Just started Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor. Enjoying it so far, about 15% in. I’ve been in a reading slump and DNF streak, and hoping this one might get me out of it.

That’s pretty neat. Did you name it?

Agree. No milk in my cereal either!

Probably Wednesdays because it’s right in the middle and I usually have multiple work meetings. Mondays aren’t usually too bad because I’m rested from the weekend.

Totally agree. Towards the end of my time on reddit I barely interacted at all. Here I feel much more motivated to participate too.

API stuff and the general response to the community feedback and blackout. I used Apollo and wasn’t interested in switching to the ad-riddled official reddit app. Tried Kbin first and eventually found myself on lemmy. Liking it here.

Just binged the whole series. Great show.

Outer Wilds is one of my favorite games, but I can see a lot of ways it isn’t for everyone.

Try a controller if you can, like others have mentioned.

It took me a long time to get used to the space navigation/flying and towards the end of the game I still sometimes crashed horribly into things. I feel like it’s kind of just part of the experience and can make for some really funny moments. If you really want to experience it yourself, maybe spending some time just focusing on getting a good understanding of the ship controls without the pressure of trying to get any exploration done that round might be helpful. Autopilot isn’t the smartest, but it can be helpful.

Watching play throughs is something I love to do now, because it is the closest I’ll ever get to experiencing the game fully again. Watching a play through before playing it yourself will basically spoil the chance ever experiencing it firsthand yourself, but might be a good option if you really want to know the story and don’t find any joy in playing it.

Edit: few changes for clarity

Feeling pretty good right now. Not my highest and definitely not anywhere near lowest. Probably like 75% if that makes sense.

I had a really bad burnout a couple of years ago related to work and over the last 6 months or so, I realized I’m finally starting to feel like myself again.

Love the picture and love the book.

They seem to be great foot recovery shoes. I wore mine for like 6 months on and off in the house while my foot healed.

Love crocs. Wear them all the time. I don’t really care if other people think they are ugly. They are comfortable, so I wear them.

Pros: easy to clean, can be good rain/pool/beach shoes because it’s fine to get them wet, come in a lot of different styles and colors, easy to slip on and off, not too expensive

Cons: most people think they are ugly, they can squeak when wet, they shrink of left in direct sunlight

I have other shoes as well, but wear Crocs quite often. I injured my foot a while back and my podiatrist suggested wearing shoes around the house for additional cushion while my foot healed. Funny enough, when I asked what kind of shoes, he suggested Crocs.
