Kind of! I think he does mention that his way of walking is less stressful for feet, i can't link the video but the channel name is in the screenshot so you can find it :)
Hell yeah! A friend gifted me a physical copy of it & its a great read
I'm making my way through the Strugastky brothers' works, found out about them through roadside picnic but i just finished "Monday starts on Saturday" and enjoyed it just as much. Edit to add: it's a science fiction novel from the perspective of a soviet programmer who stumbles into magic. He meets a lot of people for whom magic is mundane, and the book does such an awesome job describing his confusion and curiosity vs everybody elses acceptance of it as day-to-day. Its also super funny :)
Im getting a part time job because my gay little goal is for my online friend group to meet up. We're all going to one friend's home city bc its hard to travel for her for medical reasons :P
But since u meant transition goals, uhh... the prince from sleeping beauty (his name is phillips screwdriver)
