Apologies. Some federated content comes through with (kbin.social) after the thread title. I'm sure it's one of the bugs Ernest is working on.
Just a reminder that regardless of what kbin.social decides, you can block federated domains for yourself. Go to:
https://kbin.social/d/domainname
So I just blocked Threads and it was:
https://kbin.social/d/threads.net
On the right side, click the "don't" icon (circle with a slash through it). When it's red, that means that domain is blocked.
I haven't yet switched to the Eugene library, because the card for my previous city still works, and, looking at my history, I average 10 a month, so that's a bummer.
Heaven's Vault was fantastic and can be played multiple times to get different versions of the story. It's also on sale right now. What I thought was especially well done is how they tied the narrative to replaying aspect.
Listening to To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf while I do chores. It's literature so I have to listen to it since there's no plot, really, and it's all thoughts inside people's heads, so far all on the same day.
Just finished book 2 in the Seraphina series, Shadow Scale, by Rachel Hartman. I almost didn't finish it because for most of the book the main character didn't have anything going in her favor and the relentless piling on of bad news made me anxious.
I've got to finish the other stories in Stories of Your Life and Others, by Ted Chiang, because I got it to read "Story of Your Life" after reading a thread on Kbin about the movie Arrival (which I had really enjoyed by apparently hadn't understood fully).
TotK. I'm going the maximum exploration route, so I've only gotten the Travel Medallions, Tulin's Sage, and the locator so far. I'm leaving the main story until much later. 135 hours in, though, and only playing an hour or two most days.
We're glad you're here! With the Fediverse there can be many Eugene communities. There's also [email protected]. Using tags makes crossposting possible, but it doesn't hurt to subscribe to multiple.
Pinky: What are we doing this weekend, Brain?
Brain: The same thing we do every weekend...We're going to take over Hyrule!
How on Earth have you done all the temples in only 50 hours?
I used to live in a city that uses ranked-choice voting. While I wasn't keen on the person ultimately selected the last time, it took the anxiety away from choosing candidates and I had no trouble accepting the results (disappointing though they were).
There's a picture of the mayor being sworn in and another of one of the accused men. The article does not mention the race of the attackers nor how they self-identify.
