@Bookworm @chat Reading Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell, which I grabbed from the library totally judging the book by its cover (art)

@cheese_greater @asklemmy I’m a sucker for blueberries - they’re currently in season. Either on their own or in something.

@otter @asklemmy Currently playing Batman Arkham Asylum which last had a save ~2009. Not a superhero fan really but the team who made this were on fire. It’s so well crafted, the design decisions and direction, very enjoyable.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Physical Books. Love the tactile experience and visual representation of % complete. No issues with digital sometimes more practical when lending from the library. Not keen on buying ebooks.

@[email protected] I’d be quite content if it did the UK thing and stopped after 2 seasons. Could be a case of diminishing returns.

@[email protected] @[email protected] That close my scream wouldn’t have been internal. Pretty chill dealing with arachnids and insects (apart from white tails which get the boot) but that’s in my gedditoffme zone so props.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Those are some excellent choices. I’d pick quake for multiplayer - and SS2 for single. Honorable mention to Dune 2.

@[email protected] @[email protected] This might be the most classic Fu Manchu track there is [Maximum amounts of cowbell] Have only thrashed the version off Eatin Dust, would be interested to see if this is any different.

@[email protected] @[email protected] The Chaos Engine soundtrack by Richard Joseph.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Why can’t it be both? Classic albums are classic for a reason, and there is a ton of new music to get into. I hope I don’t get into the rut of a fixed playlist, though most of my new music comes from online discovery, whereas it used to mates / social.

Also nothing wrong with exploring the long tail of music history.

@[email protected] @[email protected] I initially enjoyed Blood and Wine more for the change of setting - it wasn’t just overlaying a story on the existing map which I was a bit over by that point. But yeah the story on Heart of Stone just eclipses it. From the foreboding beginning to the tragic ending, with probably on of the most hilarious Geralt quests inbetween it’s fantastic.

@[email protected] @[email protected] When facebook,twitter etc ruled the roost, it would have been hard to believe that you could have all these different services talking to each other, but here I am talking to your lemmy instance from my pleroma one.

Speaking of groups, it will be good to see mastodon/pixelfed get groups, but to my mind group-based communities are a different beast than microblogging, that deserve their own space, but still connect to everything.
