Overdrive and Libby are the same company, just a heads up.

Bought on PC, Switch, Vita, phone… not even ashamed.

That was basically my dad, but at the meat counter at the local grocery. :(

Additionally, I’m not flipping light switches while controlling a giant machine capable of killing people. Not sure why they compared the two.

the size difference helps in Norways favor too I imagine (and probably shape too!)

There are huge swaths of the US not covered. You could be driving between two cities less than an hour apart and hit dead zones.

Yeah, at least for the dwarves that I imagine they’re not just about efficiency and quality but they really want things to look interesting and intricate. (Not that brutalism can’t be interesting but it is not finely detailed/intricate like dwarf work.)

Dwarves still have decoration, both in their craft and in their style. Braids, carving, etc. Brutalism does not have the intricate design dwarves seem to. It’s all big and blocky.

When discussions like this happen I think it’s good to actually suggest alternatives!

I don’t listen to audiobooks, but a lot of people I know use libro.fm

Also your local library probably partners with Hoopla and/or Libby which allows you to borrow audiobooks straight to your PC/phone!

Thank you! I’ve heard/read the name but had never seen clips (at least of these two). I’ll have to check it out. I’ve only listened to TTRPG podcasts haven’t watched.

May I ask what player group/series this is and do y’all recommend it?

Prime is how I watched Women Talking and The Lighthouse. I was even going to crack and finally pay to rent The Lighthouse then I saw it was finally free on Prime. They definitely have some niche films.

They make it basically impossible to know about unless you are told. 😩

I know it doesn’t fix the fact the ruined main feed, but if you click on “Instagram” on the top left then select “Following” from the drop-down that appears, you will get a chronological feed of only the people you follow—no ads no suggested posts. Only reels if they were posted by someone you follow.

Samurai (侍、さむらい) were the hereditary military nobility and officer caste of medieval and early-modern Japan from the late 12th century until their abolition in the late 1870s during the Meiji era.

Scottish inventor Alexander Bain worked on chemical-mechanical fax-type devices and in 1846 was able to reproduce graphic signs in laboratory experiments. He received British patent 9745 on May 27, 1843, for his “Electric Printing Telegraph”.

In 1880, English inventor Shelford Bidwell constructed the scanning phototelegraph that was the first telefax machine to scan any two-dimensional original, not requiring manual plotting or drawing.

I was at work in a bank (big, sturdy, multiple stories) when we experienced a sonic boom. It was heard/felt across several counties. We thought a bomb had gone off somewhere.

“Fuck around and find out” for everyone else who didn’t know.

Depending what you’re in to, some mobile versions of good games like Oxenfree and Spiritfarer and Reigns.
