@Varyk How short a time are we talking?
This one might be a bit of a cheat, but: The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton. Technically everything happens within a day.

I have been using Storygraph for a couple of years now and really like it. Exported my Goodreads data and imported it into Storygraph. There was some cleanup I had to do, as Goodreads was often missing start / end dates for reading history.
What I really like about Storygraph is that it's not bloated the way that Goodreads is. The interface is clean and fairly easy to navigate and it has very few unwanted features. The stats are cool too. https://app.thestorygraph.com/stats/hybridhavoc?year=2024

Checked out Silent Hill Ascension last night and yeah, was not impressed and doubt I'll look at it again.

@Adderbox76 @Mothra Love the Death Gate Cycle, would also recommend it. It feels a bit like the prototype for Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere.

@scratch There is a translate feature built in, but it requires that your instance have configured it, since it utilizes a a third-party service for the translation. You reach out to your instance admin to ask about it.

I think they were more comparing the userbase of Mastodon against its corporate-owned alternatives, not to other fediverse apps.

@jay91 Group support appears to be in the works. In the mean-time, people on Mastodon can still follow group accounts and those group accounts will boost posts into their followers' feeds. For example, that's how I saw this post to reply to.

I basically agree with this.
Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard [https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/11/23779039/microsoft-activision-blizzard-ftc-trial-win](https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/11/23779039/microsoft-activision-blizzard-ftc-trial-win) From the article, quoting Judge Corley: ... the Court finds the FTC has not shown a likelihood it will prevail on its claim this particular vertical merger in this specific industry may substantially lessen competition. To the contrary, the record evidence points to more consumer access to Call of Duty and other Activision content. The motion for a preliminary injunction is therefore DENIED.

Yeah he seems to be back in the swing of things. He's even managed a quick turnaround on some videos recently which makes me wonder if he's intentionally made changes to his workflow to enable that. I know with season 1 he quickly got behind because he puts so much work into his videos.

@BricksDont
Death Gate Cycle is a classic, dragonlance-like fantasy. It takes itself noticeably less serious than WoT. But it's pretty fun, good cast of characters.
It's the first fantasy series I ever read so it holds a special place for me, even if WoT is my favorite.

I've read most of the Wheel of Time books more than anything else.
I recently did a reread of the Death Gate Cycle. Kinda felt like the prototype to the cosmere.
And recently reread the Memory, Sorrow and Thorn trilogy from Tad Williams
