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.

My neighbors gen z kids for the last 3 years had parties like this all the freaking time… so yeah they still happens. Maybe its just less common.

So far as I know, AI can only make like 10-second videos. This is much longer a continuous shot. Plus if you just look at the way the wind is blowing the cloth behind the barrier, the shadows are all correct as it bangs against it. I’m no forensics person but that seems pretty realistic to me.

Trump rails on everyone he thinks did the slightest wrong to him but hasn’t said a WORD about the Butler shooter.

I thought aleverything was fishy as fuck with thr shooting, down to the timing of it when he was really falling behind in polls, to thr secret service keeping him on stage instead of IMMEDIATELY ushering him off stage, to the absolutely perfect propaganda shot. Now seeing it from this angle its just… wow. But why did it take so long for this video to come out?

I used to read physical books all the time when I was younger, but as I aged and audiobooks became downloads instead of massive multiple disc CD sets, I shifted. Isn’t because I can’t read anymore, and my eyes havent failed me yet that I need reading glasses, but I just like doing OTHER THINGS while reading. Plus I extra love when voice actors make it a PERFORMANCE. In ye old days it used to be just a narrator reading the words, often tonelessly, but Audible books these days are PERFORMANCES. I like popping on an audio book while im driving, while im in bed trying to fall asleep, and while im playing a grindy part in a video game. Or a video game that doesn’t have voice acting so I can enjoy 2 stories simultaneously, or Roguelike video games where there’s no story at all, or story beats only occur when you’re at your home base.

Me beating the first boss before I figure out the game had a leveling system…

Lol ok. I love marvel, great choice of clip.

That was so hilarious I felt i had to have AI make me a picture

I’m trans. Born male, transitioned female. I’ve always had a female inner monologue. Nothing like what I sound like out loud.

Ugh I have a bad allergic reaction to pokeweed. One IS too much. Yet I have to weed it anyway and nearly die in the process.

Oh boy I’m both!

cis hetero *neurotypical white man/woman. I only fit the white category. The LGBT will be next to be rounded up into camps. Not sure if I should flee the country or just accept my fate.

Test of time was the definitive version of civ 2

Yeah… that’s even more fucked.

They already have enough of a persecution fetish.

I hate the whole conservative Christian doctrine. Saying you NEED religion or else you’ll be a terrible person and do terrible things. It’s like, goddamn I dont need religion to have morality and know what’s right and wrong. And then these fuckers have the gall to say godless heathens are the evil ones while doing the exact things Jesus told them NOT to do!
