It's actually surprisingly common, at least in the U.S. where the data I've seen comes from. Almost half of all college graduates never read a book again after graduating. 8 out of 10 families didn't read a single book in the year preceding the study.
That was eight years ago, and I highly doubt that the increasing omnipresence of tablets and smartphones since then has pushed those numbers towards more book reading.

Im surprised they didn't reference that Skull & Bones is confirmed skipping E3 in the Ubisoft preview
I feel like most people in my friends group either read atleast a book a month or havnt read a book in a decade, theres not a lot of middle ground.
I used to read loads but am now lucky to read 10 books a year. I blame the Switch for that since my old book reading time (while my son monopolises the PS4) now tends to be handheld Switch time.

I like to read and I wish I did it more. I've been thinking about getting a Kindle because I feel like the convenience would get me to buy more books and read more.
Can anybody help me out? I believe there have been two episodes of the main podcast when they've played the 'Ian Dating Game' (where each ally is a game, and Ian has to ask questions to guess which game it is).
I can't remember which episodes these are! Does anybody know? They were hilarious.

i dont remember but you just reminded me and they really were hilarious
This is fantastic! And assuming that it's one image per post from different users, this should be fine.
So, ShockorScoff.com is coming soon. It will go live with the E3 2019 Betting Special (I don't see it on the calendar yet but I'm keeping my eyes peeled).
I want to keep most of it a secret at this point since I think it will be neat if I don't get too detailed, but I wanted to make sure one thing is OK. The site will record your chosen bets onto a PNG and will spit out an Imgur embed URL (or, in the case that the Imgur API fails us, you may have to upload on your own). The dimensions are 640px x 615px, like so (this is an older, wiped template, but those dimensions are the smallest I could do with it still being readable):
Are there any rules against/concerns about multiple image embed posts in a row on ResetEra, specifically the Betting Special OT?
Do we know what the plan for the Betting Special OT is, btw?

I think these are the only ones. Can't remember there being any more.
Awesome- was almost about to shoot you a PM so thanks for the confirmation! I've never done an OT but would be willing to take that on or at least provide whoever will be putting it together with anything I might be able to help with.
When they were wondering about the Sony marketed third party games being at Microsoft they should have remembered Keighley is producing a big live Gamescom show this year. I'm sure Geoff is more than happy to have a few of those games at his event. Who knows if the impact would be the same than E3, maybe it's even better because of less competition and closer release dates, but anyway that's a great new venue to showcase your game this year.
Please take the moderator off your ignore list
I truly must've blacked out and missed that those were posted so recently. Sorry about that!
I have no one on my ignore list, moderators or otherwise. It was just a dumb oversight.
Just a bit of friendly trolling. If I'm serious I use proper interpunctation
.
You can't ignore Mods/Admins anyway haha
Makes sense! I've never been one to make use of the ignore function anyway.
Thanks for finding these, and with time-stamps too! Love this little mini-game, haha.
The latest one is where the new podcast ending clip is from (Damiani's "...sexy").
Hmmm, thinking about it, we don't even know when the betting special is going to drop, so creating an OT ahead of time might not make much sense. I suspect someone will just create the thread when the video gets posted. Also, I'm guessing you'll have to watch and populate the site with the questions, which might take some time. Maybe the thing to do is to post the site in the thread when you're ready, and then PM me (I can probably edit it into the OP for more visibility).
Speaking of OTs though, we will need an EZA E3 OT. I'm not sure anyone's said they're doing that yet. 👀 I can help out too but I have no art skills xp. This is the one by Hasney last year for reference: https://www.resetera.com/threads/easy-allies-e3-2018-ot-alls-im-saying-is.46951/
I've got a little head start. Not as much as I'd like- some of what you said applies...will send a PM shortly.
Also for this. Though if someone else would rather do it, I don't need to do both

Easy Update was posted early on Patron, but the video isn't available yet.
Description:
Hi everyone,
This week I just talked about the deaths of my parents and the grieving process. It's a candid talk, kind of just through some of my thoughts about it. I don't know if it will be helpful to watch, but I hope it is. I filmed this on Wednesday but I will have had my dad's funeral today, on the 1st.

I genuinely cannot comprehend disliking a video about this. Why are those people even watching EZA?
Yeah, tell me about it. You would think that given how much Eza focus on Love an respect, especially Ian, that the community would be free of people like that.
I don't know, maybe they just disliked it as support in a weird way but knowing this world probably not.
Damn. Heavy stuff. I love that easy allies is willing to allow moments like these. Everyone behind the scenes are real people and we all have real lives. We miss Ian when he's gone, but grieving is important. Thanks everyone at EZA for supporting your fellow ally.
It's only 17 people out of 10,000 thankfully, it could be anything from scrolling down and clicking it accidentally with that ratio even. I know I've done it.
Ian should probably disable the like/dislike bars honestly. It's not needed on a video like that.
Some people might not want this kind of heavy candidness from their entertainment. It doesn't mean they don't sympathise, just that they might have preferred normality as opposed to the exceptional video.
Not saying that this is definitely the reason and people didn't just dislike it out of spite. But I can sympathise with people that simply don't like the video.
Losing one's parents or guardians is a "normal" enough thing, though. You don't realize how many people you interact with where it's already happened for them, some when they were very young.
The mindset of "keep people and their issues out of my entertainment - just dance for me the way I want you to, when I want you to - and why haven't you been around to do so" is unfortunate. Despite the increasing capability of being able to access content at a moment's notice to satisfy momentary whims, for free even, It's still people that make the entertainment. Relating to people, even during unfortunate times, increases your ability to enjoy more forms of entertainment from more people.
That video was very weird for me to watch because I usually am very laid back when dealing with death. I am lucky enough to only have one grandfather die on me (even though I suspect this won't last too long any more with all my other grandparents being as old as they are), but even though I really enjoyed being with him and I obviously wish he wouldn't have died, I was actually way too sober about it if you compared it to anyone else figuring that this is a normal thing to happen. It made me feel weird, like I had no soul or something.
But for some reason I had a lot more trouble watching this video as I felt really bad for Ian, probably more than I felt when it happened to me (granted, a grandparent dying is probably nothing compared to a parent or sibling). It must take a lot of courage to release a video like this, especially with how some people like to comment on everything Ian does (which is probably the reason of some of these dislikes). I said it on here before, but I wish Ian all the strength needed to deal with this terrible loss.

I'm not a regular watcher of Easy Allies but I just watched Ian's video because my dad recently passed away after a long term illness as well. A few things he said resonated with me about the relief of seeing the suffering be over and the lack of regrets over our relationship. Everyone grieves differently but I think the one realisation I had is how kind and generous the people around you really are in these difficult moments. I think it speaks incredibly well of the rest of the Allies that they gave Ian the opportunity to share his feelings on the channel. It should only strengthen the bond between the guys and the community in the future.
