Some Crusader Kings 3 and Dark Souls Remastered

I wasn't overly impressed with Fire & Manouvre. While I'm sure its a good game the turn based style didn't really work for me. Thus besides Vermintide I play a little Victoria 3 for a 19th century fix.

I just ordered "Swords around a Throne" by John Elting. Its for "Hussar Life" as it details, to my understanding, daily life and operations of the Grand Armée. Not about big battles but soldiers' lives in the French army during the Napoleonic Wars. So perfect for the information that I'm...

Trying my hand at "Fire and Manouvre"

Made some progress in Dark Souls Remastered. I really didn't think that I would make much progress like that with the dragon boss Kalameet but on the first try, I got him down to about half HP. And now he is vanquished! Now I just need to polish off Gwyn and then this playthrough is done. And...

Third post in a row. I blame the inability to edit post after certain time. Anyway, I decided to skip Buttar for now. I am getting the Tamuli books however.

I'm getting some Christmas stuff and decided to add some more to it. In this case Pritt Buttar's tetralogy on the Eastern Front in the Great War: "Collision of Empires", "Germany Ascendant", "Russia's Last Gasp" and "Splintered Empires". There are a ton of books about the Western Front in the...

That inspiration fades while discipline remains

My creativity. There are so many stories that haven't been told and it seems that I'm the only one who knows them and thus can tell them.

I am slightly shocked to hear this to be honest. Since I'm clocking in to be an old timer I will say that it was better in the "good old days" in this specific regard.

Yeah, using an AI summery as the only research seems like a bad idea. But are there people writing who actually do this level of shallow research?
