Time to shill CrossCode again :)

I think the characters are phenomenally written and the plot is fun and has excellent ups and downs.

Good to know! I’ll add it to the ever growing list

Is the rest of the series good? I read the first one and thought it was pretty good but a reasonably well wrapped up story by the end

Book 4 is a bit slow but it picks up a lot after that.

That said don’t feel obligated to read something that Doesn’t interest you of course

Pain to me is not really that important a metric. Figure out where you think it’ll bring you the most joy. Most of mine are reasonably visible and I’m very glad for it. Tattoos are much less stigmatized than before.

As for durability, as long as you take good care of it while it heals and you wear sun screen after, most places other than hands and feet will likely do well. Less sun the better but that makes them hard to look at most of the time.

I use semimak mainly but use qwerty often and I feel like there’s no problem with using both at all. This is just my experience though. When I first learned Dvorak and dropped qwerty I completely lost qwerty but it came back really easily later when I started using it more

Reading “suck it in and smile” in French to try to get some vocab back after letting my French rust in a ditch for a few years. Enjoying reading French and seeing the spellings of words I used regularly.

That said the story is quite underwhelming with some key points that aren’t much of Anything new. Its very short though and easy enough to read despite the language so I’ll finish it up soon and move on to a more interesting story

I think I’ve heard of people putting custom images on kobos but I Don’t know too much about it. I’m just using stock kobo and not connecting it to the internet and it’s been great for me

I’ve seen your comments about reading digital media but if you can get an eink screen (kobo, amazon paper white, etc) it Doesn’t feel like a screen at all. Then you can look up words right there. Ive started doing it every once in awhile as a native English speaker since its so convenient.

That said I’m gonna start picking up French again (hopefully) and that’s gonna be tough because my vocabulary was always lacking in French and I haven’t really read anything in French in years.

I hope you enjoy crooked kingdom. I really liked both books. All the characters are so cool :)

Haven’t had any issues with purely mail myself. I really like it

I’m getting more into using logseq. I like it fairly well. It’s not quite comfortable on mobile though so I’m sticking to obsidian there for the time being.
