Hello, I do spreadsheets, love fantasy books, and play retro games. 📍 Singapore
I'm trying very hard to like The Poppy War but it's hard to get immersed in the story when every few chapters you get drawn out of the narrative.

I'd read something, blink hard, and complain to my wife that this is just China. Blatantly China with a very thin veneer of fantasy fiction.

Here's an idea for the people glazing #Elon: If you think it's a Roman salute or whatever, why don't you take a video of yourself doing it?

The armed insurrection on January 6, 2021 was an inside job. — We should neither forget nor forgive that.

It's not just a US problem. Ignoring obvious things like international trade and diplomacy under Trump's 2nd term, I worry more about the export of Trumpism across the world. Coming from the Philippines with a stint under Duterte, this is sadly becoming all too common

I finally finished #Stormlight Wind and Truth. Honestly I took many breaks in between until I had a quarter of the book left and just can't stop.

The book truly delivered and increased our understanding of the Cosmere immensely. I need to read all 5 again but this might be my favorite of the series

Atlanta is really maturing as a team. An amazing win against the Knicks

.500 Hawks have arrived and all is well in the NBA

Waiting for my wife's flight to arrive. Changi makes waiting over 2 hours in an airport a treat

I do not understand the Atlanta Hawks. Why are they so confusing? Happy we won but ??

Evidently for them to win 1) I can't watch their games and 2) only play against the best teams in the league

Final Fantasy 6 is a masterpiece

The latest @retrogamecorps.com video was the easiest watch in a while. No temptation at all for the white OLED Steam Deck. And it's not because Valve doesn't sell it in Singapore locally. Yup that's not the reason. Absolutely not.
This New OLED Steam Deck is SO CLEAN

Do you think there's time to re-read all 4526 pages of Stormlight Archives before book 5 comes out December 6?

Sister-in-law is visiting for the week so we're headed to the airport at 10:45 in the evening 💤

Found a copy of The Last Unicorn in a random bookstore in Ipoh, Malaysia. Haven't read the book before but the movie was a fond memory when I was growing up
