Thank you for the nudge to rewatch Hero! Also one of both my wife and my favorite films.

I think at this point I have a to-read/watch list that's entirely things you've written about here.

Did you ever play the Paper Mario games? They're not difficult, but they're goofy, surprisingly tight-paced RPGs with creative mechanics. Paper Mario and the Thousand-Year Door was a real pandemic high point for me, genuinely funny and soothingly familiar. I wonder if you'd enjoy them.

I've only played the most recent Paper Mario that came out on switch a few years ago. Have always wanted to play the old ones, as I'd heard they're the real successors to Mario RPG. So they're on my list!

I think we have divergent tastes, but I ordered "Tours of the Black Clock" on the strength of your sincerity.

Hopefully you enjoy it! Steve Erickson really is a singular writer. I've never encountered anyone like him.
