I had to tell my GM I didn't like their campaign, even though they put a lot of work into it :(

A nice breakfast bowl w/ sausage, egg, cheese, and shredded fried potatoes all mixed together. Throw in a glass of OJ and a mug of coffee and I am set.

It's actually been a while since I made it, since the extra effort of getting the potatoes right loses out to the morning ennui, so I end up substituting the eggs and potatoes for just grits.

Waluigi and Samus.

What this says about me is that I'm a lanky crook who underneath the rough veneer is a clumsy weirdo with a hyperfixation on birds??? I guess that's actually pretty accurate, though the slang is pretty archaic there.

Deep Space 9, Episode 6.

I've never watched anything Star Trek before, and DS9 is shaping up to be a pretty damn good start to the series. Benjamin Sisko was a super engaging character right away, and I'm really enjoying moving through each of the cast and getting to understand them.

This one was the O'Brien episode with Tosk.

DS9 'Captive Pursuit' spoilerI really like weirdo characters that make sense within their own context, and Tosk definitely checks those boxes. Even if the whole institutionalized bloodsport thing is fucked up, by the end of the episode it was hard not to think of OBrien's call to let the hunt continue as the correct choice.

Business Flambouyant

Take your business casual fit. Make the khakis skin tight and stretch them up around your waist, maybe add in a horrible sash akin to a novelty tie. Widen the sleeves of the shirt, make em a bit poofier without going full swashbuckler. Widen the collar. Make the toes of the loafers a bit pointier, and give the heels a good inch of platform. When outdoors, a diagonal hat is optional.

How is the bootleg ps5 controller market? I don't have a ps5 myself but it seems like the obvious answer is to just buy the highest quality off-brand at the better price if you don't want to pay more.

I learned to read in grade school like pretty much everyone else I know, and I remember really enjoying reading for a very narrow portion of my younger years. When reading books became a compulsary part of school, that enjoyment just vanished, and video games ended up filling that void of "solitary passtime". I dont even really like video games all that much, eheh.

Now that im older, I dont really have authority figures threatening my future if I dont read the dryest books known to man, so I'm open to the idea of just reading again - it certainly cant be worse than just browsing lemmy posts for hours, right?

The thing is, I have absolutely no grasp on what the current book scene really looks like. I dont really know what authors are considered masters of the craft, or where to even really get a finger in the pulse on which I'd be into. If you could recommend someone who writes books you like, or just a few standouts, it would really help me get my bearings.

If it helps, I'm currently reading "A hundred years of solitude", "Berserk", and "Le fluers de mal", and am generally open to tragedies, horror, and narratives that are either experimental or just weird. If you know of any manuals or informative books that are particularly well written, im also interested in those!
