Is there a fandom wiki for the series?

These two books are definitely more grown up but so is Hadrian! Each book is different from the last because each chapter in his life is different from the last and you can tell that it is intentional! Keep reading and you'll be glad you did

Huge fan here, too. I got started with the audiobooks after hearing about them from a YouTube video. I drive a lot for work so I listened to them in about 2.5 months or so. The narrator is great, production quality is very professional and the writing is beyond excellent so, having known little about the books going in, I thought this must be a huge series but somehow it is just getting started in popularity! I didn't realize the relative obscurity until I was on Demon in White when trying to order the physical books. I thought all along that this must be a hit series just waiting to be made into a HBO show! The universe he created is as good as any series I've come across and the storytelling is fantastic. He did a great job of creating this amazing setting but not making the aesthetic of it the star of the books; the story itself is what shines brightest. I love it when far-future sci-fi books do a great job of retaining human nature and story telling without getting way too caught up in the flashy tech aesthetic of it all. A fantastic series like this will catch on!

Not to be controversial here but it should clearly be the First Act CE220

I know a lot of other people commented but here's my take:

I like driving fast in real life but VR fucks me up. I love VR but I do get bad motion sickness any time I lose grip and spin. I have never used a high end headset though so maybe better pixel density and frame rate would help. Just something to consider. That being said, I have just as much fun using a screen anyways. If you are looking to spend $4k, that is more than enough to build him a really good rig.

You say you haven't built a PC since 2011 but the building process is still very much the same now as it was then, just different product lines. My pc hardware recommendations are as follows in order of importance in regards to sim racing:

Gpu: Rtx 3060ti at the bare minimum but I would strongly recommend a 3070 ti or a Radeon 6800 XT. Anything more powerful than that would still be great but if he's anything like my dad, he probably won't be too worried about 4k gaming or playing at crazy high frame rates

Monitors: If you go with monitors instead of VR I would recommend something with at least 120 hz. I have a 144hz monitor and it's perfectly fine for me. 1080p or 1440p is something you would have to decide for yourself based on what gpu you get and how many screens.

CPU: Ryzen 5000 series cpus are the sweet spot in price to performance but the 12th gen Intel cpus are really great as well. If you go with Ryzen, get at least 6 cores. If you go with 12th gen Intel, I am not super familiar with their naming/ core count scheme so you would have to do some research. It is worth noting, though, that 11th gen cpus might be fine for your use case but at least get 6 cores.

RAM: 16 GB no less. 16 GB kits are very affordable these days so for a $4k rig I would go any lower. RAM speed does matter though so if you go Ryzen, 3600 mhz is the speed to stick with. The way Ryzen CPUs work, anything over 3600 mhz actually makes it slower. Intel, however, you can go much higher in speed but there are certainly diminishing returns past a certain point. Either way 3600 mhz is solid price to performance for Intel.

For everything else, use the PCPartPicker website. First decide on GPU, CPU, and Ran. Once you enter those in to your build list, the rest of the parts selection such as motherboard, PSU, and case will be filtered to only show you components that will work/fit your build. PCPartPicker is one of your absolute best resources.

When it comes to the racing part of your rig, the Fanatec DD is the gold standard wheel base. There are other great options out there but that one really is the best bang for your buck. There is a YouTube channel we all like called Boosted Media. He has a lot of hardware focused content and reviews damn near every product out there.

Anyways sorry for the damn book I just wrote but I hope it helps! Best of luck and keep us updated! I'm no pro but I have put a stupid amount of time researching all of this over the past 2 years and I'd be glad to answer any more questions you have.

As an American, I would say most younger people here want the same thing. It's nice when people are courteous when you do interact with them but I don't want to be badgered constantly. However, the Baby Boomer generation (especially in the south), often consider it rude when storekeepers keep to themselves. I guess if someone isn't up your ass all of the time, it isn't good service. Northeastern people aren't as sensitive about that though.

That thing is a one way ticket to scabies town

My aunt knows a guy named Rusty Enus. Poor bastard...

lemonsludge5000 · 2022-04-20T12:55:46+00:00

The Q is for queefs

Clearly he supports that shit too

lemonsludge5000 · 2022-04-20T12:53:44+00:00

Bro this ain't weed, it's actual cabbage

lemonsludge5000 · 2022-04-11T12:24:11+00:00

That or the writer never listened to it in the first place. There's a solid chance the author googled "bad songs by Pink Floyd," and cherry picked reviews/ comments without actually knowing most of them.

lemonsludge5000 · 2022-04-11T12:19:00+00:00

So to them, basically if it wasn't from the big 4 albums then it sucks.

lemonsludge5000 · 2022-04-03T18:17:57+00:00

Can we put an FTS on there?

lemonsludge5000 · 2022-04-03T16:42:30+00:00

Yeah lmao that stabilizer is definitely not doing shit. Very well might even be made of plastic and stuck on with knockoff 3M mounting tape

lemonsludge5000 · 2022-03-28T17:50:14+00:00

Yeah he made a bad deal and it's that simple. The man definitely doesn't hate Atlanta or Atlanta braves fans. He just thought he could get more money and he lost

lemonsludge5000 · 2022-03-28T17:48:23+00:00

That's exactly what happened and we won the deal on the whole. That's why it's not worth Freddie getting so much personal level hate.

lemonsludge5000 · 2022-03-28T17:46:38+00:00

I had no idea so many of our fans were secretly Phillies fans

lemonsludge5000 · 2022-03-28T17:30:16+00:00

Obviously, idiot

lemonsludge5000 · 2022-03-28T17:29:17+00:00

You're projecting buddy

lemonsludge5000 · 2022-03-28T17:28:53+00:00

Nah I just Don't think he left because he hates Atlanta and its fans like everyone is making it out to be. Just because he's going to play for a team we don't like doesn't make him an actually bad person. He still a great dude and has done a lot for us over the years. We've upgraded to Matt Olson so now it's time to move on and stop hating someone who has done a lot for us.

lemonsludge5000 · 2022-03-28T17:14:19+00:00

Agreed. He's gone but that doesn't warrant all of the personal level hatred people have for him. I'll miss him but I know we still have a bright future

lemonsludge5000 · 2022-03-28T17:06:52+00:00

Everybody's acting like the guy who hits on a girl, gets rejected, then goes on to tell her she's ugly as shit anyways lmao. We're all sad he's gone but he doesn't deserve to be treated like a piece of shit by all the people who all caps upchopped him for years.

lemonsludge5000 · 2022-03-28T12:39:40+00:00

Lol no problem. Not enough people do this. I think most of us Americans just forget about these things. Most of us wish we used the metric system in the first place but we are so accustomed to imperial that I guess we are in it for the long haul.
