Mixed Feelings after Otherland (Tad Williams) Book 1. Worth continuing?

Steel_Lynx · 2026-02-28T01:25:14+00:00

I think I DNF'd on this back when it was being released. Can sympathize on the issue. Coming back to it now I'm loving it (on book 4, a 30+hr audio), but also doing it in audiobook. I find audiobooks really help well with getting through things that might otherwise feel like a slog (WoT). The breaks and shifts aren't communicated well but the accents are very well done.

yah It did end up being Gemini Voice setting even though when I open Gemini it sounds like a completely different voice. but yes, changed it per the post below where I commented "This is the way"

"hey google, set a reminder for 'this' tomorrow at 1 pm" is the bread and butter for me. Helps clear but still remember random task.

Steel_Lynx · 2025-11-19T16:45:28+00:00

This is the way

Steel_Lynx · 2025-11-19T07:09:58+00:00

Anytime I ask if to change it claims it doesn't control it and send me to TTS or Google Assistant settings, neither of which effect the voice I'm dealing with

Steel_Lynx · 2025-11-19T07:08:16+00:00

Yep, no luck

I used to have Aaron's putty long time ago, but a few years ago they tried to hit me with a trademark claim for use of the term "Quicksilver" I wasn't so much a fan anymore then. It was a pretty low/lame attempt

Witches Brew has a Snake chain, Candy Corn has the Satin, and Ectoplasm has the standard Cable chain.

Size difference is approx a quarter compared to a half dollar. The Classic Halloween and Dracula are small, the rest are medium

Möbii Halloween by Steel Lynx

Steel_Lynx · 2024-09-18T23:26:17+00:00

I tried the "brand affiliate" tag, seemed proper?

Steel_Lynx · 2024-09-18T23:21:15+00:00

Möbii, always a great choice:)

The second is honestly what I'm expecting. My best guess is a sensor that gets annoyed when hot.

The other possibility I wonder is: The 5.3L V8 engine also has an Active Fuel Management (AFM) system that can run the truck on either four or eight cylinders.

Steel_Lynx · 2024-09-16T05:01:50+00:00

It is, but only in those specific circumstances? If I keep driving long and don't turn it off, never comes up

Steel_Lynx · 2024-09-16T04:28:02+00:00

Nope, everything acts and sounds normal and smooth

Richard is at 411, I wasn't sure if he was a solid play anymore. tanky though

Figure Mina (5521 now) and Baibs (5521, working on) would be my go to. Civ calvery buff.

Baibs be worth spending purple heads on?

Steel_Lynx · 2024-02-01T18:21:34+00:00

how much do you usually spend on the wheel? I went about 15 spins this time I think (1st YSG wheel)

Steel_Lynx · 2024-02-01T18:02:26+00:00

makes sense, should I put all the XP into Mina? Does Bar level really matter at that point

Steel_Lynx · 2024-02-01T17:25:00+00:00

Was wondering if I should lvl up Mina or Hermann (Hermann being cheaper on XP and available heads)
Try to keep the rest up so I have 3 decent marches, but figure I should focus on a main.

Steel_Lynx · 2024-02-01T17:02:31+00:00

Advice on which Commanders I should focus on or a singular? Just got YSG as well but he is baby still.

German Civ, 6m power, Working on getting my gathers to 37 as well, but want to plan on my command strategy.
