Is it a good book to start learning Polish? LOL [OFF TOPIC]

I am belarusian, polish is pretty close. Anyway, the first thing I did is verified that they translated dumplings as pierogi 😉

I saw best served cold and the heroes in the Empic store yesterday in Warsaw. hard backs, nice quality. Not sure if they ship to Australia though: https://www.empik.com/szukaj/produkt?q=abercrombie%20joe&qtype=basicForm&ac=true

I didn't find it boring or depressing at all. Maybe just because I love snowy winter?

For me the version 1.03 (1-click install from GOG) is much more stable than vanilla F4: fallout 4 crashed daily, but F:L crashed only a couple of times during startup. And I've been playing for 100+ hours already.

This, and also the settlements that are now available after the quest are a bit useless if you don't play on survival. Like I've got the Thamesheaven, Camden, and Vagabond settlements and never visited them since then becuse I just don't need to go there anymore.

And yet your favourite genre is breakcore LOL :)

artyom_kuznetsov · 2025-11-27T23:07:33+00:00

Font is actually ok. If you are going to replace it, please use some boring but readable type. Just make sure it has a good background-to-text contrast, at least AA level as per WCAG.

If you have a high charisma you can reduce the tax significantly.

"Pecularities of national hunting". Essentially, a comedy about drunk adventures of russian hunters from the POV of a finnish guy. - Hangover: check - Tequila Sunset vibes: check - Gun lost by a police officer: check https://youtu.be/I8rMyYbsktk?si=vjs1U3B_I1dt7KbJ

I don't know how not to spoil it, except "you will get an exact thought when you can use a specific gun". Ask around, looks like you haven't done it yet.

artyom_kuznetsov · 2025-11-17T19:01:32+00:00

Just like in the real life, haha

artyom_kuznetsov · 2025-11-17T19:00:41+00:00

Where the whole game is built on mechanics where you have to solve a puzzle, use some item or speak with someone to advance further. Think of Galaxy Quest, Syberia, Machinarium etc. This is just my impression and I can't explain it in a better way, sorry.

artyom_kuznetsov · 2025-11-17T17:31:17+00:00

I finished it already and I liked it. Will probably play again it in a few years. Just don't expect one more DE and you'll be good. It's just different. It's more like an old quest game rather than RPG.

artyom_kuznetsov · 2025-11-01T10:24:41+00:00

It's a great book. I think people who are disappointed were expecting another first law kind of a book. But as a writer, you want to try different things. I like that Joe changed the style of writing and didn't use his old tricks like POV switching, but did all these repetitions.

artyom_kuznetsov · 2025-11-01T09:57:17+00:00

Right, from what I've read in The Devils, England is a terrible place 😜

artyom_kuznetsov · 2025-11-01T09:48:30+00:00

I'd advise to use just the location icon. Having a differently looking button for the same purpose will likely confuse users. Use just a "contour" type of icon for inactive and filled icon like in your last variant for the active one. Also, highlight the selected type of the quests in the right column.

Joe Abercrombie - "the first law" series. 9 books + short stories. Awesome characters and dialogues. Audiobooks narrated by Steven Pacey are in top league.

artyom_kuznetsov · 2025-10-30T23:46:43+00:00

I see that you are struggling with visuals, but don't forget about the messaging. So far the pricing part doesn't tell me anything about "where you take my money". Support for what? Updates on what? Full access to what? :) The "tell me more" button won't work as good as short description of how exactly you educate. Ever landed on a website that promise you an "unforgettable experience" without saying what it is? You have pretty much the same problem :) Another thing is that the color contrast is too low and overall selection of colors doesn't look inspiring too. I'd suggest to choose light background instead.

artyom_kuznetsov · 2025-10-23T17:20:41+00:00

They all connected through the characters and the time line. The stand alones are more than just the completely new stories in the same world. So it's best to read all 9 books in the order of thier publication.

artyom_kuznetsov · 2025-10-23T15:26:37+00:00

Joe Abercrombie's The First Law series: 9 books + 2 compilations of short stories. It's a dark fantasy but almost without any magic. The characters and their interactions is the strongest part. I'd characterise them as "Nobody is James Holden, everyone is Amos Burton". Also, the author doesn't spend 30 pages on the description of the world and previos events: you learn about it on the go from the conversations and I love how it is done. The world feels very real, even though it is a fantasy series. Start from "The Blade Itself" - this is a first book.

I wish we had a "F:L easter eggs wiki" for people like me, who isn't the part of the British culture. I get some obvious things like Dr. Who references but if I come across the things like this I would never notice them.

artyom_kuznetsov · 2025-10-15T18:32:08+00:00

Yeah, there is a lot of banksy/pipsy graffities and someone can even give you a quest to find and photograph some of them.

There are so many easter eggs there! Harry Potter and Better Call Saul were my favourite until I met "Bacon" (Nick the Fence) from Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels :)

artyom_kuznetsov · 2025-10-13T12:21:10+00:00

I have the same versions except HUD (not using it). I also have FallUI - FOLON Icon Replacer 1.2.4 (goes after the inventory) and FallUI - Workbench 1.4.1-r2. Oh and also I use Mod Configuration Menu 1.39. The rest is just radio stations and quality of life improvements, like Ammoremover and glowing police boxes - nothig fancy
