@Tarte Saving your comment to help me research international trade.

Thanks for making me aware of this cool tool!

I'm just done reading The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin, and The Fate of the Tearling immediately before. Starting with the latter, I liked the rest of the series, but disliked the direction it went in this last book; however, it did keep me invested right until the very last word (in the hope that things might take a different turn, admittedly). As for the former, I don't think I have much of an opinion. It just didn't deliver on what I was looking for.

What I'm looking for, incidentally, is quite a specific niche of fantasy stories centered on monarchies with a romantic-in-the-classical-sense portrayal. It's a high I got off The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison, The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold, and the original Valdemar series by Mercedes Lackey, and I've been chasing it ever since.

@IngridSkovgard If you like Ace Attorney, then the recently released love letter to the series called "Attorney of the Arcane" is a great, great next target. The characters are captivating and the gameplay offers a few good twists on the standard formula. It gets pretty hard at the end, but not in a way that you can't solve by just paying close attention to the case. It's gotten several updates since its launch fixing typos and bugs, so the experience should be top-notch now. If you do try it, do tell how it goes.

Whoa, you had really thought about this before. I'll be working through these as the day goes by.

Listening to both recommendations! I've gotten to know many musical songs and pieces I like through anime, even though I don't watch very much anime anymore.

I just started reading "The Curse of Chalion" bu Lois McMaster Bujold, following a rather specific fantasy itch that was most recently scratched by "The Goblin Emperor" (by Sarah Monette) and before that by the Valdemar series, particularly the Arrows of the Queen and Winds of Fate series. I hope it delivers!

Yes, in Santo Domingo! I didn't know it was a more widespread thing, but one showed up around a year ago and has grown more popular this year. It's called "Playboard Café", and their food is also great.

r/linguisticshumor or... :'(

I'm a linguistics enthusiast, which means people expect me to either know a lot of languages (which is, honestly, partly true) or be a grammar nazi (which is emphatically untrue).
