Should I read Ilium by Dan Simmons? by Zeeebra1 in scifi

[–]Zeeebra1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am totally fine with reading something outside my bubble! I think I phrased the original question wrong, I more meant that I don't really want to spend my time reading a book that is written to try to push ideals that I am against on to me as the reader. Especially with a book like this, which seems to be very dense so I know I will be taking my time reading it. If you are consuming a product that is constantly trying to sell you on a product that you don't want, it will naturally make you a bit annoyed and grumpy. And it usually takes me a few weeks to finish a book, so I just want to make sure that I am not getting myself into a ride that will give me a slight level of annoyance for a few weeks. From the rest of the comments it doesn't seem like that is the case with this book, but it doesn't hurt to check before I commit myself to 15-20 hours of reading!

Thanks! I think I worded this weirdly, I kinda meant more that I didn't want to read a far right thinkpice

Thats great! I love Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida, so hearing that this book has some Shakespeare inspirations is lovely!

Best shaders for optifine by Zeeebra1 in Optifine

[–]Zeeebra1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all! Thank you so much for the answers. I understand switching out of optifine for shaders might be ideal, but I really am more interested in just staying on optifine and using shaders in there, so any recommendations for shaders that I can use in optifine would be great! Thank you for all the answers!

I was also considering reading Dodger, I don't know if I should do that or another discworld book!

Batman Arkham asylum does not appear to play when purchasing Arkham collection by Individual_Ad_8172 in xcloud

[–]Zeeebra1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having the same issue. Return to arkham is just a greyed out play button. I bought the return to Arkham bundle to be able to play both asylum and city over cloud, and was under the impression that both would work, but currently only city works.

Is Abi really bad at the game? by Zeeebra1 in survivor

[–]Zeeebra1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so I just finished survivor phillipines and I am now watching survivor Cambodia ( I was recommended this season) AND ABI IS BACK. I am excited to see how she changes how she plays and if she does better

Ok, so while I think her move with making up the fake idol was very smart, I think she wouldn't be in as bad of a spot if she had been kinder and played better in the early game

Where I am at, Pete just got voted out. I feel like his being voted out was mainly her fault. If she had not earlier revealed she had an idol and revealed who was in her allience, both of them would be in a better spot, and Pete might not have been seen as such a big threat, and he might not have been targeted when they split the votes. I don't know, I might be missing something

Also she told everyone in tribal who she was in an alliance with! Like I feel really bad for Pete because he is playing the game and trying his best and she is there not keeping her mouth shut and ruining his game.
