5 sub-series, each 3-4 books. They are pretty short, so they go fast.
Series 3 is a sequel to 1, series 4 is a less-direct sequel to 2. Series 5 acts as an ending for 1/3 and epilogue for 2/4. I believe she is currently writing series 6, which will follow one of the main characters from 5. It’s all written chronologically though.
I have mostly used Reddit and Lemmy threads. I search for something like great magic systems or well-thought-out sci-fi and then grab some of the stronger recommendations.
Currently reading the Revelation Space books. They tickle the same itch as Expanse and Bobiverse, though the shifting cast from book to book keeps me less emotionally attached than the former. The influences on Bobiverse are strong.
Series 2 and 4 of Robin Hobb’s main universe follow female leads who absolutely fit this. Liveship Traders and Rain Wild Chronicles.
They can technically be read stand-alone, but I’d highly recommend reading the whole universe in order. It’s pretty quick.
Nah. They are detecting the collision in order to push the player, so the engine is doing the work already. They could easily add an on_collision_player event in the NPC controller that fires at that point to handle NPC reaction.
The age of the engine impacts things like loading screens, poor use of modern hardware, etc. The 2004-era NPC handling is simply a reluctance to do any more than the bare minimum.
This is suspiciously similar to the premise of The Little Red Car by Bernice Orawski. Great book.
Sounds handy. I just checked off the spreadsheet as I went.
The argument is that ethnic Chinese aren’t likely to mock their leader on the basis of being ethnically Chinese. Therefore, the origin of it is extremely unlikely to be based on race.
It sounds like a link can be a file path and clicking the link just opens the file. If that’s the case, this is effectively the same risk as filesystem shortcuts.
An amazing opening to a wonderful album.
Yep. Lovely reading font.
I love Linux Biolinum for reading. It’s a ‘humanist sans-sarif,’ which means it designs letters like a serif font but with less little bits stuck on.
XDC Vs. Arm Ant! Only one will surviiiiiive!
They claimed both were gang members. Their logic was as follows:
Not only is this batshit to begin with, she was the victim of the assault that is the root of the logic chain.
It also owns Twitter because Musk spent $33 billion in AI investment cash to buy Twitter from himself to pay off his debt.
Now he is using space investment money to pay off the AI investors.
The problem with translating classical RPG combat into an FPS is that the game already has physical missing based on player skill. The dice roll stacks on top of that. Add in the total lack of communication on whether a miss was you or the dice, and it makes the player think that the hitboxes just suck.
Later games that do something similar tend to move it to the enemy, giving them a chance to parry for reduced damage. It’s mechanically very similar, but it feels way better for the player since they can see the hit still connect.
Also, FedEx drivers > FedEx Ground drivers. FedEx Ground is all subcontractors, which just adds another layer of fuckery.
How do you keep creepy guys from pretending to be trans men to go in a female restroom?
You don’t. You require restrooms to be built to a higher privacy standard.
They added support for F5.
This reads like a line from a Noodle video.
They shut down their personal instance, so the specific inbox it is trying to reach hasn’t existed for a year and a half.
