How much lore should you find in a university library ?
author=Dyluck
You specified that this library is going to be EARLY in the game. If so, then too much lore definitely runs an extremely high risk of being ignored or just being completely meaningless to the player. They probably won't care or find the lore as interesting as you the writer.
They are much more likely to enjoy or care about reading lore if it's much later into the game and lot of interesting things have already happened. Then they might actually be interested in finding out more details about various things in the world, once they have more context.
I actually think that putting a thing like this early in the game is an important way of teaching the player that reading a bunch of random books in the game is optional. Like in Pillars of Eternity I remember there being a bunch of random kickstarter-stories everywhere and a lot of them were frontloaded in the first area and after reading through like five or six I quickly realized that these were just random fluff that wasn't actually important so it taught me that it was okay to skip.
A library filled to the brim with long text files is a tutorial showing the player that there's plenty of stuff in the game and that you don't have to interact with all of it just because it glows when you mouseover it.
Summer Movie Wager is just a battle for 2nd place any given year imho
Summer Movie Wager
Summer is over and the results are in!
The only change from last list was that Oppenheimer did in fact pass The Little Mermaid (by quite the margin even) which meant more points for our summer movie expert kentona
The final top 10 was:
1. Barbie
2. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
3. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
4. Oppenheimer
5. The Little Mermaid
6. Sound of Freedom
7. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
8. Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning: Part One
9. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
10. Elemental
Which meant the final point tally was:
1. kentona, 52 points
2. frogge, 39 points
3. Darken, 37 points
3. Shinan, 37 points
5. pianotm, 34 points
6. Dudesoft, 29 points
kentona truly running away with it in a summer that saw some pretty surprising surprises with Sound of Freedom messing it up for everyone.

Summer Movie Wager
Only a couple of weekends left of this summer movie wager (it ends on September 4th, the same day my summer vacation ends) and... there's basically only one thing still up in the air. Will Oppenheimer (at 278million at the time of writing) pass The Little Mermaid (at 297million at the time of writing) before the season ends?
If it does that'll mean even more points for kentona.
The current top 10s are:
1. Barbie, $567 million
2. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, $381 million
3. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, $359 million
4. The Little Mermaid, $297 million
5. Oppenheimer, $285 million
6. Sound of Freedom, $178 million
7. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, $174 million
8. Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning: Part One, $165 million
9. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, $157 million
10. Elemental, $151 million
Just outside the top 10 are:
Fast X, $146 million
The Flash, $108 million
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, $88 million
This weekend Blue Beetle opens and seems to open to similar numbers that Shazam 2 did and might get to 100 million some time in October.
When it comes to our scores it seems one person is just better than the rest of us at this.
1. kentona, 49 points
2. Darken, 39 points
2. frogge, 39 points
2. Shinan, 39 points
5. pianotm, 34 points
6. Dudesoft, 29 points
How many movies in the top 10 have you managed to see? I'm at 5/10 at the moment.
EDIT: Since the estimated weekend numbers are in I just edited in those. And from those I can see that Oppenheimer will almost definitely beat The Little Mermaid before the September 4 and that Blue Beetle opened at 25 million which is lower even than Shazam 2.
If it does that'll mean even more points for kentona.

What exactly is and isn't allowed on this site when it comes to rips in our games?
Summer Movie Wager
Going into the new weekend I thought I'd update as Barbie is now firmly in the #1 spot and points have changed yet again as Mission Impossible is back on the board.
The top 10 is as follows: 1. Barbie, 2. Spider-Verse 2, 3. Guardians 3, 4. The Little Mermaid, 5. Oppenheimer, 6. Indiana Jones 5, 7. Sound of Freedom, 8. Transformers, 9. Mission Impossible 7, 10. Elemental
Which leads us to how the board looks:
1. kentona, 44 points
2. Darken, 41 points
3. frogge, 39 points
4. Shinan, 36 points
5. pianotm, 32 points
6. Dudesoft, 29 points
The changes I am still seeing on the horizon are Sound of Freedom passing Indy 5 and Mission Impossible passing Transformers. There's also a tiny chance that Elemental might pass Transformers but it's a close race, the gap is around 10 million and Elemental has been doing about 2million more a week than Transformers recently but that means it'll probably not pass Transformers before all of this is over.
Of any new releases I don't really foresee any of them cracking the top 10. TMNT would need another 100 million to get there and unless Blue Beetle has an insane opening (it won't) there aren't really any true contenders for the top 10 anymore. But placements are still up for grabs!
