Elden Ring. Been on a souls like kick, so decided to do another playthrough. Haven’t played in over a year I don’t think so it’s time!

Okay but FR wtf is usenet. I’ve never known, and I’m old enough to be able to say that I should

Its kind of fucked either way. They’re too short but a lot happens because each book is broken into thirds that are separated by huge time gaps, and inside those thirds there are also time gaps. A movie, even a long one, would be incredibly disjointed and the pacing would feel bizarre.

I imagine it’s probably why nobody has made it a series or movie before even though it’s such a beloved sci Fi series. You’d have to take a lot of creative liberties with it, which is for better or worse, what they’re doing.

I’ve just started the show, and I feel like from the outset they made it clear that a LOT of the show is creative fiction to fill in the gaps. I feel like a lot of people forget just how short the original trilogy is. F, F&E and SF, collectively, are like an 8 hour read! I don’t love everything the show has done (and some of the acting is atrocious) but I love how they chose what boils down to allusions in the books and focused whole episodes on what that would’ve looked like in real time.

I also really like how they are not afraid to completely abandon cliff hangers for several episodes at a time, while still keeping you invested in what’s happening. Asimov dwas notorious for that and did it SEVERAL times on the trilogy. Oh you wanna know what happens? Well I’ll tell you eventually, but first, here’s forty pages introducing brand new characters on a completely different planet…300 years in the future. Bitch.

Would you fucking stop please?

Can you not change your all icons on iPhone to anything you want like you can on Android? That fuckin sucks fam.

LMAO they killed third party apps to force you to use their garbage app, then charge extra for something if you buy it in said garbage app. What in the actual fuck.

Sportsurge.net and/or sportsurge.io. between the two (I honestly have no idea why/how they're different, the streams aggregated are the same) there's not much I can't find usually. I use it to stream everything from out of market NFL, to MMA fights, to Italian Soccer matches.
