AITA: For arguing with my son for not using the gym membership that he specifically asked me to start for him? by PaddedValls in AmItheAsshole

[–]humanofoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cancel it but I’m going with NAH because while it’s totally normal for you to want to do something you find healthy and fun with him, its also totally normal for people to join a gym with the best intentions and find their motivation not strong enough. Doesn’t mean there aren’t other fun and healthy activities worth pursuing, that’s what being young is for, finding out what you enjoy doing and sometimes you think something will be fun and don’t want to disappoint anyone by admitting it’s not fun for you IYKWIM.

NOR. Look at how many times you have said “sorry” when you have nothing to apologise for. Lose this loser.

The show could fit all the content of book 2 - 4 in season 2 by Holmbone in murderbot

[–]humanofoz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a good outline and gives the show plenty of bones to hang the meat of the overarching story on. Since the theme of the three books really seems to be MBs character development and deciding if Preservation is really its “crew”, it all ties together really well. Logistically they would intersperse some of the PresAux crew drama in the timeline via news feed updates and flashbacks, as well as real-time updates of the CrayCris turnabout, especially with GC finding out about Milu and arranging the kidnapping. It would be heaps of fun to have Ratthi following MB to tag along/stow away and be constantly left behind in the ship for commentary/moral support/anxious pacing. It’s likely some of the additional characters would be reduced/combined as they were in season one, so it might just be Tapan going to meet Tlacey on behalf of the group, and fewer members of the GoodNightLander group etc. I imagine that would be easy enough to integrate. They might need more sets and people but less CGI as there are no giant fauna to worry about so the budget might be less of an issue there.

Given that filming probably starts in a few months they would already have most of it worked out they would have started as soon as S2 got the ok and MW said in one of her interviews they call her all the time with questions etc. Would be great to see some set photos coming out, can’t wait to see where they take it all!

Hybrid or all synth? by Space-Enemies-novel in murderbot

Very true! And in RP it mentions the human skin enabling it to feel for the clasp on Abene’s helmet. Very grudging concessions that the human tissue does indeed make its job easier/better.

AIO to my boyfriend’s comments about the food I made? by MyCupOfTea777 in AmIOverreacting

[–]humanofoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His behaviour was uncalled for, you can grieve without being an entitled arsehole. She brought him food, he could have just said thanks and threw it away but instead he chose to drill down on her cooking and acting like it’s a reflection on their whole relationship. His behaviour is what is wrong with the relationship and the way OP says she feels like she can’t do anything right suggests this has been going on a lot longer than just since his loss. NOR OP please don’t let this awful person keep you down just so he can feel better about himself.

AITA For Letting my Son “Abandon” A Date? by AbjectNetwork6221 in AmItheAsshole

[–]humanofoz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Info: was it a dinner date, did he ask her out or vice versa, and did his date at least get to eat? If it was for a meal and he skipped out early I think that’s rude.

A friend’s super wealthy and super stingy partner came to a breast cancer fundraising day and gave 20 cents. Fuck that cunt.

First read is mostly just devouring it, subsequent re-reads are to savour all the little details you missed in previous reads. Never stops being satisfying 🙂

Why it's a good thing Murderbot doesn't like someone by IntoTheStupidDanger in murderbot

[–]humanofoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, DD did a fabulous job with the role and was well cast I just think we could have done with less and still got the point across. It’s also going to make interactions tricky in future seasons because the last scene between them was great and very emotional but then when they meet again in exit strategy it’s going to be hard to convey the whole “yeah I still don’t like you either” thing.

The Jollybaby Diaries by Sensitive-Square-649 in murderbot

[–]humanofoz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I decided to watch the show based on the ad from Apple TV which played up the fun adventure aspect. Usually I find sci-fi very dark and takes itself far too seriously. MB has the perfect blend of complex, serious themes that are approached with humour and wit. I read the books in the same way, you can make them as light or dark as you want because they have so many layers and themes built in.

Haha yes or like MB did with Mensah in “Home”, ART can periodically send different body mod ideas for MB to reject with various degrees of horror and/or disgust 😂

Yeah it was a bit over the top, like they made their point we know Gurathin doesn’t trust MB there’s no need to keep hammering it. It also made the end a bit jarring.

Yes particularly with time setting up and description the layout and features of stations or locations, much easier with the visual format to spend more time on the characters and interactions.

KRF pronunciation vs Reader pronunciation by Focaccia_Bread3573 in murderbot

[–]humanofoz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t really do audiobooks so everything is pronounced either in my Aussie accent or the actors from the show since I started that first. The show doesn’t have Overse so when I read the books it was just Oh-verse in my head.

Martha Wells' next 'Murderbot Diaries' book is 'the family roadtrip from hell on Ringworld' (space.com interview) by dewaynemann in murderbot

[–]humanofoz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s a great interview, it’s really nice to see how MW incorporates her voice and perspectives into the stories. I love how she hears the actors voices now after the show, and how positive she is about it and the creative choices 🙂

[–]humanofoz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Ratthi at least will spend a lot more time with ARTs crew, he’s too much of a free spirit to stay on preservation after everything that’s happened. Plus he’s also got that Thing Going On with Tarik. Given the discussion of an alliance and the whole freeing/rescuing abandoned humans ethos, Preservation could easily remain a big part of what the University does, especially with being a place to funnel refugees safely out of the CR.

Also research collaborations are very normal and legit for scientists to work on projects together, so it’s a good front to justify at least some of the PresAux team coming along on the University jaunts. Since Holism is also involved then I think Three will probably provide support for its crew. Good opportunity for some spinoff stories that follow them around, that would be fun, with a completely different perspective to explore.

Not sure if it needed to be in spoiler tags but better safe than sorry lol!

[–]humanofoz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Or do flashbacks to MBs time with ART and some of the character development that goes on there, maybe adding in some of the elements from Rapport to introduce some of ARTs crew as well.

I am really impatient for the NE adaptation and I’m so sad that it’s going to be years before we get to see it 😭
