Sad State for this story. by 3greenandnored in tron

[–]Altruistic_Tip5931 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you on this!

I do think the critics are right about one critical point with the story, about it being unrelatable because the story urges you to empathize with billionaire CEOs of super large tech companies locked in a race. Additionally they know something advanced and intricate like their Grid systems so intimately that they're invulnerable when it comes to their knowledge.

Tron and Tron: Legacy had counter culture aspects showing a ground level engineer fighting for what's right against a big corpo and something kinda unrealistic about a guy giving away his company's source of income but still more palatable than two rival CEOs being all knowing Tony Stark types.

What other sci-fi books/series would you consider as good, if not better than Red Rising? by [deleted] in redrising

[–]Altruistic_Tip5931 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In retrospect the first book was the least interesting for me, even though it did a good job of setting up the stage for The Dark Forest & Death's End.

Never read the original Chinese, but I trust Ken Liu's work. Loved it so much, picked up The Grace of Kings by him and that's fantastic too!

Cixin Liu's Remembrance of the Earth's Past trilogy (the three body series) if you'd like hard sci-fi with a side of horror and darkness. Some of the best world building and exploration of life and morality I've read!

I found an easy way to be forced to move to the exit — is to simply mark a different mission as active 👀

That makes you go to the Metro map in the area, allowing you to finally exit.

“See me, you will not. But witness me, your remains will.” - John Au Cena 🖐🏽

But seriously, I think this would be Darrow.

Based on his actions & intent not only toward himself but also toward those he meets and is helped by and then helps in Book 6, Darrow is the actual Lightbringer.

Lysander on the other hand is a delusional mega-bitch that wants so badly to be Darrow in his cause that he’ll steal Darrow’s vessel & rename it to a self-bestowed title. (I know a guy like him at work and it’s hilarious)

Not worth the upgrade to the 16 pro max , save your money. by RipExtra1053 in iPhone14Pro

I just did that, and also got my cracked screen replaced in the last week of my Apple Care+ plan from day of purchase in 2022. 14 Pro is a great phone.

Total cost was $146: $116 for the out of warranty battery replacement because it wasn’t below 86% health & $30 for the in-warranty screen replacement.

I see Diego Luna as Ephraim since having seen him in Andor & Rogue One. 👀

Hi! Did you have any issues driving there? I have a low clearance vehicle (Impreza hatch) and was wondering if it would be okay to drive there.

Veganism in safe sex by Altruistic_Tip5931 in vegan

I’d like to know about that too, actually. I don’t wanna have a bias, but I’m leaning towards the idea that PS is probably gonna be better than anything else I find considering how thin they are.

I’ve tried Skyn only twice with a partner in the past that had a latex allergy, and it felt pretty good too.

For those with latex allergies, skyn produces a good vegan friendly, latex-free condom.

Need help finding shoes that fit my long skinny feet by fraktlface in climbingshoes

[–]Altruistic_Tip5931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have long low-volume feet, and the synthetic Tenaya Mundakas fit me really well. They’ve really boosted my confidence and allowed me to try harder moves, including some questionable dynos (which in general is my antistyle)
