    Reading “suck it in and smile” in French to try to get some vocab back after letting my French rust in a ditch for a few years. Enjoying reading French and seeing the spellings of words I used regularly.

    That said the story is quite underwhelming with some key points that aren’t much of Anything new. Its very short though and easy enough to read despite the language so I’ll finish it up soon and move on to a more interesting story



  • I’ve seen your comments about reading digital media but if you can get an eink screen (kobo, amazon paper white, etc) it Doesn’t feel like a screen at all. Then you can look up words right there. Ive started doing it every once in awhile as a native English speaker since its so convenient.

    That said I’m gonna start picking up French again (hopefully) and that’s gonna be tough because my vocabulary was always lacking in French and I haven’t really read anything in French in years.

    I hope you enjoy crooked kingdom. I really liked both books. All the characters are so cool :)





  • I suppose not needing to grind for better gear would be nice. I think I want my next play through to be a repeat of the first and the grinding was part of the 💫 experience 💫
    But I can’t relive that experience so maybe sergey hax is the way to go.

    As to iconoclasts, Nothing gameplay wise is similar but the characters/dialogue seem reminiscent of what crosscode brings to the table, which to me was a big part of my enjoyment.


  • Sorry for the late reply. I think I watched a video with these. I think playing with sergey hax would overall detract from doing a second play through but the extra dialogues/expressions are spectacular.

    I’m currently playing through iconoclasts which was recommended as having some similarities to crosscode and I see them. Been having a good time so far with it.
    That said, it’s very difficult to compare with Lea
