well it seems to be at least worthy enough for some testing

Clifford D. Simak (1953). Ring around the Sun.

From the author of my beloved Way Station (1963), Hugo Award.

About halfway into the book. Waiting to reach the end to fully form an opinion. The beginning of Ring feels surreal and somewhat disjointed to this reader, and only later things seem to start making sense. Curiously, it is when the fantastic enters the story that things start feeling right and true. Which coincides with one of the themes of the novel: how one can forget in adulthood about some truths learned in childhood and youth. So, the surreal feeling of the more mundane part of the story might be an effect that Simak was intending.

So yes, it is becoming better and better, hopefully it will hold.

Sometime I have to get back to City, which I stopped reading when I lost the book years ago.

i think you made an oopsie

Here is the wishlist for this game. Be sure to vote for it.

Hehe . Glasses ?

Jack Vance's "The Miracle Workers" would have been more appropriate, since it has Sam Salazar in it.

Mmm, life's too short to tell two open threads appart ;)
By the way, the game has some vibes of Heroes of Annihilated Empires

does it? i'm not so sure about that at the moment, played the game for a bit this morning and can't really say anything yet about the style, there is still a lot of work to be done, 2 bad the developers are already busy implementing a multiplayer mod but that said, the game its self feels polished enough, fights do look a bit silly here and there with people chasing everywhere, controlling your character is pretty fun so far, just started out with the recommended character btw, some weird mage and his female follower... actually the steam review that stated the mechanics felt like an improved bannerlords convinced me to poor some money into it, i feel already to old to be satisfied with super dream upgrade trees but on the other hand a nice little light game that can be enjoyed on a casual base is always welcome

That sounds good. Sometimes little games that are easy to pick up end up appealing more than big superproductions that require a big investment of time, study, dedication and whatnot. Also, sometimes a light game reveals deepness that happens naturally, and that the player can grasp and master as you play
