It's not a different screen in SMB1. After you hit the axe, Mario walks to the right and the screen scrolls until the castle is off screen, revealing Peach and the ending text. It's functionally just part of the level.

Blahaj has the same color scheme as the trans flag and is cute.

Aren't the main characters of the short story

Spoilerjust humans?

It seemed to me that they were the enemy the conquerers are scared of. The huge mystery that the first book ended with appeared to be resolved right there.

I'm reading Inhibitor Phase by Alastair Reynolds. Nearly done with the series. I'm enjoying how the books jump around in time, space, and genre while all living in a basic rule space. Kind of like a less scattered Cosmere.

Loved the first book, but the short story that came out after it made me mad. I really hope it didn't spoil the identity of the great enemy.

Formerly known as Experience Music Project (EMP).

Peggle is part of the realm of games that became mobile games after modern smartphones became a thing. Casual gameplay, short levels so you could play for a few minutes and leave, lots of levels that are essentially the same to give good playtime for the development cost. Just on a PC and without the whale hunting that microtransactions later brought.

Have you heard of Peglin? It is the basic gameplay of Peggle but with roguelite RPG elements.

I have the Libra 2 and love it. Nice thumb rail with page-turning buttons. Doesn't need jailbreaking to install KOReader or do whatever else I want.

Both Mistborn ages are really tight, making them easy reads. Intriguing magic, moving story, great characters.

Stormlight has all the same elements, but it lets every character have their own storyline. It's sprawling. It lets you see more sides of it.

Earthsea is beautiful. There aren't very many books, and they were written across 50ish years. They evolved with the genre, allowing readers a clear window into how we got to the modern works of Jordan, Sanderson, etc.

My situation was abnormal since I was running the procurement for food service at a zoo, so those photos were from my warehouse. It lets me joke about a level of organization basically no restaurant can have.

We'd have to run a BIB across the park when someone forgot to ask for it the night before, so not everything was paradise.
