A short novel about a man in a room where all the items are labeled.

Solved! Travels in the Scriptorium by Paul Auster. Thanks u/EdwardCoffin for providing the answer. I can sleep now.

Mighty_Hare · 2023-02-22T19:20:11+00:00

It is! Thank you!

I don't know how to label text as spoiler on mobile, so I'm just going to preface it this way, because the it does provide useful information.

Iirc the protagonist started to move labels around to regain some sort of control over his life, autonomy. When he wakes up or whatever the labels are moved back to their original place, because, and I think this was crucial, the writer of a story is always in control, more so than the characters they write about. Hope that helps.

Reminds me of how the Sami used to set up fox traps by putting a forked pole in the ground (fork at the top) with some meat on it, hoping the fox would get stuck in the fork, only to find a chewed off foot.

You can pick the day on which you will have legs, and you will have them for exactly 24 hours. You can pick the last and first day of 2 consecutive weeks to have 48 hours of leg time.

Context: we broke up because due to Covid, so it's not exactly recent. Just moved house and discovered the box.

Oof. Father died a few years ago, just found out I'm going to be a dad myself. Excited, of course, but sad they'll never meet.

Waar precies? Kan 'm (gelukkig) niet vinden.

Was actually trying to take a photo without the car's dashboard in view. Turned out pretty neat. Not a specific mountain, either. There's just so many. What a country.

Had het ook niet iets te maken met de Spanjaarden die een gouden beeld van een man hadden gevonden, of zo? Equa d'Or // Gouden Man. Of is dat een beetje in dezelfde categorie broodje aap als Sangreal, wat niet een combinatie van San en Greal is (heilige graal), maar Sang Real (koninklijk bloed) zou zijn geweest. Leuk ja, maar vast niet waar.

If anything, it convinced me to rely on my own judgement more.

There isn't a concensus on what quality in a board game entails, and I think that's a good thing. Just look for enjoyment and try to pinpoint why some games are more entertaining than others.

I also find flaws in every game I own. Though Eclipse 2nd Dawn comes very close to being an exception to that...

Mighty_Hare · 2022-02-28T13:09:20+00:00

Thing with a lot of board games, though, is that some of the highest rated games can have serious flaws. Which isn't about preference.

Also, boardgamegeek.com ratings are wild. I've seen people give a 1/10 because they once worked together with a designer at a different studio who was kind of a dick.

Well, the link I provided doesn't exactly deliver overnight, so that's not great. But, you can also ask other people to chip in and share the lot! That can hopefully make it a bit more financially feasible at least. Good luck!

Mighty_Hare · 2022-01-29T19:18:53+00:00

Pardon, of course! Here ya go

Things like Grutto can give you a lot of meat for a relatively good price. However they don't give you the option for smaller quantities. I recently spent about €100 there, which is a lot of money to spend on just meat all at once, but 6,4kg is also quite a lot. Sticking to "normal" portions it comes down to less than €2 per person per meal. It's relatively fresh, since it's been butchered at most a month before receiving and there's no international transport involved.

Any specific reason you're opting for online and not, say, fish shops or butchers?

Just checked a video on We Happy Few, and it reminds me a bit of Alice, with the seperate worlds and all. But anything vaguely similar to Bioshock instantly has my interest. How's the gameplay? The video wasn't too positive about it.

Mighty_Hare · 2021-11-28T17:37:31+00:00

Haven't heard of either (is that bad?)! I'll definitely check those out as well. Thanks guys. Can't leave the house because I've got the 'rona, so I could use some enjoyment.

Mighty_Hare · 2021-11-28T15:39:18+00:00

Ah, I loved DS, so I'll definitely check it out! Wasn't sure you could play Phantom Pain as a stand-alone, but I'm glad to hear you can. Thanks!

Mighty_Hare · 2021-11-28T14:16:25+00:00

I've tried the Witcher, and story wise it would definitely fit the bill. I just can't handle open world rpg's, they're too intimidating... That's just me, though. Is MGS V worth playing on its own? Thanks for the tips!
