  • I’ll definitely give them a listen!

    I also need to recommend, as you seem to be a brid of my feather, using audible and a kindle together to trade off between daytime story listening and nighttime reading in bed. I know Amazon is evil, and there are a lot of issues in particular with audible’s payment structure towards indie authors, but God damn do they offer a compelling service. I picked up a new-gen Paperwhite last prime day and my bedtime routine and travel bag has been irrepreably changed.

    I’d love to hear more about what you’ve been listing to!

    Edit: I didn’t make it clear above but Amazon will track your progress between the audiobook and the Kindle book and sync them.








  • Well summarized!

    The issue with FOSS software is it attracts people who use FOSS software. I’m not saying I want the reddit of 2021 back, but the reddit of 2016 would be nicer than the reddit of 2009 we are emulating now.

    Once a few of us get our friends on board and we grow a touch more, I think Lemmy has a real chance of capturing some more of the “middle” tech literacy users, giving us some of what I, and I presume you, miss about Reddit.







  • That’s almost exactly the difference. Mechanically, they are very similar with some expanded interactions and a bit more player agency. It feels more like playing d&d than ever before.

    The SCOPE of the story is on an entirely different level. I’ve only played the first 10 hours, but I’ve done so almost 4 times, and each run through has felt >70% unique. Choices have weight, options are meaningful and plentiful, character interactions are some of the closest I’ve felt to interacting with other players in a turn based RPG.

    Is it going to shock the world like Elden Ring and Breath of the Wild? No, probably not. It does show what can be accomplished by a great team of driven writers and programmers who actually care.

    Definitely worth a try if you can pay the entry fee.
