    I have been reading through Martha Wells' Books of the Raksura series. I had seen them recommended as "aliens that are truly alien!", though I don't really understand where that characterization comes from. I feel like I should like them more, but I find them sort of shallow, repetitive, and boring. Despite that, I do like the world she has created. I've stalled out about 1/4 of the way in to book 4 and I can't make any more progress on them.

    I've also read through Marlene Winell's Leaving The Fold, as my partner is an ex-religious person who is dealing with trauma from their upbringing. I highly recommend this book if you are close with anyone who either is ex-religious or is still religious.

    I'm currently reading Rachel Aaron's Legends of Eli Monpress series. These are a lot of fun! I zipped through the first book and am progressing nicely through the second. They sort of feel like One Piece (which I'm only reminded of due to having just watched the live-action Netflix adaptation and Eli's drive to increase his bounty) meets Hadrian & Royce from Riyria meets a Miyazaki-esque world in which every object and creature has a sentient spirit. If you're looking for some fun romping, these are a good place to go.



    Finished the Legends of Eli Monpress, and mt thoughts from above stand. The worldbuilding is really novel and cool too.



    I'v had this on my kindle, the whole series for like a decade and have never read it. Good to know it's solid.


    They're quick reads, so worth a weekend.

    I too really enjoyed the One Piece adaptation. I binged it over three nights, and am already irritated that there isn't a 1000+ episode backlog of it to keep watching!

    While I've not finished the last trilogy yet, I'm still excited for more ROTE books!



    Where did she announce it?

    Undervolting isn't something I've ever done myself, it's one of those things that really isn't that useful in the broader sense.
    It can reduce your power usage quite a lot, but at the same time it takes a huge bite out of your performance, just like underclocking. It's also, as far as I'm aware, somewhat risky as you're playing with the power supplied to your C...

    Westchester County is about 2 hours and 45 minutes from Albany. I don't know where you're getting 4 hours from.

    If by close, you mean two hours and change away, then yes, Syracuse is close. Just as close as Westchester County is. Have fun at 'Cuse.

    I'm a Google search professional. I have 4 degrees on it, but I still suck on the creativity part. I was never good at doing anything visual, hence my incredibly ugly face.

    Which one, precisely? Lately people have been taking my jokes too seriously.

    They are all very nice. Do you use Photoshop to do those or something else?
    I gave up trying to do any kind of visual design years ago, I finally understood that it requires talent, which I don't have.

    Are the images on your DevianART page all made by you?
    They look incredible.
