I always super identified with adata growing up, awkward social interaction, and I, myself did the mimicry thing, still catch myself doing it when meeting new people. I found out I’m autistic 3 years ago, and Data is a SUPER autistic coded character.
My wife does this. She technically has a southern accent, but since she lives near Philly she mostly has the standard mid Atlantic accent, sometimes a Philly accent, but she’s only the phone every day doing customer support and she’ll switch to British accents, Hispanic accents, Indian accents… she just does that. Over the phone not as awkward, but in person can be quite weird. Makes it extra fun when we play D&D though.
They’re not shooting us YET but I’m sure it’s coming. I’m trans and HERE and scared as fuck.
Economic crash is happening anyway
I mainly use PayPal as a necessary evil so I don’t have to pull out my wallet and put the card info in every time I want to buy a game. I dunno maybe I SHOULD go back to that because then only the games that are worth the effort of getting up off the couch are the ones I’d buy.
US, obviously.
One of the things I’m happy with AI for is that it does summary meeting notes along with searchable transcripts. Helps so much when trying to reference things that were said on calls
I’m almost offended for my profession. Most of the programmers I know are quite tech literate, to the point it floors me when I find a coworker who is tech illiterate. Like, bro, it’s literally our job.
HE REDUCES THE NUMBER OF NUKES BY FIRING THEM AT ALLIED COUNTRIES
Yeah god that sounds like a nightmare.
I mean… Kinda Baldurs Gate 3, especially if you are a high charisma class. You can also be monk. They key is dont use attack spells, and knock everyone out instead of killing them on thr mandatory fights. SO MANY of the fights in that game can be avoided or skipped with dialogue. You can, for example, bluff your way entirely into the enemy bases, use their shops, and completely decide to stay out of conflicts. Again, like you said in NV, sometimes the ‘pacifist’ routr makes you feel like shit. Like, you can skip having to side with either Minthara or the tieflings in act 1 simply by leaving for act 2. A lot of people die in the background though.
Only mandatory fights I think are at the end of act 2, and the final boss fight. Everything else can be avoided or conversationally skipped. In the final fight, depending on allies you got throughout the game you can technically have them fight everyone. Or you can just stealth past everything with greater invisibility or as monk or rogues that can sprint really fast.
Well, only on chapter 22/89 and the moon has not yet hatched. I do love how snarky the main character is and there was some trauma that drives the story forward and makes you want someone to die really bad who may be the main villain possibly.
(Finished HWFWM12 and HIMMUMLI4FD) so… narrowing it down but i also started Judicator Jane 5…
Its really odd, cause you’d think they’d just want to make money no matter where it comes from.
Yeah… pretty much every series i read i look forward to the next one.
Kevin Hearne is a good one I buy everything he does. Iron Druid (Urban Fantasy), Ink & Sigil (Iron Druid Spinnoff/continuation), Kill the Farm Boy (High Fantasy Parody). All great stuff. Also went to 2 of his book signings.
I buy every new Hollows book (Urban Fantasy and somewhat post apocalyptic) from Kim Harrison, every new Schooled in Magic and all Nameless World spin offs (Isekai magic school and story well past graduation) from Christopher G. Nutall. All Black Ocean(sci fi space western) books by J.S. Morin. Whatever book J.N. Chaney is writing as well (Sci fi space operas). I also wait for a bunch of litrpgs next books. He Who Fights With Monsters by Shirtaloon, Judicator Jane (new one just came out!) from Brian Rouleau, System Universe by SunriseCV… And I’m constantly discovering new authors to get excited about.
Does Pedro Pascal really have an accent though? Every interview i can find of him he sounds very american. Only when he said his name did I even hear a hint of a Chilean accent.
Very ADHD reader here, but reading:
When the Moon Hatched - Sarah A Parker - High fantasy where magical people have to register and be used by the government similar to FF16, except the Moon is a dragon egg (like FF14)… Actually wondering if Sarah A Parker is a Final Fantasy Fan…
He Who Fights With Monsters 12 - Shirtaloon (Travis Deverall) - My favorite LitRRPg series. Jason Asano is now basically a god, yet manages to stay grounded the best he can. He’s having to deal with the fact that people treat him differently now because of his power level, and learning diplomacy and all that.
How I Magically Messed Up My Life in Four Freakin Days - Megan O’Russell - This is a fun YA urban fantasy. I actually bought a few books from the author herself at Thy Geekdom Con in Philadelphia a few months back.
And my fall asleep Audiobook of the Moment: The Echo of Old Books - Barbara Davis - I mainly only read fantasy and sci-fi and this could barely be called fantasy. It’s mainly a historical romance told from the perspective of someone who happens to have a little bit of magic… its almost like the modern day story is irrelevant… anyway I picked it up as a Kindle first read and the audiobook was in turn $2 so I’ve got my money’s worth.
Unless it has been able to do longer and Im not up on my AI news… I’m talking continuous shot.
“Anything that I don’t like is woke” word has lost meaning.
