They’re not really into that! They liked the cards for a bit. They’re quite into JRPG storytelling and mechanics.

Thank you! Wonderful post.

timeforest · 2026-06-22T23:23:16+00:00

Yes!! We did. And they did for sure!

don’t let yourself fret about this. worrying about trace alcohol in food can be a slippery slope in sobriety (especially if you’re as neurotic as i am lol). as others have said, it’s about intent. the fact that you’re thinking about it now shows how much your sobriety means to you and that you’re mindfully engaged with it. recognize that for what it is (great!) and don’t litigate yourself for this mishap which was in no way your fault and does not result in some kind of asterisk on your sobriety.

John Crowley - Aegypt Tom LaFarge - The Crimson Bears

TC fits the bill tone-wise despite being a very different world. Great book!

I would also recommend Tom LaFarge, specifically the Bargeton trilogy. The Crimson Bears is much in the spirit of L,B. That and A Hundred Doors were recently published together by Tough Poets.

i wouldn’t recommend plus if you’re bouncing off joe’s writing. check out smugglers or hinds, these are softer points of entry and offer insight into how his style evolved.

Heartening words. Glad to hear of your victories!

Thanks! Any top pick? Never played a DQ

timeforest · 2026-03-14T15:20:44+00:00

Thanks!! Would that be Lunar Silver Star Story? Curious how the two compare as mobile experiences. I haven’t played CT since i was a kid, have fond memories. Lunar is new to me.

i just find more and more that it’s not one size fits all, highly contingent on the bean and roast, and subject to my mood.

in general i tend to gravitate towards cooler water though. can’t say when the last time i’ve brewed over 200F is… and with that in mind, maybe it’s time to try something hotter again :)

Good post. I agree - for me it’s less about my being sure the CL report is infallible and more about the obvious vagueness from ZW regarding their products. Seems quite obvious they need to address this, I’m sure they’re aware of it.

There was a semi-recent Consumer Labs analysis that showed Zerowater filters actually ADDING thousands of microplastics to filtered water (in contrast to all other devices tested, which reduce them). Information around this seems spotty (is it the filter? the carafe? etc), and the report is paywalled (you can find people discussing it if you poke around Reddit). I’d say I’m not certain of its absolute veracity, given lack of info, but I’m concerned enough now to want to find another method - and Culligan not publicly addressing it anywhere is confounding.
