sj_zero , to patientgamers in Do you still play couch coop nowadays? Which games do you recommend?

I find a lot of AAA games don't really do couch coop these days which is disappointing.

One game I always come back to (and it's ancient and Free to Play) is Awesomenauts. It's a cartoon sidescrolling hero shooter type thing, but it's a lot of fun.

RicoBerto , to books in Anyone else uses The StoryGraph?

Wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a bookclub on the fediverse really.

What did you think of the Children of Time series? I loved the first one, and enjoyed the second though it didn’t capture me as much. Is the third one worth reading (no spoilers)?

leraje ,
@leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Its OK and worth reading just for the sake of completion but its not as good as 2 and nowhere near as good as the first one.

OmegaMouse ,
@OmegaMouse@pawb.social avatar

Ahh that’s a shame - I’ve heard elsewhere that the third one was a return to form. I’ll have to read it either way and see what I think.

leraje ,
@leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I definitely say read it and me saying its not as good as 1 or 2 is just my opinion :)

howler OP ,

I’ve read them too and first one was amazing, second one was good but repetitive. Third one I finished but didn’t like. The story gets repeated over and over

RicoBerto ,

I have the ability to listen to whatever I want at work so I hardly ever fail to finish a book unless it’s really not pulling me in.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say it was nowhere near as good as the first two but it certainly was different and not in a way I found interesting. A bit slow to get to the point I guess is how I would say it.

Made me think about sentience more than the first two, though I don’t know if it alone provided enough info to really do anything beyond those initial moments of “huh, I guess that could be the case.”

Thanks for sharing your thoughts :) I’ll give it a go and see what I think. I’ve never not enjoyed any of Tchaikovsky’s books, so I’m sure it’ll still be a good read - I suppose the first book in this series set a very high bar though!

Beardedleftist ,

bookwyrm.social is what I’ve been using. I’m not an avid tracker though.

I tried thestorygraph, liked the idea but I don’t like my readings to be guided by an algorithm and also I don’t feel like paying for a platform, especially if I’m not using the main feature (the recommendations)

howler OP ,

I tried Bookwyrm but I wasn’t a fan of the review style. I like that in TSG you have a checklist with moods that give you an overview of the feelings the book may evoke. So giving my opinion is fast and painless, if I don’t feel like writing a whole review

Beardedleftist ,

Fair point lol I don’t find the “discover” feature attractive, so I’ve been using the Openreads app just to keep track of what I’ve read year to year (a great app, by the way!)

Edited to add that maybe different instances of bookwyrm have different ways to review your books? I may be wrong about this, but I think it is worth checking if you really want to try an open alternative.

howler OP ,

I did not know about the different instances, will definitely check them up! Thank you

Beardedleftist ,

You’re welcome! I hope you find something you like :)

Beardedleftist ,

Ping just to see if you found something relevant/interesting! :)

howler OP ,

Sure!

howler OP ,

How could we do that?

RicoBerto ,

I believe story graph either has or will have that feature. Or there could be monthly posts on books about it, should someone interested in running it show up.

howler OP ,

Maybe this sub could make the suggestion in another post? I know I can’t organise this, but maybe someone can

OmegaMouse ,
@OmegaMouse@pawb.social avatar

There is a readalong feature in Storygraph. You start it from a book’s page, and then can add posts that become available once readers reach certain points in the story. I guess you could get some suggestions for book club books in this community and then create a poll to see what people would like to read.

howler OP ,

Nice, thanks!

I haven’t used them, but wouldn’t those be way heavier than PBT keycaps? I’d imagine they would actually affect the actuation force, but I wonder if it’s enough to be noticeable.

They look pretty nice, but looks like they don’t include a split spacebar, so not for me unfortunately.

Ghoelian ,

The product images do include an ALICE layout model, I guess they just used blank shift keys? hmm maybe i can use it

You could split it yourself. It’s ceramics after all.

zxqwas , to lemmyshitpost in I think my neighbor is hacking into my wifi so he can try to steal my beer wtf should I do?

You can use those plastic xmas trees as long as you have enough metal ornaments in them.

I recommend metal tinsels because they are easier to ground.

Once again I see Topre is out in the cold. I’d buy a set today if not for that.

orclev ,

Topre, for when chocolate keycaps are too mainstream and you want even fewer choices. Seriously though, that’s the tradeoff with a super niche format. Anything besides cherry and you’re going to have a hard time finding cap options.

My friend has ceramic keycaps no idea brand at the moment but I do remember him saying they were slippery and they stay “cool”.

I literally only learned about my these last night. I think they’re interesting, and I’d love to try some out, but they’re a bit pricey.
