What's a good book that unfolds over a short time in-story? No spoilers, thanks.
  • @Varyk How short a time are we talking?

    This one might be a bit of a cheat, but: The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton. Technically everything happens within a day.

  • What are you reading??
  • @AlpacaChariot @ramenshaman
    IMO Sanderson did a good job of finishing the series.

  • A good fantasy book? you know, wizards, dragons, princesses, that kind of stuff
  • @Adderbox76 @Mothra Love the Death Gate Cycle, would also recommend it. It feels a bit like the prototype for Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere.

  • A good fantasy book? you know, wizards, dragons, princesses, that kind of stuff
  • @Aviandelight @Mothra This is a great series. I recently did a re-read and it still holds up.

  • Quinn's Ideas Youtube Channel
  • @GunnarRunnar oh then yeah, don't ask questions you don't want the answer to.

  • Quinn's Ideas Youtube Channel
  • @GunnarRunnar to be fair, the OP is not the one that asked for an explanation.

  • I much prefer Lemmy over Mastodon
  • @RxBrad @flameguy21
    I think they were more comparing the userbase of Mastodon against its corporate-owned alternatives, not to other fediverse apps.

  • Openreads
  • @kiddblur Kinda, yeah.

  • Fun Fantasy series with immense worldbuilding and great characters?
  • @bonegakrejg @IJustWentPsycho
    And if you're interested, you can pick up Assassin's Apprentice, Royal Assassin, and Assassin's Quest audiobooks on Chirp Books for $4 or less each.

  • Does mastodon support groups or communities?
  • @jay91 Group support appears to be in the works. In the mean-time, people on Mastodon can still follow group accounts and those group accounts will boost posts into their followers' feeds. For example, that's how I saw this post to reply to.

    New Season 2 Poster!
  • @teft

    I basically agree with this.

  • Unraveling the Pattern just dropped a huge season 2 story breakdown & predictions
  • @fermionsnotbosons
    Yeah he seems to be back in the swing of things. He's even managed a quick turnaround on some videos recently which makes me wonder if he's intentionally made changes to his workflow to enable that. I know with season 1 he quickly got behind because he puts so much work into his videos.

  • Instances that have/will block threads?
  • @steal_your_face
    Not Mastodon, but supposedly built on ActivityPub and plans to open federation some time in the future.

  • Great audiobook narrations?
  • @primevandal Some of my favorite space spiders.

    It’s a good book! I didn’t read the one on the website, but for some reason I feel like it’s slightly different from the published one? Maybe someone more familiar can confirm or deny.

    #BrandonSanderson

  • What have you been reading this week? [June 26-July 2, 2023]
  • I’ve been reading the murderbot diaries by Martha Wells. I’m on the third entry in the series now and really enjoying it.

    Did you know that there is a Wheel of Time fan-made board game?

    It's called Third Age and there is a league of fans that play it. If you want to see what it's about, Kritter XD has a league game tonight that she'll be streaming.

    The game is available through Tabletop Simulator.

    We Don't Talk Like That Uno

    Because I just saw the original song referenced in a toot, I thought I would share again the #WheelOfTime parody song, We Don't Talk Like That Uno, from this year's WoT Idol. This was one of my favorites.

    Share a song from a band that you pretend not to like. This week’s theme comes from @derthomas

    Tune Tuesday is a weekly prompt to share music. Each week there is a new theme pulled by @Kitty and a corresponding hashtag. This is mostly on Mastodon, but thanks to the power of federation I can tag @music here and share it to the Music community at Beehaw.org.
