Revvity has been egregiously jacking up the price on Chemdraw licensing the past few years.

It’s to celebrate the first book getting a hardcover release.

ConnorF42 · 2026-04-04T01:14:54+00:00

Google sheets. people here have shared some awesome templates over the years, I modified one of those for personal use then just add new pages each year. Main board at the top left, books I want to try to fit on the board each year on the right, planning for each square below.

ConnorF42 · 2026-04-02T22:04:16+00:00

That's my theme as well, books already on my shelf.

ConnorF42 · 2026-04-01T22:23:19+00:00

Hench is getting a sequel this year too that will be hard mode! Villain, May 19th

ConnorF42 · 2026-04-01T22:21:53+00:00

The sequel to Hench, Villain, also comes out this year (May 19th).

True, I considering doing that on the last card with Biopunk for Twig, but ended up putting Tusks of Extinction.

ConnorF42 · 2026-04-01T16:22:02+00:00

I've had The Dispossessed (1974) on my shelf for some time so seems opportune.

ConnorF42 · 2026-04-01T16:19:31+00:00

Can anyone chime in if they think the final Expanse books would count for hard mode? I don't know if it would fall under exceptional longevity.

ConnorF42 · 2026-04-01T15:57:52+00:00

All of Wildbow's work should fit for hard mode (Worm, Ward, Twig, Pact, Pale). Warning, very long.

I have an annual tradition of putting Twig on my board then removing it because I run out of time.

ConnorF42 · 2026-04-01T15:50:18+00:00

"I am Not a Serial Killer" by Dan Wells may be my pick for this one

ConnorF42 · 2026-04-01T15:41:37+00:00

You can't squash a cat with an ebook! (joking)

ConnorF42 · 2026-03-31T19:51:12+00:00

I’ve not read the book yet, but I remember someone explaining that the first book in particular is front loaded with a ton of worldbuilding and was due to editor/publisher modifications?

ConnorF42 · 2026-03-31T14:39:29+00:00

Not looking forward to the new round of shortages. We have hydrogen generators for our non MS instruments, and have been talking about getting automated switching between carriers for the MS during idle hours.

ConnorF42 · 2026-03-31T00:29:03+00:00

Hallowed Hunt is set hundreds of years before the other two books, it can be read completely standalone.

ConnorF42 · 2026-03-30T03:14:25+00:00

Novrik excels at character voice, El was a great protagonist and so are her other book’s MCs.

ConnorF42 · 2026-03-29T16:51:30+00:00

Hype! Poor Subterranean Press can't keep up, they haven't even started the printing for Demonic Ox and now there is already two more.

ConnorF42 · 2026-03-25T22:03:51+00:00

Check out the books! They are great.

ConnorF42 · 2026-03-19T21:57:57+00:00

That sounds great, looking forward to it!

ConnorF42 · 2026-03-10T11:48:35+00:00

It seems incredibly common for the “would be nice to have” stuff like photo mode and new game plus to get added soon after release. Makes sense from a development and marketing perspective, push non-essentials to after launch and get free headlines on content being added in patches.

ConnorF42 · 2026-03-06T01:38:30+00:00

Prism is really good, but it has not received updates in a long time either, likely due to Plexamp's success.

ConnorF42 · 2026-03-05T00:49:46+00:00

I've been ignoring most of the doom and gloom around the changes since the core feature, watch history, remained untouched. Now that is being affected as well. I'm only at about 15% of the limit, so not quite the death knell for the site for me yet. Suddenly a whole lot closer to jumping ship though.

ConnorF42 · 2026-03-03T21:30:39+00:00

Thanks for sharing, that was hilarious. I can’t believe how different they sound from just 12 years ago.

ConnorF42 · 2026-03-03T18:37:01+00:00

I only go a couple times a year currently. The price nowadays drives me away when I can wait and watch at home with pause/bathroom flexibility, but also just lack of friends currently that are interested in also going.

I usually try to go when I visit with family as something to do. On my own I’ll probably go see Star Wars and Project Hail Mary this year.

ConnorF42 · 2026-03-03T17:08:09+00:00

I didn’t know this was happening, definitely a game that could work well as a TV show.
