I always appreciate when the game allows you to choose how far the camera is from your character, and when they let you pick if you want to play first of third person.

Yes! I almost always change a few of the buttons when I get the chance. Extra points if the game is nice enough to let you know when your changes conflict with other presets.

I live near a restaurant that has a sign on the side of the building that shows a zoomed in pair of eyes. Below the eyes it says “Fine, dine here!” as if the sign is just being passive aggressive and your patronage to the restaurant is really a nuisance. It’s so dumb, but every time I see it I can’t help but giggle!

I used to use a website called Lang-8. It’s not really for direct chats, but you write an entry and then natives can come and correct it for grammar and/or natural feel. I was never brave enough to do full on chats with natives, so that’s the best I have ^^;

The sub I miss the most is definitely GuysBeingDudes. It was just my type of humor and always gave me a good chuckle.

I am glad that there is a somewhat active community for uplifting news here though.

I just came across “palimpsest” for the first time recently too! It was while reading The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, by VE Schwab. It’s been a while since I had to look a word up, so it stuck in my mind, lol.

I had a hard time getting into that one. You’ll have to come back an update us after you’re done! I’d love to hear if you think it was a worthy read.

I want to read this sooo bad!! Ever since I read Spinning Silver, I’ve been eager to read more of her work. Have you read Spinning Silver? I’d be interested to know how it compares to Uprooted.
