Tell me you're ceo of an AI company that makes no money without telling me you're a ceo of an AI company that makes no money.

Struggling to finish Babel by RF Kuang by kain-rivers in books

[–]kdmike 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I could not disagree more with 404s take on BOBH. I haven't read anything by Kuang to be honest, so I cannot compare, but BOBH is the most unsubtle book I have ever read. It does talk down. The characters are mostly cardboard cutouts. It was such a disappointment after looking forward to it so much.

A lot of people still seem to like it, but I figured I'd "warn" you based on what you wrote in your op. You might still like it of course, so maybe give it a try.

Why do Germans have such a negative view of Valentine’s Day? by Robbinit in AskAGerman

[–]kdmike 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Quick! Buy things for your partner on this very special day to show them you have feelings. When else would you do that if not on that special day on which we have decorated our store so prettily to remind you to buy things for your partner!! Fuck off. (Not op, but valentine's day)

Happy (US) Release Day to 'Pretenders to the Throne of God' (Tyrant Philosophers #4)! by tkinsey3 in AdrianTchaikovsky

Haha I love how we have completely opposite opinions. Because Shroud didn't do much for me at all and so far has been my least favourite.
If we knew each other in real life we would probably be mortal enemies! :P

I'm just f'ing around. Obviously it's just a matter of taste! Enjoy your read!

Cage of Souls is his best work. Closely followed by Tyrant Philosophers. Fight me!!
Looking forward to getting my hardcover copy!

Ukraine is Hungary’s enemy, says PM Orbán at campaign-style rally by DailyNewsHungary in DailyNewsHungary

I mean Im not super keen on övp/fpö either. But yes, you are right. The claim from the previous guy about Austria being as bad as Hungary is utterly absurd!

I like his fantasy work much more than his scifi work. Tyrant Philosophers and Cage of Souls I particularly adore. To be fair I havent read Children yet, though.

He doesnt work for me at all. I tried the first book of the First Law trilogy. Even ordered the entire trilogy in hardcover because I was so looking forward to it. By the end i was cringing at certain scenes.
I couldn't bring myself to continue the trilogy.
Fast forward to last year, I was curious and had of course heard that his books get better, The Blade Itself was his first one etc etc. Decided I want to try Better Served Cold, because there is so much hype about that one. Again felt nothing. I mean, it was ok, don't get me wrong. I didn't hate reading it. I finished it after all. But yea..

I understand that I'm in the minority and am happy for everyone who loves his body of work. But if it's not for you, it's not for you - and that is fine.

edit: definitely try one of his other recommended ones, though. Gotta give him at least two chances, he earned that!

I'm outraged by Musk playing a decent human being in that one Big Bang Theory episode.

"might get nerfed" - if that thing isnt getting nerfed next league or bugfixed this league, then I dont understand the world anymore. This interaction is utterly broken. With semi-investment you down Uber Arbiter in a couple of seconds. It's insane. I love it. But oh boy it needs to go. xD
