It was suggested by the sign up process at the top of which domain I should join. I don't remember how, it's already a blur, but afterwards I saw people saying the registration process needed to add a way of directing users to smaller instances as a thing to lighten the load and stop everyone going to lemmy.world and it confused me because that's literally what happened to me.

Anyway I also noticed it had a steam deck community and that was good enough for me.

Still working my way through The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker. Enjoying it, but it's slowed down a bit in the middle, so I'm struggling to sit and focus as much.

Playing Diablo 4 and watching every Star Trek in chronological order may also be slightly affecting my current reading efforts.

As a 30 something, the movie is part of my dna, but I never read the book sadly. May check it out soon though, I'm trying to get my 7 year old to read more with me atm. And that cover art is beautiful.

I tuuuurn around and look at what I see!

Signed up, thanks. Now I'm not on reddit I appreciate stuff like this a lot more for keeping up to date on new releases. I follow a similar newsletter for Sword & Sorcery news that I'd recommend to anyone in the same boat.

In an effort to avoid being more productive I've decided to follow this guide and watch every Star Trek in chronological order.

It's gonna be the first time in my 30 something years of life I've actually watched most of these shows. So far I'm 5 episodes into Enterprise and I'm surprised by how much I'm enjoying it.

Those early 2000s Sky One adverts did this thing a huge disservice by making it look like a moody joyless submarine drama when it's already been super high on the campy goofiness scale, it's lots of fun.

The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker. Wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I am. Great prose, sweet characters, and the plot is unfolding at a nice leisurely pace.

I'd like my special interest communities to be a bit more active...

Anyone here participating in this year's r/fantasy book bingo? How's it going if so?

Attached a pic of my card so far. Working my way through Red Sister currently and quite enjoying it, turns out this Mark Lawrence guy is pretty good.

Edit: just realised I said "this year's" bingo when this may in fact be "the last" bingo. Oh well.
