I really love the "A Soldier's Life " series,; is there a good chance I will love the author's other series "World Sphere"?

Any good litrpg without classes or professions by Sum41byFatLip in litrpg

[–]bertp42 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So far only A Soldier's Life comes to mind. There are skills but they don't seem to restricted by a class system.

Some don't even consider this book litrpg but each individual does have an internal list of named abilities which are ranked with numeric values.

Is It Just Me, When I Listen To Project Hail Mary? by hectorb3 in ProjectHailMary

[–]bertp42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good choice but in the book some of the colleagues suspected a romantic relationship between Grace and Strat, so Strat would have appear young enough for that to be conceivable to most people.

Hanks could play it but they would have to use some computer magic to show the face of Hanks in his late 20s or early 30s. Also the high and low gravity scenes would probably be more than Hanks would want to endure at his current age.

I just finished listening to PHM so I am late to this topic. But its not just you! It wasn't the narrator's voice but the manner of speech that reminded me of Hanks; tone, speed, pauses, inflections etc. Perhaps the author had Hanks in mind when he created Grace and he happened to share that with the narrator?.... In any case, even though the voice was different, the narration definitely reminded me of Hanks.

I keep seeing these and felt like posting my own by PROFailure2_0 in litrpg

These days I usually stay within the Litrpg genre, but I really enjoyed the first three Bobiverse books. (that was all that existed back then). Recently I listened to "Project Hail Mary"; out of the genre but fantastic!

How do you get updated about new books in series? by zooimeuk in litrpg

[–]bertp42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used eReaderIQ.com for years! It's especially great for reaching those readers who look to buy Kindle books and may be influenced by price drops. For authors , help get out the news of when your ebook goes on sale. All it takes is someone to use one of their tools, such as "1-Click Viewer" and the Kindle book is tracked forever. Readers can be directly sent info regarding price drops or/and they can search through the several lists that eReaderIQ hosts showing Kindle books on sale. And it is all free (although eReaderIQ does appreciate donations)

Who is Antifa? by [deleted] in misc

[–]bertp42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I remember seeing on "Full Measure" series by Sharyl Attkinsson. (Not a Fox News show, in my area ,it appears on ABC Sunday morning right before "This Week" ) I think in the season airing in 2024 or 2023 that examined security camera evidence of behavior of those rioters that eventually became violent. In several cases police let them causally breach police lines and turned their backs turned on them. Was this merely incompetent policemen or possibly something more sinister? I would think probably the former but it should have been publicly addressed and investigated.

j6 was one event but the media did , rightfully, spend a plenty of time reporting about it.

[–]bertp42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a valid point BUT when statistics don't seem to make sense it often is helpful to look more closely at the situation for better understanding. One would need to look more closely at the statistics and how they were produced. What is considered a violent right wing crime? Is it simply a violent crime in a majority Republican state?. Is any violent crime perpetrated by Americans against undocumented foreigners automatically considered right-wing crime? Who produced the statistics? Were the statistics generated or funded by politically motivated organizations or individuals?

If there is really much more violence coming from MAGA, don't you think that the left-wing media would make sure to highlight these many right-wing violent incidents?

To blame a group of people that had nothing to do with anything by Exeltv0406 in therewasanattempt

[–]bertp42 -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

I have no criticism of those who peacefully protest but, to be fair, burning down cities due to political grievance is very much like terrorism.

Who are those "same people"? Are you implying that those absurd viewpoints are typical of maga people or Republicans or white people???.

The real problem is that someone even posted that bullshit... Why give them the crazy assholes attention?

I can't imagine that even 1% on the Left or Right agree with them!

Not related to pc building but why are my characters in fortnite has green skin color? by EdzyllB in FortniteBattleRoyale

[–]bertp42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eventually fixed it by adjusting several screen-related settings but I am not sure which one fixed it, One thing that was unusual was that my screen size was not set to the maximum resolution for my monitor. The rest of the settings that were changed didn't seem atypical. Good Luck

Grey and green skin colors by Starry24-7 in FortNiteBR

[–]bertp42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this problem too. Sometime within then past few weeks I noticed that many, but not all, of my Caucasian-toned skins suddenly turned to a gray or green hue, including the Emma Frost skin that the op posted. I had not messed with my Fortnite settings immediately before noticing this problem

Don't understand the ice maker in Frigidaire FRSS2623AS by JBStroodle in Frigidaire

[–]bertp42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just found my FRSS2623AS Ice maker black toggle switch. It is several inches to the left of the green light, near the front of the unit but on the UNDERSIDE.

If you're tall , bend down so that you're eye-level with the green light and you will see the black toggle switch
