50 Games in 50 Days: A thread in which I play fifty games over the next two months and make a tweet or two about each of them. Playing the entirety of games less than an hour or the first hour of games that are longer. Here we go: [before we get started: if you're a game dev and you want me to check out your thing, reply to this tweet with a link / DM me a link / DM me codes! always happy to see something I don't know about]

I just finished re-reading Salvatore's THE CRYSTAL SHARD. It kicks a lot of ass. Here's a short thread where I think about why it works so well as a fantasy novel [1/?] Structurally, the book is wild. There are massive battles and detailed fights in the first hundred pages, and yet NOTHING BAD happens to the central characters. It is basically just a friendly romp where some nice people win a war.
