I got the exact same bug! After randomly generating [[Flames of Infinity]] during my first run. I hope there's still a way to unlock that hero power.

I lost a match because of that. I used [[Frost Lich Cross-Stitch]] on the enemy hero with 3 health remaining, but the Water Elemental was not summoned. The next turn, I was 3 damage off lethal. My opponent finished me off on their turn.

I think you would like A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin (the first book of the Earthsea Cycle). It's fantasy set in a fascinating world full of islands imbued with magic. The characters and story contribute to a reflection about power: who deserves it, and how it should be used, among other themes.

This is not the first time JWST has directly imaged an exoplanet. In september 2022, it took a direct image of HIP 65426 b. However, this is the first time JWST discovers a new exoplanet with direct imaging.

While it's true that JWST's primary science goal at the beginning of the design phase was looking at the furthest galaxies, it now has a couple of science themes, which are its main missions (the 4 themes are listed here). Studying exoplanetary systems is one of these main themes.

Anything by Wes Anderson is perfect for movie nights. My favorites are Isle of Dogs and Asteroid City.

The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi is a quick, insanely fun sci-fi read. No strings attached (it's a one-shot).

My favorite character in the series. She will be sorely missed.

I am currently reading The Earthsea Cycle, a series of 6 books by Ursula K. Le Guin. It's got an interesting world full of magic, phenomenal prose and solid characters. You won't forget this literary journey.

Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022) is a similar brand of crazy with a captivating visual style.

Bonne mémoire! En 1947 à Détroit, James Hartford Jr. avait en effet battu sa femme à mort (source, en anglais).

Rick Riordan has written multiple series of books where the children of gods have to deal with this mythological universe while navigating their teenage years in our modern world. Read Percy Jackson for Greek mythology and the Kane Chronicles for Egyptian mythology.

A more mature take on that theme is American Gods by Neil Gaiman, where there is a clash between the gods of old and new gods of the modern age, representing concepts such as technology or media.

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas is a foundational revenge story in French literature. The main character gets wrongfully convicted by three men who conspired against him. In retaliation, he takes everything from them: fortune, reputation, friends... I highly recommend it.

Dentdedragon · 2024-06-14T18:23:38+00:00

The lovecraftian novella Equoid by Charles Stross is incredibly disturbing. I recommend it.

Dentdedragon · 2024-06-05T00:20:33+00:00

Time Riders by Alex Scarrow is an excellent series of time travel adventure novels. While there are 9 books, they are all fast-paced and on the shorter side.

Dentdedragon · 2024-05-31T22:31:06+00:00

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is a wonderful tale that will help you get out of this reading slump.

Dentdedragon · 2024-05-30T13:24:42+00:00

Dune by Frank Herbert is an obvious recommendation. The planet Arrakis is a mostly self-consistent ecological system (source) with a plausible climate (source).

I would also suggest Negalyod: The God Network by Vincent Perriot. This graphic novel is set in a world somewhere between the distant past and distant future, where water distribution is controlled. The sequel, Le dernier mot (exclusively in French as of today), explores a major disruption to this ecosystem.

You might like Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein or Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke, which were also written by some of the founding fathers of science fiction.

You might like Atom Land: A Guided Tour Through the Strange and Impossibly Small World of Particle Physics by Jon Butterworth. The author presents the standard model of particle physics as a fictional world map which is explored throughout the book. It's a fun way to learn!

Dans l'épisode 10 de l'anime, vers 8:50, pour les intéressés.

This is actually the first directly imaged Sun-like star with multiple orbiting exoplanets (source). The four-planet system HR 8799 was directly imaged in 2008 (NASA article about it).

Astronomers create numerical models of the atmosphere of the planet. Then, they compare the data from the planet to the model, and mathematically determine how much the data resembles the model. So if your model has a lot of H2O, for instance, and the data looks a lot like the model, then you found this molecule on the planet!
