    In RNJesus They Trust: Game Design, Your Time & Your Luck is a witty, sharp-eyed exploration of randomness in modern gaming — and how it blesses, tests, or exploits the players who kneel before it. From the ecstatic thrill of a rare drop to the soul-crushing grind of gacha pulls, game developers have turned RNG (random number generation) into a design pillar that fuels excitement and monetization. But where does randomness stop being fun and start wasting your time — or draining your wallet? This book unpacks that question across genres: MMOs, gacha games, roguelikes, shooters, and strategy titles. It blends game design insight with psychological analysis and a dash of sacred satire, portraying “RNJesus” as the unpredictable deity we’ve all prayed to at 2 AM. Whether you're a game designer, critic, or lifelong gamer tired of losing to the dice, this book offers clarity, laughter, and empowerment. Learn to recognize fair design, spot exploitative patterns, and advocate for gaming systems that respect your time — and your luck.

    Composting is so much more than just transforming food into soil; it is deeply existential, radical, and soul-opening. And no, it's not just for gardeners. You can compost in a bowl on your kitchen counter, or a bag under your sink, and you can compost things you're told you can't (although there are some things you probably shouldn't). Everyone can compost. And even if you're not going to compost at all, knowing about compost is engaging with a dialogue about zero waste. With wry and brilliant writing, ​Cassanda Marketos brings the culture, beauty, community, and philosophy of compost to life in this one-of-a-kind, inventive work of narrative nonfiction that brings compost out of the dark ages and into the contemporary moment. Delightfully philosophical and inviting, it is an accessible guide to everything you need to know about compost, with actionable advice for beginners and experienced composters. You will learn why compost works, where to put your compost, how to pick your compost set up, the basics of decomposition, what to put in a compost pile, where to source your compost materials, and how to build a pile. With insights on what tools to consider, how to deal with odors, insects, and other critters, and transitioning your compost pile for colder weather, find easy-to-follow compost pile designs, tips on composting in small spaces, composting with worms, and how to compost things you're always told you can't (you just need to know how). This book has something for everyone, at any stage in their compost journey, and includes edgy, delightful illustrations by the artist Sludge Thunder throughout. And...it's literally compostable. Read it, follow the advice, and toss it into your compost pile.
