I started the writing in English primarily, translating to Portuguese during edit phase, aiming to keep the reading flow around the same level. However, the best experience will be reading it in English, in my opinion, as it has a better vocabulary for this genre.

EXAPUNK - 50% - 96% Positive

If you like old time puzzle games, and have a pinch for programming, then you will love this. In this game you control bots by creating algorithms to extract data and other challenges. The cool part is you must study the game language and learn the lore from manuals and magazines that the game provides.

SHENZHEN I/O - 50% - 93% Positive

From the same creator of EXAPUNK, only the thematic here is electronics.

Road 96 - 50% 91% Positive

Summer 1996, Today is the day! You hit the road. Adventure. Freedom. Escape. Run. Flee the Regime. Try to survive.

On this risky road trip to the border, you’ll meet incredible characters, and discover their intertwined stories and secrets in an ever-evolving adventure. But every mile opens up a choice to make. Your decisions will change your adventure, change the people you meet, maybe even change the world.

There are a few books I like to relive every now and then. For me, it’s a guilty pleasure, to be honest. Wish I could do it more often, and for more books.

The ones that come to mind are Little Brother, by mr. Doctorow, Sandman by mr. Gaiman (mostly the Death chapters) and… Let’s see… Ah, yes, Neuromancer, because I’m a sucker for mainstream books, and that’s the one that got me through life.

The spreadsheet.

Always start with the spreadsheet, and go uo from there!

I only use the web UI, jerboa didn’t click with me. The only issue I have with it s that collapsing comments can be tricky.

I think the plan should be bracing for impact, and how to deal with the after-effect. Because let’s be honest, we are in a late stage capitalism, and Meta megacorp will get what it wants.

I don’t currently see it spilling it’s poison to Lemmy/kbin. I’m hopeful rather, but I may be misunderstanding how the fediverse works.

But for mastodon, I would say the outcome is a segregation, as it’s safe to assume that communities that integrate wirh Meta will be consumed. Unfortunately that likely means starting from scratch, with a even nichier community, as far as I can see. Not exactly from nothing, but content loss will be inevitable, which is the Fediverse greatest weakness imho.

Finally finished with Pattern Recognition, William Gibson. It was… nice, it definitely felt like Gibson was uncomfortable writing in the present tense.

Next up is a Brazillian book, As águas-vivas não sabem de si by Aline Valek

Well, I think that if it is done in a tasteful manner, that is, not flooding the community with posts, there is no issue with posting you blog or just copy-pasting here, if you prefer.

Keeping in mind that this is a specific community for original shortform and longform writing, stories, worldbuilding, and other stuff of that nature.
