It could be a secondary account, but I would guess that it’s the one they currently belong to? @kbin.cafe

I think I would be okay with 8-10 year iterations. 3-4 years is a ridiculous money grab. I haven’t owned an XBOX since the 360 though, so…

Interesting. I’m adding Wool to my read list, but just realized there is a TV show starting for that series too. :)

I felt the same way about the Bobiverse books, they read so easily and so quickly! Same with the Murderbot books, actually. I think Artificial Condition was my favorite so far. ‘Art’ was such a great addition to the story overall.

I just finished the 4th and last available book in the Bobiverse series Heaven’s River. This one is quite a bit different as it focuses more on diverging/drifting personality differences of the replicants. I’d still recommend it though, it feels like a natural progression from where the story began.

I also read through The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu (translated). This one was very different than your typical sci-fi. Very political, conspiratorial, and at times very dry. In the end I very much enjoyed the story, but it felt like 2 disparate plot lines that didn’t really coalesce. It was also the second book I’ve read in the last month that didn’t resolve any of the main story conflict in the first book and requires reading the next book to get closure… Not a fan of that sort of ending.

There would be a lot fewer old people by the end of the month… (ICU Nurse)

Agreed, stepping down is a bit heavy handed. There are a lot of moving parts, it’s okay to take time for your self and let others take up the reigns temporarily if you need to. I’ve seen quite a lot of merges on the core recently - so it’s obvious things are moving in the right direction.

Yeah, I’m still seeing this bug when trying to post a thread or a picture post. “Link” posting seems to work alright though, but I can’t post any other type of content… It’s been this way for about a month. I’m sort of losing interest since I can’t really post threads - I can only comment.

I’m still reading through the 4th and final book in the Bobiverse series Heaven’s River. This one is quite a bit different as it focuses more on the personality of the main character and forces some self-reflection on ‘him’ and his clones. I’m finding it harder to finish than the last few - but still entertaining.

I also finished Exit Strategy by Martha Wells. These books are just really fast and fun. I can’t recommend the Murderbot series enough.

It’s not often you see an actual heart-shaped ass. Love it.

Agreed! Now get out there and contribute to kbin specific magazines and be part of it!

Loops?
What is punishing about exploring? Elden Ring is probably the easiest souls game, you can just mount torrent and leave everything in the dust.

I dunno, but it seems like this ought to be a pretty high priority, as hosting all the images locally is going to get exponentially more expensive as more people come to kbin… Being able to use a web image host is a much easier option.

Raging about “fucking beans” had me giggling! 😆

My dude, be the change you want to see. Start the community, curate what you want to see there, set some ground rules, and people will join you. I guarantee your interests are shared with others.

You spectate a circus, but you participate in a carnival.

A mall is sort of the shitty part of both of those…

I think I’d go watch the circus.

In the same vein, I caught Relay Pro for $0.99, 11 years of daily use out of that one. 🥺

20% of real human interaction is huge!

These are incredible! I would not be able to tell these were AI generated at all unless told before. Where are these being generated from? I know midjourney doesn’t (at least didn’t) allow nsfw input.
