As promised, I will be doing more checking in posts and this site will be more of a personal blog as a result of me deleting social media off my phone. Yesterday was Free Comic Book Day so I take my kids to one of our local comic store to pick up some free comics and some books. I no longer buy single issues of comics like I used to, so maybe I’m part of the problem, but I do like reading collected works. I had actually read a thread last week on Bluesky that free comic book day doesn’t actually do much to bring in new reader, where indie book store day was a massive success for his store, and had suggestions. But I’m not on social media for the moment so I guess just take my word for it? I still think it’s a fun excuse to go to the local comic store though.

The one I got for myself was the first Adventuregame Comic- Leviathan by Jason Shiga. I had actually know about this series for a while because I saw that Andrew Plotkin had made games based on them.

On Bandcamp Friday I also took my Myst love to the next logical level and bought an album by the son of the actor that played Gehn in Riven. Well actually it’s more because I have friends in the Minneapolis electronic music scene and a friend just played a live streaming show with him, but I’m going to pretend it’s because of the Myst connection.

Speaking of Myst, it looks like the game Zed, by a former Cyan person and previously published by Cyan, is getting delisted soon. So maybe consider getting that for $1.
