I very much enjoy F451. It's ultimately a book of hope, about breaking free from the chains of societal/governmental control and seeking knowledge and truth in literature. The context in which it was written (the McCarthy Era) is paralleled by current events, and the book becomes ever more relevant. History doesn't repeat, but it sure does rhyme.

It was very quick to make too! It only took about 2 hours at a relaxed pace.

It's commentary on the current political climate using a relatively well known situation as a reference point, not a restatement of the point of the book.

Been reading through the Shadowdark RPG rulebook by Kelsey Dionne, as well as the solo rules supplement and some third party materials. I highly recommend it if you like TTRPGs and want something more streamlined than 5e. I played it for the first time at a convention last month, and it really clicked for me.

Met on OkCupid and chatted for a month or so before actually going on a date. Met up at a Starbucks for coffee. We sat down and started talking and forgot to order coffee. After a while, we took a breath, glanced around and realized 5 hours had passed and there had been a whole shift change. My legs were asleep from the wooden chair, and our faces hurt from laughing and smiling so much. That was roughly 10 years ago. We are married with 2 kids and 2 cats, so I think I nailed it?

Edit to add the stupidity on my part: After leaving Starbucks, she said she had to go buy a new laptop and mentioned she was hungry. I responded that food sounded like a good idea, because I was planning on going home to my cat and making a big batch of French onion soup. Which I did, alone. I was an idiot, but she was undeterred.

Many come to mind, but it really depends on what kind of music you like: Voyager by Blueshift

Mesma by Deadlights

The Uncanny Valley by Deadlights

Valley of Kings by The Wise Man's Fear

Connecticut Casual by Apathy

I could go on, but my personal views of what should be popular may not line up with yours or others'.

From a non-technical user, Helium ships with the Manifest V2 version of Ublock Origin and has all forms of telemetry removed. So it's more private than the base Chromium browser. I switch between Firefox forks and Helium, depending on whether a specific website works better in a chromium browser or not.
