I really wish there were more viable alternatives to Youtube, but since so many peoples' livelihoods rely on having the largest audience possible, they're pretty much forced to use YouTube.

Imaginary Characters was always a big source of inspiration for me while writing. Glad to see them exploring the transition to Lemmy / kbin
I only read the first in the series (though I've heard the whole series is great), but I was really surprised by how much I liked All Systems Red. Really entertaining quick read.
As far as the wider world is concerned, there's not much of a difference between a pre recorded event and a recording of a live event. We watched for the announcements, and those are going to come out with or without E3
I've been playing the GameCube original on Steam Deck and Can confirm it's a perfect game for the system
To expand a bit on point 1 - you won't truly know what you are until you try. I wanted desperately to be a pantser, wrote a terrible novel, and hated every moment of it. Then I tried planning and I'm having a much better time.
I feel like it's a whole new world of social media for me. I've found myself joining smaller communities across the Lemmyverse and in Discord, and it feels more engaging and less toxic. I've even picked up Tik Tok after years of Redditors telling me it's the plague, and I've found that it has more welcoming niche communities (like Booktok, Writertok, Tears of the Kingdom) than Reddit ever had.
I've been LOVING SF6. It's the first fighting game that has ever truly clicked with me.
I really need to pick up Diablo 4, but I'm spoiled by Diablo 3 on the Switch for portable play while my wife watches TV. I'd love to get D4 on the Steam Deck, but the setup seems a bit intimidating, and I'd worry that future updates would break it.
I was totally the same way when I wrote my first novel. I had the general flow of the story in my head with a few scenes, and somehow ended up with a 65k word manuscript just out of my head. It was a disjointed, poorly paced, poorly written, character arc-less, boring mess of a story.
It was a good learning experience though. I found out that I'm not a pantser. After learning some frameworks (Abbie Emmons on YouTube has some really helpful resources for Planners to use) and getting a full outline written, I've found writing my third novel to be so much easier.
I haven't heard of Fabula cards, I'll have to check it out. I've honestly just been using the sticky notes app on my Mac and the card-based overview in Scrivener.

I went straight for the Steam Deck version and it is a perfect handheld game. The fights don't drag on too long, and the suspend / resume is really nice to have.
