Just the existence of 積んでおく as an idiomatic concept is pretty cool in itself.
@notclacke Japanese is a great language for poetry. Stacking roots can give deeper meaning than the word itself
@notclacke @cypnk you can combine -oku with any verb pretty much
@notclacke no, it's 置く in the sense of doing something in preparation
“I have a book on tsundoku, never finished it tho”
@cypnk I wonder if the same word could be applied to video games, or if a separate one already exists (looking at you, steam library)
@Tak Oh, I’m sure there’s a word for that too *cough*
(This isn’t mine BTW)
@cypnk @kensanata That's… @Linuxtjej in a nutshell!
@skalman @kensanata @Linuxtjej Good to know, I'm not alone 😂
@cypnk oh hey a word for me~
@cypnk the bottom could be filled with books, that probably wouldn't be visible from your webcam
@cypnk Good one. 🙂
