I love a lot of his work, but he is insufferable. Its like he never got all of his edge lordiness out of his system when he was a teen, and now he is doubling down.

Nebula is great, but they dont seem to be adding many creators, which is a real shame, and not taking any suggestions for new channels, means its alway going to be pretty limited in its offering. Which is why i cant REGULARLY sub to it. The content is just super limited.

Games@lemmy.world•"You're swimming against the tide making games like this": Why more developers didn't copy Firewatch's reactive storytellingEnglish
1·23 days agoI enjoyed the game quite a bit. It told a weird story that i enjoyed, in a small game world that i enjoyed being in. It could have been better in many ways, but id go so far as to say i loved it. As a game to just chill and play, without needing to be on your guard all the time, it was relaxing and entertaining. It was like reading a good book, you wanted to see what happened next.
Im not sure that id want for this style of gaming to be the next big thing, but I would have liked to have seen that style built on. Its a shame Campo Santo disappeared into Valve… I had hoped that Valley of the Gods would still see the light of day, but he says thats unlikely. Its a shame that Valve devours great game makers, then they never make games.

Technology@lemmy.world•In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mudEnglish
71·2 months agoIm certain I could tell the difference between a $50,000 setup, and the one i have cobbled together for a couple hundo over the past decade… And i would love to have that setup. But that cost to performance is only worth it if you have way too much disposable income. Eff the audiophile market.


You will get varying degrees of people crapping on A Song of Ice and Fire, because it is incomplete… But the tale telling in his books are imo, unparalleled. Ive read and reread the series several times, and it always pays off, especially if you get into the deeper storytelling that you miss on the first read. Ive finally reached a peace with the author, after hating in him like everyone else… That is because i realized that id rather live in a world with the story he started, than live in a world where i never experienced the story at all.
Last week i finished the first book of a trilogy i had never heard of, and its a damn shame it doesn’t have more fans. I urge anyone who sees this to add at least the first book to their reading list. That would be Bernard Cornwell’s “The Winter King”. It is a retelling of the King Arthur tale, from a new angle, and i LOVED it. The first book is pretty amazing on its own, and it stands alone. I have started the 2nd book, but not gotten too far into it.
Id also like to recommend The Black Company books by Glenn Cook. These are a different slant on fantasy, and really good.
