Any chance it could also redirect based on current user load as well? This is the sort of load balance that fedi needs to implement at the base project pages to combat the initial 'where do I sign up?' question.

Yes. This is a feature of /kbin. I think it's more for the microblogging aspect, but I'm sure it will still put those people's posts in your subscribed feed.

I started Hyperion by Dan Simmons last week and it has been a bit of a slog to get into it. The world building is fantastic, the scifi concepts are next level, but the way the writing style changes during each characters recounting of their time on Hyperion is disorienting and takes a while to get back up to reading it at a normal speed if that makes sense. I'd recommend it to any true scifi fan at this point, but my opinion is still in limbo on whether I like it... I'll let y'all know later.

I had to take a break from it and read the second Murderbot novella Artificial Condition, which was an excellent distraction. :)

That's kind of sad. I read Chindi by Jack McDevitt years ago, only to find out later that it was smack in the middle of a series. I remember enjoying it though.

According to StoryGraph that one is #7 in the "Culture" series. How tightly are the books integrated, do you need to read them in order? Would you recommend starting at #1?

I loooved Hitchhiker's Guide! I never got around to reading the follow ups though. I'll have to add those to my "To Read" list.

How 'serious' of a campaign? My friends and I always have the most ridiculous events in our campaigns and that is what makes them fun. I dunno if I could do it with serious roles. :D

I like her Murderbot books enough that I would probably give anything she writes a chance!

18+ Ladies of Lemmy, how common is it for women to have foot fetishes like some men do?

Personally, I don’t get it. Foot rub sounds nice, but like not THAT nice. But I posted on a dermatology sub once and my DM’s blew up asking my gender. Just from dudes though. Are there some women who are perhaps more quietly excited by feet though? Random thought as I sit here grinding off my cracked heels…

I'm confused, I didn't think foot fetish was common among men either? There is definitely a niche for everyone on the internet, but I was not aware that it was a common place interest.

So anyone can pay to manipulate content now, and not just people with big pockets? Neat. I think I'll just buy @ernest more coffee...

Specifically food tastes?
I need food with lots of spices now. When I was younger I wanted the most bland foods, now I crave those strong spices like cayenne, cumin, pepper, fresh basil, and fresh garlic.

Lifestyle tastes?
I like to keep my social circle and setting small now. Like 5 total. That's enough.
I also like to do solo hobbies now with quiet reflection or listening to podcasts instead of music...

Well, reptiles and avians are both considered white meat I believe, so probably white.

I come back to the opening scene in The Newsroom all the time... It seems more and more relevant every time.

My only problem with picking up Apple TV for scifi is that all these shows are in their infancy. Most are only 1 season, and that hardly feels like enough motivation to start the show knowing there could just never be a second season. Netflix burned me with good shows getting cancelled and I can't motivate myself to start something with less than 2 seasons.

They also killed a main character for real life legal troubles. So that might be difficult to continue the cannon.

Ehhhh, they left several loose threads dangling in the wind...

There is a whole book about the planet with the fauna that brings organic tissue back to life. They just shut the door and called it a day.
Also, they barely touched the storyline of mass being lost with gate use.

They would have to pick up the pace a lot.
It might be a few seasons before they get there at this pace. The entire first season happens in the first few chapters of book 1...
