  • I don’t use an e-reader, but I found a long time ago I prefer audio books to physical books.

    Its purely a comfort thing. I can read a lot faster than any audio book, but I just have a hard time finding a comfortable position to read a real book.

    Also the added benifit of listening in the car, while working, or falling alseep.

    The only times I find myself with a physical book is reading technical things like textbooks, or when I’m on a plane.



  • Cross through customs coming back from Mexico exhausted at early o’clock, my brother looks over at me all serious as says

    “Hey, quick, look shify!”

    I hardly have enough to to process what he said before I’m standing in front of a border patrol agent think “How the hell am I supposed to not look shifty, great, I’m sure now I do”.

    Every single time I go through a security check point now I hear my brothers voice in my head and I just know I look guilty of something.


  • North burbs right on border of Chicago. Also a fellow reddit refugee. Can’t believe how sad I was when baconreader stopped working, and my stubborn ass knew I’d walk away.

    So happy to have found Lemmy, and a midwest instance to boot.

    Still not sure how all this works, but it does more than fill the need of interesting screen time.

    In to skateboarding, snowboarding, motorcycles, gaming.

    Work as a systems programmer specializing in audio and video systems.


  • Not sure, but put me in the list. Programmer by trade, but used to create 3D models and textures back in the GTA3 and Vice city days for mods.

    Haven’t had a gaming PC on a long time, work always provided a better laptop then I could afford and shifted to consoles.

    Saving up for a proper machine after seeing what unreal 5 is all about, is to make my own skateboarding game.
