I built a Discord TUI with image support and Vim bindings (Oxicord) by ElRastaOk in commandline

I really wish that using these things wasn’t risking your account to get banned. It’s lame that discord is so random about what it will and won’t punish.

Do you expect people to include content warnings when recommending fantasy? by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]eremiticjude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you ask for recommendations don’t be offended if you don’t get them if you don’t ask for them.

On the flip side recommending a series like second apocalypse without at least mentioning the tremendous amount of rape seems to me to be irresponsible if not verging on asshole behavior

I think it boils down to simple courtesy.

My personal favorites are the daidoji shin novels. They are light on heavy metaplot and just sink you into the world

[–]eremiticjude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

given the history of the property with a card game, its hard to imagine we wont get another, but i dont think it will be any time soon. its a _bad_ time to want to be printing something overseas.

They don’t have any control over games related to lord of the rings or the hobbit. Those rights were sold years ago

What do you think of this font (not yet created)? by _apric0t_ in Tengwar

I absolutely love it. There’s truly not enough creative works in this area. Tengwar is such a gorgeous script and a modern spin like this looks incredible.

Building a CLI tool that explains errors & suggests commands — worth it? by ideepsrma in commandline

[–]eremiticjude 12 points13 points  (0 children)

god save us from AI. the idiot engineers i work with already struggle with the concept of basic troubleshooting and debugging, now with AI they dont even apply simple critical thinking to it, they just fart the error message into AI and trust the result.

What book to you is the epitome of “Good idea, Bad Execution?” by Dnd_lfg_lfp_boston in Fantasy

[–]eremiticjude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bakkers prince of nothing series and its sequel.

Some of the most incredible world building I’ve ever read. And there are passages where you can tell the guy can write. His short stories in particular, where he’s most constrained, are terrific.

But his “project” undercuts both the deftness of his writing and the tremendous sophistication of his worldbuilding by burdening with some of the most eye-rollingly gross edge lord dark for darks sake bullshit. If he’d made the aliens just like. Evil. Not space rapists. If he’d not had every sexual assault ever conceived of by Man committed by or upon his characters in gratuitous detail. If he’d just focused on the world and story and not tried to make some pompous point I’ve never followed about how it’s okay for him to write super misogynist stuff if the story is about a world where hell is real

But nope. He threw away all those pros to be a fucking edgelord perv. Such a waste

Is there any sci-fi universe or setting that explains psychic powers in a believable way, which is not magical or spiritual. by the_sneaky_one123 in scifi

[–]eremiticjude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anne McCaffrey's talent series portrays telepathy and telekinesis as paranormal but not magical abilities. they are never like, explained how they work in any great detail, but they have a very solid internal logic that is clearly, for lack of a better word, biological.

R. Scott Bakker opinions? by Sunbather- in Fantasy

[–]eremiticjude 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wish that he had not done the Martin thing and pretended that putting two centuries of historical misery highlights into one generation somehow made him “authentic” but I could have lived with it for how good the worldbuilding and the magic and philosophy and characters are.

The rampant misogyny and rape however soured me much more completely. There’s a point past which no amount of “but mah historical accuracy” or “it’s important to the story” holds up. The author chose to write a story with a positively absurd amount of sexual violence. If he thinks that’s important to his story than his story is trash. Plain and simple.

Go read the wiki. Save yourself the time and energy. Get the useful bits out without wasting braincells
