    Yeah. I am really liking Siddhartha so far. I learnt not to touch the series that is complete, from TV shows. Either, they get cancelled or the quality dips pretty drastically. So, I learnt to wait till the end.

      Ya, that’s a good call. I just try to stay unattached when I start a new book or show. If you’re big on sci/fi, Project Hail Mary is good and they’re making a movie out of it. What’s a good book that you read recently?

        I heard good things about Project Hail Mary. I will add it to my evergrowing TBR. :(

        I loved this book called Tao The Watercourse Way by Alan Watts. It is a lovely intro to taoism.

          Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll add that to my list. Are you on goodreads? I love cataloging all the books I’ve read and want to read, especially since I often forget which ones I have read.

          What sort of video games do you like to play?

            I used to. I haven’t used my account in years now.

            I love story-rich games. Games like The Witcher 3, Skyrim, etc. Recently, I finished Hollow Knight. I cheated to actually be able play it. I wanted to experience the world and the story, but don’t want to deal with the difficulty.

              Yaaa, I’m the same way. I wish more games had story mode. I was all about the infinite life, ammo, etc when I was a kid. I was playing Red Dead Redemption 2, eventually looked up the cheat codes, played for a few hours, and then realized I couldn’t save! You can’t save in RDR2 if you use cheat codes, I was so pissed! Now I’m playing Factorio with my brother and having a lot of fun.

                RDR2 is an incredible game. Well worth a playthrough. You can use a program called WeMod to use cheats, and it won’t cause issues with no being able to save, etc.

                  Oh hell yeah, thank you for the tip! I do enjoy the game but my only beef is how much following NPCs you have to do at the start of each mission.

                  I heard great things about Hollow Knight, especially all the buzz when it first came out. What makes it so unique as a 2D platform game?

                    The world it is set in is rather incredible. Of course, it is pretty difficult too, which is inline with the themes of the game. The world is dying and decaying and game is about trying to fix it.
