Jester King Hazy IPA (Picked up at Whole Foods in Plymouth Meeting, PA). A 3 of 4. Didn't realize Jester King distributed this far and wide these days, and this is a perfectly fine hazy IPA. Has some nice orange citrus zest and pith notes in the nose and a few other tropical ones as well. Body has a slight creaminess and light bitterness in the finish.

Let’s do this!

Hello again! Today I bring you a visual novel recommendation because I found it so much fun due to certain elements that reminded me of Re:Zero, a fandom I love to suffer for. *(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭*

The VN is called Jester / King, it's available on steam and right now it's on sale on itch.io!

You play as the court jester, Madion, and you're having a terrible day, and have been having a terrible day every day for quite a while because the king is a jerk, and now he's dead and you wake up next to his corpse without any memories and it gets worse.

Oh, political intrigue!, you must be thinking, but no. There's a curse! The whole kingdom has gone to hell in a handbasket and no one knows why! Okay, that's a lie, some people think they know why, but there's a lot to dig to discover the truth, and for that you have the help of three love interests (one guy, two girls), each with also a lot of issues, complicated backstories, secrets that can lead you all to your death, the works!

The curse involves time loops! When you die or when you run out of time, you have to begin again and, just like in Re:Zero, if you fuck up you can kiss the rapport you've build with your allies goodbye!

A bit of spoilers under the cut, but not many because it's funnier that way.

My boy Madion is also a jerk, and an idiot, with serious unresolved issues, but you can help him get better! Or at least choose the options to not make him look like a complete dingus!

There's a lot of backstory and revelations for all the characters, including the king. It's very much a YMMV situation.

You too can experience the rollercoaster of not surviving a situation and then going oh, no, this is all my fault, and then going wait a minute, this is all your fault, actually, and then going good grief, we all done fucked up everything, and then screaming in frustration!

There's even a death cult with funky robes! :D

There are, unfortunately, no witches, but there are demons, so...

There's a flowchart that lets you pick from where you want to restart a loop so you don't have to do the whole thing every time, you will appreciate it, trust me.

I didn't super adore the ending I got (there are multiple, of course), but the journey was very fun and made me feel things, and I was too much of a coward to try to get a bad ending.

The art is a bit rough, so don't expect something on par with Mihoyo or KyoAni; but we are here for time loops and suffering!

So yeah, if you feel like giving this a try I hope you enjoy it

(o゜▽゜)o☆

Jester King 🤹‍♂️

So you wanna pretend like you don't know Everything you've talked loudly about What would happen then If I asked someone else out? You wouldn't care right? You shouldn't care If you're really so cold If you're really unaware Three years of evidence stacked against you Can't pretend it didn't happen now Because if I was really in your spam file Why would you want to redo my contact now So many reasons why you would try to act this way You don't like I'm several leagues ahead of you You're such a clown Jester king of the high court Go ahead and make a fool of yourself Trying to run after me in a sprint When you can tell That this time I'm leaving And there won't be any thing you can do to stop me now Want to play stupid I can get your majesty to his knees

If he tries to pull this sh*t further, I'm renaming his contact in my phone to Boo-Boo the F*king Fool

I drink a lot of different beers in the course of my days, it will likely be my demise. I’m okay with that. Carsie Blanton sings ships are safe in harbor but it’s not what ships are for. Drinking wild ales, mixed fermentation beers, and barrel aged…whatever, is a bit of adventure.

This beer is a delightful passage in a sea of otherwise unremarkable malt. I’ll stow the sailing metaphor as I’m nearly three sheets to the wind but GD I’ll be looking to get more of this treasure before I cut and run.

Demonheart was a delight and I am very glad to see that Jester / King is equally wonderful (and right now 50% discounted on Steam).

It has everything I love: a jester protagonist, who is both suspicious of all of his friends, angsty AND very good at inappropriate flirting, if the mood strikes him.

Demonheart conquered me with a toxic, sexy romance, while Jester / King successfully wooed me with time loops and a corresponding high death count. (Though the romance options are also nice.)

The plot is dynamic and while it is not as good as Raging Loop (a fantastic time loops visual novel with some of my most favorite waifus of all times), it has a quick pace and gets right to the juicy stuff. Raging Loop on the other hand needed more time to introduce you to the characters and the basic concepts.

The downside (if you want to call it this way) is that Jester / King is not very grounded. It's very much anime in how it presents the story, so you need to suspend some disbelief and trust that everything will be explained later.

Also... I'm very sorry, but the art is meh. On the other hand Demonheart was also not that good, but the visuals grew on me.

However, the voice acting is sparse, but REALLY good. Always a delight to be surprised with one or two of the voice acted lines, because they really show the personality of the characters and are also pleasant to listen to.

Barrel-Aged Beers: A Journey through Time and Flavor

Photo by ELEVATE on Pexels.com In the world of craft beer, few things can compare to the complexity and depth of flavor that barrel-aged beers offer. These liquid treasures are a testament to the art of brewing, combining history, innovation, and the alchemy of aging in wooden barrels. Barrel-aged beers are a bridge between tradition and modernity, and they continue to captivate beer enthusiasts…

Jester King's 2018 Spon Muscat (Thanks, Ian!). A 4 of 4. Great funk in the nose -- lots of barnyard and quite a bit of grape sweetness, too. The body has a nice tartness and heft to it with a dry and acidic finish and some nice barrel notes, too. Really excellent stuff -- restrained, complex, and on par with some of the best of the best
