Ah yeah, that makes sense.

Yeah, not sure I want ALL of them for subscriptions, I just wanted to see what else they had in case I did want to subscribe. I’m sure it will be back up eventually and I can go check.

I think it’s ok to have themed instances. People are still free to create communities on other ones, even if they’re similar topics. No one is saying ALL ttrpg has to be ONLY one roof. I help admin an instance that’s devoted only to sci-fi and fantasy communities (any media) but only those themes. Some of the communities we have also exist elsewhere and that’s the great thing about the fediverse.

that’s what I ended up doing, searching via kbin magazine search. Weird. I’d like to see the entre instance in case there are other communities not shown here.

for some reason I can’t get anything to come up when I click your pathfinder link. And typing the web address in gets me a 404 error.

browsing in new I have seen a !houseplants but I’m not sure which instance it was on. It would be nice to see cozyplaces or something like it though.

Oh well that’s unfortunate. I like series because I like to stick to characters on long journeys, getting to know them and care for them. Only the first book is available on Kindle Unlimited so I guess I just won’t bother reading past book 1.

(The one exception to this so far is Malazan, which has so many characters and so many times those bounce around from being in a books to disappearing for 3 books, only to resurface again later. Malazan is fantastic though, and totally worth it. Erikson managed to make me care deeply about characters that we only saw for half a book. It’s ridiculous.)

After wrapping up book 6 of Murderbot Diaries I started in on A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers. I’ve heard the wayarers series was good, have access to the first book so I am checking it out. So far it’s okay.

Yeah Murderbot isn’t heavy Sci-Fi, they’re more interesting stories told in a futuristic setting. I finished the 6th one last night and can’t wait for the 7th to come out later this year. I am hooked.

I wonder how many might be bot accounts?

on desktop I use eM Client. On Android I was using just plain GMail but I saw people in this comment section using other stuff so I checked it out and swapped to FairEmail.

edit: FairEmail is fantastic and I’ve upgraded to pro. Definitely recommend this one for mobile users with multiple email accounts.

Used to use Thunderbird but I wanted something that just looked like it was from this century. I like how eM Client works and its features and it looks nice. I don’t like that I am limited to 2 email accounts though. I’d love something like it that is FOSS and allows more email addresses.

@slimerancher D4 is extremely buggy but feels so good to play. Really enjoying that one. FFXVI is gorgeous but I haven’t gotten far yet. Cassette Beasts is super cute and has a LOT of depth to it. Overall very happy with all three of them and would recommend to anyone who likes these genres of games.

I’m excited for it, cause 2D Mario is something I grew up with on the NES and SNES. I love the art style they went with or this one, it’s so clean, but it looks like it will play like the older games that were 2D. I don’t know if I will get it on release but it’s definitely on my to be played list.

Splitting my time between Cassette Beasts on Switch and D4 and FFXVI on ps5. Cassette Beasts is a great palate cleanser between heavier games.

I can’t sleep without my weighted blanket. Even in summer. We just compensate by having a large fan blowing directly onto the bed for me.
