This one is killing me as it is So So Good! Two intelligent guys dissect pop culture airport books and it’s both funny and serious and enlightening all at once. They go in depth and aren’t just in it to tear down authors. Although, they most definitely will if it is warranted.

Just listened to their take on The Four Hour Body and was in my bed giggling like a judgy idiot while my husband slept. Not so much comedy but a brilliant takedown of unintentionally funny experts.

Highly recommended, up there with Swindled but more laughs.

No spoilers here but I just wanted to post this because I don’t think I’ve ever seen a investigative pod nail a landing like this. This was such a weird story and the way it turns from weird to wild to scary throughout the season is so enjoyable. Even the use of the hotline was such a fun kick. I really want to talk about it so I hope other people have heard it too.

It’s an interview with a pain psychologist who talks about pain in general as well as chronic pain. It is very eye-opening and beneficial.

I’ve been using podcasts to fall asleep for about a year now, works way better than meditation apps or white noise for me bc my brain wont shut off without actual content to chase. But I’ve been cycling through the same 5-6 shows and need to refresh my rotation. What Im looking for: - Long form episodes, 1 hour minimum, ideally 2-4 hours - Calming narration, not two hosts arguing, not sensationalized, not loud - Actually interesting content, I dont want something boring on purpose - Subject matter can be pretty broad. I like history, biography, philosophy, power dynamics, organized crime, science history, etc - Preferably a single narrator, I find two host shows harder to sleep to Shows currently in my rotation: - Fall of Civilizations (perfect format but new eps come out twice a year) - Hardcore History (amazing but Carlins voice gets intense) - Casefile (great but after a while i run out of episodes) - The History of English Podcast (very underrated for …

I am old school and think of podcasts as audio only

Does anyone else notice this? I mostly listen to more comedic podcasts so maybe this a comedy thing. Like everyone can start off on equal footing, but the women will often get interrupted or jokingly roasted to the point of it being excessive or get left out of the conversation, and sometimes it builds up so it’s unnoticeable at first, but it becomes more and more noticeable as the podcast goes on. And sometimes I try to justify it that it’s not because she’s a woman, it’s because of her personality, but then it happens with other women on the same podcast. It’s happened on at least 3 separate podcasts I’ve listened to, it’s not an absolute rule, but it’s enough of a pattern that I’ve come to expect it, and find it annoying.

My boyfriend and I are on the longest, most mind-numbing drive of our lives and need something to listen to something completely out of left field. No music. We’re talking art, but specifically the beautifully unhinged kind: cringe, weird, wild, and gloriously entertaining. Audiobook or physical read, doesn’t matter. We’re open to everything shifters, vampires, billionaire CEOs, furry chaos, you name it. The trashier and more delightfully absurd, the better. Hard no on anything involving minors — everything else is fair game. Give us the full spectrum of degenerate literature.

I’ve fallen upon this kind of book recently where they have a silly or weird premise that sounds like it would be AI slop or throwaway pulp trash, but turns out to somehow be perfectly executed and well-written with deep philosophical themes and expertly crafted prose.

I just finished these three:

Sky Daddy - about a woman that has a romantic and sexual attraction to airplanes and hopes to die in a fiery plane crash. This novel is somehow incredibly well written and sincere

Paradise Logic - about a woman that decides to become the world’s best girlfriend at all costs. It ended up being a funny and excellent deep dive into gender roles and relationships.

One’s Company - about a woman that uses her lotto winnings to live inside a perfect recreation of a TV show set. It’s literary with perfect prose and explores trauma, identity, and healing.

Are there any other books like these that have a weird setup but are actually deep and well-crafted and not just …

I work at a library so people ask for recommendations a lot. A Black friend ask me if I could recommend a novel about Black women that didn’t include child sexual abuse or rape. I think of her every time I read a book about Black women. So far I haven’t found one that doesn’t have sexual abuse rape or lynching. I haven’t asked her but I’m assuming the topic of lynching wouldn’t be something she would want to read about in a novel. Can anyone make a recommendation? It doesn’t have to be a happy Disney story, it could have conflict at work or something.

I have a coworker who probably reads at a 7-8 grade level. They love to read but have a hard time finding a suitible book for adults with low-literacy skills. Help?

I’m looking for fiction (mayyyybe non-fiction) novels about families that span long periods of time. I like complex people that mean well but are flawed. doing their best, but at times their best isn’t good enough. very human, so hopeful in that way. nothing with the message that everything is meaningless. examples of what I wish I could read for the first time:

The Poisonwood Bible

Middlesex

I Know This Much is True

Homegoing

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

The Good Earth

Hey guys, I’m looking for a memoir written by a non-famous person, preferably someone who survived a crime, a turbulent life, a disaster. But I’m also open to reading any general memoir that you found interesting! Just looking for something to add to my kindle. Please let me know! Thanks in advance

I feel like my favourite games are always the ones I get borderline addicted to, and sink hundreds or even thousands of hours into. So I’m looking for a new game like that.

It’s important to me that:

• It’s singleplayer
• It’s 100% offline (no needing to login or connect to servers or anything like that, I want to be able to play it even if my internet is down)
• The hundreds/thousands of hours are for a single save, not across separate saves/runs

I did have a specific idea in mind (I was imagining something PoE ARPG like with infinite loot and endgame but with Stardew style farming/home base to go back to) but 1) idk if that exists, and 2) sometimes I get recommended a game that I never thought I’d be interested in and end up getting hooked - so screw it, I’m leaving it completely open to you guys what kind of genres and games you suggest.

So suggest away, any genre/style of game that fits the bill!

