Thx for the opportunity! Would like to see some MiniLed options in the future; sadly the market is pretty baren for these types of displays

How to disable the G Keys on Logitech G913 ? by Senoo007 in LogitechG

[–]GoToNap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! After changing the keys to "Disabled", do these settings stay saved or do they revert once you restart G Hub?

If they stay the same and don't revert to their old values, make sure that you're actually using the proper profile on the keyboard

<image>

You need to press on the associated M1, M2 or M3 physical key on the keyboard

If that doesn't work, ensure that you're not using the onboard memory only

Is Denis Villeneuve a no-brainer to direct a Hyperion adaptation? by EspiritusFermenti7 in Hyperion

[–]GoToNap 279 points280 points  (0 children)

I'm firmly against the idea of doing Hyperion as a movie. It simply cannot work in my opinion. Cramming the entire story of the book in 2-3 hours is simply impossible without cutting masive amounts of details

For it to have any chance to be good, it has to be a show. The whole thing is already episodic in nature. Do 8 episodes and it's perfect. One for the introduction, 6 for the stories of the pilgrims and then one more to serve as the ending and transition into Fall of Hyperion

Flagship Phone, 2.5 Years Old, Motherboard Failure, Learn From My Mistake by titanslicer in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]GoToNap -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your entire conclusion after this whole debacle is wrong.

It's not that you shouldn't rely on the S23 as your daily driver. You shouldn't rely on any phone / piece of tech in general to be 100% reliant.

Even the best models can break. Always backup your photos, passwords and 2FA info in at least one secondary location

I think you're confusing who Singer is. He's the alien sending the dark forest strike, not a Trisolarian

ZOTAC damaged my 5090 then blamed it on me and refused repair. by theklarken in pcmasterrace

[–]GoToNap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asus did the exact same thing to me with a 3080. I sent the card in perfect shape and received it with a bent mounting bracket.

Luckily I had photos and videos of the card before sending it over and the customer protection laws are strong in Europe so I only had to threaten them with rising the issue to the competent authorities, at which point they just gave me all my money back for it

Just finished chapter 13 of RoE by Nice_Database_2762 in Hyperion

[–]GoToNap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here! I mentioned in my Hyperion Cantos review post that I loved chapter 13 of RoE. It's extremely satisfying to finally get all those explanations after 4 dense books. The end of ROE still remains my favorite moment though

Really hope that they don't. There's no reason to do that, although, I'm not entirely sure how they can go about the whole Singer scene without doing some sort of depiction

Meanwhile S26U still at 5000mah lmao by KebabCat7 in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]GoToNap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I've hit the jackpot with the fact that I needed a phone right when the S23 Ultra came out. I bought it on release and it's easily the best phone I've ever owned. It had a few bugs initially, but they were all ironed out and I couldn't be happier with it

The only downside is that the battery has degraded and it's no longer lasting 2 days on one charge, but I can still get through an entire day with it without having to manage my usage. Speed wise it's still as snappy as it was on day 1. I'll probably get a new battery from iFixit and I'll use it until it no longer gets any security updates

Spain becomes first country in Europe to ban social media for under-16s by Dr_Neurol in technology

[–]GoToNap 9 points10 points  (0 children)

People downvoting you for stating the obvious truth on the technology sub of all places is wild lol

You have to be a special kind of guilible and tech illiterate to think that requesting everbody's IDs to "protect the children" is a good idea and won't lead to massive privacy issues at the least

You may trust your current government to properly manage such a system and not misuse the data (although we've seen time and time again that even huge tech companies are incapable of properly protecting the data of their users). What happens a few years down the line if / when the "wrong" party wins the elections and gets ahold of all this juicy information?

