Working my way through Anne McCaffrey’s Pern novels again. Read them first as a child and it’s lovely being back in that world again

In fairness, games are still something I’m willing to pay for and books. I think probably because Kindle and Steam are better user experiences than pirating those.
I used to have a moral objection to piracy, I thought that if a piece of media is good enough that I enjoy it then the people that made it deserve to be paid for their work.
I’m increasingly of the opinion that even if I do pay for something there is no guarantee that the people that worked on it will get their fair share and paying for media is increasingly a worse user experience than piracy.
I turned down a few graphic settings but honestly thoughly playable. Looking forward to performance patches so I can turn some of the eye candy back on
I’m enjoying it. I’ve remembered that I’m terrible at building cities, but I’m having fun while coming to that realization again! Performance is mid 50fps with about 5000 people at 1080p with a 2080 super and a ryzen 3600x.
Yes. Not taking into account anything except the output of the laser verses the output of the reaction.
What you are talking about is the “split attraction model” it’s very helpful for the asexual and aromantic community when describing ourselves. It absolutely applies to people who experience attraction too.
I think on the ace subreddit the consensus was the whale. Blåvingad.
I use this BBC food one. Nothing fancy but flavour developed nicely if you prove it for 2hrs+. Cold proving in the fridge overnight also does wonders to it

Edit: scrap that, it calls for bread flour not whole
Yes, I never finished BOTW because of the size, same for Skyrim and although I’m excited for Cities: Skylines 2 I’m also a bit intimidated by the scale of it and learning all the new tools again!
Yes, discovering I’m aroace and not broken was brilliant. It gives me permission to live how I want and not feel like I’m missing out.
I did a bit of the mining and trading gameplay wipe before last. Haven’t gone back since but I likely will.
I’ve got a campaign I’m running, started with Lost Mines is Phandelver which then rolled into Wild Beyond the Witchlight and will roll into Storm King’s Thunder. In that campaign our rogue/warlock’s patron is an archfey who is the reason they are now in Prismeer. We have a dwarf cleric who is very mistrusting of the fey which is a really interesting roleplay dynamic and a fighter/barbarian who is frequently the voice of reason. They have a pet mimic called Philip and Bill the pony who is currently a giant snail. As you can imagine it frequently devolves into the best kind of bullshit!
I’m playing a gnome monk called Fiddlesticks in Curse of Strahd who is running from the same archfey as above because he stole his staff of striking, we haven’t got very far with that story yet but dope monk shit is dope.
I’m in one homebrew campaign as a great old one warlock called Zensira, I’m minmaxing him and having a lot of fun being overpowered. I ended up with invisibility and misty step at first level thanks to feat abuse!
Finally in another homebrew campaign I’m playing a Luxodon Paladin/wild magic sorcerer called Probosedia, he’s not very smart so it’s nice to play a low intelligence character and be lead a little bit.
Jesus Christ that hit hard, also nearly gave me a cry!
Can the asexual one just say “NO”?
I was put off by the pricing on these. Full price for novella length. I really enjoyed the first one, I’ll grab the rest if they go on sale
Currently working my way through the Three Body Problem series. They are very good but I’m not sure how much I’m enjoying them, they are pretty bleak in places.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!
