Facebook is absolutely cooked ( pilk.website )

I am so upset that FB killed Craigslist, that is basically the only reason I use it regularly anymore. My feed has basically been taken over by right wing influencer bots otherwise.

Oh believe me I’m trying. I will usually cross-post things I’m selling, but I don’t get anywhere near the interest I’m my 104,000 person statistical area.

I've had this puzzle on my phone for years. Every few months I'd glance at it and try and solve it. Last night, as I was eating dinner, I finally figured out the answer!

I’d like to ask the good people of this community that, if you do know the solution or figure it out, that you not share the answer here. Feel free to announce your success, but there’s something to be said for discovering the answer completely unaided, even if it takes years. ...

I am a book four of my audiobook re-read version of Dungeon Crawler Carl before the eighth book comes out in May. I just wanted to hear the audiobooks because they are done so well.

I also just finished A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher. (All she writes is great) And now I’m moving onto Operation Bounce House by Matt Dinniman, who I will be seeing on Thursday for a signing.

It depends on your preferences. I tend not to read a lot of Horror because it as a genre is something I don’t vibe with, but I have read a few because the writing or storytelling were solid. Hollow Places was like that for me.

If you tend to vibe more with Fantasy, give Paladin’s Grace a try. (Unless a romance aspect will turn you off). Alternatively, A Wizards Guide to Baking is enjoyable and shorter.

Advice on which retrogaming handheld I should buy?

Hello, ...

JaymesRS , 6 days ago

I have an Anbernic RG556 and we just got our kids (9 & 11) Retroid Pockets.

If I’d did it again, I’d have gotten myself a Retroid instead, but it was a close call, I just like the Retroid software choices a tiny bit more, though the Anbernic is very comfortable to play.

As an aside, when we gave our kids the pockets, I put 5 games on it and put a big “price*” on getting new games. Right now they are working through some classic Game Boy carts.

*-Think chores, et al. I’m trying to recreate the experience of having limited games unless you saved up to buy a new one. I also make them do one smaller task if they want to call the “helpline” since there was a cost to call the Nintendo Power helpline that I had to cover if I wanted to call.

Can anyone explain this? I’m losst.

JaymesRS , 27 days ago (edited 27 days ago)

It’s been a bit since I’ve posted in one of these, and in that time I read the first 2 books of the Ransom Riggs series, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children Then followed it up with the brand new Dresden files book Twelve Months by Jim Butcher.

Also, during this time I’ve been doing a second go through of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series this time the audiobooks just because I have heard them praised so highly and they are definitely one of the best audiobook productions I’ve heard. I’m currently on the second book of that.

Probably get back very soon to Ms. Peregrin’s, but I’m also quickly finishing up The Invention of Hugo Cabaret before I get back.

I have been sitting here for five minutes to try and figure out how to describe it…

And the best I can do is tell you that it is very emotionally raw and it’s probably not the type of book that most people would be able to just sit down and read cover-to-cover. It’s sooo good.

JaymesRS , 27 days ago

It had been a bit since my last read through, but As song as you recall the 2 prior books you should be good. Enjoy, I really did.

JaymesRS , 27 days ago

I really enjoy all of Pullman’s books, but I haven’t read any of the new dust books. I’m curious to jump in.

JaymesRS , 26 days ago

Ghost Story is contentious, it’s just such a huge change of pace from the typical book in the series, and much more introspective. I enjoy it more and more each time I read it though.

JaymesRS , 26 days ago

But what a good choice that is.

JaymesRS , 26 days ago

Honestly, it’s the best of the bunch.

Would the museum have an area like the back of old video rental stores with a curtain blocking the doorway where they stored goatse, lemon party, 2G1C, et al?

It’s a reference to an unhinged character introduced in book 4 (the possessed head of a sex doll, it’s possessed by a minor deity). It’s sort of a catch phrase they throw out often.

I thought it was playing on it being nonsense AI generated text because they were “replacing” the workers with generative AI.

Nice palm rod. I switched to using them a few years back (they are still pretty rare in Minnesota) and it’s so good for panfish.

I… have to acknowledge I misread this first and it took me hours to realize….

I initially misread BBW as its other common online initialism… and just now realized it was Bath & Body Works… 🤦🏻‍♂️

I mean, no judgment either way, and sometimes I’m slow…

I feel like they’ve stopped being as comfortable making genre movies with superheroes and started just making superhero movies. I loved that there was such variety before that kept it more fresh.

I goofed and made the Dungeon Crawler Carl and ebook Deals communities on piefed.social instead of piefed.world. I didn’t realize which one I was signed in to. I don’t use my .social account for anything besides testing the newest releases so I remade it at Dungeon Crawler Carl and [email protected] where my main account is. Sorry for the confusion.

Is such a thing even possible? Ancient astronaut theorists say yes.

JaymesRS , 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago)

Definitely related, but I don’t know if anybody else noticed.

Erich von Däniken just passed away the other day. I miss the days I could appreciate a good conspiracy theory. Living through Covid destroyed any enjoyment I got from that.

I’d say this list is missing Littlefoot’s mom and Wash at least.

But if I’m stuck with the options from the meme, Thomas J has to come first given that Artax returns at the end of the movie.

Awesome, I searched a few times over the last month and that one never popped up. Thanks!

Must have been due to Piefed not syncing properly with that instance or community.

Bizarre!
