I was stuck with Dhalgren by Samuel R. Delany for well over a year. Finally finished a couple months ago. I think the longest I’ve been stuck with a book before this is maybe 4 months and that’s usually because I haven’t had enough time to read.

TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•I find myself in this debate amongst friends and family regularly
14·24 天前What would happen to the people if the buffer were to lose power or malfunction in any way? Even a small risk of anything adverse plus the degradation while being stored would make this not acceptable from medical viewpoint.

Games@lemmy.world•Xbox invests big into indies, signs Game Pass deals with over 50 studiosEnglish
5·2 个月前I think that there’s big enough chunk of gamers that wasn’t own and support Indie games directly rather than rent them through gamepass that it hopefully won’t have much impact.
I am hoping there won’t be any exclusivity BS though, Epic has been bad enough with that already.

Music@lemmy.world•Music related YouTube channels to understand and appriciate music moreEnglish
2·2 个月前I feel besides watching stuff, learning to play practically any instrument or even just software to make music will also give you a lot more insight into music.
I think also good making of docs and recording session stuff will help. Hard part is finding the good ones.

Games@lemmy.world•Blue Archive, [an anime RTS], got hacked, but the hacker just spawned the same character everywhere without touching valuable data, Nexon confirms - AUTOMATON WESTEnglish
6·2 个月前Nothing new with Nexon. I used to play a Mabinogi with my wife many years ago and they had an issue with some players getting access to in-game dev tools or something and spawning high level monsters and stuff in the middle of towns. If I remember right it was something that the original game devs had patched years ago, but Nexus had not bothered to bring in the fix for it.
I’ve never played this one, but I’ve heard a bunch of the music. Some bangers in there.
I did also try Limbus Company for a bit, that seems to continue the same story to some extent (shared world and some returning characters I think). It’s weird ass gacha game though and while it was cool I ended up losing interest after a while.

Maybe Iain M. Banks’ Culture series, if you’re not familiar with his work already. The books are generally standalobe stories, but there are some recurring side characters and references to earlier books. Consider Phlebas is the first one I think.
Terry Pratchett Discworld books? From memory the ones about witches at least had a good bit of it.

Music@lemmy.world•If you could see any band perform live at any point in their history, who would you see?English
5·4 个月前I can’t decide between early Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath or Bal-Sagoth for something newer
Until the kids grow up a bit and then it can be bonding time. My kids are in early teens now and we have been playing video games together for years now

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Putin facing new 'invasion' as 1m-strong antelope swarm destroys Russia's cropsEnglish
7·5 个月前Probably delicious when cooked right. Never had antelope, but reindeer and moose are probably in the same pallpark and those are both good.

TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•Promotional consideration paid for by the Babylon Project
5·6 个月前From what I remember it start a little slow, but it starts to pick up around half way of the first season and it’s pretty consistenly great after that. It has been while since I rewatched it though

Games@lemmy.world•Former Dragon Age writer says Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Baldur's Gate 3 prove 'what's possible when a game is given time to cook'English
130·6 个月前I don’t think it’s just “time to cook”, pretty sure the devs having actual passion behind it also helps a lil bit.
Big corpos going just for the numbers are really good at stomping out all of that
Thanks, I’ve had good time with Palace of Mirrors. I think I’ve heard Arctopus before, but it’s been a while, I’ll check that out.
For Igorrr I would say the last two are my favorites as well, but there’s some brilliant stuff on the older albums too.
Are you familiar with Sigh? They have been one of my favorite bands for a long ass time.
I’m not familiar with Estradasphere. I checked a couple random tracks (Mekapse Yitonisa and King Crab Battle), good stuff so far. I will check out more of them
Yeah a bunch of Igorrr and related bands like Ruby My Dear, Corpo Mente and Pryapisme
Missing a few hairy metal dudes, some French weirdos and a couple reneissance guys for me.




I had good time with that one, I felt it was fun despite the grimdark. Gideon really carried it for me.
I’m reading Harrow the Ninth now, but about 3rd of the way through it has not gripped me yet.
