I’ll offer “A reading list”. There’s no shortage of good books to read, and to no longer read anything for entertainment and/or knowledge would be a bad thing.

The thieves guild quest line in skyrim, so you can keep the skeleton key.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The skeleton key isn't really worth it. Picks are plentiful and lock picking is pretty easy.

There is also a perk in the lock picking skill tree (the last one) that makes it irrelevant. Though I do recommend a mod that allows you to skip the otherwise useless legs in the skill tree you would need to take first.

i'll be philosophical here: yourself. never be done. never stop changing. bever be finished. to be alive is to be in motion.

No contentment. No comfort. No rest. No satisfaction.

Cheesecake. Unfinished, there is more cheesecake to look forward to. Once it's finished, there is no more cheesecake. Only sadness.

are we talking one slice? Or the whole damn cake?

Depends on the slice

Cookies.

Just gimme the dough 🤤

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

This this same vein, baking cookies. Leaving them half baked and slightly raw in the middle is better than baking them through.

Revenge plans.

Chinese food. It's etiquette in China to not eat the whole plate.

A few of the best books I've read I just didn't finish because I didn't want that closure on the story.
Plenty of bad books. Didn't finish those either. But, they'd usually get put down sooner and not really thought about, later.

Tool handles. If you apply a hard glossy coat they just become too damn slippery and if it's summer it'll often slip on your sweat and it feels all clammy.

Chopsticks for the same reason, I always find myself dropping my food like an idiot when they are glossy and laqcuered. Especially when I was at a restaurant and for whatever reason they had mirror finished steel chopsticks. What the fuck!

A restaurant meal? Portions are so huge and leftovers are great.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

All of my projects... That's what I tell myself anyways
