@lina@vt.social @amarioguy@social.treehouse.systems @gfaster@tilde.zone @acegikmo@mastodon.social Oh, I love the term "Slop Ghouls" that Freya called the people stealing shit without any original thought.

@Bel_tamtu@meemu.org Hihi, I haven't even found the time to start it, but seeing your toots about it has been an enjoyable experience and pushed it waaayy high in my priority-queue. I am wondering if I shouldn't re-read the entire series again. It's been years, I think. I must have forgotten a lot.

@Bel_tamtu@meemu.org I have several comfort series I like to come back to:

• Bobiverse, as I mentioned already
• The Expanse is also one of my favorites. I got all the audiobooks, ebooks, and the series. I enjoy the effort that went into keeping it as realistic as possible.
• Mistborn was my first fantasy book and I do a series re-read whenever a new book comes out
• Andy Weir's books are always worth revisiting. Love the focus on science and great storytelling.
• Neal Stephenson's books are long, complicated, and can drag sometimes. But I enjoy the recurring characters and a lot of his books feel more like reading a history book. If I am low emotional energy, they are what I reach for.
• I used to be a lot into Zombies. Back then, the Newsflesh series by Mira Grant was a great escape from reality.

Combined with not much time and a reluctance to switch in the middle of a book, it'll take some time. Luckily, people in my bubble are very good about spoilers.

@lilyyllyyllyly @thing Tree StyleTabs (better continued in the addon Sideberry) are amazing! I could never go back, especially for research.

@Rin3d @noboilerplate I don't think that even-ness was the intention. If I were to redesign a product, I'd agree with you though :) I'd at least want symmetry.

@lethalbit That is simply stunning to look at! I strive to have such beautiful and readable schematics! Did you import the flags as pictures or draw them natively?
