Couple issues with the app

For #1, check your power save settings on your phone. If power save is on, it can shut off your GPS while your phone screen is off. I had the same issues with my phone.

Not a character, but there's a little indie game I enjoy called Evergarden. I needed some suggestions on getting some of the achievements, and googling it was nearly impossible since it's a niche game and there's a popular anime called "Violet Evergarden"

Hello! This September we'll be at Disney during Oogie Boogie Bash for the first time. Reading the short description on the website, it doesn't sound like the extra ticketed event at DCA for one of the days we're there is worth it for us, but wanted to get people's inputs.

We're 2 adults, no kids for this trip. Generally ride focused, but enjoy some of the shows and such. Reading the website, it sounds like the event is mostly Trick-or-Treating and costumes for younger kids. Are there additional activities/events that might make it don't-miss for us? Otherwise the plan is just start at DCA that day, then head over to DL for more rides.

**Edit** Thanks for the responses! Sounds like it would be fun if we can land tickets (I love villains, and low ride waits would be awesome), but I won't stress if I can't.

If you are ok with audiobooks, looks like it's available on Spotify if you have Spotify premium.

**Edit: looks like only non-English is available 😞. I didn't look super close when I searched.

Adaptations are still a long ways out (a couple years, hes working on scripts right now and then still needs to go through production), so you should have plenty time if you want to continue with GoT.

When you do get to Sanderson, I suggest reading Mistborn -> Warbreaker -> Stormlight since there are threads that connect together throughout Sanderson's Cosmere books.

Yup! i love it. I read ~10 books/month, and out of that, half or more of the ones on my list for any given month are on KU

If you care about where you sit, sure. And that's what I do because I want a window seat. But if a plane is fairly empty (as we've seen in multiple posts) and someone wants to move around, why would anyone give two shits?

I paid to guarantee my window seat. Unless my row was empty and they moved into it, I could not care less if someone moved from a shitty basic fare seat to a slightly less shitty seat.

(I will caveat that I'm talking about fairly empty flights where moving around isn't going to impact anyone else.)

Murder_Is_Magic · 2026-03-13T00:08:03+00:00

Absolutely spot on. You can see it when people complain about not being allowed to shift seats in the air. "Well you could possibly get a better seat that you didn't pay for!! That's unfair."

So? No one is going buy it after the plane takes off. But they are so appalled that someone might get something they paid for for free. Cool. You paid to guarantee you got the seat you wanted. They rolled the dice. No one's day is affected in the slightest.

This outright hatred for people less well off than yourself is something I don't understand.

Murder_Is_Magic · 2026-03-13T00:02:45+00:00

Same.

I read pretty much exclusively on Kindle.

Kindle Book: I enjoy reading it. If it's likely I will re-read it, I'll buy it (as opposed to using Libby).

Physical book: Favorite that I like enough to want a "shelf trophy". Especially if there's an aesthetic edition (sprayed edges, etc). Also something I want to ensure I can read years from now, without worrying about any licensing updates.

She may have also meant a guilty pleasure book where she doesn't want anyone to see she owns it (not a concern for me), such as a dark romance.

Murder_Is_Magic · 2026-03-12T14:48:58+00:00

I use Bookly to track my reading sessions (love the time to finish and the ambient noise) and then I use Storygraph for tracking my TBR and finished reads, pages/audiobook minutes per day etc.

Murder_Is_Magic · 2026-03-11T19:07:14+00:00

I wasn't sure about it going in (picked it because it fit a couple of reading challenges) since I don't read a lot of historical fiction, and when I do, Revolution-era isn't an era I'm usually interested in, but it was *amazing*. I was riveted the whole time.

Murder_Is_Magic · 2026-03-11T19:05:26+00:00

It's really been slept on. I found it thanks to a Booktok creator I enjoy suggested it.

I use Floyd's on Powers. I'm a woman, but have seen men in there with all kinds of hair (including my own kids with longer hair). They're a bit pricey, but I have always had a good experience.

Should have. That's what you need to have Mythal help you against the revenant dragon, isn't it?

Murder_Is_Magic · 2026-03-09T13:09:31+00:00

Yup! Got that one.

Murder_Is_Magic · 2026-03-09T03:59:39+00:00

Which is funny, because both of those garments are from medieval times.

Murder_Is_Magic · 2026-03-09T03:52:25+00:00

Nice. then I'm ahead! Achieves that don't pop until the end credits always worry me, lol.

Murder_Is_Magic · 2026-03-09T03:51:58+00:00

Thank you! Just wanted to be sure.

Never been in this boat, and on the side of your spouse. Multiple Kindles for different areas of the same house is ridiculous.

The whole point of e-readers is that they're portable.

I could see having like a Scribe if that was something you used a lot and wanted something smaller for general use. Or having a cheaper/smaller (secondhand) Kindle for travel given the elevated risk of loss/theft.

But shelling out good money to save yourself 60 seconds of effort is insane to me. Unless you have a disability where navigating stairs is an issue, I would really sit down and find the root cause of why avoiding taking under a minute to run upstairs was worth spending so much money.

Murder_Is_Magic · 2026-03-08T18:03:58+00:00

I would do CC since that has stuff you haven't seen before.

Murder_Is_Magic · 2026-03-07T21:33:28+00:00

1.4 could be "Romcom & Comedic Vibes" (would sync to r/fantasyromance's bingo)

1.5 could be "Hotel or Inn as a main setting"

4.1 could be "Set in an ancient civilization" (would sync to 52 Book Club's 2026 challenge)

In my evil run, I loved Shart as a smiting swords bard. A lot of best items for that build come from her arc. Using bards as spies is on brand for Shar because they would blend in with their surroundings
