    Just finished Devil in the White City about a serial killer active during the Chicago Columbian Exposition (world's fair) in the late 1800's. Super fascinating. The way they describe what the killer did and how he lived in those times, them turmoil around the country and the huge effort to pull if the world's fair.

    Just started reading The Winter Over. Not sure what it's about yet other than a group of scientists and support in the south pole. Seems interesting so far.

    Personally, I prefer to play every game without a HUD as often as I can but there are exceptions. Metroid Prime for example has a great built in HUD that is part of Samus' suit visor. When it's something like that, I like to leave HUD elements up. If it's something like BotW, I'd prefer no HUD at all to immerse myself more. My favorite setting for the HUD and the one I wish every single game would adopt is Horizon: Zero Dawn. You can tap the middle button to quickly have some info show but leave the HUD off. I wish I could do that in every game. DQ 11 for example forces me to have the map up all of the time. Gran Turismo 7s HUD is useful but I wish it was more dynamic.

    I've been watching F1 and WEC forever. There are some races I just will not miss for any reason, LeMans being one. I also watch IMSA, World GT Challenge, Super GT, Super Formula and some other smaller series when I can. I try to watch Indy but I hate the way the cars look and yeah, that may seem shallow but it is what it is. My favorite is absolutely WEC. I love endurance racing. The pinaccle of motorsports in my opinion.
