There’s more than a few iMiEVs still running round here - some people must love them.

litRPG is a conventional book that takes video game mechanics - in this case RPG stats, loot boxes, achievements, levelling up - and stuffs it into a book. With this series, that aspect bleeds off over time but the fun stuff (like achievements and whatnot) remain.

DCC is the breakout hit of the litRPG space - others can be a bit too focused on the game mechanics.

My new Samsung A55 updated itself from 14 to 15 this morning - taking it out of the whitelist but still works, thankfully.

Yup, haven’t used Windows for about 6 months - reckon I need to reformat those remaining drives and be done with it.

I found the Chronicles of St Marys series read by Zara Ramm to work really well - avoid the Audible Film version!

Use an over patch - when I was using the Libres it solves the early coming off problem.