Also, old games are very much welcome too, …

I haven’t really been able to play much during the last 8 years, maybe just a handful of games here and there. Now I want to get back into gaming and experience something that feels genuinely fresh.

From my own short research, a lot of modern triple-A games seem to blur together. Many of them look like older games with much better graphics, but the gameplay feels very familiar. That’s not necessarily bad, but I’m looking for something that really feels new or especially impressive.

So I wanted to ask older gamers: which games from the last 10 years have stood out to you the most? Which ones felt innovative, surprising, or just really convincing in a way that made them memorable?

For reference, these genres are not for me: Visual novels Point and click adventures Racing games Fighting games like Tekken

Stealth game

Bullet hell

Games I plan to play

Bg3

Kenshi

Project zombie (<- this game is STILL in early access, I bought it d1 😭)

Rimworld

Hi all, I recently played through a bit of GOW 2018 and absolutely love being able to see the giant snake almost constantly. i have always been a sucker for huge things in games (preferably living things but i don’t discriminate) and would love to know of any games with other stuff like that in it. But, by massive i really mean enormous. For example, SOTC has some truly large big bosses, but the only ones that really fit the magnitude of what i am looking for is phalanx and maybee the final boss (forgot his name). i just want huge colossal things, the game quality doesn’t really matter, just the “spectacle” or reveal of said big thing. thank you all!!!

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for a game that really captures the bounty hunter fantasy, but not tied to a specific universe necessarily. Preferably something not too old but im open to listen to suggestion !

What I’m really looking for are systems and vibes like:

• A bounty board / contracts system where you pick targets
• A feeling of being part of a bounty hunting guild or faction
• Tracking down targets (bonus if there’s investigation, clues, or hunting mechanics)
• Freedom in how you approach missions (stealth, combat, planning, etc.)
• That lone hunter / Mandalorian-type vibe

It doesn’t have to be sci-fi — fantasy, western, or even something more grounded is totally fine. I care more about the gameplay loop and immersion than the setting.

Games I’ve already considered or tried (so no need to suggest these unless you think I’m missing something big):

• Red Dead Redemption 2 (bounties were cool but felt a bit limited)
• SWTOR (Really close but a bit too “old” for me)
• Skyrim with …

By obscure i don’t mean weird or scary games, by obscure i mean the most unknown game you know. I remember this chatroom game called “Worlds” that i found it extremely weird as a kid, but i played it quite alot.

All NSFW games I’ve played so far are from some dude in his garage making a hushed cash-grab.

Isn’t there anything actually developed by a serious team with a well rounded experience?

I’m not asking for triple A quality, just something that was well polished.

Works well for Shortcuts list icons.

I use the Apple 50th anniversary logo as an example(Figure 1).

After applying the Shortcut(Figures 2–7):

Was about to subscribe to HiHello when I realized everything they do could be a Shortcut. So I built one.

What it does: tap a widget, your QR business card (vCard) pops up full-screen. The other person scans it with their Camera, your contact saves to their phone as a vCard. No app install, works offline. Fully customizable — background, logo, fonts, layout.

Two themes:

🌑 Dark. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/f8f4f1f2767041afaba52f794a1c078a

🌕 Light. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/0d6eca428c77441eab8585dbf97f17e7

Full README with setup walkthrough, customization details, and the design spec are all in the README:

I added shortcuts to the currency converter and it can scan price tags with camera.

The problem is: I can only add 10 app intents (actions) to the app for the shortcut usage.

If you’re interested in the currency conversion feature in shortcuts, I can give you lifetime access to the Pro features of the app and you’ll try the shortcuts and give me your feedback on what works well, what doesn’t work at all and new ideas (especially welcomed).

What it does:

• Scans price tags via camera for instant conversion.
• Works in real-time as you move your phone. 📷
• Supports 166 global currencies.
• Works offline, even somewhere deep in a supermarket. 🏪
• Cart mode (add items to the cart, so you won’t be surprised at the checkout)

How to claim lifetime access:

1. Download the app by the link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/currency-converter-converty/id6759520648
2. Open the app, go to Menu, scroll to the bottom. Tap on the text “App Version” 10 times and you’ll …

A tool for installing custom “apps” on your home screen via configuration profiles, including custom naming and icons.

It supports both static and dynamic modes. For static apps, you can use data URLs or direct HTML (note: no persistent storage or redirects here). For a more robust experience, you can use Cloudflare Workers (or similar) to implement a dynamic app with persistent storage, or just wrap any “https” URL.

Apps can be exported as mobileconfig files or encoded as data URLs for easy sharing.

This is my first time attempting to create a shortcut. I don’t understand why I am getting the errors I am getting. I have updated python, and this command {yt-dlp –extract-audio -x –audio-format mp3 –audio-quality 0 “Text”} works normally in terminal. Any help is much appreciated.

I need some insight here from the great and wise.

I have (had?) a Shortcut that’s been running reliably for years. It creates a Daily Note at 07:00 every day from an automation.

It gets the weather, essentially, so I end up with something like this:

Today at 07:00 in redacted.
It is currently 9°C, feels like 2°C.
High will be 19°C, low will be 7°C.
There is a 0% chance of precipitation. Sunrise at 05:42, sunset at 20:23.

I might add to that note throughout the day, then the contents are manually added to the Journal app at the end of the day.

Except, even though the automation is running, and the Note is created every day, the Shortcut has gone. I’ve checked on all devices and it’s completely gone.

I now have another Automation that backs up my Shortcuts daily, but the horse has bolted.

Anyone have any insight on this? Seems like with every OS update something breaks in Shortcuts.
