I may have found it. Cheers!

Hopefully they stay safe

Which podcast is that? You piqued my interest, but there seem to be a lot of podcasts about the history of Rome.

Apologies, it's 1153 pages. It's 2830 on the reader though. But, yes, he restored 400 pages that had originally been removed from the original.

I would like to read The Shining again. Maybe later this year, or next.

Enjoy :)

Norway and Japan for me :)

This is incredibly fascinating... they look like monsters/machines from an early sci-fi show from the 60s or something!

I'm sure there are probably links between the two. The same fascinations about what lies at the bottom of the ocean could possibly be linked to the same fascinations of space decades later. Exploring the unknown in an inhospitable environment.

I'd love to see some of those suits up close.

Apparently, in 1990, it "was reprinted as The Complete & Uncut Edition. King restored over 400 pages of text that had been removed from his original manuscript, revised the order of the chapters, shifted the novel's setting 10 years forward from 1980 to 1990, and accordingly corrected a number of cultural references." according to Wikipedia.

I haven't been able to put the book down but, I think I can see where young you was coming from. I've just got up to where a lot of stuff kicks off and that's at least 600 pages in with 2200 odd left. The Shining is 447...

But, I absolutely loved The Shining and would recomend going to read the actual version of it, and not it's strange much longer cousin, lol. It's one of my favourites, along with Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman and Dissolution by C.J. Samson

Apparently, King went back and re-edited/revised The Stand to add things he liked and remove stuff he thought was pointless narrative, which made the book even longer.

I may also be reading a little slower to fully take in the words I'm reading. I think I have a habit of reading too fast and so I'm not really taking in a fuller picture of what I'm reading. So, not sure if that also factors in?

I'm still finishing up with Good Omens by Neil Gaiman, but I got a Kobo ereader recently and have started to read The Stand by Stephen King. I have 36hrs to go apparently!

Edit: The Stand and not The Strand.

the teams working on various Assassin’s Creed games are “part of the brand” and it’s important that all the studios are talking to each other to avoid “redoing work.”

Sounds like they are handicapped by the formulaic structure setup for the AC IP.

I guess it will be akin to previous releases, just more stealth focused again. Potentially.

I would love an AC game made similarly to the style of Dishonored or even Uncharted and the latest Tomb Raider games. Less focus of filling out huge maps and can focus on capturing a more intimate and immersive story that could heavily play into stealth and assasin mechanics.

Just my 5 cents though. A man can dream, lol.

2/2/2021 - A spring roll recipe...

I think they were okay. I used a recipe once that used chestnuts for texture and it was freaking amazing!

I've not been able to find the same recipe again.

Love the art style
