Hi Laszlo. :))

Yep! Internet Archive has a great catalogue for those interested in browsing and downloading old magazine issues for free.

The price is a bit steep but it goes towards critical archival work so I can forgive them for it, especially in this economy.

Yeah. The spoiler tool is a little janky.

I haven’t read that book in so long, I can’t clearly remember what happens but I do remember it left me feeling rather hopeless.

I am currently reading Legends of Localization Book 1: The Legend of Zelda by Clyde Mandelin as part of a readalong with a friend. It focuses on the first entry in the TLOZ series and I’ve found it really interesting so far. I hesitate on reading fanmade gaming history books cause I don’t trust the information will be accurate or well-written but so far, so good.

I’ve just started another book (haven’t even finished the prologue yet) with another friend called Secrecy World: Inside the Panama Papers Investigation of Illicit Money Networks and the Global Elite by Jake Bernstein. This book got on my radar after I found out the Laundromat film is based on it. I suspect to get mad at rich people’s audacity by the end of it.

I remember learning about that Kowloon city from playing the game Stray, whose setting is heavily inspired by it. While not a book, it might be something you’d be interested in if you haven’t already played it.

I never finished the Long Walk (had to return a borrowed copy before I was finished). The concept is interesting and hits a personal note as I was forced to walk for long distances throughout my childhood, sometimes to a traumatizing extent.

Apparently there was a screening of the film that required viewers to walk on treadmills at 3mph for the entire length of the movie and if they stopped, they were removed from the theater.

It took me a long time to get through it as well. I feel like the book didn’t need to be as lengthy as it was. I didn’t find a whole lot really happens in the grand scheme of things and there is a notorious taboo scene that made no sense whatsoever plot wise but I guess he just really wanted to write that scene lmao.

I feel like Fahrenheit 451 and 1984 go hand-in-hand if you haven’t read it already.

I really loved Babel. There is one character that does a quick 180 that I could see being too abrupt but sometimes people are just like that. The book spoke to me most on the level of despair and apathy and hopelessness in the face of a society that is keen on subjugation.

I thought people might be interested in trade deals in the past but I understand if I shouldn’t have posted here since the main goal of this community is for current deals. I can delete it if it’s not welcome.

I’m hoping for something new, old Pokemon and Animal Crossing ports, and Luigi’s Mansion release for the GCN classic library.

Same developer and publisher.

Don’t remind me. 😭

Yeah, I could see this being a rabbit hole of how particular to be with genre labels so it may end up being more work while not being particularly helpful.

I’m not sure if it’d be helpful to add or not but maybe adding the genre of game to the chart. It might be fun to compare how many games of a certain genre is being released or for those unfamiliar with the game, see at a glance what type of game it is.

I’m still working on three-starring the 150cc races in Mario Kart World. I told myself once I get three stars on all of them, then I can consider getting my hands on that Bravely Default remaster.

Thank you for continuing to be a superb instance owner. :))

I’m right there with you.

Why is this downvoted lmao.

Dinner.
