I really hope they get the controls down right.  Gamepad controls back in the late 90s and early 2000s were clunky things so I’m really hoping they’ve smoothed it out and made left stick camera, right stick movement now.

They don’t have controller support for those games.  It’s all mouse and keyboard.  Fuck that noise.

Absolutely.  The storytelling on TV the past decade has been far better than the majority of the swill hollywood puts out now.  Also with season long story arcs now - it should be more than enough to show that a writer can sustain a 2 hour storyline.

What you made me think of....

Scurvy? Malnourishment is a thing. Apparently there’s truth to my mom’s reasoning when I was a child. She told me if I ate my peas I’d get better eyesight. I never made the corollary that you could also lose your eyesight if you didn’t eat them but there you have it. LOL

Why his parents didn’t get help for something this serious baffles me.

Now you’re making false equivalencies.  We’re talking about doing something to change our climate.  Not making bombs.  Removing CFCs was simple enough, nothing in nature creates CFCs naturally to deplete our ozone. (not as far as I’m aware at any rate)   Carbon however, is a natural part of our environment and you can…

Big difference between identifying a man made chemical as an environmental hazard and stopping it, and identifying a naturally occurring gas in nature that trees absorb (and thrive on) that even if the whole human race stopped emitting would STILL be produced by nature and is in fact necessary for our planet.

And every generation believed they had an environmental crisis that turned out to be nothing.

That’s extremely narrowminded. For those struggling with hearing issues and working to train their hearing better, captioning allows them to follow along with a narrator while listening. If you’re trying to follow along while reading the book you can easily lose your place and struggle to find it.

Would you expect…

I hope audible wins.  I can see this being especially useful for the hard of hearing, new cochlear implant patients, and books who's narrator has a strong accent.

I loved it back in the day.  But cringe at how breaking the 4th wall became such a cliche, SO many people started doing that and it became such a 90s thing to do.

Quantum sounds like Magic

Do they even get residuals like actors in mainstream television and movies?  It sounds like they get totally screwed over... and on the other topic - I would be very interested in Mia’s experiences and other things she has to say.  It’s a shame that was ignored.

It did?  I quit after the crap he wrote with Severed Souls.  It was just SO bad.

Which book was that? The Chimes?  Soul of the Fire I think was it?

She’s gone for more than half the books really.  She exits in The Fires of Heaven if I recall and doesn’t come back until the very last book.

Yup they did.  I’ve heard it was even better than the first one, but alas - it doesn’t have controller support so I haven’t played it.  I DO own the actual CDs, and my case is buried somewhere in my pile of computer stuff... I really should dig it out sometime.

I can still use M&K but my wrist hurts and my back aches after too long at it. I really don’t understand the prejudice against controllers from these people. Joystick gaming has been around a LOT longer than M&K for good reason, it’s just more comfortable and intuitive.

I’m stunned World of Warcraft still hasn’t gotten…

I have. It’s very clunky.
