  • There were parts of RDR2 that I adored and parts I loathed. Riding around exploring, hunting, and discovering the environment was a joy. I put a ton of hours into the game just doing that.

    The quests were a nightmare to me. Ride to location A to get the quest. Ride to location B to start the quest. Ride to location C as part of the quest and if you dare to wander off the exact route or try an innovative solution and you FAIL



  • Another happy Libra 2 owner. I came from an older Kindle Paperwhite. There was a week or so of adjustment to some minor gripes, but not sending more money to Amazon was worth it to me.

    • it’s slightly larger and heavier
    • it’s slightly less responsive
    • the dark mode button isn’t on the main reading screen, it’s buried in a menu screen

    You can install custom interfaces but I haven’t dug too deeply into that. I tried Koreader briefly but it looked like a Linux window manager from 1995 and I didn’t have time to tinker with it so I rolled back to stock.




  • Google Play Music was my favorite of them all. Good UI, good music selection, decent quality, good integration with my Google ecosystem. Then Google did a Google and turned it into YouTube Music.

    Spotify was a decent replacement - the best part was how it has an app on EVERYTHING. I listen to mostly albums so the mediocre playlists and crap shuffling rarely factor in. The worst was funding Joe Rogan, price increases, and paying artists shit.

    Tidal pays artists more, and they have higher quality audio, though the UI is kind of meh. At least I’m not indirectly funding Joe Rogan anymore.






  • Comics will usually be published as individual issues. In the case of Invincible, it was 144 issues.

    Then issues will be rolled up into trade paperbacks (sometimes called TPBs or trades). They usually follow a short story arc. Under the “collected editions” section of the Invincible wiki you can see it list which issues are in each of the 25 TPBs. Depending on which printing, it’s possible to get TPBs that group issues differently.

    Then you’ll get Omnibuses or Omnis that bundle TPBs into a few giant books.
