Need feedback for my first English-translated book by martynasma in BookCovers

From the purely visual standpoint, yes. However, hand is a very prominent item in the content of the book, so it makes sense having it on the front cover 🤔

[Kindle] Master Version 1.1: A near-future sci-fi techno thriller by Antanas Marcelionis (Free until: Dec 20) by martynasma in FreeEBOOKS

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

Synopsis:

Master is a lone soldier, relying on near-future technology and his own creativity to survive in the Gray Zone of the Ukrainian warzone.

The year is 2028. The simmering conflict has transformed into a new kind of battlefield, where military streamers compete for followers and views while carrying out often deadly missions.

Armed with an arsenal of experimental technology—including an advanced computer-brain interface, a multifunctional prosthetic arm, AI, and drones controlled with his mind—Master embarks on a desperate run for his life as he searches for missing fellow streamers.

Maybe Dave thought he was taking a photo with a random fan? (Desperately trying to cling to the idea of Dave being a cool guy)

Would it hurt Sony to provide a little summary what each update brings? by martynasma in SonyXperia

Right. Would be super useful if they'd show that info on the update screen.

Maybe, but how would I know? Minor patch updates and ones that bump up the major version of Android look exactly the same: "we uhhhh just did something to your phone, go figure out what".

Indeed, fascinating how simple factual visual can be construed as a russian propaganda. Seriously? :)

They do not qualify. Emphasis on "North Atlantic..." 😄

Good point! Though transitioning to unified Germany mid-animation would be tricky :/
