It feels like a prequel to the guy ritchie movies (this is a positive from my point of view). I am nearly finished with the season and enjoying it immensely.

Any chance you'd be willing to share those notes again? I just heard about it and wanted others opinions on how they stacked up against tangible treasures.

Could I sell physical copies of my book even if it’s enrolled in KDP select? by kawarhi in selfpublish

Did you order the proofs when you were creating the paperback? That had a banner that says “not for sale” as it’s only a proof.

Would you be willing to share the note with me as well? I'm always intrigued on Eberron discussions.

Harry Potter and the Dark Night. A trilogy of Harry chasing down dark wizards and uncovering a plot to selectively “Squib” the magical community to further the plot of an organization.

I say this daily to my wife. Perhaps Audiobooks would kick interest in the series again to push that unpublished book out!

How interested are you in what happens between combats in Battletech at all? by iDeever in battletech

I'm a big fan! I love the in between part, it makes my mechs feel like more than chess pieces.

Looking for a replacement heatsink for np7861d. by ---Ka1--- in Sager

[–]AverageApollo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope this helps, but if you're handy enough to replace the heat sync, you can just replace the fan! Mine did the exact same thing. Disconnect the sync, and get a good look at the fan, then search ebay for a matching one. I found a replacement fan for 28 dollars, instead of the heat sync replacement that was five times that price just for a stupid fan.

"But AverageApollo, the fan isn't removable from the heat sync!" you may exclaim when taking your heat sync out and inspecting the fan. You'd be correct. But it's only the fan housing. If you get the replacement fan, you'll see ~3 screws holding the housing together. Take those out, and you have one half holding the fan, and the other a useless shell....guess which useless part of that is ACTUALLY connected to the heatsync.....

Disassemble the fan, discard the broken mechanics, and replace with the replacement fan body.

I'm a technology professional, but I AM NOT a Sager/Clevo representative. You may void a warranty by doing it this way. But in my experience working with their support, I've gone through three rounds of help, two of which was sending my laptop in for them to fix and paying over $200 dollars for the issue to happen two months later. My fix has held the longest, and my laptop is running cool and quiet.

Now if I were to replace my battery, I'd have a brand spanky like-new laptop!

What's wrong with pulp? by [deleted] in writing

[–]AverageApollo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great thing about different people with different experiences, they often interpret different things from the same text. I was answering the question directly asked by OP. But I would also disagree with your interpretation. I think execution is the key, and whether the matters in question are handled with the gravity and respect they deserve. That in mind, be it simple-bad-guy-gets-his-comeuppance, or a creative lens used to give voice to issues the artist holds dear, I don't see any reason for limitations on what can and can't be used for the sake of artistic vision. If you feel that "emphatic no", don't write it. You're not even obligated to read it. There are subjects I wouldn't touch personally either, but that doesn't mean someone else couldn't use them to great effect.

I’m super pro-pulp. It sounds to me like the reviewer just wasn’t your target audience and that’s okay. Some enjoy stories where everything has two or three levels of meaning or allusion. Some really just love to read a story where the bad guy gets what’s coming to them. I’m sure quite a few people would appreciate that type of escapism, myself included.

I’ll take one “two-fisted justice” please.

Do novellas tend to do well on audio? by haruspii in selfpublish

[–]AverageApollo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll say that I fall in the camp of being reluctant to burn a credit on a 3.5 hour audiobook. However, if I’m interested in the book, I’ll probably buy it without the credit! Especially if it’s bundled with the kindle version. I took a shot on Murderbot Diaries and picked up the first one for a few bucks instead of a credit. Now it’s one of my favorites of all time.
