There are plenty of people who think open source is sexy.

[–] hsl@wayfarershaven.eu 2 points 2 years ago

Removing as it's not an open question and because we have lots of discussions around downvoting.

We've had plenty of variations on this topic recently. Removing per rule #4.

I think my bag is pretty conventional. I do keep my earplugs in there so I always know where they are.

The third book puts such a beautiful cherry atop the whole series

Phew! I just have the third book left but I'm both looking forward to and dreading it.

I've just finished cleaning up my Calibre library and switched to the Story Graph - I really like the filters for figuring out what to read next.

Currently reading The Lefthanded Booksellers of London by Garth Nix. I've been trying to avoid YA content but picked this up as a palette refresh. So far, I'm enjoying the world-building and the snappy dialogue.

I just blew through the Gild series by Raven Kennedy - it was a random Story Graph recommendation but apparently it's huge on Booktok. I generally enjoyed it, particularly the world-building and character development. The fourth book dragged as there's a lot of set up for the final book (to be published) in the series.

And of course, Dungeon Crawler Carl, book 6! It's getting very complex but the core elements that drew me to it are still there. How in the world is this going to end?

I read the ebook because I wanted to know what happened. It was great and now I'm seriously considering reading it again when the audio book comes out because they did such a good job.

Loved this series growing up - definitely formative and probably part of my gateway into fantasy. On this vein, I can also recommend the Song of the Lioness by Tamara Pierce.

I haven't read the new book that you've mentioned but will check it out!

I really want a waffle now.

Sticky so that we have one place to discuss.

How many inks do you have?

 

This makes me pretty sad - Goodreads was awesome back in the day.

 

I've just pulled the trigger on a dock and I'm thinking it may be time to upgrade my external controller. I have a Logitech F710 which has been pretty decent for PC gaming and has worked well on Linux. I'm seeing the Xbox XS as a top recommendation. Is it worth the upgrade?

 

Do you travel with a neck pillow? Why or why not?

 

I'm trying to think of places I wouldn't go as a solo traveler and am coming up blank. What do you think?

 

I'm wondering what the monetization strategy will look like but curious!

 

I'm considering the Moonlander but I have small hands. I have an older Iris which is a good fit but doesn't have hotswap and occasionally needs to be unplugged and replugged to work. I am looking for something that just works, not a new soldering project - especially since my office will cover the cost.

Which would you recommend? And is it the end of the world if I can't reach the full thumb cluster on the Moonlander?

Cozy fantasy community created! (wayfarershaven.eu.nxdomain.lemmings.world)
 

I know it's still early days and we may not have the userbase yet, but I wanted to make sure it exists for those who may want it.

Cozy fantasy is a term to describe lighter fantasy fiction that focuses on warmth, comfort, and a sense of belonging. If you’ve ever wanted to lose yourself in a magical fantasy world but weren’t in the mood for dark themes and stressful, epic quests, cozy fantasy fiction is exactly what you need.

I wouldn't know which work is best qualified to win as I haven't read them all. I do find this helpful for suggestions on what to read next.

I liked Kaiju Preservation Society and can highly recommended it as a relatively light and silly read.

I love my suitcase (Timbuktu Copilot small) but definitely need a good personal carry-on for when I don't need to carry a laptop. What's your go-to bag?
