Google summary: "The main story arc revolves around Torak and his quest to defeat the Soul Eaters, a group of power hungry mages who seek out to destroy all life in the forest. Paver has called it simply "a single story: the tale of Torak's discovery of himself and his world."

hey there, lore! how's it going? c: I've never heard of the Dark Lord of Derkholm books. What are they about? Its going pretty good! We had some nasty storms today but we got out of work early because of them. The Dark Lord of Derkhom is hard to explain kind of. It about a traditional fantasy world that has a problem with tourist. There is a man named Mr. Chesney from our world, who made a deal with a demon for power. So every year he charges for these tours that take people from our world to the fantasy world where they get to go on an adventure with a wizard guide to slay a dark lord, but its a planned. The wizards spend every year having to pick a new dark lord who must make up a bunch of challenges and pretend to die at the hand of each tourist group that comes through. These tours are causing a strain on the world and cause real people to get killed just so a bunch of tourist can experience battles and fantasy fun. They are trying to find a way to stop mr. Chesney and due to a prophecy they choose wizard Derk to be the next dark lord. Derk would rather just hang out with the magical creatures and his family though. There are a few uncomfortable things that happen in the book but I still really like it.

Oooh, those both sound rlly good! Fantasy is my jam o: I've been looking for a new series to get into. Maybe I'll give them a shot!
Would you be okay with sharing what parts made the book uncomfortable? I don't like to be caught off guard by that sort of thing, so it would help if I knew ahead of time what I'm getting into.

Well there are only 2 darklord books so series might be a stretch. As for uncomfortable moments, I will try to tell you with out being triggering. One of the main characters is attacked by some criminals and it is implied that she is s*xually assaulted. Another magic user helps her with his powers and makes it better. He can't take away the event but he can make it like it happened a long time ago and heal her wounds.

Tell me about it. I can only get myself to do chores if I am listening to an audio book or creepy stories on youtube. Glitch in the matrix stories and ghost stories are good for that.

It's a game. You either play as a Hunter or 1 of 4 Survivors. It's horror themed without actually being horror. Kinda like Among Us in the sense the survivors have to do tasks and the hunter has to ... hunt them. XD
Has lore, but it's so convoluted that it's mostly sewn together by headcanons.

I've never played Among Us, but Identity V sounds really interesting! I usually stay away from horror because I'm a scaredy-cat weakling, but if the horror element isn't too bad, I might look into it.
What platform is it on?

And no, the horror element isn't serious. My sister doesn't like horror either at least and wasn't freaked out.

My hyperfixation on a particular game I've put 5000 hours into has come to a close, leaving the door open for so much more! (I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it, but I could sense for a while that it was time to hang my boots up.)

Dark Sun lucky you! I’m still stuck in dragon age hell, rotating between the three games instead of finishing forbidden west >.> (but to be fair I’m still rather new to dragon age as a whole) It’s late here but I fully intend to read your essay tomorrow, mint! c: I’m also curious to hear about this Pac-Man HF. Bless me with your knowledge, leap.

The Pac-Man obsession left as quickly as it came and was re-replaced with Hellraiser again.
I spent like 7 hours just going through the fandom wiki and looking up mostly stuff about the ghosts.
Apparently the ghosts are dead pac-people and pac-animals and may even eat pac-people but also pac-people can eat ghosts. Cycle of life baby.
There's also going to be a change in an upcoming re-release. Ms. Pac-Man is being replaced with Pac-Mom due to a licensing issue. Since Ms. Pac-Man was never originally their character. It was a hack created by college kids of the original arcade board that just caught on.
There's also "5" Ghosts (more in the tv show and additional lore.) Blinky (red), Inky (cyan, sometimes colored blue instead), Pinky (pink obv) and Clyde (orange). As well as Sue. Who was originally orange and later purple. But since she was orange first me n my friend maintain Trans Ghost Rights.

Snippet from my and Mint's chat because I think I am very funny and it's a self-callout.
"Therapist be like "here do DBT and remember it's important for people with ADHD to do things in moderation and take it one step at a time" Me who totally skimmed over that last part and already speedran my DBT workbook and started working on everything as fast as possible: Huh? What?"

There really is a fan wiki for everything, isn’t there?
That’s legitimately interesting, though. Who knew pac man lore existed? Not me, apparently. I had no idea there was a tv show or even a re release. You can find the most fascinating niche things on the internet!

Oh boy, new game. Time to obsessively learn everything I possibly can about it for the next several days to a week until I get sick of it and my brain moves on to a new hyperfixation.
Why can't I like things a normal amount instead of temporarily making it my entire life damn

Why can't I like things a normal amount instead of temporarily making it my entire life damn I swear we're living a double life sometimes. I just finished another project (that I randomly slotted into my schedule) and the next day I moved right onto another one that I sunk 6 hours into yesterday. Luckily I'm rapidly getting bored of it so I might drop it entirely.
