I couldn't stomach the giddy tone. I tried to read it later as an adult and still felt like I was being narrated to by a breathless geography teacher who was bouncing on every word, instead of just presenting the events and letting me

K.A Applegate's letter to distressed fans after the series ended is worth a read > Pretty soon you'll all be of voting age, and of draft age. So when someone proposes a war, remember that even the most necessary wars, even the

Enders Shadow was the real series. I don't quite like how it ended, but that's OSC for you.

My ex was really into her, but I never quite got the appeal. The character seemed to far-fetched to be relatable. Then I read Anne of Green Gables as an adult, and began to understand that there are harsh and endearing moments amongst the c

I think Philip Pullman was an important part of my teen to young adult transition. His books read extremely well at all ages as he knows how to relate the magic and stress of uncertainty for both child and adult alike.

The suffering becomes gratuitous after a certain point (spiderman? really?), so I think I just rejected that aspect and focused more on what made the Gunslinger so good: a slow relentless chase across an unknown world where the lines of goo

Agreed. The Dark Tower series works very well as independent books exhuding their own exotic charm. As a canonical series, it's a jumbled mess of barely connected themes tied together only by Kingcs own ego (maybe that's the point

I can't without doxxing myself sadly. The image vision detection is built into the SoC, no clue about the underlying library but it is programmable to a degree, so I assume it must be OpenCV

Honestly, of all the empires that could have stolen I'm glad it was the British. Cruel, destabilizing, more atrocities than any other empire, but somehow the royal class had a culture of conservation for (some) wildlife and historical

Same with Phil Hartman and Matt Berry, they can make the most boring lines instantly funny through sheer power of charisma and vocal inflections.

Yep, good software and the dev (nutomic) is the main Lemmy coder, meaning the fediverse is in good hands.

There was one pub not far off TCR that had a nice sofa and fireplace. We'd always have one of us duck out early to secure the spot an hour or two before.

They do though. The old guard keeping the depressing pubholes alive do so by watching their football there. It's usually just one or two screens, granted, but they're there. Thankfully they can be easy ignored.

Data cassette tapes look like they could have held up to max 600 MB[0], but CDs came out at out of the gate in 1980s with 650 MB. I guess in terms of storage I can't quite grasp why he thought that CD wouldn't take on. (Hindsight

Scrolling through this thread, I feel like I am the only one who experienced a web page where the CSS gave me a blank rectangle on the left side, with all the content smushed narrowly to the right.

I do wonder who the game appeals to though, since it's sold on PC and Xbox. I played it as a child on my PC and the experience was quite immersive, even if the graphics were bad. I recently played the new one on the console, and it jus
