Shure SM58 going through an Audient ID4 audio interface. Pretty plug and play.

Oh don't feel bad, my personal favorite and most expensive is my Pilot Custom 823. It holds a ton of ink and the nib is amazing

I think I should look into getting some red or orange inks as well.

Mordhau. Terrible toxic community, developers that cater only to the super hard core players. Content droughts.. Yet I somehow stuck 500+ hours on it. Playing the lute was nice though.

I've been having the most luck recently sorting by "top for 6 hours" and so on.

Other than the Ted Stevens series of tube quote, was is this from for the uninitiated?

Of course, and if you really like his stuff, I would follow his adage, "Books are made out of other books", and start reading McCarthys inspirations. Melville, Faulkner, and Flannery O'Connor among many others.

Starmaker and First and Last Men were truly ahead of their time with the ideas they explored. I would even go to say it explored a great many of the basal Sci fi conventions that exist today. It is especially impressive because it's nearly one hundred years ago that they were written.

Hey, Howdy MHCat!

I read a mix of ebooks and physical books. Usually the choice is determined by the type of book. For example, usually more genre fiction gets an ebook, whereas more so called "literary fiction" gets a physical copy.

For example I've picked up House of Leaves at a local independent bookstore, along with the Molloy books by Beckett and the Norton Annotated Moby Dick. I don't think house of leaves would work at all as an ebook and heavily annotated items I prefer a physical copy.

Alas I am running out of bookshelf space so I have to be much more selective these days. As for finding books, it's usually word of mouth or on storygraph. I also follow the book youtube Leaf by Leaf whom I can thoroughly recommend.

The ebooks I prefer on eink devices, for portability I have a Kobo and for notetaking or needing a bigger screen I have a supernote A5X

Plus Geeko is the cutest mascot!

I dual boot OpenSuse and Windows. Windows being the main installation. I think I may try to go full AMD next build and main OpenSuse the main installation. I just need to get used to DarkTable instead of Lightroom since thats been the only think shackling me to Windows thus far.
