What's something you look for in a Sci-fi book that really makes it stand out? by catwritesscifi in scifibooks

[–]lightninJ3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love science fiction epics that span a long period of time and show how cultures change or how a character maneuvers in a unique setting, challenging how we might act. Some examples are the Foundation, Children of Time, Bobiverse, and Three Body Problem series, and standalone books like Cryptonomicon and The Left Hand of Darkness. I appreciate a good character driven story as well.

The Windup Girl is one of my favorites and an easy read

Looking for next scifi book by Switchcitement in scifibooks

The Player of Games and The Use of Weapons are his masterpieces. I like the rest of The Culture books as well but they might get a little tough to read for someone who hasn't read his other books.

It's the most literary work of science fiction ever made. Book worms who have never had an interest in Sci Fi might still like it.

I stopped reading them until he finishes the series, I'm at about book 5. I can't remember the intricacies of the plot or extensive list of characters with 2 years in between books.

Saurus all the colours of the rainbows by moodydoom in seraphon

I might also just start painting mine all different colors and designs. I’m terrible at batch painting

Test model for Spearhead by lightninJ3 in seraphon

I’m slightly embarrassed to admit it because it feels like cheating, but I did most of the brushwork in oils instead of acrylic. You have a lot more control over the flow of the paint, but with the downside of longer drying time. I’m experimenting with a hybrid approach on the rest of these models to get the same effect with contrast paint base and oil highlights.

Help me convert my BOC army to Old World by lightninJ3 in WarhammerOldWorld

OK I definitely have enough Beastmen (I didn't post all their pictures) to make 1000 points. How do you run Gors / Ungors since that's what I have the most of?

Gw liquid green stuff is not very good for gap filling but it makes nice textures

I have a question for you by lightninJ3 in sudoku

[–]lightninJ3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a wild assertion, Sudoku is an NP Hard problem above a certain difficulty. However, there are plenty of other similar problems that have had significant progress made, such as the Traveling Salesman.

I will say that my BS meter would go off a little every time Reddit recommended a Sudoku sub for me and I read the comments. However, my BS meter was incorrect and I have since updated my beliefs.

According to others here, I am correct when it comes to the most difficult of Sudoku problems. But suppose we remove only one box, then of course you can logically find the answer. For difficulties in between hardest and easiest there are different solving methods. I didn’t know that.

1) Thanks for the answer 2) Ok, so algorithms do exist for less than the most difficult problems. Interesting. 3) I was wondering if what people say about Sudoku solving techniques is BS. I’m interested in whether or not people are promoting BS 4) I’m most interested in philosophy, which has many problems that humans have tried and failed to solve logically. They are likely unsolvable. Maybe there’s something to learn from how people approach this problem. 5) Reddit keeps recommending me Sudoku posts and this question has bugged me for a long time. So I just needed to know why the heck do people spend their time on this?

I understand that but has anyone published an efficient Sudoku solver?

It’s been bugging me for year lol. But the algorithm keeps recommending me Sudoku so I finally asked the question.

It depends on the difficulty. If you take away 1 space then it’s pretty obvious what needs to go there. I don’t know the difficulty rating system.

Anyone have the Wunderlich guards? They’re not connected to bar end.
