LongRedCoat, to undefined in Is this like the Room of Requirement in Harry Potter? Only a few ever learn if its existence?

Welcome! Grab a butter beer and chocolate frog.

LongRedCoat, to adhd in ADHD Problem #932

Yep. My paranoia makes me an excellent reviewer of other people's work at my job. It's from a lifetime of catching my own mistakes after some very hard lessons learned.

LongRedCoat, to interestingasfuck in "Blood falls" in Antarctica. This water contains ferrous iron, which, combining with atmospheric air, oxidizes and forms rust. It gives the waterfall that blood-red colour

Metal.

LongRedCoat, to asklemmy in What's it like working night shift?

Look up "night shift belly." I did night audit at a hotel for a year and a half. By the end, I could only really stomach eating the kale salad from Whole Foods and not much else.

It also wrecked my social life and when I got sick, I got really sick, so I think my immune system was out of whack in general.

Like others have said, the commute is a dream. The shift itself is quiet with plenty of time to have deep conversations with any coworkers you may have, read, listen to podcasts, etc. It's like living in a different world.

I say give it a try, but listen to your body and find something else soon if your health is affected.

LongRedCoat, to asklemmy in What are some of the best decisions of your life?

Quitting soda. Then much later, quitting sugar altogether.

LongRedCoat, to books in What are you reading this week? [7/09/23]

I literally just finished The Silence of Bones by June Hur. It's about a 16 year old Damo, or female police servant, who becomes wrapped up in recent murders involving Catholics in 1800s Joseon Korea. I quite enjoyed it, in spite of the main character being a little idiot sometimes.

I just started Spice Road by Maya Ibrahim, so I don't have much of an opinion yet. I like the wiring so far, as well as the middle eastern magic vibes.

LongRedCoat, to books in Highly rated book you DNF

I just got bored with Dune once it started focusing on the Fremen for some reason. I found everything before that fascinating though.

I DNF'd Shogun around 70 pages in because I couldn't handle the repetitive and redundant dialogue, the awkwardly contrived info dumps, and the innumerable mentions of the size of the protagonist's penis.

Parable of the Sower was amazing, but too real. I couldn't handle it for more than a few pages. And

The Name of the Wind stopped being interesting once the mystery of the "modern" part turned into "let me just tell you everything over the course of the series instead of drip feeding the tantalizing the information to you during the current day portion."

LongRedCoat, to books in I wish "they" would separate "fantasy" from "romance fantasy" genre.

I do like that the cover art pretty much tells you what kind of book it is at least. It acts like a filter by itself. And some of the titles too. The tired "A Blank of Blank and Blank" and so forth. The marketing works both ways, acting either as a lure or a repellant. Ha.

LongRedCoat, to nostupidquestions in What do you think is responsible for lemmy’s growth over other alternatives like KBin and Tildes?

I finally just blocked that community, since it was so spammy. That and 196. Nothing against either community. I just didn't want other stuff becoming buried under them. Now I'm seeing a lot more variety in overall posts.

LongRedCoat, to scifi in What's your most-loved non-star movie/show?

I was looking for this one in the comments. Such a batshit crazy show that went in some very weird directions, and I absolutely loved it.

LongRedCoat, to games in What's everyone playing right now?

A weird mix of a murder mystery visual novel based in Joseon Korea (called Suhoshin) and FF 16, with short dips into Goat Simulator 3. Taking a short break from Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, but I'll get back to it after these.

LongRedCoat, to polls in POLL - You now have a monthly, lifetime subscription to the last thing you bought. Are you satisfied with your purchase?

Underwear. I'm okay with that.

LongRedCoat, to asklemmy in Deleted

The lack of bloatware and the cost made me a Motorola fan as well. I also love that you can just shake your phone twice to turn on the flashlight. It's a little thing that I'm spoiled by now.

LongRedCoat, to memes in Title required

It's our first (that I'm aware of) fediverse meta! Awww, look at how we've grown.

LongRedCoat, to literature in what are your favorite cozy reads?

Lord of the Rings or any of Jane Austen's works. Sometimes I'll just open them up to a random page and start reading.
