Lookit. Deep down every Irish person wants to spin some yank a yarn that gets cited as fact in some factual text. We told an Irish American girl that when the Muppets was released in Ireland, Kermit the Frog was called Dermot the Frog because Cromwell’s son was a Kermit.

I generally think of myself as pretty numb, but I was feeling real panic at points, outrage at others, despair and joy at others. It was so foreign for a book to do that for me that I initially thought something was physically wrong with me. I can't recommend it highly enough.

After finishing uni 8 years ago, I've found it really hard to read for pleasure. This year I've been struggling with finding the joy in it again, but the narration and dialog are voiced in such a muted but moving way that I connected with it immediately.

Picked up John Green's Hollywood, Ending when it released this week on audiobook. Finished it yesterday. Here's my review. Bear in mind, I'm just some rando casual occasional SFF reader so this was a bit of a departure for me (I loved it)

I've actually used audiobooks specifically for the ability to physically do something else while listening to them (for years I told myself I was too busy to read, so it felt like a compromise), but the literal limitation that comes with reading text on page is pretty specific to the medium.

Belle Sprout @bellesproot.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
Very fair! I do think that the way we write prose etc. incorporates that limitation in its composition. A book can't (or shouldn't) be made with the intent to be the reader doing something else with it in the background. I'll be fr though, I feel like I'm just barely learning how to read again.

Tbh in general I feel like we take too many shortcuts with thinking and speaking. It helps when responding fast, but when was the last time someone said "I think the way we argue on the internet is good, actually?"

Belle Sprout @bellesproot.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
LRT I do sincerely think that the way we abbreviate our thoughts, for rhetorical purposes or not, flattens a lot of nuance out of things. This is good for engagement, but bad for critical thinking.

People really need to fucking re-learn the difference between "I don't like this" and "This is harmful". Not liking a thing is fine, but you don't get to dictate what others enjoy, actually. Especially not within fiction. Be an adult. If you don't like something, move on.

Reading is weird because you kinda *can't* do anything else while you're doing it. At least that's been my experience with trying to get back into reading this year.

Belle Sprout @bellesproot.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
There's something to be said about how much content is designed to be consumed with a second screen. So much media feels really weird to watch if I'm trying to consciously not use my phone or do some other distraction. Repetitive dialogue, nothing happening at times, etc.

Are any of these sidequests going to be locked by the end of Chapter 16, or can we use existing completed saves for these? Do we know yet?

There is a really sad pattern I need to address in the trans community: Do not CHOOSE sacrificing yourself. I am not talking about those we lose to ideation. Don't buy a gun if you can't guarantee it won't become a threat on your life. There are other roles to play. But there's another concern.

Playing a fresh playthrough of Pokemon Rejuvenation for v14, and every time I see a shiny or a new regional form that wasn't in the last version and isn't on the wiki yet I feel like a wildlife biologist discovering a new species.

Don't burn these folks out, they're doing good work. The nightmare scenario for me is that enough people start harassing the devs so much that they deem it not worth it to continue. Stop before we even approach that, I'm begging you. If a date isn't publicly posted, assume there isn't one yet.

Look, I'm as hype as the next person waiting for #pokemonrejuvenation v14, but you've gotta be cool. This project has been available to people for *free* the whole time. Even when I'm at work I get less productive when I have to field people asking about deadlines

I don't tend to run modules, but with a reference document like a rulebook I appreciate things like lists and bolded text when I'm looking up an unfamiliar rule as an indicator of "this is a glossary word" or similar. There's a lot of variance in how people read and run games for sure!

Belle Sprout @bellesproot.bsky.social · 16/03/2026
Perhaps there's a case to be made that the book isn't what you should be reading out of at the table; there's certainly an argument that writing your own notes after reading during prep would help with retention. I'm just not sure the juice is worth the squeeze, though.

Belle Sprout @bellesproot.bsky.social · 16/03/2026
It's taking me back to public speaking classes in school - I am not writing a script, I'm writing notes to refer back to so I'm not staring at the lectern during my whole speech/presentation. The paragraph form reads like box text, but it feels less conducive to play at the table.
110
Belle Sprout @bellesproot.bsky.social · 16/03/2026
Been thinking about this over the past day. Looking at @levikornelsen.bsky.social 's variation got me thinking about it even more. When I'm running a game, I want to be able to quickly refer back to specific details - esp when answering follow-up questions.

Belle Sprout @bellesproot.bsky.social · 16/03/2026
This is def solid. The full paragraph plain text approach seems wild to me, honestly. Maybe it depends on if you are the sort of person who writes a speech word for word vs reads off an outline.
