Just found out that Brockway, a founder of 1-900-HOTDOG is a writer. Which, I guess duh? But hey, new book by him. Added a bunch of metadata to the OpenLibrary listing so it was good here.

Dennard's work on 1-900-HOTDOG is always entertaining, if the bleakest of the contributors. So I want to read this, but kinda don't.
...Wonder how awful Overdrive's license is for this book... Or I could buy it with Amazon Fun Buxx, (the scrip they pay you for choosing slower shipping,) and then get a good copy off of LibGen.

He was in the elevator on his way down before she Looked at the card again. The phone number had a 216 code, which meant Cleveland—yet his home address was a dock slip at the Harbor Lagoon in Vermillion.
"l hope he got to heaven before the devil knew he's dead," Brock said, quoting an old Irish saying. Why, he wondered, weren't there any new Irish sayings? Did they all stop being amusing the day James Joyce died?

Same. 4 hour round trip for me. (Riding home with a bunch of flat packed shelving everywhere was f u n . I can't really think of any national chains other than the ones listed. :/
This isn't actually the collection I have, but it no longer exists on Amazon. I started reading this aaaaaages ago. Got several stories in and wandered off.
It's interesting to see the modern roots of low fantasy, but when I read that, "he was a good friend of HP Lovecraft," it, ugh...makes sense. Hella racist in a way that is more up front than Tolkien or whatever.
Might just read the modern queer Red Sonja book instead.

I tried to read the first book and after where it seemed it should end for like the third time, but I was only 53% through, I gave up. Homestuck I got to one of the indeterminable hunks of Act 6 and gave up. Think it'll go hyper-unhinged Andor condensation style and try and do both parts of Act 5 in two episodes? :P
Centuries after the last humans left Earth, the Exodus Fleet is a living relic, a …
Then one of my friends, she started her host training, and she was telling me about it - not just the physical side of it, but all the ethos and whatnot. I was Like, hey, that sounds pretty cool. And it was, and here I am.'

Oh, very fair with JRPG being more nebulous nowadays. It is more of a mindset than from a place. I see JRPGs more as a story about people and they are frequently more linear. Whereas western RPGs (wRPGs?) are more about "you" the main character in a world. Far more wandering around by and large.
Bug Fables and I am Setsuna are two that I really like out of the indie market.
I actually like the mindless grind. Less the, "random encounter every tile as you try to steal a weapon out of a pyramid" that Dragon Warrior III has, but more like, initiating specific battles to get a currency to level up a thing. Even in FPSes, I tend to go more for Destiny or Warframe than something where the tight story is mainly what you're doing.

Honkai Star Rail, (untill they busted the union) and Guardian Tales are my go to examples of that. The combat is fun and having to think much beyond, "I need these gems to upgrade this weapon," is a nice, brainless activity.
Reverse 1999 is one that I wish I liked more, but the combat is too sparse and dialog too frequent and tedious. I like the characters having different accents and languages, but I feel all of them are slightly askew. I dunno. Still looking for a replacement for HSR.
But back to the point, it seems to take will for me to initiate a part of a game that advances the plot.
