Update: bought a DRMed book on bookshop.org to try it out and see. For now at least, it is only possible to read it on their website, or in the bookshop app on a smartphone. I hope they get kobo integration figured out soon, because the app is not really a pleasant reading experience.

Oh perfect, this is just in time for me to get laid off and not use Jira anymore!

Imagining the voices Mel would do for each of these…

What are the enchantment/glyph? I'm currently doing a corruption priest run, and I've found that the double sunray combo (to blind and then paralyze) works well for stacking debuffs before using the wand of corruption

Someone asked Patrick Stewart about this once, and he said that in the 24th century, no one would care about baldness anymore

It would be cool if we get to hear from the version of the Doctor that was in "Living Witness." I think the timeframe would be about right.

Wish the Onion wasn't out here giving them ideas…

I've always dropped the censer before entering shops because I was afraid this would happen

He's not as bad (yet, at least). But Hitler didn't have access to a gigantic nuclear arsenal, so Trump has the potential to do way more damage

Sensationalist headline-writer: "These researchers are neutrally investigating language change? Let's throw 'fear' in there to get up the prescriptivists' hackles!"

You do gain hunger slower in a garden, so if you have to sleep to heal, it's a better place than just out in the dungeon. Other than that, I find it useful for the assassin to build up turns of preparation without spending cloak charges or potions/scrolls; just remember to turn on your cloak before you leave or it all goes to waste.

I do the same, I just wish my library had digital copies of all the books on my bookshelf! I have had luck using the same method to strip the DRM from an epub I bought from Kobo's shop, but I don't know if it would work with bookshop.org. I'd like to be able to support local bookstores, but their current model just doesn't work for me.
