More Gay Fantasy. So much more
Apr. 6th, 2023 10:57 pmStill on a reading kick but now I need to read for work and I think the Libby queue had calmed down so this might be it for a little while.

It occurred to me a while back that there's a decent market for gay fantasy out there now. Such books were around around before - our book club was never out of books to read in its decades-long existence - but nowadays it feels like it's everywhere and that's kind of nice. I don't know if I'm missing it but I can't seem to find the Sci Fi books so easily. Outside of Ocean's Echo I haven't seen any titles cross my path lately and it'd be nice to mix it up a bit. So if anyone has any recommendations for some good gay Sci-Fi, particularly of the space opera type, I'm all ears.

On the games front we've got a new hero coming soon for Overwatch. He's cute, a flirt, and a support. Here's his lore intro. His kit is also scary in the sense that the options for trolling teammates are endless. He's either going to be so niche that no one plays him, or somehow OP enough that he has a locked in spot. It'll be interesting to see which turns out to be true.
And my brother and I are giving it another go at playing Divinity 2 together. We've tried maybe 3 or 4 times now to get a co-op game going and have only ever made it as far as getting of the damn tutorial island before we get distracted with something else, or lose the time to play, and then we've forgotten what's going on and restart. This time we're going for a dual Lone Wolf approach, with the idea that it will be a more straightforward game if we aren't managing companions in addition to ourselves. So far we've been struggling with utility like CC and mobility because of this but maybe once we get going that will be fixed. We've also avoided the murder hobo behavior from our previous run by just being eager to get through the beginning content for the fourth time in a row and skipping a lot of stuff. I don't know how that's going to hurt the plot in the future but whatever. I'm playing Ifan and the brother is playing the possessed redhead. My Ifan is a "cleric" aka a necromancer I guess who is trying to be a nice guy so far. But he has managed to piss some soul off by shattering its urn when maybe it didn't want to, whoops.
