Still shidding :)
I’m about to set up the greatest Skyrim build known to humankind; a werewolf crossbow rune magic alchemy build that will definitely keep me entertained until I lose focus around level 25 and run out of Dwemer ruins to explore
I’ve been reading through Asimov’s Foundation series. I found the first book quite dull and the premise kind of difficult to buy, and a little too ‘great man of history’-y. The second was much better though, and actually featured a female character. How progressive!
I remember reading The Caves of Steel a long while back and I liked it a lot, so I was overall slightly disappointed here. But if the trend in quality continues in this way then the third book ought to be pretty good.
all I remember from reading the foundation series when I was 14 years old is that he uses the exact same plot twist in like three separate books
Well, books 1 and 2 were very different and didn’t really contain anything that could be considered remotely similar twists IMO. But there are a ton of prequels and sequels and stuff made after the original trilogy that I’m probably not gonna read and that as far as I know Asimov kinda didn’t intend to write, so it sounds entirely likely that some of those were phoned in lol
I just finished reading “What Moves The Dead” by T. Kingfisher. It was pretty good and pretty freaky, especially towards the climax.
Freaky you say?
NOT IN THAT WAY! VOLCEL POLICE!!!
spoiler
It’s more creepy as it deals with possession through disease
The VOLCEL POLICE are on the scene! PLEASE KEEP YOUR VITAL ESSENCES TO YOURSELVES AT ALL TIMES.

That reminds me, I think I’ll take advantage of the downtime tonight to read Her Soul to Take by Harley Laroux. I’ve heard good things about it from a friend who knows my tastes.
its about to happennnn
im reading about medieval afghanistan
Where will you be when Hexbear is kil?
At work filling tanks OF DISPAIR!
Getting my labor exploited smh
I am obviously reading every leftist book on my bookshelf instead of just staring at them with a vague plan to eventually start and finish them.
Buying an EReader has helped me reclaim the hunger for reading I had as a child. I couldn’t force myself to read physical books for some reason over time, but now I read far more regularly.
Might be worth considering!
For me audiobooks have helped.
For some reason audiobooks go in one ear and right out the other for me, haha.
they also do for everyone else, that’s why people who don’t like reading but think that it’s a prestigious activity like them. they can not-listen to an entire book and then be like “oh yeah i read that one”
I don’t think that’s quite true. It may be for some, but then Podcasts wouldn’t really be a thing either.
It just comes down to the fact that reading is active and listening is passive. If you’re reading a book, the book proceeds at precisely the pace of your understanding. If you have to read a sentence five times to understand it, then you do, and nothing provides any pressure on you because you’re the one in control. If you’re listening to an audiobook and you don’t understand a sentence or lose focus or whatever, it just keeps on plowing ahead. And while it is possible to rewind and listen again, it just can’t possibly deliver information as effectively as reading.
ELDEN RING ELDEN RING ELDEN RING
Also forcing myself to finish reading Neuromancer, Gibson couldn’t seem to write with more than 1 hand but I want to see the origin of many Cyberpunk tropes so whatever.
I’m reading Heretics of Dune, 5th of the 6 Dune books written by Frank Herbert. It’s interesting to explore the Tleilaxu a bit, and see the God Emperor’s golden path come to fruition, but it seems like Frank is running out of juice. Also the horniness is really coming out now lol.
About to finish Quantum Break. Way better than I figured it would be. Even with Microsoft poking around Remedy kills it
I really like that game when it came out it just got dragged down with the total flunk of the xbox one. Also i think people were bored of third person games but the gameplay is actually really fun
Definitely just a weird situation it came out in. But yes the combat is surprisingly good and not like many games of the era despite cheat high walls existing. Plus the story definitely hits me good. I dig it
I’m doing pretty great! I got put back on Zoloft this week and that has been excellent so far. I just feel a helluva lot happier, I’ve been slowly working on the horrible depression den that is my room. As always, I’m on the Pokemon Showdown grind. I need to get back into reading.
Riven remake just released. I’ve been waiting for this day for years. Literally christmas for autistic girlies.
I finished my master’s class last night. I am playing Elden Ring, and I’m reading Billionaire Wilderness. I also plan on taking up Baldur’s Gate 3 again, I’m on Act 3
