Been reading the latest Black Company book, and I can really see Glen Cook's innerweeb grow. 25 years ago (Real time. Not book time), the Black Company was last seen moving to fantasy Tibet. Now every other new character has a Japanese name with "no" (with the n being lower case) as their middle name.
1 hour after writing this comment, I got bombarded by a bunch of new chinese names. So Glen remembers that other parts of Asia do exist.

Although I am a bit unusual since I didn't get introduced to the Black Company series through the books, but a WarCraft III custom campaign based off of the first book. I liked it's income system.

no, what happened is the following Pika thinks "everyone is here. I will post this." He then types the first part of his message. However he then thinks "wait, what if the full cast is not actually here?" So he places his eye cursor on the leftmost figure and begins to verify one by one left to right that each member of the cast is there. But he wants to save his memory since he has a lot of other things on his mind, so he decides that he'll forget each character's name after he recognizes it, and instead just remember how many of the cast members appeared. When his eye seeks to the end and verifies the last character, he knows that the whole cast is there because the number he counted is the same as the cast size. But there's a problem... Because he didn't remember the names of each one, he doesn't know what to write in the message! He thinks "I COULD return my eye cursor to the beginning, and then go from left to right and write the name of each character. BUT, then I would end up moving twice the amount..." He realizes that in order to best preserve the number of uses of his eyes, which can only traverse a fixed number of degrees in their lifetime, it's more efficient to instead write the name of the characters in reverse order starting from his current position at the right.

I think this is a fascinating read: https://a.co/d/8kMCuEk It's more of a personal story, it's fascinating. The writer was a Peace Corps volunteer for Uzbekistan for 3 months before he got culture shock and pleaded to go home, and then some years later, he decided to go back and visit the friends he made. The book is half history and half a travel blog. If you enjoy the travel blogs from mattlakeman.org then this book is a much more in-depth version of those blogs.
Chasing the Sea

In 1996, Tom Bissell went to Uzbekistan as a na•ve Peace Corps volunteer. Though he lasted only a few months before illness and personal crisis forced him home, Bissell found himself entranced by this remote land. Five years later he returned to explore the shrinking Aral Sea, destroyed by Soviet...

I read the book Dignity: https://www.amazon.com/Dignity-Seeking-Respect-Back-America/dp/0525534733 It's a brutal book about the towns in middle America that got completely destroyed by the east/west coasts once the factories and mills got off-shored to be a little cheaper.
Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America

After abandoning his Wall Street career, Chris Arnade decided to document poverty and addiction in the Bronx. He began interviewing, photographing, and becoming close friends with homeless addicts, and spent hours in drug dens and McDonald's. Then he started driving across America to s...

I editorialized it for sure, but that's the gist of what happens. He interviews hookers, homeless people, drug addicts, etc. in the worst of the worst places and asks general questions like what you want in life and what your plans are.

For another book, I read this a while ago. But Endurance was an absolutely amazing read: https://a.co/d/33xFgcp and my end goal in model kits is to build that ship
Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Basic Books

In August 1914, polar explorer Ernest Shackleton boarded the and set sail for Antarctica, where he planned to cross the last uncharted continent on foot. In January 1915, after battling its way through a thousand miles of pack ice and only a day's sail short of its destination, the became...

And right now I'm reading the short stories by Algernon Blackwood like The Willows and The Wendigo. I think those are the most popular short stories.
Algernon wrote a journal about him canoeing the Danube, which directly inspired The Willows. I think this was a fascinating read. It felt like a blog post but from 1900: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/MacMillan%27s_Magazine/Down_the_Danube_in_a_Canadian_Canoe

Kribbles, this is not really a military history book, which I tend to not recommend (even though it's a lot of what I read) You might like https://www.worldofbooks.com/products/my-reminiscences-of-east-africa-book-paul-emil-von-lettow-vorbeck-9780857064189
My Reminiscences of East Africa

The legendary German general of the bush war in Africa For many the Great War means the Western Front, that gruelling, slogging stalemate of attrition that was the mud and blood of trench warfare. Yet this was truly a 'world war' fought between nations, many of whom were imperial powers with footholds, interests or col

Currently reading “There is no Antimemetics Division”, an SCP story that was turned into an independent book. It’s quite interesting so far. If you haven’t heard of SCP before I’d recommend that too, it’s a nice mix of silliness, sci fi and horror

That's funny, I heard about this from somewhere else recently and read all of the SCP stories. Didn't know it was an independant book. It was a very good read though.

All I know about SCP is it got overrun by weirdo's who use it for their gender euphoria or weird fetish shit
I feel it was a lot better in the in between period of not just guys from 4chan, but not whatever it is they are today

I feel like I vaguely remembered hearing about it before too but I saw it in barnes and noble yesterday and picked it up because I remembered it was based on scp

Yeah, I still think some of the newer stuff is good too I just think changing old articles because the author ended up being like, transphobic or something is a little needless for something like that

Although there were also some deleted because they were pedophiles and I think that’s probably a good idea so, lol
ehhh unless the content itself is pedophiliac in nature, I still disagree with removing it
Wuvwand food-and-pet-pix
Considering scp is specifically marked as creative commons or whatever and you can’t make money off it unless you change names and things like antimemetics did, yeah there’s not much need to care if scp gets “canceled” anyway
