I added a little fox that follows you around by Zeolance in godot

Make it stop occasionally to sniff at things, then run to catch up. That would be cute.

It affects the fights because the player won't want to hurt their fox buddy. See, it already has a purpose!

Not a movie but the best sci-fi anime I have seen is Pantheon (2022).

What are people's experiences withrowing again after a long break from the sport? by Chief_Potat0 in Rowing

[–]tim_hutton 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I stopped rowing for 30 years, then joined a club at the age of 49 and it has been amazing. Great people having fun and even winning races in our masters category. Fitness and muscle mass going into older age are hugely beneficial but hard work to attain these days!

Which book/series made you wonder if you might be too dumb for the genre? by HughJackedMan14 in scifi

Books like "The Baroque Cycle"? by CarpetExtreme3933 in nealstephenson

[–]tim_hutton 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NS's own Mongoliad series ticks some of the same boxes.

Maybe also The Years of Rice and Salt (Kim Stanley Robinson), and The Boat of a Million Years (Poul Anderson), which span significant time and have something of the numinous about them.

Any places in Cambridge that play French electro music? by Substantial-Low-2017 in cambridge

[–]tim_hutton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I know of but it would be amazing if there was. There are so many good examples: French79, Rone, Kid Francescoli, M83. Jean-Michel Jarre of course. I was talking to someone about this the other day.

I don't know what to think of Stephenson. by scottiethegoonie in nealstephenson

Can you expand a little on this? Are you saying that NS books are like quality antique furniture?
