I love Sci fi but I'm very picky

Most of my favourite books/movies/TV shows are Sci fi - I love Mary Shelley, slaughterhouse five, annihilation (both the book and the movie), The Thing, x files, the invasion, and the OA. This feels like a pretty wide variety of writing styles when I line them up but 90% of the sci fi I read/watch I just don’t enjoy at all....

If you liked Annihilation, give Roadside Picnic a try.

Also I have a feeling you might be looking for a more literary style, so I recommend Robert Silverberg as a start.

In this day and age they would be TikTok stars.

Time heals all wounds. Make sure you don’t keep reopening them.

I make it in a French press. Dark roast, 30g per 500ml lukewarm water. Stir for uniform consistency. Refrigerate overnight (10 hours or so), enjoy in the morning!

I drink it straight. After brewing I transfer it to a teapot. 500ml is enough to last me the morning and early part of the afternoon.

Amazon Fire tablets have a decent screen. Can’t say much for the ecosystem or the app store, but if you’re mainly using it for comics, it’s workable.

Just wanted to say thank you for setting up and running these services. The Internet is exciting again. More power to you and the team!

This is the type of movement I’ve been looking forward to. I still visit Reddit but not for Reddit’s sake. I go for the high quality subs with tight moderation and good content that are still on Reddit. Once they move out, there’s no reason to stay on.

Black Hammer is so good

Burned through several issues and story arcs of Black Hammer by Jeff Lemire and collaborators. So good. Many familiar tropes but they feel fresh, it’s like reliving through comic history. What makes it work? I think it’s because it retells more than it rehashes and revises. Moreover, it’s respectful of its characters as...

Hashtags are your friend. It also helps if you have some active posters for the tag. I get good content from following and .

Just finished: "Becoming Superman" by J. Michael Straczynski as read by Peter Jurasik

Just finished “Becoming Superman” by J. Michael Straczynski as read by Peter Jurasik. Poignant, funny, occasionally uncomfortable, but fascinating. JMS being a nerd makes it all the more relatable. Some good insights into the workings of TV, Hollywood, and comics. Jurasik’s narration adds something special to it. It evokes...

At what speed do you usually listen to your audiobooks? How often do you flip between the audiobook and the text, if both are available?

I’m relatively new to audiobooks and I noticed some of the defaults that I’ve fallen into. I like listening at 1.2x speed, and I’m finding that I like to use the audio version to get into the cadence of things. If I really like the work or if I’m in a hurry to get to the end, I’ll switch to reading. How about you guys?

Five years is too generous, I think. At the end of the day, Reddit is just a forum and forums aren’t profitable. Unlike the time of the Digg migration, the technology and platform have been commoditized.

It’s a bit overpriced at Robinsons though. It’s cheaper at other shops.

Ha, you’re right. All it has is an expiration date. Fresh enough though that I prefer my brew over the ones from shops.

Good enough for me. Dark and rich, generally consistent in quality.
