Surprised no one has mentioned The Expanse series. A ton of world building in very different kinds of environments. Space stations, small ships, big ships, generation ships, asteroids, moons, planets.

The environments are well thought out in how the residents would need to adapt

Columbus is a great little city in a not so great state. The local politics are quite progressive and the food and bar scene is quite nice. There was a decently sized queer community when I lived there a decade ago, and I’d expect it to continue to flourish as long as a major university is nearby.

Winters are cold. Summers are hot. The weather is what it is 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lana!

I wonder if you’d like Sleigh Bells. Twee pop vocals over grungy guitar. A lot of fun

Gosh. I hadn’t thought about Indian in the cupboard in years

Not OP, but I almost exclusively read novels and non fiction via audiobooks. For context, I’m on pace for 70 books this year.

My main reason for audiobooks is I having a driving commute. Two hours a day round trip. Audiobooks keep me sane in a way that podcasts or music do not. I also do audiobooks when doing chores around the house.

Second, I struggle to focus on reading a book on my phone. Too many distractions and I think the reading experience is subpar. I do have an eInk reader, but I haven’t charged it in years because it’s easier to do audiobooks.

Physical books are rare in my home, but that’s a self-reinforcing cycle since I enjoy audiobooks so much.

Daddy would you like some sausages?

1. Overnight oats
2. Yogurt with frozen fruit and granola (parfait)
3. Granola/protein bar of choice
4. Hard boiled eggs
5. Peanut butter toast

Easy. Add a section to your robots.txt file.

A six year old game for 1% of the nominal cost looks better

Or AOL-Time-Warner-Pepsico-Viacom-Halliburton-Skynet-Toyota-Trader-Joe’s from Bojack Horseman

Hilarious. Thanks

Examples?

The tutorial is quite long. After you have a ship, you can abandon the questline and just do whatever you want.

Requires reading the wiki a lot, but it lets you do whatever you want.

Gunship battles with aliens on the surface? ✅ Dogfights with pirates in orbit? ✅ Arbitrage and space merchant trading? ✅ Planet exploration and flora/fauna identification? ✅ Base building? ✅

Just use shift-4 mate
