I am beyond excited for this one. I have been waiting. Chomping at the bit. Checking regularly. And it's finally out. Planet Crafter. I have played ~150 hours in Early Access and I can't wait to start all over in the full release. I am going to start over from the very, very beginning and… Continue reading Review: Planet Crafter
Author: Librin Latone
Writer, nerd, and perpetual student. I am obsessed with books - both the reading and the making of them. If I won the lottery I would try to have the best private(ish) library in the world. It wouldn't be totally private because the whole purpose of having books is helping other people find a book they will love.
I have 2 cats, Genkii (energy) and Kawaii (cutie). I will mention them regularly because they are a daily delight in my life. Granted, sometimes when I'm playing video games they are not so much "delight" as they are "distraction"... but I love them regardless.
Review: ALLIES
I listen to a lot of ongoing podcasts, but this was short-run, 7-episode series. ALLIES is "A podcast about America’s eyes and ears during 20 years of war in Afghanistan." And I think everyone in America needs to listen to this podcast. Every American should be aware, our ideals and our realities... we need to… Continue reading Review: ALLIES
MLS Suit
Oh this is a tough one!! So, if you don't know (haven't heard). "The National Association of Realtors settled a lawsuit last week that could up-end the way real estate agents are paid, doing away with the traditional agent's commission of 5-6%. " (NPR Article). I. Don't. Know. I think this is a lot more complicated… Continue reading MLS Suit
Manners: Levels of Knowledge
I probably have written about this before. If I have though, I can't find it. Tone is part of this. Online tone is definitely a part of this, but only a subset of the topic. The best example most people can probably relate to is something like a car mechanic, a plumber, or an electrician.… Continue reading Manners: Levels of Knowledge
Review: Daylight Savings time change
This isn't even really a review. We all hate it. I seriously don't know anyone who is better than ambivalent about it. Most people despise the change. A majority say they hate the change. Period. A minority hate the change, but could we please just stay on daylight savings time so when we get home… Continue reading Review: Daylight Savings time change
Review: Bitter Medicine
Bitter Medicine by Mia Tsai was a fun read. I must be on an "urban fantasy" kick because it's a theme. This book was very much focused on the romance, but the other plots through the book kept me intrigued. One of the things I really, truly appreciated was there wasn't a time the secondary… Continue reading Review: Bitter Medicine
Story: Murder Chicken
This is the story of Murder Chicken. I have been playing a lot of Palworld. My son loves watching me play which I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or not. But that isn't this story. In Palworld, there is a faction I call the "MiBs" (Men in Black). They are some of the… Continue reading Story: Murder Chicken
Politics: Start Paying Attention
I was listening to a podcast about jury selection for one of Donald Trump's cases and the prosecutor they were interviewing was explaining how you can always find someone who is unaware of events. The podcasts hosts laughed about how they routinely talk to people unaware of what's going on in politics. Even the big… Continue reading Politics: Start Paying Attention
Movie Adaptations
I recently read an article about Percy Jackson being well-received by audiences because it's a good adaptation. I'm glad. I have hope that producers might finally be beginning to understand you can't just buy the names from the book and throw out all the contents. Now, let me begin by saying I haven't read Percy in like… Continue reading Movie Adaptations
Chair Update
So Cyber Monday I found a deal for a Steelcase Series 1 chair. It took over a week to arrive, but honestly that still is pretty impressive to me to get furniture shipped that fast. I try not to let Amazon's ludicrous delivery expectations to cloud my mind with unreasonable expectations of everyone else. Plaid speed isn't… Continue reading Chair Update
