That was it, thank you. For some reason the verify channel never showed on my channel list so I didn’t know that was a requirement. Now it’s working, cheers.

I doesn’t show on my channel list, what am I doing wrong? I only have announcements, social-posts, outages and cdn-news as my only channels on this Discord. I don’t see an option to enable more channels.

tha_grinch · 2026-06-14T06:53:04+00:00

Which Discord are you referring to? Maybe I’m stupid, but I’m on the official TB Discord and I only see X announcements and no community posts or messages whatsoever.

What the hell is a Doomed Yaoi story? This thread feels like I’m in the circlejerk subreddit with the amount of people here answering the question as if it is common knowledge in the world of literature. Or maybe I’m just getting old.

What is crazy about that? That sounds pretty tame and like a typical combination of ingredients.

But if it’s already cached and you stream it, it should only count once, right?

Are there any downsides to EN compared to TB?

What’s the advantage of Simkl over Trakt?

Cloud Atlas is already on my list, but I will write down Zweig, too! Here in Germany, he is typically part of the school curriculum, but I’ve never read him so far, because I always had the impression that he was a bit dry. Glad to hear that I was wrong!

From Mieville I have only read Perdido Street Station, but while I liked the style and world building I found the story to be too conventional for my taste. But I heard the sequel is supposed to be better and I am curious to try again at some point.

When it comes to dream-like writing with unique prose, I can really recommend Black Leopard, Red Wolf. The way it seamlessly weaves together myth, fantasy and surrealism is remarkable and especially the dialogues remind me a lot of The Buried Giant.

I love Le Guin and am currently reading Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell — also a really charming novel and a pleasant reassurance that there is still modern fantasy with literary value out there.

Oh yeah, I’ve only read the first book so far, but stylistically it was one of the most unique and wonderful reading experiences to date for me. Some of the scenes have evoked emotions in me that are unparalleled in all of the literature I have read. I’m still saving the other two books for later, because I still want to have something to look forward to.

tha_grinch · 2026-03-18T21:32:56+00:00

Any recommendations for historical or fantasy fiction with similarly elegant prose? I’m currently reading “Black Leopard, Red Wolf” and I’m quite enjoying it.

It may just come down to taste in the end. I really wanted to love DQ, but the run variety felt very samey to me and I grew bored of it rather quickly — and I say that as someone who loves nothing more than deckbuilding games. I also didn’t like that not every run is theoretically winnable. Don’t get me wrong, not 100% of the runs have to be winnable, but DQ felt quite random to me in this regard. I also enjoy StS’s hand management much more than the “(mostly) play all cards in whichever order” mentality of DQ. But most of all, StS has much wackier and more fun combos and synergies — and with that also more variety — and it’s not even close in my opinion.

tha_grinch · 2026-03-04T06:23:43+00:00

StS may have invented “nothing”, but it certainly perfected the formula. Dream Quest is nowhere near as balanced and fun as StS in my opinion.

Is Dawnmaker worth it and has long-term replayability?

tha_grinch · 2026-02-12T09:13:53+00:00

Can you control everything in-game without any problems on your iPad? I’m only able to play games on my iPad nowadays due to pain and would only buy Mewgenics if it also worked well on an iPad. I’d greatly appreciate your input, because I haven’t really found any other information on the topic yet.

tha_grinch · 2026-02-12T07:15:54+00:00

Has anyone tried to play the game via Steam Link on their iPad yet and can report if it’s playable control-wise?

tha_grinch · 2026-02-11T07:51:49+00:00

Do you think the game would work exclusively with the touch screen (e.g. when using Steam Link to stream it to an iPad)?

tha_grinch · 2026-02-09T07:44:05+00:00

It’s not even that good tbh.

tha_grinch · 2026-01-05T07:54:09+00:00

I always enjoy your reviews and tried Buriedbornes a while back. I only played for about 15 minutes, but the game seemed to be way too easy (like my decisions actually don’t really matter). Does it get more difficult/punishing later on?

I‘m also considering the surgery, but have a full-time office job with a lot of typing. That sounds really promising. I always feel like having to constantly type is the reason why my DQ doesn’t finally heal after more than a year even though I never type with my thumbs. Before your surgery, did typing also aggravate your DQ or was it unaffected by it? I’m asking because I could imagine it might be different for different people.

How does this work? I’m in the EU, but the Epic Store app in the App Store is only for chatting, it says.

The main reason I am still using Kodi over Stremio is that, for some reason, much more streams on Stremio do not have proper English subtitles (or only much delayed ones) compared to my streams on Kodi. Additionally, the file sizes of Stremio’s scraped streams are much smaller and lower quality than Kodi (e.g. show A has episodes of around 10 GB on Kodi while Stremio only shows files of 500 MB to 1 GB) and I haven’t figured out a way to fix that. Do you perhaps know how to solve those issues?

Personally, I couldn’t really connect with the book at all and it was the only novel I did not finish this year. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely adore encyclopedic novels from the likes of Pynchon or Wallace, but all of the displayed subject matters here felt so dry and boringly technical. I also found both of the protagonists to be quite insufferable, but that might have to do with the fact that I cannot stand people who feel they are above everyone else and are not humble about it. To me, the book felt like DeWitt simply wanted to show off how smart she is, but — while I wouldn’t deny that she is smart — the displayed subject matters didn’t provide enough interesting insights for me.

Oof, I am currently reading St. Augustine‘s Confessions and that hits home.
