What was your favorite fiction book you read this year?

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy was by far the best fiction and best book overall that I read this year. I couldn't bring myself to read anything else for a few weeks after finishing it, because it was so much to digest. Legit one of the best fiction books I've ever read, and it's not even a category or time period I like reading about.

Leverless Controller Recommendations

Reply in thread

Dude that's genius! I've been gaming awhile and I've never heard of that modification. I rarely used the stick for movement because it's hard for me to control as easily. There is an extra controller laying around, so I'll give it a shot this weekend. I know at least several Street Fighter pros use a DualShock, so I probably shouldn't give up on it too fast. Thanks for the thought!

Need advice picking my next grinder

I just want to add another vote for the JX Pro. It's been my daily driver for 3 years and still going strong. I use it for Moka Pot, Aeropress, espresso, pourover, and French press with great results. Changing the grind size for different brew methods isn't painful. Grinding for espresso does give you a forearm pump tho. It's a great budget option, and as someone who enjoys the process of making coffee, a manual grinder adds to the process. If you need to grind more than 30 grams at once for guests, etc. then it is time consuming and takes multiple refills. That's my only criticism of a great grinder.

Boots Riley from The Coup and Tom Morello from RATM teamed up for a minute and put out the project Street Sweeper Social Club which has some bangers. Also the best indie political hip hop that's come out lately is hands down from Infinity Knives and Brian Ennals. Their album A City Drowned in God's Black Tears was my favorite album from last year.

Hardcore punk as a genre is all good political rock. Incendiary is a great band that is reminiscent of Rage. One of my favorite bands is Hostages, but enough of their songs are calls to violence against pigs and politicians that it'll probably put you on a list lol
