Blaine is a pain, and that’s the truth.

Hope everyone has a good week!

Interesting article!

The use of AI should be disclosed to readers “where appropriate,” the guidelines read, though, as with so much else, precisely where that line is drawn is left to the author. 

I would appreciate a disclaimer like this, because I’m not interested in reading books written by AI. But that does beg the question of where to draw that line and where the distinction between authors using AI as a supplementary tool (e.g. to fill in a description of a room like the writer mentioned doing), and where the AI is doing big chunks of the writing itself lies. How much AI assistance to too much?

I just did two playthroughs of BG3, and I think it’s now one of my “happy” games! I can see myself going back to it several more times!

Still having fun playing Cyberpunk 2077. Mostly I’m just driving around Night City doing side gigs and not really doing the main story, ha ha!

Animal Crossing games for me! Just chilling and catching bugs or fishing or whatever is super relaxing. I also like that nothing feels rushed, you can move at your own pace, and make your town/island look however you want.

Someone else mentioned Skyrim and that’s another one for me. I have it on practically every platform and I drop back into it every so often.

Oh no, hope the camera is okay!

I’ve never had the squirrels mess with my Bird Buddy, but they try to get into all the other feeders!

Having a night to meet up with some friends, got a day planned for volunteering at a local non-profit, and finally getting to dive into The Expanse book series, among all the day-to-day stuff!

Congrats on the job(s)!

How are we already in the second half of February? Has this month absolutely flown by for anyone else?

Busy week coming up, but mostly with events and activities that I’m looking forward to. Hope everyone has a good week!

This meme made me smile!

I’m in the same boat. I tried Storygraph and the error rate importing from Goodreads was too high for me and it was missing some features I use to keep my books organized.

I’d love to move away from an Amazon-owned company, but all the alternatives are lackluster, at least for me.

Goodreads’ strongest utility is its shelves, which function as a kind of external brain for some folks.

That’s me, ha ha! I use Goodreads solely to keep track of my book collection and reading data, and completely ignore the reviews and all of the social media features.

Isn’t that one part of a trilogy? I think I remember seeing those books!

I completely missed getting Gale in my first run, so I finally got to see his story the second time around! Also accidentally skipped the Mountain Pass area (and some smaller areas) and did a big chunk of Act 3 backwards. My first playthrough was a mess, ha ha!

Such a great title, ha ha!

Okay, turns out I’ve had this book on my list for a while and I couldn’t exactly remember why I had it in there until your description jogged my memory! Sounds like I need to read this one soon!

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue was another one that surprised me with how much I ended up enjoying it!

Absolutely loved Pirenesi!
