Dehumanize humans, and humanize non-humans.
Makes sense to me…
But seriously, naming things is always a sticky wicket.
I tend to name my various devices as characters from Glen Cook’s The Black Company.
My iPhone is Thai Dei, my iPad is Soulcatcher, my Watch is Goblin, and my Mac is Mogaba. It helps me to keep them distinct from my simulators.
If I wanted really crazy names, I’d use Garret P.I. As a source.
- loufe 11mo agoFirst in-the-wild reference I've seen to some of my favourite books. I feel your watch as Goblin makes more sense if it's stuck around with you for a long time and generally works but is a bit of a pain to use. Thanks for the share.
- peterldowns 11mo agoGreat books! Strongly recommend for anyone into fantasy stuff.
- ChrisMarshallNY 11mo agoAnd they are still coming! I just finished Lies Weeping, which is #12, I think. There’s 2 more on the way. I suspect they are already written.
