Picoreview: Falcon & Winter Soldier

July 8, 2025

Picoreview: Falcon & Winter Soldier: I liked this show a lot the first time I watched it, and I think I like it more the second time. The storyline I’m more invested in is Bucky’s, because I am a SUCKER for a good redemption story, but Sam’s arc is a really good one, and the eventual payoff of the title changing to Captain America and the Winter Soldier was emotionally really satisfying. I now recall how much I despised the extreme closeups on Bucky & the shrink in his sessions…

Call of Cthulhu: Pour One Out For Dillon

July 7, 2025

I was sick the last two gaming sessions, and in my absence, Our Heroes gathered a lot of information, and…lost a hero. Dillon, who if you will recall from the end of the England adventure, came away with compromised lungs, was caught in a cloud of icy lung-sucking horribleness, which worked as advertised, and killed him dead.

july: state of the cate

July 6, 2025

I am not prepared for it to be July. I mean, I know I’m never prepared for it to be the next month, but I only wrote 7200 words in June (taking two weeks off was…IDEK if it really rested me any, so…anyway…). So this month is…book proposals and finishing a novella and…well. There are 2-3 book proposals to write, so honestly, if I get the novella and the proposals done that’ll be quite a lot of work. Especially if I do as well with the one as I’d like…

Picoreview: Infinity War & Endgame

July 5, 2025

Picoreview: Infinity War: I still love this movie, but for my reCap purposes, it turns out Cap is actually barely in this one until the end. We get the amazing arrival with a beard scene, and a good fight there, and then basically there’s very little with his storyline until the end, where he faces Thanos (and Groot, with that amazing “I am Steve Rogers” line, which honestly is also still just so in keeping with the character.) But by this point he’s fully transformed from Righteous Soldier into Righteous…
