<p>Monday’s book was The Truth by Terry Pratchett. </p><p>What surprised me in this re-read was just how relevant it is to the state of the world in 2025.</p><p>Full review: <a href="https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/564e40aa-cae4-46c6-bf1c-41b84f7aee66?redirect=true" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/</span><span class="invisible">564e40aa-cae4-46c6-bf1c-41b84f7aee66?redirect=true</span></a></p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Discworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Discworld</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span></p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> <br />Skyward Sword is still a good game, even with imperfect motion controls.<br />The really spicy take: Balan Wonderworld is a good game that had to compete with bad odds.</p><p>So I guess my take is: a little experimental jank is better than polished but uninteresting.</p><p>(I agree with you: I&#39;m playing Lies of P right now and wish I could avoid dealing with weight. It&#39;s overall a fun game, though.)</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> Here are a couple of my unpopular opinions on gaming:</p><p>-Outside of the Mass Effect trilogy, I could never understand the appeal of BioWare.</p><p>-Counter-Strike is one of the most tedious and generic FPS franchises I&#39;ve ever played.</p><p>-I actually kind of enjoyed Duke Nukem Forever, the hate for it was way too overblown.</p><p>-Super Mario Sunshine, while good for what it is, is nowhere near among the best games in the Mario franchise.</p><p>-Clock Tower: The First Fright &gt; Resident Evil (PSX).</p><p>-I don&#39;t consider the PlayStation 2 to be one of the greatest gaming consoles.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> Games shouldn&#39;t strive for &#39;realism&#39; for gameplay mechanics. The vast majority of the time it just adds complexity (or even arbitrary) that does very little to actually enhance gameplay.</p>
