I really enjoyed the world building, pacing, and buildup in the first book, but this one just fell flat for me. I didn’t particularly care about any of the characters and the reveals near the end were interesting, but elicited more ‘oh, huh, that’s cool’ than any real …

I’ve been playing each game in order and listening to Eggplant Show episodes for each. I’m up to Bushido Ball, and so far the games that stand out for me are Ninpek, Magic Garden, Velgress, and Bushido Ball, with an honorable mention to Kick Club. The other games …

This book was darker than I expected, but I enjoyed it. I also didn't realize how old it was until I looked up some information about it midway through. It holds up incredibly well for being published in 1989! While I did enjoy reading the book, I'll have to hold …

I thought this book had some very good insights on how to learn. While ultralearning is an intense method to learn (usually) difficult subjects more quickly, I think the lessons in this book can be applied to less intense studying plans. If you plan to teach yourself anything in the …

I saw this book recommended in a few places so I listened to it as an Audiobook before I realized the author was a cofounder of Andreesen-Horowitz. I mention this becuase this book is clearly not for me. Maybe it has good information for someone founding a venture backed startup …
