Sorry to be pedantic, but only about 37% of the voting population voted to leave the EU. 34% voted to stay and 29% didn’t vote.

It maddens me when Brexiteers scream “the majority of us voted to leave!” when it’s far from the case.

Currently well into Pillars of Eternity: Deadfire. The first game is one of my favourites but I never got into the sequel and I’ve made it my mission to break through the barrier.

Love to see some First Law praise here!

I don’t think I’ve read an Abercrombie book that I haven’t loved, his characters jump off the page and his style of writing is visceral and hilarious. People criticise the worldbuilding (or lack thereof) but that’s because the Circle of the World isn’t a character in these books, it’s the backdrop. Besides, if you’ve read all the books, you’ll realise that there’s actually a shit ton of worldbuilding in there!

Also, Abercrombie is extremely fortunate that he has Steven Pacey narrating his audiobooks. The literal GOAT of audiobook narration (Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge aside).

The Devils by Joe Abercrombie.

Fingers crossed that the GOAT, Steven Pacey does the audiobook too!

Where’s the nuance in simping for an authoritarian state-capitalist regime? It’s like the people who unironically think the DPRK is more democratic than the US.
