“why are you so blessedly free of snot?”

We used to keep a quote book of these random acts of hilarity… Good times.

The ending of this game outright broke my brain… What a masterpiece of storytelling. I remember getting up and walking around my house just mindblown… 100% recommended, right up there with Bastion.

Or - hear me out here -

• 60ml makers mark
• 2 dashes of Angostura bitters
• ~8ml 2:1 sugar syrup
• and if you can get it, ~8ml of maraschino liquor

Stir over ice, strain into a rocks glass with a fresh ice chunk. If you’re feeling fancy, rinse the glass with a splash of absinth beforehand. Garnish with an orange twist, a cherry, or hey why not: both.

Using sugar syrup means the sweetness is mixed into the drink… And you aren’t chewing on bits of sugar when you finish. The larger pour of bourbon gives you a longer drink and the fancy pants additions really do add something special to it, but are totally optional. Sub makers for whatever you like… It’s my favourite bourbon to mix for this one.

Yes I just shared a variation old fashioned recipe. Yes, I know in some circles this constitutes a declaration of war.

Really enjoyed the first book. Started questioning things in the second. By the third, I was hate reading it to get to the end.

Without spoiling it, the ending completely failed to land for me. Just a hodgepodge of incomplete ideas and loose ends… If it was just the first book they could’ve told other stories and built a Lovecraftian mythos around it, but instead they had to go for the 3 book deal and by the end it was just too much toast and not enough butter for me.
