suspect lack of confidence in their product in not even giving it a weekly release.
On the plus side, The Muppet Show special airs this week, and I think we all need something like that right now.
A documentary about the current FLOTUS also arrived to be greeted by reviews which were a gift to the sarcastic (My favourite remains "If they showed this as an in-flight movie, the audience would STILL walk out") and lots of photos of empty cinemas, though it did manage to get bums on seats in the US.
The Grammy's happened but, since my musical awareness rarely extends beyond oompah-bands and/or Himalayan throat-singing I don't feel qualified to comment.

monday poem #337: Mary O'Malley, "The Lie"
Feb. 2nd, 2026 09:06 pmheresluckThe Lie
The lie that a protester shot dead by ICE
in Minneapolis was a terrorist, the lie
that killers set loose on their own cities
are victims, the lie that a poem is a gun.
A poem is not a gun, though a poem
from the pen of Akhmatova or Neruda
or Mandelstam, not one of whom ever
to my knowledge fired a shot, might
in certain conjugations of the stars
lodge in the heart and spread out
across mountains and borders
across languages and the sea and you
can't shoot it down, or lock it up
or alter its pixels. It is played
on the hollowed reeds of dead bones.
A poem like that is a bomb.

Sherman’s March of the Penguins: JUSTICE LEAGUE AMER--er, ANTARCTICA ANNUAL #4 (JLI 52)
Feb. 1st, 2026 09:06 pmtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
This 56-page annual came out alongside the 52-page JLE annual, while JLA and JLE continued their monthly schedule. A new Justice League Quarterly super-sized comic was in the scripting stages. Giffen and Dematteis were writing all of the above. And the premise of this comic is… “Ha ha, wouldn’t it be ridiculous if the Justice League brand were OVEREXTENDED?”
( I mean, imagine Batman or somebody declaring that EVERY hero was a Justice Leaguer! )
