At 1:20 when the flanking corrupt judge shoots him, this cool track plays, but I cannot find it or the moment in the OST for some reason. Can someone help?

I chose to start my journey into the Witcher books series with The Last Wish as it seems to be universally agreed as the start of the Witcher series even if it was published after Sword of Destiny. My impression? This is one of my favorite fantasy books already. I love the idea of short story collections as each story would be easily followed.

What I exceptionally liked was a key detail being introduced in each intermission chapter of Geralt and Nenneke that became the main focus of the next short story. For example, some pompous higher governing official curses Geralt out as the 'Butcher of Blaviken' and the following short story is The Lesser Evil where we see this butchering of Blaviken. That oaf bard Dandelion? Mentioned right after, and he's definitely not a total klutz as some media like to portray of him.

My favorite short story was A Question of Price; my least favorite was A Grain of Truth and The Edge of the World. Do not get me wrong, they're both stellar writing too, and I enjoyed the classic witcher investigations, but the climax felt too sudden in the former, and the latter's climax became underwhelming to me after all that great build up and lore on nonhumans.

Overall, Andrzej Sapkowski's way of writing I like so far, and hope Sword of Destiny lives up to it!

I never used tiktok or other social media sites so I'm good on that part. I felt like instagram was very fake with followers, ads, doomscrolling, so I am taking a break at that. Hopefully permanently. This might sound funny but I was watching old shows that weren't hyper in comedy or animation and it made me think of life before social media really took over and we became hooked up on easy rewarding interactions. This step back might be hard for the first few days but I really want to know what life is like with less

Hi, so I find quitting video games to be particularly easy for me but what i really struggle with is stop watching content like video game walkthroughs. As a kid I always liked watching walkthroughs seeing as they were very simple entertaining videos back then like Pewdiepie playing horror video games or other types of long form gaming content. However, with youtube today now everything feels up in my face and i watch solely to watch now. Like if im eating something i'll have a video game video of some video game essay i have no real reason to watch just so i can have something in the background to look at while dining. some days im watching mission alternate endings because it seems interesting even though again it's just wasted time. I'm also just clicking through so many videos and youtube blockers don't work for me since i just turn off blockers anyways.

i don't know what i could do to replace these very fast paced all-up-in-your-face videos.

Hi, I've always been someone who can digest lecture materials if I take the time and write physical notes as it forces me to slowly go through a lecture - even if it's very inefficient for time - and force myself to try and summarize the material. I've never been an Anki person, growing up I never used a laptop for school until it was high school (and even then most of us still used the usual copybook and pen). iPads, although I see the benefit, still feel awkward to me and at this stage I feel like I would be needlessly switching. I'm worried primarily that I won't retain everything because I'm missing out by summarizing a lot. However, I know for a fact I know what I know because I write it down clearly. Also, taking notes by laptop end up just me copy pasting the lecture notes word for word (+ tab switching or tab splitting is so needlessly exhausting). Should I just stick to what I know works for me, or am I missing out compared to others who embrace tech more? I know half the things I say sound paradoxical, so forgive me for that. I've also put this under the serious flair honestly because I've been feeling so much imposter syndrome since beginning.

aslam alaykum i'm trying to find an english translation of the quran but one with tafsir or explanations as you go on and read, so not just a translation by itself. i live in usa so i dont know which source or company to purchase a specific book from with both of these conditions if possible, jazakAllah
