Since I'm getting a lot of new follows

LET IT BE KNOWN THAT

- I do not follow back automatically unless we're already friends
- empty accounts do not get a follow you gotta use your acct
- more likely to follow a stranger who I have positive interactions with

Don't feel stupid, but also, if someone helpfully tells you "that's fake," the correct response is "oh shit, let me delete this" not doubling down and disabling comments.

Don’t feel stupid if you fell for fake video. It can be really hard to tell these days. But we do have to try and be careful with what we share because there’s so much AI video out there.

It’s just the world we live in now.

If Baldur's Gate 3 made Withers look like this, the game would've sold a million copies by now smh

On the left side of the image, the text says "designed with gamers in mind"

Below is the screenshot of Withers with a pair of boobs from the "Withers Big Naturals" mod.

On the right side the text says "Designed with Activists in Mind"

Below is the screenshot of just normal Witchers from Baldur's Gate 3.

Oh, I get it. It's called Castlevania because it's a metroidvania set in a castle!

2 multirolls for foreigner koyanskaya. did not get her. did not get anything that I'm not going to immediately burn. :|

When it was going to end at 3 it was bearably long. When it was no longer going to end at 3 I was like "this is too much I am done"

But the author is an experienced romance author, so it's just technically more solid than all the new debuting romantasy authors

I feel like I might have to block Phil for the rest of the month >_>

I hate to say it but honestly Fourth Wing has been the best of them. But I dropped off when book 3 was not the ending to the trilogy.

kt @bobthetrout.bsky.social · 16h

Yeah! Like there's a bunch of stuff I libby when I go through the bookstore and go HMMM I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THIS ONE. And sometimes it's a run of terrible romantasies that had fancy covers at the bookstore and I'm like "I need something better" and then it is time for my physical TBR pile to save me

kt @bobthetrout.bsky.social · 16h

I am rationing them! I haven't read Mamoths at the Gate yet! It's for an emergency!

(emergency = I need to read something better than what I've been getting on libby lmao)

Reminder that the text in the White Bitch Forest isn’t a font, it’s just the unfortunate handwriting of the designer behind the logo that no one seemed to notice LOL

I haven't actually read City of Bones! I got it confused with the novel of the same name by the infamous HP fandom plagiarist. But it's on my library list to get around to. But like every book printed after City of Bones and before murderbot was "author of City of Bones" lol

kt @bobthetrout.bsky.social · 17h

I'm just like "I kiiiiiiiiiind of remember, like I remember who the traitor was but the details...gotta brush up"

Not going to do a reread but probably just skim through the last bit to refresh lol

he's just the punk rock of country singers *nod*

kt @bobthetrout.bsky.social · 17h

Well I mean there was Roy Rogers back when Johnny Cash was starting out, but Cash was hella punk in comparison to that type of country cowboy lmao

Her eyes are too bad for books anymore, so she's just gotta get the smells from mine I guess lmao

I think I might need to look back at Witch King a bit before I start this because I read it right when it came out and it has Been A While(tm)

kt @bobthetrout.bsky.social · 17h

For most of the time I have known about her she has been author of City of Bones lmao

Like murderbot is SUCH a departure from what I knew about her stuff
