@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.
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.
@Aviandelight @Mothra This is a great series. I recently did a re-read and it still holds up.
@GunnarRunnar oh then yeah, don't ask questions you don't want the answer to.
@GunnarRunnar to be fair, the OP is not the one that asked for an explanation.
@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.
@RxBrad @flameguy21
I think they were more comparing the userbase of Mastodon against its corporate-owned alternatives, not to other fediverse apps.
@bonegakrejg @IJustWentPsycho
And if you're interested, you can pick up Assassin's Apprentice, Royal Assassin, and Assassin's Quest audiobooks on Chirp Books for $4 or less each.
@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.
@MayonnaiseArch There are extensions which make it easier to interact with remote instances, like Roam With Mastodon. https://fo.llow.social/roam
The Dusty Wheel LIVE from WoTCon tonight at 11pm Eastern

Rather late stream by normal schedule but they will likely be discussing the #WoTCon convention and the latest #WheelOfTime news.
Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard
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.
@fermionsnotbosons
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.
@steal_your_face
Not Mastodon, but supposedly built on ActivityPub and plans to open federation some time in the future.
AEW Fight Forever Digital Foundry Review

I've been strongly considering picking this up. I was a big fan of Yuke's old WCW games on N64 and this seems to really lean into that lineage.

We Don't Talk Like That Uno
Because I just saw the original song referenced in a toot, I thought I would share again the #WheelOfTime parody song, We Don't Talk Like That Uno, from this year's WoT Idol. This was one of my favorites.

@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.
@squawkduck
@TimTheEnchanter
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
Watch The Dusty Wheel discuss theories on the end of Season 2 of #TheWheelOfTime, the Horn of Valere, Heroes of the Horn, and prophecy!

@mmasnick any interest in getting one of the beehaw.org admins on the podcast or something?
From @Gaywallet
Oh that’s interesting. Maybe because I’m posting from my Mastodon account. I feel like I’ve had replies from Lemmy though. 🤔
The Dusty Wheel - the LIVE call in talk show all about #TheWheelOfTime - will be talking about the #WoTWednesday drops today
In addition, guests Dani and Brett will be on to talk #NewReader reactions and predictions to Crossroads of Twilight.
Going live around 9:00pm Eastern. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXCa-2IYa98
Techdirt Podcast 354 - Yoel Roth joins to discuss content moderation on decentralized platforms
Yoel Roth is the former head of Trust & Safety at Twitter and now a Tech Policy Fellow at UC Berkeley. This episode does a pretty good job, I think, of pointing out the strengths and challenges of moderation on the fediverse and other decentralized systems. Great listen for anyone interested in this sort of stuff.

\#TuneTuesday : #ThatIsActuallyGood - A song you like from a band you pretend not to like

Tune Tuesday is a weekly prompt to share music. Each week there is a new theme pulled by @Kitty and a corresponding hashtag. This is mostly on Mastodon, but thanks to the power of federation I can tag @music here and share it to the Music community at Beehaw.org.
Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey audiobook for $7.99
If you are a #scifi fan and haven't read #TheExpanse yet do yourself a favor and pick this up. $7.99 is a tough price to beat, and it's a great series.

Nice.
Sorry to the rest of the world that uses a more sensible date formatting. I look forward to hearing from you in September.
