K’chain Che’malle. Fricken’ dinosaurs with fricken’ sword arms.

They’ve got Seth Dickinson as part of the writing team and literally everything I’ve read of his is fantastic, including game stuff and his novels and short stories, so I’m hopeful.

That or tags or something, I’d love to be able to block sports/anime/AI “art” altogether without my blocklist being gigantic

So they’re just doing a way shittier version of the movie “Her”?

The video for Pump It is also amazing

Take my opinion with a slight grain of salt because it’s been at least a decade since I read the book and a half of the series that I got through, but from what I recall the books just didn’t really have much to them - flat characters, awkward dialogue, and the actual prose itself was pretty bad. It was also boring enough that I just didn’t care about anything that was happening, and I’d read enough good fantasy by the time I read Eragon that its flaws were hard to look past - I know the dude was a teenager when he wrote it, but that doesn’t make the work magically better. Not trying to shit on anybody’s parade, but it just really wasn’t my thing.

I don’t know about worse, but the Eragon books and movie are equally terrible.

Malazan Book of the Fallen, Gentlemen Bastards series, most of Neil Gaiman’s work, The Library at Mount Char, the Baru Cormorant series, Gatsby, Flowers for Algernon, and most of Plath’s work - I go back to most of those every few years.

WHAT YEAR IS IT!?

but yeah, I’ve actually been going to Fark pretty regularly recently, I’d missed the hilariously misleading headlines.

Granted I’m not in California, but is this actually an issue? As someone with fairly intense dog/cat allergies it’s actually been really hard to find NON-pet-friendly places to rent - those seem to be the exception rather than the rule.

That’s actually not a bad idea in principal but would you want to live in a place after Matt Gaetz?

The “smart home” story in particular is oddly prescient.

I’ve been meaning to give it a try, but I only ever think of it when I’m already driving, which is probably among the worst possible times to learn a new interface

I’ve been getting ads in the search results on the iOS version of Google Maps for a while, super irritating.

“Watching porn at work, so both.”

And nothing of value was lost.
