This is really cool! My teach is usually a very similar order to what you list, but its nice to have something like this written down. I will probably steal this.
For the Woodland Alliance, I usually deacribe them as “playing Pandemic, as the disease”. You are spreading around everywhere, and can pop up suddenly to devastate someone’s clearing if they aren’t keeping you in check.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Yep I do this. The game can take 15 minutes to teach, but an hour for me to re-learn if I have to read the rules again. If I write my “teach” into a cheat sheet it’s so much easier to replay because it removes the mental barrier of having to read yet another 39 page manual.
Plus, there’s always some tricky rule that everyone gets wrong the first time I explain it. My notes help me ensure I teach it “right” the first time.
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.
Ok so, the instance owner pays them to host, and with that revenue… They pay the instance owner back? Isn’t that just a “discount” with more steps?
Just finished Doom 2016. Runs smooth as silk, and the controls are great. Just starting Hollow Knight now.
What are they getting income from? Are they wanting to run ads on your instance or something?
It’s a newer image file format. You could think of it as a “better” version of a GIF or PNG. It compresses to a smaller file size with better quality, so lots of sites are using it now to speed up image loading without sacrificing quality.
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?
