I feel that Mastodon Culture is too focused on shitposting and being a descendant of Weird Twitter and we're missing out on some really good other aspects of Online Life (OnLife)

any game is a rogue-like if you lose your save file

Just a random factoid. One of the ways that we can track the diffusion of chess across Europe is by looking at laws and sermons that advocated banning the game or banning betting on the game. (Yalom, "Birth of the Chess Queen")

Yalom's book is interesting because she went in with one hypothesis (Was the modern chess queen linked to Mary?) and came out half convinced of another (The earliest works with a modern chess queen are associated with Isabela of Castile and a German Dowager Regent.)

do yourself the kindness of looking at something and saying "i'm not gonna interact with this"

Look, if I get to the last book of your trilogy (or more than 3/4s of the way through your stand-alone novel) and your main characters who are *supposed* to be partners are still sneaking around and lying to each other, you better *hope* I don't leave a review because my main take away is going to be that you wasted my time reading about characters who didn't learn fuck-all during the course of the story.
