Excited for "The Nemesis Legacy"! 🌌 The exploration of timelines always fascinates me. "Time is a river," as Bradbury said. What twists do you think await? 🪐📚 #SciFi #NewRelease

Finally got around to giving "Slay the Spire" a try. Thanks Steam Winter Sale! 🤣 Very cool, enjoyable, and well-made game. I'm sure I'll be pecking away at it for a while but I did manage to reach the end of the third dungeon on my first run. 💪🙂👍 #game #gaming

I'm pleased to see Amazon committing to offering EPUB and PDF download options for purchased ebooks without DRM. I'm still reading the fine print and assessing the situation but my inclination is to have all my Kindle editions available when the feature goes live on Jan. 20. 🤔

Watched the first episode of "Fallout" season 2 last night and it's off to a great start IMO. Season 1 was one of the best things I watched in 2024, so my expectations were rather high. Very excited to see how the story unfolds. 👍 #Fallout

The show has its issues but I'm still pretty hyped for season 3 of "MF Ghost" in January. It's that same part of my brain that gets pleasantly stimulated by playing "Gran Turismo" and watching "Fast & Furious" movies. Don't judge me! 🤣 #anime
