I’ll join you in that! Fun to showoff the shelf candy and see some from others
I’ve been playing since the early 2000s, starting with D&D 3.5. Later picked up a few Pathfinder 1e books to help supplement the D&D. Also got Serenity around that time since my group was really into Firefly
That was my collection for a while, then I inherited some D&D Basic, 1e, and 2e sets from a friend’s family who was decluttering. I also inherited my D&D 4e stuff in a similar way
Another break later I got my first 5e stuff and slowly built that as books released. Star Wars got picked up when my 5e group got into an Edge of the Empire game. Around that time Starfinder and Pathfinder 2 were coming out, and Paizo’s books subscription was wonderful, though I did eventually cancel because we just weren’t playing those games
The most recent updates are the smaller indie games like Kids on Bikes, Mork Bork, Cyborg, etc. And also the Cyberpunk/Shadowrun sets
We don’t play nearly enough to actually get to all of these games, but they’re really nice reference and inspiration to have
Nah, there have been some blogs recently from engineers who were bucking the Microservice trend - Notably Amazon Prime Video moved back to more of a monolith deployment and saw performance improvement and infrastructure cost reduction

I wouldn’t say anything is wrong with them, the pros and cons have been there, but the cons are starting to be more recognized by decision makers
