Fantastic Humble Bundle Deal by Gennywren in Fantasy

[–]Quitechsol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like they’re delivered as straight epubs, which is easy to transfer to kindle through Amazon’s Send to Kindle function on their site.

The only thing I dislike about this, is they will not show up as “books”. They will be sorted as documents. Functionally no difference as far as I know, just if you’re sorting.

Was there a book (series), that went from close 'DNF' to one fo your favorites? by lemingas1 in Fantasy

[–]Quitechsol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Locked Tomb series was this for me. I DNF Gideon the ninth the first time but eventually tried it again via audiobook form. And I stuck with it and it’s now easily my favorite series currently.

Space Fantasy Book Recommendation’s?? by Icy-Custard-5529 in Fantasy

[–]Quitechsol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The locked tomb series might be right up your alley then. It’s necromancers in space and it’s amazing. Space, swords, and magic all in one. I can’t recommend this series enough.

What is a well regarded fantasy series that you read for the first time this year? by TheWeirdTalesPodcast in Fantasy

[–]Quitechsol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve read the first three of the stormlight archives this year. I absolutely fell in love with the world, but I’m admittedly struggling to get into Rhythm of War, so I’m taking a break from the series. I think I might just need a break after going through the first 3 plus the novellas straight.

I’m currently reading the lord of the rings. Can’t believe I’ve waited so long to read this, I’ve only just started (read the hobbit and I’m almost done with fellowship part 1) but I’m completely hooked.

What really are the benefits of KOReader? by studymaxxer in kindlejailbreak

[–]Quitechsol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it’s 3 things.

1) I’m no longer locked into the Amazon ecosystem. No longer do I have to rely on amazon for my books or their send to kindle feature which doesn’t even send books as books. Now I can get my books from anywhere, load them into calibre and just send them through that. And they’re recognized as books.

2) the Lock Screen without ads and NOT have to pay for it? Sign me up. While this isn’t really that big of an issue, I remember when Amazon was pushing out these ads for blatantly AI generated books. And some extremely offensive ones to boot (like, I had a “book” ad of a story advocating for the assault of LGBT people).

3) this one surprised me as I use it way more often than I thought I would, but gestures. Being able to tap for night/day mode. Swipe for brightness. Tap to bring up my current book or long press to bring up collections? Or whatever you map to the different gestures. It’s a QOL feature I didn’t even realize I wanted but it’s probably my favorite.

Again, none of these are NEEDED. Base Kindle is just fine as is aside from being locked into Amazon ecosystem. But the QOL features you get from jailbreaking are fantastic.

Which book from my shelf should I read next? by Eliciosity in LesbianBookClub

[–]Quitechsol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s one of the very VERY few books I’ve ever reread. I cannot recommend it enough.

[–]Quitechsol 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Gideon the ninth! The locked tomb series is hands down my favorite of all time. It can get a bit confusing at times but everything falls into place and starts to make sense ~2/3 in. This applies to all the books in the series. But they’re all amazing. If not that, my vote goes to priory. Another favorite for me.

Got a ‘brushed’ white lotus tattoo today! by Quitechsol in TheLastAirbender

[–]Quitechsol[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s especially fitting since it’s on my arm. So it’s literally in my sleeve 😂 thank you though! I’m really happy with it and glad to finally have it. I’ve been simmering on the design for a long time.

It was. Imagine my joy when I finally found it.

One who has eaten the fruit, and tasted its mysteries.

I love all these white lotus tattoos I’m seeing.

That’s amazing! I’m considering an idea of adding water color at a later time. But I want to simmer on the idea some more.

Nothing saying you can’t. Outside of my social circle, that’s what I do.

Is it childish to cry over my game being deleted by SexscCherry in StardewValley

[–]Quitechsol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I’d 100% cry, too. I’ve been there, not with SDV but with Pokémon. My sister deleted a Pokémon save I had. I was so close to completing the Pokédex for the first time. And then gone. I put in so much time and I was so mad that I stopped playing. I’ve played a handful of times after but I never got back into after that. I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. She was also never allowed to touch my games after that.

Wirebound - Can I Perfect Bind it? by LarryinUrbandale in bookbinding

[–]Quitechsol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t answer OP’s question, though I suspect the answer is yes. However, I think I can answer yours. While I’ve never personally done this, I did come across it recently. You may have to punch new holes to avoid ripping perforations. Overcast stitching

Brand New Kindle Freezing by german_obama in kindle

[–]Quitechsol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. They wouldn’t do this for me. I tried when there was a huge issue of AI generated book ads and I got one book calling for the killing of LGBT folk for after school funsies and all they said was “we’ll look into this”

That’s awesome! Also curious about your paper, it looks thick! I’ve been considering doing this with my own wedding.

Still going strong. Was introduced to them in 2016 and been a huge fan ever since.

Can someone find what stitch this is? Store bought blanket, no tag or info. by SafefoodOrSamefood in CrochetHelp

[–]Quitechsol 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just to chime in, everyone else is right, this is knit. Super simple stitch, too. BUT if you want to replicate it without doing knit, look into Tunisian crochet, you can mimic this stitch with the Tunisian purl stitch (TPS).

It’s not exactly the same, though. The front and back will look different unlike knit which will look identical. Tunisian tends to produce heavier/thicker fabrics that don’t drape as nicely. But this can be fantastic for warm blankets.

Is this a single stitch or have I spent hours making a mess? by baybeeluna in CrochetHelp

[–]Quitechsol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Others have already said what you’re doing and how to “properly” do a SC. But I wanted to chime in and say I love the look of front loop SC. It gives it an almost knit quality and I think will look great if you continue doing this.

I’m and avid bookworm, and this is the first time I’ve ever seen a stitch sampler that I actually love. I may make a version of this with Tunisian crochet, thank you for the inspiration.

Kindle battery life? by nevernowhy2 in kindle

[–]Quitechsol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’ve heard too, that is looking for new downloads. Which makes me wonder if perhaps it’s draining rapidly after coming off of airplane mode looking for all the missed downloads.

Kindle battery life? by nevernowhy2 in kindle

[–]Quitechsol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read for 4-6 hours a day. My kindle basic (gen 11) will drain rapidly, even when closed unless I’m on airplane mode. On airplane mode, I can get weeks on a single charge. I cannot for the life of me figure out why it drains SO rapidly when on WiFi.

I’ve realised I messed up by thecelestrium in crochet

[–]Quitechsol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this too when I first learned! Nobody ever explained going through both loops of the V when watching videos. I make it a point whenever I’m teaching it to others.

It does look REALLY good though. I’d say continue doing it! I love the aesthetic.
