Huh. I can’t find a single book on here of the last 100 i have read. Is this all just self-help books or something?

All yums.

New characters are resources too. The word doesn’t have to be limited to spendable currencies like “lumber and gems”.

Yup… This is why I went into engineering.

This art stuff is too far beyond my simple brain.

For sci-fi, one I haven’t seen mentioned here yet is Red Rising.

Kind of an Enders Game meets Hunger Games in the first book, but quickly expands into a solar-system wide war with lots of intrigue, star-wars-like tech, and amazing characters.

Tetris doesn’t really have an end. It just keeps going. So this is a very specific crash where if you get far enough into the game, it can’t keep up with the player any more. You “beat” Tetris by playing so well you make the game break.

This is similar to getting pacman to crash by beating level 255 at which point incrementing the level goes past what can be stored and the data gets corrupted.

Mmmmm… SoakCenter.

I am really dumb. The link you shared doesn’t show any table like you describe, and no links to the other “parts” out of 13. Can you help me figure this out? The part I can see is pretty helpful!

“Living fuels” as opposed to fossil fuels?

Pretty recently.

When the majority of people I grew up respecting decided to use their religion as an excuse to participate in or support a terrorist attack, a lot of things started unraveling pretty quickly. Turns out none of them actually cared about what Jesus wanted, but rather what that news station said.

With so many of my old friends and church leaders telling me hate was the answer, the cognitive dissonance didn’t have any ground to stand on anymore.

These sales are for the original Ps5 model, right? Not the “slim”?

Is there any major reason to choose one over the other besides the size?

Well, I’m using GitHub. I don’t know what to tell you.

I guess I would be ok sending the money on my own. But these other services have the nice feature of allowing other users to contribute to the bounty into a single pot. I.e., I can put a bounty of $20, then user b also really wants the feature and will add $5. When the PR is approved, the developer is guaranteed $25 and doesn’t have to contact user b to send their $5 or give out their financial info to X number of people.

Is it available right now? What do they call this feature so I can search for it?

This game came out in 2022.

Oh interesting. Do you know if there is a way to get Windows Explorer to support tags for files so they can be searched? I know there’s a roundabout way to do it through the properties menu for specific file types but perhaps there is a better way?

If you haven’t already, look up Graphic Audio. They make a lot of popular books into audio dramas. It felt a bit cheesy to me the first time but it’s grown on me. I find them often on Hoopla or at my library.

“We’re Alive” was a pretty fun audio drama that I think started as a podcast, but they edited into more seamless “books”. Available as a freebie if you have Audible.

“Impact Winter” is another Audible freebie I think, about Vampires.

Alternatively, you may be interested in the Magnus Archives. It’s a podcast with a short horror story in each episode, but all tied together by the researcher who narrates it. Eventually some connections form between the stories but each one is pretty short so you don’t need to be super dedicated to the whole podcast if you just want a few stories.

What do you mean by keeping bookmarks? You mean like recording your place in the book so you can continue where you left off? I’m not understanding the benefit of that over a normal paper bookmark?

Yep, if you liked the author, Project Hail Mary by the same guy has very similar vibes. Optimistic scientist dude stuck in space using science in creative ways to save the day.

My understanding is most NSFW posts are hidden by default unless you are logged in; if you are just visiting that instance directly and aren’t logged in with an account there and changed your settings to view NSFW content it’s gonna look pretty empty.
