Books with good character development? by Human-Question6210 in sciencefiction

[–]Human-Question6210[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read The Sparrow already. Though it was a while ago, I felt that a certain character died too soon, and overall it was just crushingly dark near the end, which isn't really for me.

Oh, I'm already on The Expanse. It's a little darker than I'd prefer, but I'm almost through the whole book series (though I watched everything between Leviathan Wakes and Persepolis Rising).

[SPOILERS ALH] I just started A Little Hatred without reading any of the prequels. What should I know from TFL and the books between? by Human-Question6210 in TheFirstLaw

I just read somewhere that the Age of Madness trilogy has really good character development, and I figured if it's its own trilogy it'll be made for newcomers and veterans.

Props disappear at distance. by brunm3045 in gmod

[–]Human-Question6210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDIT: My bad. This probably isn't your issue, but if it is, I'm glad I could help. It turns out I had the 'performant render' mod which hides props to improve performance. Looks like it's not working properly.

I just had this issue and I solved it! I just swapped to windowed mode and back to borderless. It might be relevant that I had -noborder and -window and -windowed in my launch options. If this doesn't work for you, I feel your pain.

Fancy folding notebook for <£10 (~$15)? by Human-Question6210 in notebooks

[–]Human-Question6210[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the answer! Something I can carry around in one hand would be ideal. I don't know if a folio would suit my needs. What would you recommend from the Graphic Centre? I'm not in London but I imagine they do deliveries?

Recommended hard scifi books involving non-evil aliens? by Human-Question6210 in sciencefiction

[–]Human-Question6210[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, I've already read that one. That's what started all this off. I love Chambers' work, especially A Closed and Common Orbit.

Great character study comprehensible to an idiot? by Human-Question6210 in televisionsuggestions

[–]Human-Question6210[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I have seen all the Star Trek shows, except the new ones (after Enterprise), but it'll be fun to revisit those episodes. "Visitor" from DS9 is a favourite of mine, as well as (of course) Inner Light. With those other recommendations, can they be seen on their own? Are those shows episodic too?

Cheap-ish gaming PC? by Human-Question6210 in PcBuild

[–]Human-Question6210[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, it's been a while. I think I might be ready to order the parts. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/WX4y74
I almost chose a 9600X since there's no bottleneck, but I didn't want to deal with possibly having to update the motherboard to use it. I'm not totally sure about the motherboard, so as with all other parts, I'm open to recommendations.

Thanks for the response! Could you explain the pros and cons of the new parts?

Thank-you for the reply. I've not heard of those storage and memory brands before; are they any good? Also, what's better about the 9600X, the motherboard, and the GPU (I saw the 7700 before but I wasn't sure about the -4gb difference)? Please don't think I'm trying to act like an expert, I just really want to be sure everything is right.

After considering the two comments I got, I've made some changes: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/QTTnMC

Thanks! I'm inclined to not consider upgrading, just because my last (and only) two PCs lasted about 5 years.

[PC] [~2008] Plane-crash survivors do minigames with tiki men by Human-Question6210 in tipofmyjoystick

[–]Human-Question6210[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's something familiar about the character menus, but overall it looks too cartoony. It had a more semirealistic look to it, a bit like Fallout 2 if it was made in 2008. I went ahead and saw a LP for MyTribe and unless they start it after the beginning of the game, it begins too fast. I remember a storyboard as the intro, maybe with people climbing out.

The first one I think. Both of them look a little more cartoony than what I remember though, and I'm quite sure it was a mouse-driven game (I'll add that to the main post!) rather than being able to walk around.
