    I'm listening to the chrysalis series he narrates and he also adds a tremendous amount of context through the narration. I wonder how much is narrator/producer driven vs the author interacting with the recording process. I guess audiobook sales surpass ebook/book sales for DCC, so it makes sense...

    One Piece

    Finished season 2, excellent show. I love how unapologetic they are about aligning to the manga. Smoker with two giant cigars is a great example of them embracing the source material and making it work.

    Nice, really good changes that go after exactly the issues I have. [General] Improved the response speed of the interaction UI. [General] Improved the responsiveness of jump inputs. [General] Fixed aiming to target the center of the screen when using a Lantern or while unarmed...

    Crimson Desert

    I'm enjoying this game but know ill enjoy it a ton more once they figure out some improvements to the controls. Fortunately I'm going on vacation in a couple of days and will need to spend some time in EQ after. Like, the dumbass mouse + gamepad + foot pedals I use conquers any keyboard piano...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Not really. I'm on Bristlebane in a large guild (Ring of Valor) and can recommend both the server and the guild. But I'm not playing regularly.

    Yeah it's a pretty good time to pay for a sub. btw you have until April 20th to take advantage of it. https://www.everquest.com/news/eq-27th-anniversary-2026 I'm planning on popping some krono in a couple of weeks to get some fresh heroics that I've got to get ready for when I play SoR later...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    Arrays vs lists is one of the great "Bike Shed" ( Law of triviality - Wikipedia ) traps of code reviews. Best way to handle those discussions (besides just changing to whatever data structure is appropriate, which is suprisingly array more often than people think...) is to profile the difference...

    Yeah I get what you're saying. I don't remember specifics about it. I just remember . Related, I enjoy it when authors write how a character sounds immediately before their first words, especially when they are very inhuman and it sounds like a challenge to the narrator: "The entity opened its...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I could only play Starfield if they basically redid everything and with a different team. The game design at a high level, sci-fi adventure + exploration + procedural + space combat is extremely appealing to me, but the team missed nearly every mark starting with the setting. My ideal game I...

    Crimson Desert

    Damn this is the greatest game ever made and anyone who didn't pay full price is a fat jobless loser. I also heard the game is getting nerfed in the first patch and anyone who doesn't play on release doesn't get the real experience.

    I've been leveling up yvonne + tangtang + xaihi + perlica. I really don't like it because I don't like Yvonne. I think if I didn't start playing Crimson Desert I'd get Last Rite.

    I don't judge an author for wanting to see their creation in live action. They've been looking at drawings of their work for their entire career like the below No matter how great those drawings might be, when they finally make it big and get a real budget to do something, do they really want...

    The synopsis of the first fictional book reminds me of my thought process when i finish a series and look for a new book. This meme pokes fun of that process: I sometimes try to read a critically acclaimed book instead of yet another sci fi or fantasy or litrpg book, but some of those books...

    Arknights Endfield

    I ended up getting tangtang, took quite a bit of pulls but I got 2x of her weapon on the first pull. I might as well get Yvonne's weapon since I have so much Arsenal Tickets. Still have 130 pulls worth of currency with a full roster... I probably won't pull Rossi but who knows. Real...

    Eh, you'd probably be better off just googling a random top litrpg list. is as good as any. But really, once you read a few of the recognized top series, stating what you like and asking for recommendations will probably provide better results than going through a list.

    Bryan Johnson is a certified cunt

    You don't have to be envious of Bryan Johnson. All it takes to look like an vampiric mid 40s man as a 48 man is 3 hours of staring at red lights, a diet consisting entirely of vegan pills and installing green plant wallpaper on every surface of your home.

    How do you selective do your friend's power plant deliveries? Or do you just do the deliveries in the list? I didn't think those people were on your friend's list.

    Bryan Johnson is a certified cunt

    Who performs the cunt certification? Are they certified? If you get certified as a cunt are you also certified as a dick and ass too, or are these separate certifications? If you make a thread as vain and vile is this about a weird rich guy doing weird rich things, are you likely to be a...

    Arknights Endfield

    Yeah but I've been lucky with operator pulls and unlucky with arsenal pulls so I'm not pulling for a weapon for a character i don't like. I think last rite works pretty well with tangtang.

    Arknights Endfield

    I got Yvonne from the free tickets. I don't really like her nor do I have her signature weapon. I still think the Last Rite team would be good... Part of it is that I'll probably get Rossi on my alternate account and this game is more fun when you're pulling operators vs saving.

    Arknights Endfield

    I'm thinking about pulling for Tangtang and matching her with Last Rite, Xaihi and Flourite. I've used none of those characters so far. I've been sloooowly leveling up the Avywenna team and it's fine but I did the 1.1 content with Laevatain and it's so much more fun. It's the difference between...

    Is it still relatively easy to become bottlenecked by the outpost trade credits? I hope they keep balancing that way so people don't have to choose between their own shitty homegrown builds and hyperoptimized internet builds.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I enjoy playing punishing games but a turn-based game built on lethal failures from literal dice roles having a hardcore difficulty mode is the gaming equivalent of pickle and jelly sandwiches. However, much like a pickle and jelly sandwich I enjoy laughing at someone eating it. Please keep us...

    I regret not doing my dailies this morning :D Just a small thing I really love about this game. In the title screen the steady techno beat continues, but once the game loads Endmin stands up and marches triumphantly in beat with the game's soundtrack reaching a climax. It's great.
