Wait, tyromancy is real?! I thought CDPR were joking when they made an entire quest line out of it in the Witcher 3. I got a nice sword called the Emmentaler out of it and everything. Huh. TIL indeed. Thanks, OP. I never thought to Google it.
I sometimes finish the sentence for them to speed things along. It's a bad habit of mine and I try not to be rude about it. Hopefully it just comes across as understanding and supportive rather than usurping the conversation.
Ghost of Tsushima is one of my comfort games, but I hate replaying the end of act 2 because of the emotional toll.
In Devil May Cry 3, the Nevan boss fight and backtracking through the rearranged tower after it's activated are just tedious.
Another user said the Fade section of Dragon Age: Origins, but I'll go with the Deep Roads. Everything you learn in that section is fascinating, but man, I just want to see the sky again and you're down there for a while.
The beginning of COVID was a real eye opener for me. I was checking on work my friends and family and work colleagues to make sure they were okay and eventually realized that no one reciprocated. No one cared enough to reach out. I was in tears after a call with my own mom where she asked how my boyfriend was doing twice but she never asked about me.
Long story short, but I've cut a lot of ties and am trying to focus on myself for a bit. Really fucking lonely, but I think I prefer this to believing I have people who care about me when they actually don't. The truth hurts, but it's been really freeing too. Now I just need to find my people, which is really hard now because I don't go out due to social anhedonia. Yay...
As someone who has one of the non electric bidets installed and was afraid of having a puckered asshole the first time I used it, it's not that cold. And it's so worth it. I can't go back and will have a bidet everywhere I live in the future.
I think I got lucky and got one of the models with improved battery (Onyx Boox Page). I've been reading the Trigun manga on it for over a week now and it's only just getting to the point where I need to charge it finally.
But good point. Some of the older models might have worse battery life to consider. I only have a black and white model too. Color might use more battery.
I also read some things in the languages I'm trying to learn, and this feature is essential for translating words I don't know yet.
Plus, the backlight (adjusted for warmth so as not to keep me up) lets me read in bed with the light off and I don't have to get up to turn it off when I'm done.
I was very pro only real books for a while, and still am a fan of a real book, but the quality of life features of e-readers eventually sold me. Especially because night is one of the few times I can read.
Maybe look into an Onyx Boox instead of a Kindle. It will let you download books straight from the web (like standardebooks.org and Project Gutenberg) without having to side load. Also, you can add the Libby and Overdrive apps to it since it accesses the Google Play store. Also, it accepts all files formats so you don't have to convert anything.
I read on e-readers a lot and I've been known to long press a word on the page of a real book to get a definition. Yeah... Muscle memory is a hell of a thing.
