I prefer Squiggy

My vision didn't start going downhill until my 40's. I am also very sensitive about my eyes to the point I can barely even put drops in. So I have resigned myself to the fact that I will be a glasses wearer from here on out.

This is a great quote. I may have to borrow it.

Also Firewatch. I wish I could go back and play that game for the first time.

Two: my main on Lemmy.one and another on Reddthat.com which was the first account I created. I also have a kbin.social account. Really hedging my bets.

I've been using Connect for the last few days and so far really enjoy it. it's still missing a few features but I really like the UI.

I don't think 0.18 is officially out yet, is it?

I think 0.18 is still in release candidate state. Lemmy.one just upgraded to 0.17.4 in the last day or two. I assume the admin will wait until 0.18 is stable. I'm on Lemmy.one in Jerboa and it seems to work fine for me.

I hope not. I'm almost 50. But I'm not in the dating pool. I feel for anyone trying to date at our age. Better to be who you are though.

The first book has an overarching story, but it is the tales that the pilgrims tell each other that really stand out. They are basically like little novellas within the main narrative and can almost be taken as stand-alone. The two tales I mentioned (Priest and Scholar) were the two that really stood out to me, but they are all interesting. I re-read those two tales specifically every few years.

The overall universe that Simmons depicts in the story is also amazing. The second book (Fall of Hyperion) focuses more on the overall narrative but shows how the tales have some commonality. The key plot device behind the Priest's tale also sets up the narrative for the sequel books (Endymion and Rise of Endymion).

I couldn't agree more. Your statement is so pointed that I'm going to save it to refer to in the future.

The one I think about most often is Hyperion, by Dan Simmons. Specifically the Priest's tale and the Scholar's tale.
