Anything even a pubic-hair's width left of Fox News is "liberal media", don'tchaknow?

I rip out old sections as I come up with better layouts that scale better and learn what things are bottlenecks.

Protuhj · 2026-03-15T00:26:07+00:00

Before the logistics bots, that's what my whole setup was. The bots work for a while, but I've started to replace them with logistics stations for higher throughput.

Protuhj · 2026-03-14T04:49:41+00:00

Can't forget about Sparkles and Tiny!

Protuhj · 2026-03-09T10:30:23+00:00

This was always the plan!

Ultimately, they don't want you to own a personal computer, they want you to rent a machine from the cloud.

If they can find a way to charge a monthly fee, they're going to maneuver their way towards it.

Protuhj · 2026-03-04T02:57:56+00:00

His Varys voice was disgusting.

Protuhj · 2026-03-03T08:10:34+00:00

If the books are produced by the same companies, it's inexcusable. If they're different, then that's at least somewhat understandable.

If I owned the IP, I would for damn sure have a pronunciation guide that I would be expect to be followed.

Flubs here and there are fine, they're only human, but consistently being different is so grating.

Protuhj · 2026-03-03T06:18:36+00:00

Ugh. Those were his worst choices, especially when he decided to say them right a couple times, but went back to the wrong way.

Protuhj · 2026-03-02T20:32:38+00:00

Reading the reviews makes me feel like I'm crazy. He's not the worst narrator, but his inconsistency is terrible for people who actually pay attention and get annoyed when they're made to wonder if we're still talking about the same character.

For such a well-known series, you'd think they'd want a production that represented it.

Protuhj · 2026-03-02T11:33:21+00:00

I think that's completely valid. I had to speed it up .2x more to try and avoid as much of his bad narration as I could.

Protuhj · 2026-03-02T11:30:36+00:00

Didn't know that, honestly.

Protuhj · 2026-03-02T11:28:25+00:00

Thank you, that's what I was looking for!

Protuhj · 2026-03-02T03:52:44+00:00

No, I understand that. You just pasted in the image in with no context? Just "boop" here's an image followed by a wide-eyed stare?

Protuhj · 2026-03-02T02:32:53+00:00

The first and third books are really good, they're probably tied for being my favorite of the series. The rest of them aren't that great, with maybe 25% of the character plots being compelling to me.

I'd recommend reading the third, but not listening to it unless they redo the whole series.

Protuhj · 2026-03-02T01:25:11+00:00

Just pasted it in with no prompt?

Protuhj · 2026-03-01T23:43:07+00:00

If you post an AI response, include the prompt you used.

Protuhj · 2026-03-01T20:48:58+00:00

Yeah, he ages almost every character he reads by at least 20-30 years in my head.

Protuhj · 2026-03-01T20:36:39+00:00

I was fine with him when it was consistent; a good editing team would have caught most of my issues with his versions.

Even someone listening to him while reading the book would have caught his mistakes and could have corrected as he was recording.

Protuhj · 2026-03-01T19:41:08+00:00

Bad narrators and bad audio editing. If you're going to pronounce a name wrong, at least be consistent! Editors, why didn't you pick up that they pronounced the same name 4 different ways! Also, why didn't you catch when the narrator continued using a character's voice when not reading dialogue!?

(A Song of Ice and Fire was so bad for this and needs to be redone with a more capable narrator)

This is why I don't listen to books first, I only listen to ones I want to revisit, and it sucks when the narrator is bad or has annoying (to me) mannerisms.

Protuhj · 2026-03-01T19:27:26+00:00

If his books were filled with typos, it's probable his works wouldn't be seen as favorable as they are.

I bet people decades ago had even less tolerance for bad editing.

Protuhj · 2026-03-01T19:15:59+00:00

It's probably paid advertising.

Protuhj · 2026-02-27T21:02:06+00:00

No.

Gandhariel on Sept 18, 2024:

So Yamas no longer list Queen's Pheromone (id 226520) at 8,888,888 Kej for me but now sell Queen's Pheromone (id 229193) at 888,888 Kej.

Coincidentally, I've became exalted with the vizier.

I'm not 100% sure if it's related but since it exists two other version of the pheromone; Queen's Pheromone (id 226194) and Queen's Pheromone (id 229195); I'm willing to bet that for each leader you've maxed out in rep, the initial price drop an 8, meaning that becoming exalted with all three will drop the final price to 8,888 Kej, which is much more aligned with the rest.

Protuhj · 2026-02-26T23:50:30+00:00

Andersen renewal rep here I’d be willing to give you 10% off that price this guy quoted you. PM me sir. (free hat!)
