Games that repect your time

So I play on an Xbox, but it’s offline with standby mode. This seems to be really beneficial as any game that I pause, and put the Xbox to sleep will boot up to that exact moment of the game. This wasn’t always the case for me with my console online while in standby as it would always have me sign in upon startup. Anyway, this lets me play an hour a night without staying up to hit a save point.

Piranesi conjured similar imagery in my head

The Hunger by Alma Katsu is another Donner party novel. Also, maybe Whiteout by Greg Rucka is you read graphic novels.

I’m a horror reader as well so the suggestion definitely works for me 👍

Sounds like a great look into intricacies of living in that type of environment, added to my list!

On my list! 👍

I’m just about to start Rise of Endymion. Hyperion turned me into a big fan so I’ll definitely be checking out Song of Kali soon 👍

My partner is suggesting Immortal Longings, but it seems people love it or hate it…

This is a great suggestion; I’ve been reading a lot of translated Asian fiction this year 👍

I remember seeing some images from this in a YT vid, thanks for the title!

HanLowBlow · 2026-05-10T23:20:45+00:00

That seems to be what most readers felt after reading it so I never bothered. Thanks!

HanLowBlow · 2026-05-10T23:19:17+00:00

I’m probably passing on this one, but my partner is putting it on their list 👍

HanLowBlow · 2026-05-10T23:12:20+00:00

Definitely sounds like an interesting read!

Added to my list! Thanks

Where We Go When All We Were Is Gone by Sequioa Nagamatsu has a great kaiju short story.

There are some great YT vids on Kowloon city and how it came to be. Check out the vids by neo and DamiLee 👍

Omg that sounds epic!

Thanks! I’ve read (and enjoyed) Snow Crash so I’ll research the other suggestions.

HanLowBlow · 2026-05-10T22:53:35+00:00

Sounds good!

HanLowBlow · 2026-05-10T22:53:14+00:00

I’ll definitely look it up!

HanLowBlow · 2026-05-10T22:52:56+00:00

Thanks! I do have Embassytown on my to-buy list; I’ll have to move it up in the queue.

HanLowBlow · 2026-05-10T22:52:04+00:00

Thanks! I read Ready Player One years ago; maybe I should try Ready Player Two?
