He's headed to Kindle Unlimited and Audible on March 9th. Although I'm confused, since he's keeping book 1 on Patreon. Either I do not understand properly the KDP rules, or his book is about to get nuked the next day - KDP is an exclusivity deal for 6 months minimum, and the patreon copy would...

That's a common theme in all those reincarnated as babies stories. Apparently, being self-aware from birth tends to give you all kind of advantages.

They're virtue signalling. It's not trying to cater to those categories, it's trying to cater to the predominantly white male SJW crowd by saying "see: we're the ones you must trust!"

Yea, as I mentioned in the general playing thread, been playing it. They seem pretty responsive - CM very active in the steam forum, and after the last patch broke down completely the balance the wrong way, they pushed a small hotfix very quickly. So far, relatively hopeful.

It's too bad they finally moved the second launch to Friday, though...

There is a reference manual down the line (just checked, it's placed at the end of book 1, but includes spoilered sections for the following books). And actually, no, it stays that way for a while. I was utterly confused about things for at least half a dozen chapters before things started to...

Comments (and announces) are confusing, because it already looks like one is being pushed to Friday?

Scott Manley speculated that the problem was clearly engine-related, as the other engine was fed correctly with fuel. Couldn't fire correctly, lots of flaming at the top of the nozzle...

During what?

Started recently with "Surviving the Aftermath", then realized on the next patch I had missed the "early access" mention. It's looking to be a good post-apocalypse base building game, but it's unbalanced as hell (and currently not in the right way - easiest difficulty is completely unforgiving...

FLYING small town grain silos.

Actually, the current fad is about the wombat's cubic poop. https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/01/its-the-wombats-strange-intestines-not-its-anus-that-produces-cubed-poo/

"Now that everyone is at the tournament, let's see how long it will be before they run into each other"

Yes, because a lot of the dialogue options are locked behind stat checks, and mostly those two (probably a few CHA ones as well, but not as much). You see that explicited in BG3, I think, where some dialogue and actions tells you why you're allowed to pick that choice due to class/stats.

The ones still standing when the music stops are going to be plenty hurt...

I was going to ask about Icewind Dale 2, but that's the only one without an enhanced edition that runs on modern computers correctly. (according to wikipedia, that's because nobody has the source code. Like, WTF?)

Had it happen to me. I lasted 10 minutes before I ripped out the battery again to make sure it stayed silent until replaced.

I want them to use Shkadov drives! (basically, you do half a Dyson sphere around a sun, and use the resultant asymmetric solar wind and light pressure as a reaction to propel your entire solar system around)

In the States? Probably. Not for Europe, but then, we're all filthy socialists out against corporate profit motive or something...

The "contact us discreetly and negotiate a deal" one.

New one: The WEIRDest People in the World: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51710349-the-weirdest-people-in-the-world Starts with a few generalities before getting into the thing that savaged psychology in the 21st century: almost all psychological experiments were unable to be replicated...

It's a kind of weird gamelit-adjacent series. It's a "real" magic system, not a RPG system. It's properly called "Progression Fantasy", the umbrella for every fantasy book where the character's personal power levels grow in an objective manner (and there's a lot of classic fantasy that falls...

It's a bit worse than that. He says he's rewritten entire sections of the book to fix the issues in them. Which means you have to re-read the newer book if you want to continue the series, since I'm expecting some "uh? when did that happen?" issues to crop up later. So, no.

I have issues with M. Kerr re-releasing his third book in that series due to massive editing problems. Even if he promised a free copy for anyone who had previously purchased it, that's the kind of move that makes me drop an entire author, no matter how good his series are. Rohan Vider almost...

Not half, apparently she "only" got 25% of his Amazon stocks... still enough to plunge him down.

Also, on Amazon on Jan 12th (at least book 1 - we're on book 3 now on RR).

Musk ditched his wife. Twice. (plus a previous one once)

When it comes to cultivation stuff, I recently discovered Memories of the Fall, which is full-on xianxia written by a westerner. By full-on, I mean sects plots, multiple worlds, mega-powerful million years-old cultivators, corrupt families, the inevitable Arrogant Young Master... And a god...

He could use his capital to finance Starship to mars!

He's no flunky of the Emperor, though. He now has more money than Bezos: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/07/elon-musk-is-now-the-richest-person-in-the-world-passing-jeff-bezos-.html (oh, the two richest men in the world are both Space Geeks! Get them to work together, dammit!)

... made in China.

"It's a small indie company, give them a break..." https://www.wowhead.com/news=320333/placeholder-anima-powers-in-torghast-cripples-twisting-corridor-runs TL;DR: Several classes still have Placeholder anima powers in Thorgast (that is: none), which is becoming a massive issue when you need to...

If you look at the stats, then no. There are more people dying at 50 from heart attacks than at 40, and less than at 60. It's just that 40 is the age at which heart attacks begin "in earnest". Evolution stops caring very much about your heart after you've finished having babies.

Yes, I think in chapter 4, the two guards who welcome the Flatts to Spur (back when they are still not understanding the language) are commenting about the fact that he ogles both of them equally:

Incanis are proto-demons; horns, blue to red skin shades, and weird eyes, if I remember right. Orcols are green-skinned ultra-tall top-models. With tiny fangs.

Don't worry, Magnus will save us!

Well, the author is taking a small vacation - posting is suspended until next year :)

Case in point: the epilogue of the Mandalorian. (it's still rough, I admit)

One of my friends has basically given up on getting any refund on that one. Despite the strong protections that EU gives you, it's been close to impossible to get any form of refund for a few years, once it became apparent on how much of a scam it was.

Ah. Forget some parts of the world don't have fiber and 10Mbyte per second downloads. (seriously, that's the deciding factor when I hit retirement. I'd love to go countryside, but fuck if my speed goes below at least 50Mbps)
