I use softwares, that opens projects, which take some time to open, say for e.g. Unity Editor, Visual Studio etc. With the reopen windows thing, it just launches the Unity Hub, and Visual Studio Launcher. It doesn't actually open the apps to the state I was expecting, hence wasting time. I was looking for Windows like Hibernate, coz I don't need to keep it powered. Imagine, being able to resume from exact previous state, all undo history maintained, clipboard state, everything as was left previously, This is how it worked on windows.
If that's all you want, you can just put it on standard sleep. The power draw is minimal and since you have a desktop anyway, there's no battery drain concerns.
It will recover the state in a second or two this way.
Hibernate is useful if you like to keep a laptop unused for several days at a time, but in your case, it wouldn't really offer anything over regular sleep mode. The power cost savings would be a few dollars a year, at most.
I also recommend this. Been using 43inch 4K TV since last 10 years. MY first TV (Vu 43inch Iconium) died this year, Got another 43inch 4K TV from LG (43UT8050) now. Ensure you get one that supports atleast 60hz refresh rate. My first one did not at 4K. It even starts faster than android TVs. I always keep on game mode, this setting ensure minimal input latency and no TV side post processing. The smart TVs don't need to be connected to internet, since I don't use the smartness of theirs. Finding dumb TVs is difficult here.
The Wandering Inn [1], Stories of an alternate world somehow connected to a certain innkeeper of the said inn.
Features extensive world building, character building, Lots of fleshed out characters, contains humour as well as serious stuff, has dragons, fae, aliens, time travel, hiveminds, automatons, cute pets, cosmic horrors, history lessons, magic, alchemy and steampunk engineering.
It's a bit longish and not finished yet, 2/3 done as of this year.
I'm only on the second volume, but so far I wouldn't call it Sci-Fi; it's pretty much straight-up fantasy (specifically a portal-fantasy with string LitRPG elements) so far.
I suppose there could be a "It's all a VR game" or "It's alien mind control" twist that I haven't gotten to yet.
OT, but I'm legitimately surprised that WoT is longer than the saga of recluse.
I'm also a very mildly annoyed that they included several era-spanning series on the list, but limited Dragonlance to the chronicles trillogy, despite that including followups by the original authors (Legends, Second generations).
Learnt a bit about threejs, tonejs. Made using chatgpt in 5 evenings.
After 2 days I shared with friends, it didnt work on their device. Had to rewrite the graphics part correctly. I doesnt look as nice as the original one on my device. but now works on their device.
A stock price analytics webapp. That gets data from various sources. And is able to bulk analyse historical data. Made for a friend. But now used by more peeps.
Is it longer than The Loud House: Revamped, currently at 2328 chapters and over 16 million words?
I mean I just glanced at it and I'm sure it's a troll, with passages like

Maybe no. But the wandering inn, is nice epic story that connects well together across chapters. It's still ongoing with around 2/3 finished as per the author.
I made this to learn what goes into seriously publishing a solo-developed (except music) game. Initially I planned to finish this in 6 Months, But its now been 2 years. Would love to hear your thoughts on the same.
