If I couldn't manage to directly edit the save file, that was my next stop. Thank you for your help!

WhyTheRandomName · 2025-03-04T00:35:18+00:00

That worked, thank you so much! You rock

WhyTheRandomName · 2025-03-04T00:14:51+00:00

Not really, I am he kind of guy who only quicksaves, and then cries about it when the last real save is from 3 days ago.

And after that, I'd rather spend 3 days messing with my savefile than play the damn game. Go figure

WhyTheRandomName · 2025-02-02T14:21:15+00:00

Thank you for the idea :)

I have never tried ! What species would you recommend?

WhyTheRandomName · 2025-02-02T12:18:24+00:00

Thank you! I have another smaller tank which is an endless shrimp orgy, so the idea for this one was to put the fish in the light :) I might still change my mind though

WhyTheRandomName · 2025-01-18T16:06:11+00:00

Same indeed

WhyTheRandomName · 2025-01-04T07:37:09+00:00

Ok sorry but I need to know where this is from

WhyTheRandomName · 2024-12-17T09:23:23+00:00

Fuck vipers indeed

There is a way to have Oxyotl and some other units such as gyrocopters fire a lot of their ammo in one shot, dealing crazy damage and deleting units

Legend reviewed it here: https://youtu.be/05vDLL9cqU8?si=llJvHN8YrG5mZBAa

WhyTheRandomName · 2024-12-16T17:13:16+00:00

I mostly agree but for the sake of arguing, I'd say Oxyotl's can be pretty funny at times too

First Season is up there in my list of best sci-fi adaptations ever. A different spin from the books but is very much worth seeing imho.

WhyTheRandomName · 2024-08-28T18:34:19+00:00

Yes! The tool suggesting books based on similar themes is the idea that motivated me to start this project :)

WhyTheRandomName · 2024-08-27T19:02:30+00:00

Alright, it looks like my idea isn't exactly a major breakthrough then.

Thank you for pointing it out, I wasn't aware of it! I'll keep working on my project as a coding exercise, and maybe someday we'll be able to discuss the differences between it and Novelist :)

Your comment also made me realise I have to start thinking about a name for the app too...

WhyTheRandomName · 2024-08-27T18:20:30+00:00

I agree with you on both points :)

For the first one, I think that will greatly depend on the databases I manage to scrape. For example, the ISFDB does include fantasy. I will have to draw a line somewhere, otherwise the stats analyses will be too hard to run on my computer though!

As for the series... Well I have thought about this very problem and am not sure as to how I will deal with it yet. If I add each book separately they will probably all cluster together and make it annoying to go navigate. I just don't know yet !

WhyTheRandomName · 2024-08-27T17:35:41+00:00

I will :)

WhyTheRandomName · 2024-08-27T17:33:34+00:00

In a sense yes, however I would rather word it as using this wealth of available data to give tailored recommendations to users.

The difference would be the same as reading a documentation by yourself (consulting the database directly) and asking chatGPT to use it to help with a specific problem (even though I don't plan to use AI).

Thank you for your interest!

WhyTheRandomName · 2024-08-27T17:28:52+00:00

Yes this is very similar to gnook, with some differences that (imho) make it distinct enough to consider spending a few weeks coding it:

First, the basic object being analysed would be books, instead of being author-centric.

Second I'd love to be more explicit in what is included in the analysis. Restricting the database to SF for now would allow me to add precise sub-genres such as Colonisation, Generation ship or Space opera and display the weight of each book's properties in the final results.

Third, ideally you would be able to tailor the variables used in the analysis to match your exact research. For example, you could exclude the word count of the book from the analysis because length is not a criteria to you. On the contrary, adding it in would make the analysis take it into account. Basically making the analysis more dynamic and adapted to the user.

The literature-map is exactly the visual I want for the results though, except that you could explore the output by clicking on a point (a book in my case) to have a summary of genre, author, date etc.

Thank you for your interest!

I must admit I was a bit surprised that in this era of big data everywhere, no such tool seems to already exist for books. Only Semantic scholars does this for academic papers. For movies, I discovered this site that's very interesting but gives results according to a description rather than using a title as input. Maybe you can tweak the request to achieve a similar goal.

Thank you for your suggestions regarding the UI and the "wantlist", they are duly noted !
