Done with words
Till some days ago, i have not read a single book in this soon ending decade. Maybe accidentally, but not finished for sure. I'm not into soccer either. More than ten years ago, i wrote at least two books. Since then, i was basically done with words. Less than a week ago, Amazon put the new Kindle on sale. I have always wanted one, though i'm not a reader. My mom and dad have one with no light. I like to see myself on the other side, and creating things from nothing, or transforming them from something else.
This year, they started putting LED lights into the basic model, which was previously an exclusive feature for expensive models. I just finished reading "Ancient Light" by John Banville. It was rather by chance than by choice, since the books are sorted alphabetically. A while ago, i got more than a thousand of them on my drive. It was a little bit salty and questionable. FYI, i want a relationship to be exclusive. I speed read some parts, as i'm not into the whole process. But i finished the book and it was ok.
I haven't played RollerCoaster Tycoon since at least 16 years. This is why i took the opportunity and bought RCT1 Deluxe and RCT2 Triple Thrill Pack on GOG, discounted at Black Friday. And while i'm at it, SimCity 3000 Unlimited too. All together DRM-free and for almost the price of one single title. They are part of my late childhood. Since these games are ancient, they may need some tweaking on modern computers. Thanks to OpenRCT2 for their open-source re-implementation and getting it to run smoothly.
