My bank account tells a different story.

But seriously an interesting article! I had no idea that such a huge swath of books simply aren’t profitable, even for the big publishers. Wild!

Hope everyone has a good week!

One more turn…

…and it’s morning.

I don’t play The Sims for months and months, then come back to it and play really intensely for few days.

Skyrim, Fallout, Stardew Valley, and the Animal Crossing Games are my perennial favorites!

Time will tell on this one, but I think Baldur’s Gate 3 will be one I come back to again and again.

Mine’s not so much a pile so much as at least half of my bookcase. And it’s a little bit of everything!

Struggling to get over a lingering cold this week, but pretty much good other than that!

Have a good week everyone!

Been playing a new farm in Stardew Valley after the 1.6 update. I hadn’t played much since back before 1.5, so there is a lot of new content! Also still grooving on Cyberpunk 2077, getting some of the main quest done.

Started a new farm this morning, ha ha! I’ve barely played since before the 1.5 update, so I’m excited for all the new content!

I relate to this a lot. I was on Reddit for over a decade, too, when I left after the third-party apps shut down. I loved a lot of the discussion over there (once I got away from some of the big subs and found smaller ones), and still kind of miss it. There really was a period of sadness when I left. I’m trying to be active over here to help these communities grow, but it’s hard to get back into it and be motivated sometimes.

It’s only Monday, but so far getting things done this week.

Have a good week, everyone!

I saw that something unlocked, but I thought it was the same maps with a chance to go back and get the species you missed or something like that. I’ll have to go look more closely!

Very excited for the Stardew Valley update!

I played Terra Nil, which was really enjoyable, but way too short! It only has four levels, and I would have played much more than that.

Also playing Against the Storm, which I stumbled across on Steam looking for something else to play after I finished Terra Nil so quickly. Really liking this one as well! The city building itself is fun, and the added aspect of the metagame/cycle outside of the city builder is a twist that I think works really well.

Also still working on Cyberpunk 2077!

I kind of miss Street Pass. I always loved it for when I was going through airports- you could get Street Passes from lots of different places!

Have a good week, everyone!

Board games would be a good one!

The weekly “What are you playing?” thread, too!

We have a literature community, but I would love a weekly “what are you reading?” or similar thread. I love seeing what other people are reading and sometimes find new books in those types of threads. Mostly I just want to talk about books, ha ha!

Just helping sentient taxis find their way home and other miscellaneous gigs in Cyberpunk 2077. Making slower-than-usual progress on this one, even though I’m enjoying it a lot, because I’ve been busy lately (and have a really good book that’s stealing my time, ha ha!).

Also it’s more like what I’m planning to play, but I’m definitely going to start a new playthrough of Stardew Valley once the 1.6 update releases. I haven’t even done most of the 1.5 stuff, so I’m looking forward to a starting up a new farm!

Are the readers-in-residence allowed to read their books on their phone?

In simpler terms, you won’t find labels like “fiction” or “biography” on the shelves. Instead, you’ll find genre labels lifted from book titles (“Living by Fiction”), poetry lines (“Flood the Margins”) or wordplay (“Subject, Object, Predicament”).

I get what they’re going for, but good grief that sounds like it would be annoying if you’re looking for a particular book.
