I’ve had it for years, since it came out, and only managed to sink a few hours into it. I recently fired it up again, thanks for the recommendation!

Love to hear it! I read and reread Feist’s whole series as a kid, I remember always being so excited when a new book came out. I cut my teeth learning to read novels on Magician in 3rd grade!
You’ll be interested to learn that Feist didn’t write anything for the game, he just licensed the world and the characters. Neal Hallford wrote the story and dialogue which were brilliant, and Feist later adapted the story into a novel.
I just replayed QfG 1-3 last week on a family vacation and the magic is still strong. Something about these games ignite mythic perspectives in me that nothing else seems to.
Quest for Glory series! Betrayal at Krondor
Learning the growth mindset in my early 20s drastically changed my life for the better.
We can talk about this.
If you eat this daily it’s definitely worth it! Just soak the beans overnight, drain them, and rinse them daily until they’re the right size, 5-6 days.
Loved Shining Force since I watched my brother and his friend play all night after renting it from Blockbuster in the early 90s! I’ve played 1 and 2 a few times over the years and always had fun.
Yes! I also can’t stand the feeling of dry hands/feet, getting them dusty, or lettuce rubbing against lettuce 🙀
For me it was totally unintentional, it just happens to be who I enjoy being with.
I read and really enjoyed this series recently. I loved the interactions between humans and Neanderthals and how the author described their cultures and views from the inside. Of course it’s very speculative but beautifully woven, fascinating and engaging.

My first time finding lobster mushrooms! A nice patch of them was on a path I walk several times a week. I picked the biggest ones and left some smaller ones that are still growing. I plan on checking back in a couple days.
I learned today that lobster mushrooms are actually a parasitic fungus!
Anyone have any recipe suggestions?
I’ve been refining my bread for the last decade, making all the bread my family consumes. Over the last couple of years I’ve arrived at something we are all really happy with. I’ll try my best to transmit what I’ve learned via this recipe. Feel free to ask questions in the comments.
- 100% bread flour
- 60% rye starter (1:1 course ground rye:water)
- 66% water
- 3% salt
Final hydration 74%
Example for one oval banneton:
- 500g bread flour
- 300g starter (150g water 150g course ground rye)
- 333g water
- 15g salt (preferably grey sea salt like Celtic)
Mix water, flour, and starter until fully hydrated. Sprinkle salt on top.
Wait 1-2 hours for autolyse and hydration.
Stretch and fold once every 30 min - 1 hour, at least 3 times and up to 5.
Bulk ferment 2 more hours.
Sprinkle liberally with rice flour, liberate from bowl with a plastic scraper, place rice flour side down in banneton, pinch top to stretch surface touching banneton, sprinkle rice flour on top.
Cover. Proof two hours or until banneton is filled.
Refrigerate 12 hours to 3 days, longer if more sour flavor is desired.
Preheat baking stone to 500°f / 260°c with a pan for water on a rack below the stone.
Liberate the bread onto a peel and score as desired. Place on stone and put a couple handfuls of ice cubes on the heated pan. Reduce temperature to 444° / 230°c and bake for 36 minutes.

I read the first one as a teen and loved it but couldn’t get into the second one. I loved it as an adult and I’m currently 80% of the way through the complete series. It’s got ebbs and flows but overall it’s definitely a masterpiece. For me it’s her mysticism that gives it real depth.
