Haha I appreciate the advice and I used to be the same feeling I had to finish things I started but as I have got older I do drop games and books etc if I am really not enjoying them and it has made things a lot more enjoyable.
It is more because I am currently into the Deathlands series of books. It is currently 155 books long and I’m at 89, whilst I do have a break from it here and there to listen to other books I don’t want to start another series of books just now :D
Wheel of Time is on my to do list, I’ve heard a lot about it both being great and hard to get into to begin with and so I keep putting it off. I will get around to it at some point.
Enjoy your journey into Sanderson, I’m a little jealous I can’t go on those journeys again for the first time!
Ah thanks for the info. I’ll still give it a try though :)
I’ve got “Alcatraz vs the Evil Librarians” to read next but I’m not sure if that is a cosmere based novel or not. Either way I’m sure it’ll be good though!
I realise you are having health issues from reading your other posts and you should always prioritise that!
I really have so little interest in that short form twitter esque posting that I actively reject it so if I’m being completely honest I doubt I will go there.
Don’t push yourself to post the long form posts, get better and the best of luck with your upcoming appointments. I will look forward to your return to the long form post and hopefully with accompanying info of how well you are doing physically in the future :D
You are not an imposter, you are the fediverses premier gaming journalist and I’ll fight anyone that says different xD
Have a good day!
I have indeed, although not the newest book that was released more recently. I want to go back and read everything again but that is quite a time commitment before doing the new book and I’m not ready for that just yet :D
It is very much on par with Mistborn in terms of the story and writing, I just prefer Mistborn that little bit more because I love the concept of the magic system in that but honestly there isn’t a lot in it.
I’ve always avoided games based “journalism” (and all journalism really) as in my experience it tends to be full of over opinionated bullshit however your posts are different.
I genuinely enjoy your posts, they are well written, clear and succinct. You offer your opinion on things you genuinely enjoy but usually as a side note rather than baking it into the news or subject you are writing about and it is generally clear you are just passionate about the things you are writing about.
Where can I join the PerfectDark fan club?
If you like fantasy and haven’t read any Brandon Sanderson then do yourself a favour and get on it!
My personally favourites are the Mistborn books but it isn’t exactly an easy choice because literally everything he writes is great in my experience.
I just finished Tress of the Emerald Sea which is a shorter standalone book but still great!
“…while more Windows and Linux users came”
That would be pretty intense and fucking awesome but yeh these days I dunno if I could be bothered.

I don’t do it much any more but one of my favourite pass times used to be taking a load of acid and then going to a very public place or somewhere that you are forced to be around lots of people and have many interactions.
Busy shopping centres, a zoo, busy pubs, an ex girlfriends family wedding where I knew no one. I guess it was kind of masochistic in a way but I just really enjoyed putting myself into challenging situations whilst tripping. The challenge was always to try take the highest dose possible and still be able to actually keep my shit together. I’m sure plenty of people I interacted with at those times thought “this guy is blasted out of his mind, Jesus” but who gives a fuck, I’m never seeing these people again and it actually made me want to speak to people in the first place.
These days I prefer to just lay down, listen to music and drift off into the stratosphere.
I love Japan in general, have been a couple of times, but last time I went we stayed on the shore of lake Yamanaka one of the Fuji five lakes.
We rolled up in the evening and there was a heavy fog, you can only see 5m in front of you sort of heavy. Found where we were staying which was right on the shore but you could barely even see the lake still. It was a traditional futon on the floor type place, first impressions were alright.
The next day we woke up to a beautifully clear day, look out the window to a view of the lake with Fuji rising up behind it, it was fucking amazing! I can’t recommend the lakes enough after this experience!
The rabbit island down near Hiroshima is awesome too :D
Touché xD
I have just got books 128 - 155 so that I don’t have to stop so soon and there is also another series called “Outlanders” which is by James Axler too, set in the exact same world but following different people I believe. Either way I got 1 - 55 of that just in case I didn’t have enough Deathlands related material :D
I haven’t replied to your current thread because Deathlands is all I’ve been listening to recently so didn’t just want to keep writing the same things but I am still loving it. I just don’t want to pick anything else up at the moment. I’m currently on book 88 and it still has me coming back for more :D
Fair. Bonus for you :D
But isn’t your pay pro-rata? In the UK (unless it has changed, which I doubt) then they get a pro-rata wage, so yes they still get paid in those months even though they aren’t working but the money they are getting paid in those months is taken from the pay cheques across the other months to make it all balance out.
So really they aren’t getting paid for those months as they don’t work them.
The discord community is where I was getting all my information from. I’m sure it has moved on a bit now as this was a few years ago and whilst I do still have the phone I’ll probably wait to get the new one and then I’ll play around.
Ive been running graphene the last 3 years now and I don’t want to go back to google so once I get the titan 2 I’m going to try my best to get some form of Linux going on it. I fucking hate this touchscreen though so I can’t wait!
I know there were a few custom ROMs that took advantage of some of the blackberry apps n such for the original Titan series of phones but j could never get the boot loader to unlock on my original titan so I was always stuck with what they supplied which was fairly lacklustre and was what ultimately pushed me away from the phone.
I will definitely start Wheel of Time one of these days but yeh, I’m pretty committed to this right now. I will definitely be finishing it too, don’t you worry, even this many books in I’m still loving it and looking forward to each following book :D
