Thanks! I think the difficulty can be a little overhyped sometimes, but it's definitely been a challenging read! More than anything, it often presents information with little context and leaves you to wonder for a while (sometimes book

The Wheel of Time is one that I'd like to read eventually too! Best of luck with Malazan! Our group has had a blast—definitely rewarding to read with a group if you can find others willing to commit because it's so dense that we&#

Love it! Have you ever tried Modded Minecraft? Huge fan of the same types of games, and nothing except factorio hits quite as hard as expert packs in Minecraft for me. Enigmatica 2: Expert Extended, Nomifactory (GTCEu Port), and Gregtech: N

I know a lot of people are apprehensive about the Apple Vision Pro, but seeing that I'll be able to take Spatial Videos with the iPhone 15 Pro Max was a huge feature for me. I can't see myself ever taking those videos with the hea

Probably my favorite novella of all time! I especially appreciated how the revelations near the end kind of re-contextualized the entire thing :)

The intent of the book is meant to provide recipes that meet the need of the quote you shared—it just utilizes a form of black humor to share those recipes. It is genuinely something that can be helpful (I plan on using some of the recipes

Activision-Blizzard-King is by no means a "failing studio" though. They are one of the most successful by nearly any metric. According to MacroTrends [0], "Activision Blizzard gross profit for the quarter ending March 31, 202

I'd probably give a more strong warning than just "some adult content/jokes" for this series. Maybe you're just desensitized or forgot how bad it can get at times, but it features a lot of extremely graphic sexual c

I've heard that the turning point on the hardware profitability tends to occur around the halfway point of a given generation, but haven't seen anything to really substantiate that—just echoing what I've seen in past discussi

I think there may be some linguistic drift here, because I've always heard of a male "Mary Sue" referred to as "Gary Stu".

This isn't an instance of a random person arbitrarily deciding to define fascism in a way that doesn't expressly adhere to the concept of "historical fascism". Mxkopy is explicitly quoting Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Sc

Just wanted to say I'm a huge fan of Industry Idle! Thanks for the hard work you're doing by maintaining such a fun incremental game :)

The Case of the Golden Idol was such a sleeper hit for me last year. I'm always looking for more games that capture the same feeling that Outer Wilds and Obra Dinn did and Golden Idol absolutely scratched that itch in the best way!

Totally get where you're coming from with this, so if you're uncomfortable with that type of language in contexts where it doesn't make sense for you, don't feel pressured. However, in my own life, I've found that t

I'd like to think I have some level of willpower and self control, but incremental games like Kittens Game are my kryptonite. There's something so compelling to me about seeing the numbers go up and I don't even fully underst

That's definitely the show that came to mind when it comes to the depravity of torturing the victims for a pittance. What a truly tragic story...

A general starting place will be My Bloody Valentine's album Loveless which is usually agreed to be the album that kickstarted the genre. There are a lot of different directions you could go from there, but personally, one of my favori

The biggest technical difference between the two that actually made me switch from Spotify to Apple Music is that Spotify has a 9,999 song limit for songs stored in your library, whereas Apple Music has no limitation. My music library is ar

A few projects that are pretty widely used in the Melee scene are 20XXTE [0] and Slippi [1]. As far as I know, neither rewrite the core engine of melee, but there are some key modifications like UCF (Universal Controller Fix) in 20XXTE that

I'll go ahead and suggest Mage Knight: Ultimate Edition [0] as a fantastic solo board game with RPG elements. There are a lot of great options for solo games nowadays which I really appreciate. Sometimes, getting a group of people toge

An interesting trend that's been picking up more and more in recent years is the Artificial Reality Game (ARG). It feels a lot like the natural evolution of the creepypasta. For example, a recent one that I've been watching videos