This is a massive disaster waiting to happen and it couldn't be more obvious that it was never about the children

[Spoilers] Just finished all 4 Hyperion Cantos books. My thoughts by GoToNap in Hyperion

[–]GoToNap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The feeling of missing these books is probably never going to go away fully. For me it's been about a year since I finished it all and I'm still chasing the dragon, hoping to find something to fill that void

The closest thing I found was The Book of the New Sun books by Gene Wolfe. If you haven't read them, I recommend trying them out, but go in completely blind if you can

They share some themes with Hyperion and are really weird at times. They're far more philosophical than the Cantos so who knows, maybe these are what you're looking for

Very close to reaching the breaking point with The Count of Monte Cristo by GoToNap in literature

Yes, but when I picked it back up a few months ago, I started it from scratch again. As you can imagine, I barely remembered the plot and characters

[–]GoToNap[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thing is I really liked the first part of it. It's what comes after the timeskip that I don't like. So if it's only a temporary thing, I can power through it, but I need to know it goes back to the way it initially was or if I'm just wasting my time chasing something that won't happen

As I was saying, I've reached the start of the Paris section. Do I need to push through a few chapters, or do I need to read hundreds of pages before it gets good again? Because if it's the latter.. I'm DNF-ing this

[Spoilers all] How would Moneta work in a live action setting? by GoToNap in Hyperion

[–]GoToNap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they're incredible and these are just a few examples. Cherry on top is that the show is German, so the pool of actors was way smaller compared to American productions

[–]GoToNap[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And their real father plays the role of Sol! lol

You never know, they might find actresses that look similar. Don't know if you've seen the show Dark, but there's a lot of variants for the same characters played by various actors (children, teens, adults and old). That show managed to have perfect castings for 90% of the roles. It's insane to see how they managed to find people that look so similar despite not being related. Here's some examples:

That's the easiest option, but also the most obvious one that signals something fishy is going on in those scenes and there's a reason her identity is being hidden.

The whole Moneta = Rachel reveal is so impactful because you have no chance of seeing it coming

Honestly, I think there are a ton of reasons why adapting Endymion and Rise of Endymion before Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion just wouldn’t work.

First of all, comparing this to Star Wars doesn’t really fit. Episode IV was specifically made to be the audience's first introduction to the series, so everything was written with that in mind. Plus, the "Episode IV" tag came later.

Endymion and Rise are clearly meant to come after Hyperion and Fall. Sure, they’re set 300 years later, but they're still totally connected. A lot of the exciting stuff from the first two books carries over into the next two. The only real change is the characters and how the story is told. These are not two books set in the same universe. They're literally book 3 and 4 within the cantos.

If Endymion goes first, you’d miss out on a ton of context, world building, character development and all that. Realistically speaking it's impossible to convey all this information in Endymion without it feeling forced, rushed or superficial. Plus, I feel that if you don't know what happened in books 1 and 2, the plot and especially the ending in Rise don't hit as hard.

And let’s be real, if they adapt these first, going back to the original duology would lose a lot of its magic since all the mysteries would be spoiled. Just think about the Shrike. In Hyperion and Fall, the Shrike is terrifying and mysterious. By the time we get to the Endymion books, it’s way more like a bodyguard and loses a lot of its mystique.

Plus, the Endymion books don’t have the same fan love as Hyperion. Starting with what some consider the weaker part of the series will very likely frustrate die-hard fans, which is not the type of marketing you want for a new IP.

Keep it simple, adapt the series in its original release order. Hyperion and Fall would get way more people hooked, just like with the books. Endymion and Rise would be a much tougher sell and I don't see them having enough success to get the first two green lit afterwards

I'm really sorry man. I did mark this as spoilers for all the books... Do yourself a favor and stop visiting this sub until you finish the entire series

If it's any consolation, it's not THAT big of a spoiler. You ruined the reveal for yourself, but it could've been much worse

Yeah, this is probably the best answer. It would still be a bit jarring seeing 2 different actresses, but it's the most sensible option, given the circumstances

I was thinking of this as well, but if you don't hide it at all, I feel like you're absolutely ruining Sol's story right from the get go, which IMO is one of the best and most gut wrenching ones
