I've been blasting through Broken Earth series by N. K. Jemisin, already on The Stone Sky. So good and captivating. Also reading 'The Yiddish Policeman's Union' by Michael Chabon

Similar to Mastodon, the different instances can represent single individuals, a small group of friends, a shared common interest, or host anything. It allows a “local” feed but can also connect to any part of the federated network. An instance might even choose to not broadcast to the larger federation at all.

These instances also spread out the workload of any single server by decentralizing the network, which allows Lemmy to grow without falling into a capitalist growth method.

Also our gate to prevent the kids from barging in during the middle of the night

Cracked open so we can hear across the house to our kids room (also cracked open)… baby gates in front of both rooms to prevent the cats from disturbing our sleep lol

Oh man, perfect timing... EXCEPT we've already just gone past Cragmaw Hideout 🙈

Thanks for all of your hard work!

Raised Roman Catholic. Broke away in high school. Went all-out atheists but explored options to see what might fit my world view. Eventually settled after a while on agnostic atheist (I don’t believe in a higher power but I don’t “know”). Also found that Zen Buddhism aligns pretty closely, but by this point I don’t care to put myself into a box anymore. Nothing is a perfect fit and people make assumptions

It was made by a TV network in the early 2000's...

disagree on "they can't do Children without doing God Emperor" -- the Syfy Children of Dune miniseries was great.

Almost feel like I want a side by side comparison of Muad'Dib sitting there vs Leto II when he's full on sandworm.

Not sure if Riot Baby counts, but I just finished that and The Dreaming Void.

I’m tracking my progress through the Hugo award winners, so I’m now reading Rendezvous with Rama and have the Broken Earth trilogy on hand for when I’m done that.

I just watched a video that covered this in part. You want to keep the player immersed in the game experience. The more interfaces you give them, the more they’re taken out of the experience.

So autosaves are a great way to keep the user interacting with the game and feeling immersed.

You just posted this 4 hours ago... is this a glitch in the Matrix?

I have two accounts so far. I wish there more of a way to sync them together. Primarily because I sometimes get links for other instances, and can't interact with them because I'm not "logged in" for that instance.

I only have two, though, because my friend created a server, that I joined, and I created a server.

I greatly benefit from being hard of hearing and a wife that understands that we don't both have to suffer. For both of our kids, she's let me sleep without my hearing aids (and thus, not waking up with every little sound). As they get older, I'm solely responsible for them at night (she wakes me, and I go take care of them), but I still benefit from true silence at night, and only woken when it's important.

The other, unspoken, part of my question is the fact that our lives are busy AF, and our time is absurdly limited. My free time ends up being chores, or doing things that I've either neglected or that have piled up in the interim (so many things to do around the house, both fun and not)... it's so rare to find time to do nothing

That's the thing, I feel that she deserves it more than I do. She's had to commit so much more of her body/time towards the kids, especially in those early months (and prior to birth)... so there's a lot more that she should get before I get anything.

Yea, my wife gets way more solo time than I do!
