Here was all the gaiety and glory and sparkle I knew was going to be life if I could just grasp it. For some people history is a graveyard. For me it was an enormous Christmas present wrapped in tissue paper and tied with satin ribbons, and inside would be something to adorn, to amuse, and to dazzle me forever. It was my present for being alive.

Hey! I hope it isn't rude or anything, but I wanted to ask your opinion on the Psychoanuts Art Book. I'm thinking of getting it for myself but the price tag hurts a bit, and Im wary of buying something this expensive without having an idea of how good it is.

Ps. I don't really care about spoilers, so whatever you want to say about the book will be helpful, part of me really wants to know if there's concept art for PSI King's Sensorium bc it's my favorite level

Thank you for your time!

definitely not rude at all!! I'd be happy to give a brief review of the book as is

first of all, this is quite possibly the biggest art book in my whole collection, page count AND size wise. I'm not sure if it's because most of my other art books are for movies & tv shows, while this is a video game, but a lot of the former cap out at around 200 pages

this book has 400 pages, and a lot of those pages are almost just exclusively showing off the art so you get a lot of really satisfying 2 page spreads

it's really thick tall and heavy with a solid, cool looking hard cover, nice binding & good quality paper, looking at the art itself is really pleasing

honestly one of my only complaints is that reading it is a bit annoying physically bc i have to find a good position to comfortably put it in 😂 its so heavy!! and if you do get it be sure to find a tall bookshelf for it, mine just barely fits so it is possible

the contents themselves are basically all I'd been hoping for, there's soooo much artwork and a lot of commentary both from the author herself + loads from the development staff.

notable example that i liked a lot: the folks double fine had consulted for the mental health sensitivity provide commentary for the new mental enemies, very illuminating stuff!

also do NOT worry, they have Psi King Sensorium concept art!

The contents they cover here are really thorough, there's a little bit here for everyone!

5 stars, I only mind a little bit that it got delayed a few times because I think the book itself is 100% worth the price if you're invested in this game and interested at all in video game development

[side note: having watched the psychodessy is not necessary but makes reading the art book extra interesting bc I recognize a lot of the development team's names now! shout out to gigi's super cute art style i love those tiny raz's]

Have you checked your local dumpster for any beaten up Catholics today?

so i'm writing an 8th year fic and h&d are taking a muggle studies class together in which they read one of shakespeare's plays, and i'm trying to write a final project (for which they are partners) but like. hogwarts academics don't seem all that uhhhhh rigorous to me (like we see the students complaining about having to write a foot of parchment which is essentially ONE PAGE HANDWRITTEN) and i'm a little worried that my assignment is too rigorous.

it involves a lot of like. thinking analytically and using your imagination wrt the motivations of people unlike yourself, and that's not rlly something they do much at hogwarts as far as i can see. BUT it is muggle studies, and like. they could definitely all use some practice at those skills, following the recent implosion of their society.

6, 10, 14, 16, for book asks!

6. Favorite romance novel(s): Last Tang Standing is a beloved romance fave I never got a chance to rec on here before! If you do audiobook, the narration is phenomenal. Other romances I *have* recced before: Bringing Down the Duke (historical) and Thank You For Listening (another absolute audiobook banger)

10. Favorite classical literature: Persuasion (Austen) Rebecca (Du Maurier) Theorem (Pasolini)

14. Favorite humor and satire book(s): Already said Austen once so,,, among recent reads I've really enjoyed Dear Committee Members by Julie Schumacher.

16. Favorite trilogy. I've already said Liveship Traders; another beloved trilogy that 1) is complete and 2) didn't turn into 4 books on the way: His Dark Materials.
