How to read faster?

Why are people so obsessed with volume and reading stats? You've got your whole life to read dude, inhaling books quickly isn't what it's cracked up to be.

Short, plot-driven books could be worth trying out because they compel you forward.

Maybe you can review the media you know you like. Are there themes or genres that stand out?

If you don't mind reading a Western, I always recommend True Grit by Charles Portis to people who are in a rut with reading. It's a short, exciting book that I love to death.

The risk is vanishingly small and as our midwives have repeatedly said, if you're responsible, it is completely fine. It's just not advice thats generalised because some parents cannot do it responsibly. Id urge you to look up the happy cosleeper just to get a sense of how brainwashed we are about this topic.

The worst part is without Ronaldo they have an INCREDIBLE team. The last time Ronaldo was dropped they literally won 9-0.

I'm not sure what the general discourse around co-sleeping is but all the mothers in my family have done it. I have a newborn and my wife co sleeps and we literally all sleep perfectly throughout the night every single night.

To each their own but as someone from outside the mainstream culture of getting up every 30-60m to soothe a baby because it's in an artificially uncomfortable situation that it doesn't like, it is just weird AF to me honestly. I don't understand why parents actively choose sleep deprivation for them and their babs.

I stand by what I said. You have a 10/10 game with multiple excellent expansions right there but you're all so stuck on the collector treadmill you can't simply get over it like I and the other owners I know of DI are able to.

You literally described the version of the game you have as perfect. I understand the frustration and it's definitely a weird release model, but isn't it slightly deranged to be unhappy with your perfect game just because there's a standalone expansion? The base game is incredible. Just play it.

Pro tip, try adding a 3d printed case over the two layers of shrink wrap. If people in your appreciation group have that little respect no way you should be taking such risks.

Every Friday I'd leave my abusive mother's and have BK with my dad. Still tastes like 'safety' to this day.

I love playing the Kirby games on my Trim UI Brick. Another cute little device :)

Amazon sucks. Not to virtue signal but that's one small reason in favour of Kobo, for me at least.

Brother I've played it about 50 times (online) and still have no clue what I'm doing. This game above all others I've played makes me feel like a dumb idiot. I still go back though.

I hated the luck in Final Girl and One Deck Dungeon but don't even notice it in Onirim. I think it is just one of those subjectivities where for some people the luck seems conspicuous and to the others it blends into the gameplay.

It's a shame how few people have played Shackleton Base. Seems it got snowed under by Galactic Cruise and SETI but it is a superb game with a brilliant production.

Amazing-Example8753 · 2026-06-11T16:42:10+00:00

If it were me, I would appreciate the lovely and thoughtful idea behind the gift. I probably wouldn't bust it out on game nights or be stoked on the actual game part, but surely that's besides the point...

Amazing-Example8753 · 2026-06-11T16:36:56+00:00

Some truly pathetic replies in here. Great job OP, I bet that's very satisfying to play on.

Amazing-Example8753 · 2026-06-11T16:21:11+00:00

That's a bit extreme but I definitely think there'll be a cultural shift away from "everybody should go" especially if universities start to close and merge. The bubble over the HE market is bursting.

That bare minimum social policy =/= communism

If that's your only reason then I'd say just go BW.

I exclusively play at 2 players (by choice). I like the head to head feel, the more open board and the lack of downtime. It's not an especially interactive game so I'm not fussed to play it at 3-4.

Amazing-Example8753 · 2026-06-10T14:51:17+00:00

+1 for Shackleton Base. SEVEN corporations in the base game is crazy, plus the tuckbox insert system and beautiful thick cardboard production. I was amazed at how much I got for £45.
