I assume you're reading the first books off Kindle Unlimited, since book 10 went up last month. What I like in the series is that each arc is well different (except when you stretch an interstellar war over 2 books, 10 & 11). Travelogues, politics (you may be OP, but politics >>> you), and...

I'd rather drink coffee. Preferably the best coffee, the one that went through the mangoose.

One of the history streamers I watch had this perfect take: "Remember: When an archeologist says an item may have a ritualistic nature, he really means that he has no fuckin' idea what it is."

Stop disseminating the recipe for Koign-Amann https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kouign-amann (also known as "butter with more butter and maybe some sugar and dough")

That's basically Deepak Choprah territory, or at best Roger "I am a big physicist, there a big biologist!" Penrose delirium. Your microtubules use Quantum Physics, therefore are weird. Guess what's weird due to Quantum Physics? Photosynthesis (and Solar Cells - which is what gave Einstein his...

Yes, Travis Deverell is an aussie. Anyone who starts their site with "Thanks, mate" can't be anything else.

I taught my dad how to keep his browsing secure from Mom.

But I can deceive all my coworkers just fine. Damn AI!

"Perihelion... 0.9 AU-just inside Venus's orbit" Considering Venus is orbiting at 0.72 AU, this shows how serous the article is. (also, the numbering doesn't quite make sense - the Zwiki catalog is typically date-three letter)

I should probably try this. I mean, all face apps stubbornly refuse to recognize my face, no matter what. iPhone FaceID? Nope. Bank app? Nope. Pornhub? Nope, "we can't recognize a face". (and I have no idea what triggers all of those)

Ackshually, there is a book with two levels. It's just that the second level is the shortest in the entire history of the Dungeon.

You mean The Princess Posse, not Carl...

So, you got a translation of my copy of Solaris? (translated in 1966 by Jean-Michel Jasienko) (tried to join a pic of the book - I still have - but my fuckin' iphone shows normal pictures, but sends blurred ones) *EDIT* Found a pic of the book spine:

Welcome to the club. Even my friend who never read any LitRPG bought everything after stumbling by pure chance on book 1.

The proposition does not require you to provide an offline mode. It requires you to release, upon ending the service, the appropriate code and documentation to allow people to run their own servers for the game.

MHI is Urban Fantasy, but Urban Fantasy made by a guy who likes guns rather than Urban Fantasy made by a single woman with furry fetishes (shapeshifter harem, here they come) or a yearning for her lost edgy teenage years (that's when you get the magical academy substyle of Urban Fantasy).

I signed this very early.

Well, all the pork that stays on the Big Bloated Bill has to come from somewhere.

FTFY

Welcome to the club.

Only things without mass can travel at the speed of light, and by a quirk of the math, they also cannot travel below the speed of the light.

I mean, there is a moon that is held in non-orbit with mana energy.

Remember: with relativity, always say "as seen by". As seen by you, assuming your using an on-board engine, you are accelerating at 1G. You are still accelerating at 1G, no matter how close to the speed of light you are; you're perfectly comfortable. As seen by the outside observer, your...

Yes, most of the "beer makes you piss" comes from the fact that you aren't drinking a small can. It doesn't matter the liquid, once you're drinking 2-4 pints in short order, you're going to piss a lot.

"How far away do you have to go before the sun is merely a star like any other?"

There is a reason why it's called the Senate Launch System.

"Avoid the Slayer" ... "You should have listened!!!"

Was hacked using unmaintained PHP (always keep up your system to date). The entire list of the user emails (yes, there are registered users) is now out there, including the mods. Notably those with @edu or @gov adresses. It's not going to look good if you dodged DOGE just to get caught being a...

Most people have made the comparison with Mother of Learning at first, but it is extremely different.

(by the way, the sequel "After 1177 BC" is horribly dry and boring for most people who enjoyed the first)

That is mostly because you're expected to be able to solo everything, except group-designed dungeons and raids (and some modern MMOs have dungeons that can be tackled solo as soon as you overlevel them just a little bit). If you need to be able to solo everything, you need to have a bit of...

There are. Pity 99% of them are mobile/PC ports of asian grind/P2W fests that die within 2 years.

The Pyramids being built by slaves is basically a Hollywood myth. The truth is that the peasants had nothing to do during the flood season, and idle peasants are dangerous, so they got mobilized into those projects (be it temples, palaces, or pyramids) for a couple months before being let go to...

That's because it was a phone game originally, before they decided it would go on PC/Consoles.

Extremely unlikely. Without a spoiler, it's fairly evident that the "hive" species that's the main aliens behind the Expanse universe is nothing like the one described here.

Doesn't sound like it from the blurb. And yes, the last book includes an epilogue a few centuries/thousand years in the future, so you have a guess about the shape of the human diaspora.

Guess what? You Americans named this after the mount (or rather, the island whose name is the same as its main feature).

Did read most of the series when it was on RR. Guy is a bit of weirdo (of course), which makes his actions always feel bizarre. But yes, sitting and meditating will go on par with the course. All those ultra-high-end LitRPG turn into cultivation-adjacent stuff at one point because the author...

Started playing, got distracted by something else, and never started it back.
