This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone seems to be a popular book lately so I've been working my way through it but tbh so far it's pretty awful. I hope it gets better as I'm tempted to stop.

@Nonya_Bidniss I loved Time War, but it's definitely not for everyone. Worth seeing through, though, given how brief it is.

@SFRuminations The berserker series has yet to be turned into a Hollywood movie or TV series. But it should!

@mastomememakers that one is totally accurate

Watched it for the umpteenth time last night. 42 years old and as long as you're not watching the original theatrical release, it's a near perfect film. A pure masterclass.

Scrapper Ship. A repurposed asteroid mining vessel, with lasers still in place. Now home to a single crew member, scraping a living between Ceres and Mars.

Started a new SDF modeling project in MagicaCSG.

It's going to be a sci-fi drone. More updates will follow tomorrow.

@metin How much of this image did you have in your head when you started, and how much did you discover as you created it?

@kbob I had the global shapes in mind: main part, propellers / fans at the sides, two "legs" / "arms" with guns, and the lens. The rest of the shapes and details were conceived as I went along.

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 153.

Each of Emma Newman's Planetfall quartet explores a different aspect of the same overarching story of religious driven intergalactic migration. In Atlas Alone (2019), the fourth story centres on an elite gamer & their attempt to uncover & then take revenge for a crime against humanity. To say much more would ruin the plot for you, but as with the others, this is great, fascinating sci-fi, which has a great payoff at the end.

@firefly @fskornia @TimWardCam @ChrisMayLA6 @bookstodon Interesting you quote the very thing you denounce.

@fskornia @TimWardCam @ChrisMayLA6 @bookstodon

What thing is being denounced? Specifically, and exactly, what is being denounced?

Are you conflating the Bible with Christianity? The twain shall never meet.

More than half of the Bible was written and in circulation 900-1500 years before the existence of Christianity.

If you read the Bible without Christian blinders on, it is plain that the Bible condemns Christianity and all other religions as idolatry. Rather the Bible authors call men to worship God in spirit and truth without regard to a priesthood or place.

This dramatization shows a recorded event from the Bible demonstrating what Jesus taught about the end of religion:

@thisnorthernboy kind of looks like Lego to me, I think because of the grating on top and the glowy antenna things on the sides

In the game, one of the protagonist's tasks will be to collect flora and fauna biomaterial. After collecting the samples, they can be viewed in the inventory. Maybe there will be a mechanics - mixing and testing samples properties

Do you know Stanislaw Lem, the fabulous Polish author?

He wrote several stories about and artificial intelligence (real one, not ).

Among many others, I love the hilarious "The Washing Machine Tragedy", as it highlights the relationship between , and .

Written in 1963, it foreshadows prophetically many of current developments.

In the story, two corporations begin to "enhance" their washing machines with all kind of "smart" tech to the point,

Ja, Polnisch lesen zu können, wäre schon klasse.

Da beneide ich dich ein bisschen.
