🎮 Any #casualgamers looking for a #Discord community?

I have a small server with a mix of IRL friends & folks who've met online.

We play a variety of #videogames across a lot of genres. It's a chill space - we chat, watch movies, and game together.

New folks welcome! 😁

The #backstreetboys Millennium 2.0 album is a *vibe* right now! If I had a few $k to drop on a Vegas trip to see #BSB in concert, I'd do it in a heartbeat!

My aughts tween/teen heart is so full right now.

Today is the perfect day not to get out of bed. A snowstorm is coming, I have a heated blanket, cats, snacks, and both books and video games.

What more could I need?

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

God, this is just like Covid all over again.

Waking up each morning and just...

Few material things can provide perspective. This does for me.

His wife (Edith) was murdered, his daughters (Margot & Anne) died of Typhus.

Those leopards are looking mighty full and it's only been a week....

I agree! I wonder about the island they didn't visit, though... heard theories about it being the one dedicated to the god of love and being very important in the end.

Gus is ADORABLE!! I want to scritch his face!

Interesting! I loved the expansion of the lore, including the gods. I want to know more of her dedication to Dunne. I agree about Andarna, and I wonder if she or one of the other Irid used their time power to teach her years' worth in just a few days/weeks.

I don't think it's Bohdi - at least I really hope not! That would be devastating. According to a post I saw on Reddit, someone asked RY at an event if Broccoli was okay and she said that he was.

Was talking to a friend recently about the #Empyrean Series (Fourth Wing, etc).

The way I see it, it's not incredible literature by any means. However, it is super enjoyable.

Essentially, it's the Ghirardelli brownie mix. Still not great for you, and not as good as from a bakery, but very tasty!

That sounds like an awesome day!

Yesss! What are your thoughts?

I liked it!

I FINISHED ONYX STORM!

Let's talk about it! I have thoughts! And questions!

Spoilers!

As a librarian, I support this wholeheartedly!

A mostly full cup of light brown coffee in a white coffee mug with a rainbow watercolor image of an otter. A small otter figurine sits next to the mug. The mug is on a mat with a galaxy theme and sits in front of a black keyboard with rainbow backlighting.

Hail coffee, full of cream, caffeine is with thee. Blessed art though amongst beverages, and Blessed is the result of thy consumption, wakefulness.

Yaaayyy! Snow Day!

Went from a 3 hour delay to a full snow day!

I get to stay home with the cats! And the spouse.

Time to read Onyx Storm!

Welp, I rather fell off the wagon of my 20 books, 20 days challenge. I should pick that back up.

We have snow on the ground today! I've been hoping for a good 3-4 inch snowfall in my part of the world. It's so pretty. I like to just sit and watch it while I drink my coffee.

Times like this, you have to find the little things to love.

Aw man, that sucks! I hope it turns out to be nothing! <3

Orwell quote from the book 1984

the feminine urge to travel to beautiful cities, visit old museums and second hand bookstores, read books in cafes, drink coffee and eat my weight in pastries.

Today was the Mondayest Thursday ever.

Happy New Year

I do! It's been fun to browse.
