The article just feels all weird. I’m not sure why there is such a strong push for/against keeping track of the books you read. It’s just a statistic like any other. Some enjoy it and others don’t, but it feels like each group is trying to convince the other they’re wrong for no real reason.
I personally keep track of books on Goodreads and write reviews for every one. I forget things and writing my thoughts down works for me, and it’s kinda neat to see the books I’ve read that year.
Yeah you can definitely do this! There are lots of kits on Etsy that are exactly like this in wood or plastic. Just make sure the holes are smooth and won’t catch the threads and damage them.
That looks like a nice project! I definitely have many bags of yarn and fabric around for projects as well… one day I will get through them all.
100+ is very impressive! It sounds like you essentially finish a book every 3-4 days to get those numbers. How you keep that up consistently? I feel like I can do that for a month or two and then tend to need a break before picking up more.
I usually set a goal of 24 and generally surpass it every year (at 33 this year so far). I have months where I read a ton and then others where I just don’t even pick up a book due to getting busy. But it’s a solid goal just so I can see how I’m doing that year.
The actual awards where they celebrate the games they are supposedly meant to celebrate. Some respect for the devs who poured all their time into making them instead of being rushed off the stage. And finally it would be nice for them to actually acknowledge the industries struggles this year and put a light on the fact that the gaming culture is kinda rotten and this is meant to counteract it, instead it seems to fall into the same hole.
Yeah I definitely felt that all the stuff I actually wanted to see were rushed and replaced instead with a ton of ads and generic looking game trailers. There were only a few trailers that were actually notable and for a 2h show that was super disappointing. The speeches getting rushed and a lot of them not even having time to go up was also very disrespectful to the devs. Just overall not great.
Ah I was hoping Dredge would have won one of the indie categories. Such a good game!
I’m so glad these will be another one! The first one was so great. I can’t wait to see what crazy things they think of for this one.
The show is why I picked it up actually, except I wanted to read it first before watching. I did the same with The Haunting of Hill House and The Turn of the Screw (Haunting of Bly Manor, also still need to watch that one). I tend to enjoy the original books more anyways.
I’ve been reading through a short story collection of Edgar Allan Poe and really liking it. The variety of genres he wrote in is really impressive and I can definitely see how a lot of later novels were inspired by his works! I also never knew just how old they were (1800s!).
Totally agree with this. The first few hours were great but then when you get the broom and you see the huge open space that’s just really lacking. I really wish it never went to that scale.
