Fair enough, I'm happy with Diablo IV and Jusant. Jusant is probably the highlight here as I've only heard good things.

I'll have to give it a go! He has a lovely way of writing, really capturing those little details of people and places.

I finished One Hundred Years of Solitude recently and really loved it. The blend of real life events and magical elements was beautifully done. It felt like an elderly relative was recalling their memories whilst embellishing them with little touches of magic. SO MANY family members, but each of them was unique. In terms of the Bingo, I've added it to 'Set in War' (though it would have also fit in several other categories).

I've just started The Wager by David Grann. It seems really fascinating so far and has already given me quite an insight into maritime life. I didn't realise until now that it recounts a true event!

I've put a lot of hours into the 3 or so picross games I own (plus Murder by Numbers, which is excellent if you like both picross and Ace Attorney).

I believe it's FF7 Remake, then Rebirth. Apparently some people online are calling the third one (not yet announced) Reclaim. We shall see!

Graig Lwyd: A Neolithic Axe Landscape in North Wales [10:19] (www.youtube.com)
 

In the hills of north Wales there is a great deal of archaeology. From standing stones, circles, cists and cairns, there is plenty to see today. However there is a type of stone used in the Neolithic that was clearly very important for its ability to be flaked. Its not flint, instead its a volcanic rock that could be flaked in the same way and ground into axe heads. These axe heads have been found hundreds of miles away from north Wales which demonstrates their high value.

Why do all languages share the same intonation for questions? (pawb.social)
 

I could be wrong here, but it seems to me that a common aspect amongst all languages is the tendency to raise the pitch of your voice slightly when asking a question. Especially at the end of a question sentence.

If I'm wrong about this raised pitch being common amongst all languages, at the very least do all languages change their tone slightly to indicate that a question is being asked?

I guess there needs to be some way to indicate what is and isn't a question. Perhaps a higher pitched voice reflects uncertainty. Is this something deep rooted in humans, or just an arbitrary choice when language developed?
