Finished reading The Lion: Son Of The Forest by Mike Brooks. I've not read a Space Marine novel for a while and it made a nice change from the Astra Militarum books I've been reading of late. Mike Brooks is one of my favourite authors, his writing style just clicks with my brain and I find his books hard to put down.
I have a new physical Memento Mori for my work desk. If anyone asks about it, I'm going to say it's a reminder of the ultimate deadline.
Yet Another Zombie Survivors is a lot of fun on the Steam Deck!
Finished reading Siege of Vraks - A Death Korps Novel by Steve Lyons. It was a good read, but I think I enjoyed Krieg a little more. The story follows several characters through numerous battles in the multi-year siege of Vraks. There are strong Nazi "cult of death" vibes in this book.
Testing Fedora 43 on an Asus Zenbook 14 (UM3406KA_UM3406KA). Hardware wise, everything seems to be working just fine and the OLED screen is bloody gorgeous. It's been a long time since I've considered anything other than a ThinkPad, but this Zenbook (with more RAM) could be a contender.
Finished reading Krieg - A Death Korps Novel by Steve Lyons. I went into this one not knowing much about the Krieg faction, so it was a fascinating read and I really enjoyed it. Also, with just a couple of storylines, it was an easy read but hard to put down. I'm looking forward to reading Siege of Vraks next.
Completed Doom (2016) on the Steam Deck. Actually, I had to switch to my PC to defeat the final boss as it glitched a couple of times on the Deck. This didn't spoil the experience though and I really enjoyed playing this. The game is mindless action, which I'm not opposed to. I may or may not play Doom Eternal next.
Not sure what I think about these new GNOME donation notifications 🤔
Completed Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and Space Marine 2 on the Steam Deck. Great games. The original ran much better then the sequel, but both were enjoyable.
Finished reading The Fall of Cadia by Robert Rath. Took me a while to get through this one as I kept picking it and putting it down - I think the multi-stranded storyline broke my rhythm. That said, I enjoyed the story and it really heated up towards the end.
