If we don't defederate from the outset I'm just gonna join another instance that did. I didn't sign up for Lemmy because I wanted fucking twitter.

Smash Mouth were always the heroes we deserved, but not the ones we needed...

I'm reading all the footnotes, although admittedly somewhat glossing over the ones which are purely citations, making reference to other books/magazines which may or may not even exist. I still try and read their titles though as they sometimes give a little insight to underlying themes.

The only thing I'm not doing it skipping about within the book itself, like where it says to check an appendix for more info - I figure I'll get to those bits in due course, and don't want to break-up the flow too much, or inadvertently lose my page ๐Ÿ˜…

Whether or not that's the "right" way to go about things, I couldn't say.

What I'm struggling with so far is that the language itself can be quite tricky in places (mostly the main body of text discussing the Navidson Record so far), and when Johnny's sprawling footnotes start getting a bit nonsensical. Neither points are huge issues - you just have to pay attention with the former, and roll with the latter - but they do have me re-reading the same sentence over again in places where I'm trying to keep up ๐Ÿ˜…

As I say, enjoying it so far, but you've got to really engage.

I'm literally reading it for the first time at the moment - about 100 pages in.

So far it's very intriguing, and I'm sure all the best is yet to come. It's presentation and structure alone is compelling.

That being said, I'd be slow to recommend it so far. It's nigh impenetrable in some parts ๐Ÿ˜…

What's everyone's preference at the moment?

I've been using Jerboa since I migrated and it's been great.

Installed Liftoff today, but it seems less polished at the moment, though admittedly I've not yet had a chance to dive into the features properly.

Haven't yet touched thunder.

I bought a gorgeous set of black metal dice with gold numbers, with a mindflayer theme.

Can't read them for shit when actually playing.

I then proceed to buy a big bag of about 8 individual, basic sets with nice big numbers. They usually end up getting shared out to the group each session now ๐Ÿ˜…

I'm patiently waiting for someone (anyone) I know to decide to throw out an old laptop.

Gonna bite their hand off for it, install Linux and proceed to fuck around and find out.

Black Bishop (very bottom right corner) takes White Bishop?

I'm on a complete blackout for this game, and have been since the reveal trailer.

Can't wait!

I'm using the Jerboa app which has a dark mode. It's a good experience so far.
