I was going to recommend God of War Ragnarok for Adal's Greek Mythology kick but I see he's already playing it! It's a different retelling of the events of Ragnarok, and I think the voice actors did an phenomenal job of protraying the different characters in the game. Enjoy!

Glad to hear you had a great time in London Adal! Hades is a game that would massively scratch that itch and is phenomenal. I think JPC mentioned playing it so you don’t have to take my word for it.

Adal, I see you bought Fry’s books, but his narration of the audio books is positively transcendent. I have listened to all 3 several times over and his vocal characterization is hypnotic. If you have some travel coming up, throw it in your ears. You’ll thank me.

I just found out it’s whirled and not world

Always time for some more hades runs.

Adal I think you would like the book 15 dogs, it’s a short great read about the lives of 15 dogs in modern Toronto that were gifted human intelligence because of a bet between the Greek gods. https://www.amazon.com/Fifteen-Dogs-Andr%C3%A9-Alexis/dp/1552453057/ref=asc_df_1552453057/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312057607832&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14974585234243744450&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9018942&hvtargid=pla-436014143713&psc=1

Adal, I’ve yet to start watching S5 of Yellowstone (we wait until my sister comes home for the holidays) but from what I’ve heard lots of people agree that Beth is being a bit over played and boring. JPC, the sketch was so good and also very well shot (idk anything abt cinema but I thought it looked cool) and I loved seeing the foster doggies on social media. Erin, sup? How’s it going? Hope you enjoy your stay with your relatives and everyone stayed safe during that Big Snow. ( I’m Canadian and know nothing about US geography) 7:17

I've started reading the old tintin comics and I'm finding them fun. Apparently there was also a cartoon? It's very well adapted.

Adal, there's this really neat indie musical you should check out if you're into Greek myth right now - it's called Hadestown! As an actual rec, the Percy Jackson books are very good if you haven't read them yet! They're YA so might be a little young for you, but I think you'd enjoy them

Adal, great choice on getting Fry's books! They are amazing! I would also highly recommend Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey. I believe she is the first woman to translate The Odyssey into English, and she found that many, many translations by men included sexist translations and diminished women's roles and their humanity in the tale. Highly recommend her translation as it gets rid of the sexist and just plain incorrect translations, and its also just a great story!

Adal- If you liked Breath of the Wild give Immortals Fenyx Rising a shot. It’s a fun game. You can complete it in 40-50 hours but spend way more if you want exploring in an open world. It reminds me of BOTW but with a greek mythology plot line.

Adal! I don't have any book recs off the top of my head but I've been making Grecian/Greek based Pokemon with my sister which I'm sure doesn't interest you since iirc you know nothing about Pokemon but basically, same :D
