Reminder / PSA regarding video games and other connected electronics (self.parenting)

Tomorrow is another gift-giving-holiday.

That means you might be thinking about offering a video game, a console or some sort of connected device.

Please consider turning the device on beforehand and getting it updated so whoever receives the gift can enjoy it promptly.

I'm only saying this because even the Nintendo Switch with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe required 2 hours in order for system and game updates to install.

I was a bad reader this year... But some quick sci-fi reads are the Murderbot books (Martha Wells) and the Forward Collection (7 books by 7 authors). An older one is True Names by Vernor Vinge.

Thank you! Read Murderbot, haven't tried the others, added to list! 😊👌

You probably read the Robot and Monk novellas too?

[–] renard_roux 1 points 1 year ago

I have not! Monk & Robot added to the list 😊👌
