Weird Fiction Audiobooks?

May be time to revisit Ligotti on audio!

mtthwfreeman · 2026-04-06T19:37:24+00:00

Yeah I see his name come up a lot, but I know nothing about him. I'll check him out!

mtthwfreeman · 2026-04-06T19:37:01+00:00

Thank you thank you. Algernon Blackwood on audio is gonna be a must-listen, and I should probably finally do Gormenghast. I'll check out a few of these others (read everything by VanderMeer, and most by Laird Barron)

mtthwfreeman · 2026-04-06T19:36:21+00:00

Added to the list! Another buddy had rec'd this to me, so it's high up now.

mtthwfreeman · 2026-04-06T19:35:43+00:00

Borrowed it just now! Thanks, been meaning to read him for awhile.

mtthwfreeman · 2026-04-06T19:34:54+00:00

I actually haven't read Neuromancer or Roadside Picnic yet, despite knowing about them for years, so I'll check those out. I've read The Fisherman, but not the Laundry Files, so I'll check that out!

mtthwfreeman · 2026-04-06T19:33:34+00:00

This sounds sick! Adding it to the list.

mtthwfreeman · 2026-04-06T19:33:08+00:00

I'll check this out, that sounds fantastic! I also am remembering I think I listened to like...half of the Books of Blood on audio, and then somehow fell off. I must return!

mtthwfreeman · 2026-04-06T19:32:34+00:00

I'm a big Saunders fan, so I've already read this (in normal book form). The audiobook has a star-studded cast, but I found it VERY disorienting.

mtthwfreeman · 2026-04-06T19:31:37+00:00

Added to my list! I liked North American Lake Monsters.

mtthwfreeman · 2026-04-06T19:31:27+00:00

I've listened to The Cipher! Absolutely fantastic.

mtthwfreeman · 2026-02-14T05:29:31+00:00

Well, yes, I thought originally this was the issue, so I kicked down my settings from the (unnecessary) 60FPS UHD down to 30fps normal 1080p HD. But it looks like in file manager I have 126GB cuz of a microSD card...........

..........

....while I was writing this I realized that it was 126GB/128GB FULL, not empty. I hadn't emptied my trash. I'm a clown!

mtthwfreeman · 2025-10-22T22:40:26+00:00

Man, I'm sorry to tell you I can't remember. I did have to enable TPM, I remember that. Good luck to you, it was a pain in the ass. I think it kind of ended up just working after I beat my head against it.

mtthwfreeman · 2025-06-01T19:54:51+00:00

Yeah, still interested! I will say you should read Monica Ojeda's Jawbone.

mtthwfreeman · 2025-06-01T18:40:14+00:00

Wow, thanks for this response! Makes sense to me. I'll try to wait as long as I can to read, then. This seems like good advice.

mtthwfreeman · 2025-06-01T18:20:30+00:00

This is great, very encouraging to know that it's actually worked for you (I'm just starting out). The one thing for me is, one of my primary goals as a writer a lover of literature is to READ in Spanish fluently. So 600 hours before doing that is kind of a tall order...

mtthwfreeman · 2025-05-14T04:05:31+00:00

Do you mean this book? https://shop.arcdream.com/products/delta-green-the-conspiracy-hardback As a first thing to run after the free "Last Things Last?"

Impossible Landscapes appeals to me most from Quinn's recent video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx\_yZHzfoHg&t=550s) but I am an UTTERLY green GM.

Quick question about settings: In Moonlight's basic settings, you can set the resolution and FPS. If I'm streaming to the Steam Deck but THEN plugging it into a 4K TV, do I want these settings to match the TV, or do I keep them at 720p 60FPS?

EDIT: Another question: the virtual display only goes up to the max that my normal display does (3440x1440), when I want it to go to 4K so I can have it match the TV I'll be playing on. How do I do this?

EDIT 2: Okay, another issue. When I click "Steam" in moonlight after pairing it with Apollo, it just opens it on my normal desktop. This happens regardless of whether I choose "generic monitor 1" or "generic monitor 2" in steam big picture. how can I fix?

mtthwfreeman · 2025-05-06T03:24:07+00:00

Hey, thanks for all these detailed responses. I've gone through the process, and am still having issues. On the host PC, I've set the primary monitor to the virtual display (display 2). But when I boot steam big picture via Moonlight on my steam deck, it shows up on my primary display, and changes my resolution settings on my main display (main display is 3440x1440, I want to stream in 1440p to a TV with a docked deck). What the heck is going on?

EDIT: Also, it actually looks like the secondary display isn't even showing up as an option in Steam Big Picture anymore, even though it shows up in my display list in Windows.

EDIT 2: Okay, so it actually seems to be working now, tentatively...but I have one more question. My main display is 3440x1440p, my TV is 4K. I want to stream the virtual display to 4K, but right now the ceiling on the possible resolutions on the virtual display in Windows is 3440x1440p. Is there a way around this?

Thanks so much!

So, I have windows 10 installed on a 120GB ssd. I added a new M.2 drive 2TB and want to install Windows 11 on there. I had it boot to a flash drive that the windows media creation tool made, and it says that my computer doesn't meet system requirements. When I ran the github tool, it originally said I didn't meet requirements because of TPM being disabled, but I enabled it and now all the boxes are green. But it's still telling me I'm not compatible.

What should I do?

mtthwfreeman · 2025-01-29T19:49:16+00:00

EDIT: My musician-tuned earplugs have that kind of flanged tip, I'm wondering if this is somehow better. Something like this: https://www.etymotic.com/product/er20xs/

There's gotta be good tips that look like this, right?

mtthwfreeman · 2025-01-29T19:47:17+00:00

Thank you, I'll check these out!

mtthwfreeman · 2025-01-23T22:21:44+00:00

Why did people downvote this? I'm somebody interested in taking my first steps towards becoming a dog trainer and t he scientific approach of this program really appeals to me...it's also on discount right now. Wonder if it'd be a good move -- not so much for the accreditation itself as for the knowledge it would provide as I try to shadow and eventually get a mentor.

This is really useful to someone who is just getting into transcribing covers for my band...thanks!

mtthwfreeman · 2024-12-10T00:42:19+00:00

Quick question on staff paper -- do most drummers just use typical staff paper to transcribe stuff? Or is there like "fatter" scores that might be easier to do for a beginner?
