  • Hence why all sentences are and/or. Fine of $100,000 and/or 1 year old prison.

  • People liked to hate on reddit for it devolving into that. But the opposite extreme was Tildes which was all text based. Fediverse is thriving though which is the closest to reddit. Yes, comments will be like reddit. Pick and choose when people are open for discussion.

    Puns and Memes will always be top content for a reason. Most people are looking for a quick 15 minute distraction, not a book club.

    • How do you feel about audiobooks?

  • As you could tell from the books I listed... I read high fantasy and epics lol. Foundation was the lightest of the bunch but had the slowest reader.

    Add in time you have to rewind because something important came up which actually required your attention. Easily 36+ hours. Way of Kings was a monster at 45:30. - 1007 pages.

    The Wheel of Time series is made up of 11,898 pages. This amounts to an average of 793.20 pages per book in the series.

    Not doing them all. First 4 which are the least page #s: 28:57. 28:23. 24:48, 41:13,

    Frank Muller RIP then George Guidall 7:20, 12:47, 18:14, 27:35, 26:20, 14:09, 28:50.

  • Because that’s my question?

    You asked a question on the internet and didn't expect an ' inclusive or?'

    You're going to get a simple yes every time for top comment lol.

    You'll also get neithers. Then you'll get trolly problems, then the politics... You know how it goes.

    • How do you feel about audiobooks?

  • I've gotten through almost all of the Dark Tower, books 11-13? Of WoT, stormlight archive book 1, all of Foundation?, All of Asoiaf, On audiobooks. I'd recommend them all as they each have great orators with unique voices for characters.

    I used to work lawn care and it was perfect to basically read for 9 hours every day while getting paid.

    These days it's way more desk work and unless I'm doing specific tasks which are rote, it's harder to do.

    They have their place, but you'll read way faster than you'll listen.

    Most books are in the 36-48 hours of listening range. Meanwhile I could bang out a book regular in about 24 pending distractions. I used to read a lot faster but found I was brimming a lot of content.

  • I'm pretty sure I got stuck on some Samson quest in that game for like two years before I found some guide telling me what to do?

    Kinda reminds me of Wild Arms 2 and a puzzle toward the end about days of the week but it was some bad Japanese translation or some shit?

    Stuff like that is just killer.

  • Yeah perpetual royalties are a nonsense slippery slope. People are pushing for it in all the wrong ways wanting a piece of the pie from the higher ups when in reality the way the money flows just needs to be altered.

    Bridge and road crews don't get to get a penny every time someone drives over stuff.

    Creation does not mean benefit in perpetuity. It means you created something. You should be paid properly for it, yes, but it doesn't mean every time someone mentions your book you get a penny from them lol.

    Melancholy Elephants was a great Hugo Award short story about this very thing written in 1983. It's a great read for those who want to go in a bit blind. http://spiderrobinson.com/melancholyelephants.html

    How the hell do you spoiler tag on Kbin? lol
