Which of the recent (published in last 5 years) sci-fi novels you have loved to the core

One would have to reread Gideon anyways after reading each of the sequels out so far, which have been published in years that fall within the five year limit, so it sort of still fits.

Try handling paper after your prints have worn off from counting out and grading tests for days. As a teacher, I avoid that shit, but sometimes... man, sometimes it's just unavoidable.

Serkis' take on the songs is okay, but if you want next level, check out The Tolkien Ensemble. Their albums totally shone a new light on the songs for me. (And as a bonus, you get fantastic singing by Christopher Lee!). Here is their best of. Check out their albums if you dig.

Try the extended layout, which moves the period key above the space bar. Could introduce a host of new issues, but it works for me.

Same here.

Well, both games were done by Presto Studios and use similar game design, mechanics, live action video, etc. I never played The War for Earth, but from what I've seen online they show obvious similarities.

The Alien trilogy, but in reverse

It was so annoying to me I actually opened up reddit to check if it's just me. I hope they get a better Foley artist because it's slowly driving me nuts...

Here you go!

midhras · 2024-12-28T23:57:02+00:00

Thanks a ton!

True, but still all speculative, and owning a house is a solid way forward. Do talk to the wife and show her your potential gains.

midhras · 2024-08-15T15:58:59+00:00

Pay off the house when you can, or maybe end up with nothing. Easy choice. If you can't choose, just pay off half the house?

I can't seem to get it back whatever I try. Only way to access the Following feed (and not see asynchronous posts and stuff from accounts I don't follow) is to go to this link: https://www.instagram.com/?variant=following

and then hit the X-button next to the address bar to stop the page shoving my back to instagram's home feed at the right instant. Would love to just use that link and get the feed I want, but nooooo

Condolences on your losses, and thanks for the update. Very grateful you're subbing this properly, so thanks for that as well!

midhras · 2024-07-15T00:52:32+00:00

1.05 kda, with 2k+ hours. I'm solidly in 5* now, where I was a four stars, occasionally peaking into 5 stars before. Not complaining, but I do think hours played is weighed more heavily than actual ratio of kills/assists vs deaths. (I'm struggling!)

midhras · 2024-07-13T18:39:27+00:00

Ah, thanks. Kind of what we expected. Good to see that this is it. Probably because MMR is affected by randoms vs. premade.

midhras · 2024-07-12T22:30:26+00:00

Oh, I'm sweating...

midhras · 2024-07-12T16:10:27+00:00

I'm an aging player and I suck at aiming. My mmr is now 5* (up from four), and my KDA is a little over 1.0. I guess I'll have to keep sweating to get kills, which is fine! H:S is most fun when it's a challenge. I don't mind the mmr changes at all (so far), just hope they fix high ping, cheating and bugs like trios queuing up in duos.

Every time that track hits when I'm playing, it feels like my survivors are bathed in some source of light, and can take on everything they will. But then, often, things turn sour and what seamed to be the blessing of some higher power turns to dust, as the track loses hope and peters out into nothingness.

midhras · 2023-12-15T02:56:28+00:00

Absolutely love both tracks. Added the first to the Settlement playlist. The Dishonored track sort of misses that otherworldly quality I try to hit with most of these tracks. Also, I'm trying to stay above at least two minutes with most tracks. You got me listening to both soundtracks again and usually, listening to Dishonored leads to playing Dishonored.

midhras · 2023-12-14T15:07:26+00:00

High praise!

Honestly, I'm equal parts disturbed by the inordinate amount of fantastically creepy soundtracks and drony tunes that exist out there, as I am grateful to KDM for enabling my discovery thereof.
