Found this album recently and was pleasantly surprised! I often listen to chillwave/dreamwave as background music, but find a lot of it kinda unremarkable. This is is definitely a cut above, imo....
I would like to present you another French artist, that puts out some real’ nice mix of Synth, Chiptunes and Metal. If you like Carpenter Brut this might be your jam as well! Not sure if this qualifies as Synthwave, though. If not, the mod can remove it, I won’t get upset ;-)
I'm looking for recommendations. I usually use Overdrive with books I've downloaded (I think in the epub format). But now I hear that Overdrive is no longer being supported (I think the company wants people to use their Libby app instead). I'm hoping to find something open source and privacy minded. Also not wild about what...
Random thought today when updating some of my recent reads on Goodreads. I heavily use the Star score when prioritising new authors / series to try out, and obviously no book can be perfect, so for the majority of my reads I'm going to be looking at an average score of 4.something....
I don't think you're hurting anything by rating accurately. I can understand wanting to boost (or maintain the score of) a book that has very few ratings, but once you hit a certain threshold, a single rating won't affect much. Ultimately, a 4-star rating can't drop the average below 4.0, so unless there's a subsequent slew of less-than-4-star reviews, it should still qualify for (what I imagine is) many people's criteria.
Personally, I skip reading 5-star reviews in favor of the 3- (and sometimes 4-) star ones, since they tend to be better about laying out a book's pros and cons.
I've only read single entries so far (apart from Southern Reach, where I'm stalled mid-book 3), so I'm not sure I have a favorite yet. I guess Jeff VanderMeer wins by default? I loved Annihilation, even if Authority (and so far, Acceptance) kinda sucked all the color out.
That video is awesome, thanks for putting it together!
Is it reasonable to build just one multi-purpose amp, and have it be effective for eidolons/angels/last gasp? Obviously, specialized amps are better, but I won't remember to swap them out. WTB operator loadouts.
Wow, thank you for the detailed reply! 7-1-7 was kind of what I was leaning toward after reading your post, so I think that's what I'll end up building to replace the... whatever monstrosity I have now. Appreciate the arcanes recommendations, too!
I recently finished The Serpent by Claire North, first novella in the Gameshouse trilogy. I really like stories following competitors in weird, unrealistic games as they try to out-mindgame their opponents (and the game itself), so this was right up my alley. Overall, I found it satisfying, and the next one is definitely on my TBR shortlist.
Caveats: unusual narrator style, fantasy elements are peripheral
Try if you like: political maneuvering, historical fiction, shadowy organizations
Currently, I'm 3 chapters into Heavy Time by C.J. Cherryh. First time reading the author, but I've heard good things. Not sure about it so far, though--the first chapter was great and reminded me a bit of The Expanse, but chapters 2 and 3 were super repetitive. Does anyone know if it picks up?
I need help finding a movie about a girl trap in her own drawing. It was a movie that was filmed on HBO or somewhere in 2010s right before or after the movie Paper Town. The movie is about a girl trap in a mostly black and white drawing on her wall and she traveled with a thief of some kind to find a silver mirror to escape....
