A couple nights ago I watched The Great Silence and holy hell is that a damn good western. I get why it wasn't released in the US at the time, but it is GOOD. #western#movie#movies
Who loves a good #audiobook? CHENNEVILLE by Paulette Jiles, read by Grover Gardner, will be released tomorrow. In my top book picks of the year. Gardner is a great narrator. More about the novel on my blog https://jillsreads.com/chenneville/@bookstodon
EVOCATIVE “WEIRD WEST” novel set in a desolate mining town where a prospector’s orphan dreams of better things and of mysterious, powerful beings high in the mountains. Intriguing! SOLID B
Maybe my personal confusion comes from the difference in #symbolism and the translator's own interpretation.
I would need to find my #nahuatl dictionary and try translating it myself some time as practice.
As a side note, ometeotl and omeyocan are something from leon portilla, and are interpretations questioned by newer sources but still show up from time to time. (2/2)
Got back into playing Colt Canyon this weekend and this morning a little. I loved it so much on Switch, I just put it on my Series X because it just went on sale for less than $5 (might still be on sale - seriously, try it, it's a killer roguelike). It's such a good game for quick runs. Now I have to unlock all the characters and weapons. It's a blast.
But over the weekend I couldn't stop thinking about og Diablo. I want to start up a new run of that sometime soon. Gonna try being a rogue (as I realized the other day I've never tried a rogue in any Diablo game), although I'm kinda worried about some tough spots. I beat the game a couple years back for the first time (I played it a bunch as a kid but never beat it) using a warrior, after not being able to get anywhere as a sorcerer. Especially the Butcher fight, that's a brutal early one it's easy to get stuck on if your character isn't strong enough. Best thing about og Diablo though, it's the only Diablo you can save anywhere. That's the best way to beat it, too. Just keep portaling back to town and healing/restocking.I had all my inventory just lying on the ground in town, since there's no stash. 🤣
