Standalone. I wanted very much to like it but it seemed underdeveloped tbh. An extra hundred pages might have smoothed out some of the narrative issues; Tchaikovsky seems to do some "tell don't show" tricks with his writing that keep the plot moving at the price of a richer experience

Just finished "Shroud" by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I'm a fan of his works but I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this one. It was an interesting mix of No Man's Sky meets Project Hail Mary with a dystopian corporate bent; but I'm not entirely sure that it worked? Act 1 could (or possibly should) have been a lot longer, and beyond that I shouldn't continue because Spoilers ;)

Yay more hype. Just what we needed more of, it's hype, at last

Don't set your expectations too high, and they'll definitely be exceeded! S2 is superior to S1 tho

Tried re-reading the books following watching S1&2. Honestly, they made me appreciate the show a lot more. The extra changes & characters have only improved and enriched the universe the story takes place in. Can't say all the changes are good, but they are all better than the books.

I don't know why there's so much hate for Vim. It's simple- just use it as your default text editor since you first started using computers, and keep using it forever, and problem solved!

Friday afternoons are best for this

What about Protagonist bangs his ex-girlfriend but actually it's a cosmic Eldrich monster who's feeding him illusions and when the illusions fracture he sees the monster's true form and is horrified so she wipes his mind and replays the loop so he can bang her again as if it's the first time but it's actually been happening for decades because he's her only living plaything and without him around she may be alone again for hundreds if not thousands of years?

Thanks very much!!

Wow, "impressions". How, uh, impressive?

The corporation is patting itself on the back, how rare.

Was it apple? I just heard about them last week but they seem expensive

Whole olives are the controversialist part
