Yeah a lot of the tutorial and the low-level missions are like that, but once you get into some cruisers/battlecruisers you start unlocking all kinds of fun PvE stuff like escalations/DED sites, wormhole ratting, etc. And PvP is a lot of fun once you get over the fear of losing ships, especially with a good group. I really enjoy flying support roles, being the most irritating ship on the field is always fun and often hilarious

Flying spaceships around and shooting things! Learning curve is definitely steep but it’s a lot of fun even while you’re figuring out wtf you’re doing, and there’s tons of variety in what you can do.

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

The man wants a glass of molk!

See, this dude’s an experienced and responsible Florida driver.

As a Florida Man I can confirm that this is 100% true.

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

Yeah, so I can totally avoid it!

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.

That was definitely the joke, yeah

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.

V-GINY!

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.

I guess part of my stance is that my definition of a “shitty person” includes those who would rather outsource their thinking to someone else, whether that’s a political, religious, or some other figure. Although a lot of that does get down to good education (whether formal or not), which not everybody has access to. Even with my relatively privileged upbringing I’ve had to unlearn a lot of crap over the years, and not everybody has that luxury.

Yeah you’re not wrong, that’s why I put the “and/or”.
