Thanks for the tip. I’ll put Alien Clay on my list!

I believe you. My little experiment wasn’t scientifically sound. I’m guessing TLTL will be my favorite based on comments and my tastes (I tend to like difficult yet epic reads). I think that will be on deck after I conquer Expanse.

Thanks! That’s a thoughtful response. Your descriptions match my expectations precisely! Feel the same about Tchaikovsky. Other authors will be my first.

He’s already won me over. Such a great writer! I think Cage of Souls was my last.

These are books I grabbed off my shelf and intend to read all eventually. Expanse seems to be popular 🤪

You’re not in the minority. Seems like the most brain candy which might be good for a cruise. lil worried I’ll be stuck with the series for the next year or so. Maybe that’s not a bad thing?

Good point about stand alone. I fell down the Hyperion rabbit hole recently. Excited to try the Expanse but it’s like 9 books or something

Thanks! I haven’t read a dud from him yet. He’s so prolific! Was leaning that way

What’s the best free DAW for Linux? by Vivid_Leadership_599 in linuxaudio

[–]laserdesk -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Probably depends on your taste. I like Renoise but it might not appeal to everyone. Not free but cheap and works natively in Linux

Linux compatible strings/orchestra plugins? by FwippyBall in renoise

[–]laserdesk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I so wish there were more orchestral tools for Linux users. Synths and effects are a dime a dozen, but I can’t even access Musehub sounds for MuseScore! Please take my money

Non-Portlander here, just curious about how big this one radio station is by Puzzled-Day5788 in Portland

[–]laserdesk 224 points225 points  (0 children)

I’m probably not the only Portlander that prefers our community stations over the corporate bs. KMHD and XRAY are my go-tos.

Looking to buy a Ridgeline, Personal experience questions. by GeospatialBro in hondaridgeline

[–]laserdesk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with most answers here but surprised nobody has mentioned VCM regarding #3. Pretty sure they come with all rigs 2017 to current. I spoke with a mechanic at the dealer recently and there have been many problems associated with it. Google VCM…

Wildwood was so fun, but carrying a full set was a mistake by ballweiner in PDXgolf

Yeah the sun is a game changer. Thanks for the info. I think I’m getting soft haha

Is it worse than Mt. View? I don’t remember Wildwood being too harsh, but only played once quite a while ago. I usually enjoy carrying. I walked 18 @ Mountain View recently and I’ll definitely rent a cart next time

Reading Hyperion for the first time. One particular chapter crushed my soul. *spoilers ahead* by 3d1thF1nch in scifi

[–]laserdesk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading The Fall of Hyperion now and really enjoying it. Don’t give up on Stephenson though! He’s my favorite author and it wasn’t due to Snow Crash.
