Does anyone else find Viktor incredibly hot, or am I just a freak? #warframe1999
I just finished Dragon Age Veilguard part me feels satisfied and other part feels some of it was hollow like some of it was comes across as choices were made at lip service to fans but not really considering how it fits the narrative. Though definitely the most fun a dragon age has been.
I'm taking my time with Veilguard and accidently got all the special lore totems super early in the story so now know all the deep lore reveals why everyone pretending like we haven't just discovered everything about the world is fundamentally chaged and thats most realistic thing in games
I can't believe the uk has semi wild polar bears, and no one told me www.theguardian.com/environment/...
I'm taking this as an inspiration story of you too can drop out of academia and become a pig farmer who then personally redefines polar bear care in preparation for climate refugee bears
On my 5th High Republic book of the year, and I've enjoyed it, but maybe my brain would be cool enough to let me be a different kind of nerd. I've got to make some alluring deal with the goblins that plague my mind.
My only annoyance with Temptation of the Force is the last few chapters, where very slowly and clearly going set up the next book. Ultimately, not much has shifted. Though that being said, it's definitely my favourite High Republic book since Light of the Jedi. So compelling.
I'm only a few chapters into Temptation of the Force and this is way more personal and compelling than Eye of Darkness.
It feels on par to Light of the Jedi.
My biggest bug bear with Starwars books there doesn't seem to be a style guide between authors. Ro has complete tonal whiplash between books
Got be double gay this month to make conservatives extra uncomfortable
They done similar for the Acolyte Show, been told it woke so trying to review bomb but review bombing the wrong Acolyte show because they don't actually know what they're hating on they just be sent by griffters. Funny, this is what you were accused of inciting back in the day when you weren't.
I finished Star Wars Rising Storm today, and oooof, it was hard to finish. It didn't grip me as much as Light of the Jedi did. I think the main issue is they pivoted from mysticism and sci-fi crisis problem solving to erratically paced war story and set up. I hope Falllen Star is a bit more focused.
I'm about halfway through Godkiller by Hannah Kaner
I realised I like it because it's just fantasy Long Way to an Angry planet.
The world, the cultures naturally reveal themselves over time. The pacing is fast, but with downtime. Highly character driven
I recommend it to the Becky Chambers crowd.
I'm not shocked people don't realise Paul from Dune isn't a good guy, that my Dune Messiah was written but has similar energy to Rick and Morty Fans going ah Rick main protagonist he good, he just like me. Like, no, you're not meant to be a manipulative edge lord/ french boi colonialiser. That bad.
I'm ealry into Star Wars High Republic Rising Storm
I get the why everyone is rooting forKriss and Elzar relationship and the fallout causing the harsher rules around attachments, but...
I do love Elzar, just flirts with everyone as a get out jail free card. Can't be attached. I do this to everyone
Yeah, invasive species are bad for local environments and all, but.... I would enjoy casually encountering a racoon trying to wash a disregarded Greg's sausage roll
Funny Elon is accusing King of using drugs when Elon quite famously self medicates on ketamine and gets more unhinged by the day

I liked how they captured the world, grimmy but synthetic, class disparity, especially like the dystopian escapism at work. They seemed to understand that cyberpunk is more than just an aesthetic. Though I fell off near the end. I just didn't care for the characters that much.
Just had the surreal experience of encountering a book in my local independent book shop. An artist I got to do a talk in my undergrad. He off hand mentioned he was trying to get a book published. It actually happened. I have pretentious credits now. I worked with that author, don't you know.
It's refreshing to have a story that can exist in its own time and space without needing to relate or cameo the films. I also just enjoy the new ways they can explore the force and what it means to use it. Also, the exploring of sci-fi concepts like the fall-out when ftl can't be trusted.
Ah, you know what that makes perfect sense. I never made the connection. It really gets the destructive power across.
Does anyone have any opinions on the Closters by Katy Hays?
I read the blurb and was like, Oh my, I'm also a been in gothic archives. I'd love a goth mystery. But the blurb is wildly vague.
I've been reading God Killer casually the last month.
I'm so glad I saw it in the wild. This is one of the most compelling and well paced books I've ever read. The first chapter just choke holds you and throws you straight into the world, and I love it.
I'm near the end of Light of yhe Jedi, and I apologise in advance how insufferable I'll be because now I'm back into starwars.
Who knew a story about investigating a starship traffic collision would be so compelling
Finalising my project proposal after working with the supervisor and basically shifting focus to discuss the vision of masculinity in post revolutionary Ireland and its diaspora via modernist painting and literature from a queer and post colonial lense.
I need a catchy title
Honestly, the fact that my research background is so broad should be evidence enough for my adhd lol
As I'm constantly waiting to hear about funding and PhD. supervisors woefully under estimate processing times, and I'm still looking at more opportunities.
The current selection is the psychology of games as casual learning, masculinity in post revolutionary Ireland, and Black Welsh Art History.
This is a lie, and it's always been a lie. Something like ChatGPT needs a TON of text in the language you're targeting to train the model. You get it by licensing it, or you by paying people to write it for you, or by stealing it. What they're saying is it's impossible to create CHEAPLY.
Going definitely push to get some ingenious people in to feed and activate the artefacts. They need to talk to their friends.
