I've only read one Becky Chambers book before this one, A Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, but it seems like her books follow the same general themes: futuristic, peaceful societies with little to no violence, a healthy dose of optimism, and characters that have the personalities of modern...

The Wager review

August 7, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

A riveting historical narrative that takes its time to get going. The story of the Wager is honestly one of the more interesting little historical episodes I've ever heard of. It's got it all; a shipwreck, a mutiny, desperate struggles to stay alive, and at the end of it all several different...

About

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, movies, and anything else I find interesting.

My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.

Another project I'm working on is my Pokemon Living Dex Challenge, where I try to obtain one of each available Pokemon and transfer them into Pokemon Home.

Yet another project I'm working on is my Old School RuneScape "Completionist" Quest, where I'm attempting to max out all skills and see everything the game has to offer as a completely new player.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
• Reviews, where I post longer-form review writeups
• Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
• Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
