The Wheel of Time is a great ride, I always love hearing new readers' thoughts!
The Great Hunt is, maybe weirdly, one of my favorites in the series. Everything is still new and innocent, and the characters (and the reader!) are just discovering the wider world. Glad to hear you're enjoying the series!
I want to be the person who reads attentively, underlining things and scrawling notes in the margins, then going back to reread years later, or share books with others who do the same. But I always get too caught up in the story, or just cant bring myself to do it when I do remember. It also slows down my pace of reading quite a lot, and I'm not that fast to begin with.
It doesn't help that, as a librarian, the people who write in library books are the worst!
My recent favourite Bandcamp pickups are Acid Croft Vol 9 by Shooglenifty and Riding the Wave from Miles.
There's such a great variety of musicians on Bandcamp, way too many to keep up with so I appreciate the suggestions!
I got 500 hours in Factorio before tying mods, and over 2000 since (1000+ in an SE run alone). It's been a year or so, maybe time to start up another game...
Most of my collection is CDs ripped to FLAC. It can be slow going, but I enjoy hunting around charity shops/thrift stores for new albums. You can also check out the Discogs marketplace. I've bought some things digitally from active bands on Bandcamp, and some I knew I'd never find from sites like 7digital and HDTracks.
I like the idea of instances, but would like to see the development of more "themed" servers. So maybe one instance is a cluster of related topics (science, arts, LGBT, whatever), or one that caters to a specific country/local area, or particular users (IT professionals, students, mechanics, librarians, etc).
Currently everything seems a bit slapdash, with larger instances each having a bit of everything. It will be interesting to watch the cultures here develop.
