Hey @[email protected] - did you find anyone else to hang out with?

Hey @[email protected] - what are your thoughts about Christmas on this fine day?

Hey @[email protected] - you said you'd be around today, what are you up to?

Personally, I might make a big pot of spaghetti later on. My cousin said they might pass by at some point but no guarantees. If I don't find anyone to talk to online, I'll probably just watch some free movies and game.

I really loved Hyperion when I was younger, especially "Fall of Hyperion" though I never got into any of the sequels. I should take a look at that again. I've also been meaning to give the Conan stories a read-through, starting with the originals then the followups. Hey, did you know there was a free movie on youtube about R.H. Howard, who wrote those Conan stories? this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtIQr7pLDEM

I read the original Conan tales a looooong while ago. Loved them and the de Camp ones, and the Bjorn Nyborg novel too. There are a lot of other writers that have added Conan tales, and I read a few at the time, but most were pretty mediocre. I'd stick with the early ones overall. This one was recommended on Lemmy a day or so back as having a good Lovecraftian vibe which is what attracted me. I'll see how it goes.

I did know about the movie, and did start watching it at one point, but didn't have chance to finish it. Maybe I will.

tbh that movie about R.H. Howard wasn't that good... I quit watching it halfway through. A shame bc it has some pretty good actors, and the subject has promise.
