The What Are You Reading thread (now with a simpler name)
Finished Children of Dune. Yeah the tone and pacing is much closer to book 1, compared to book 2. Dune Messiah comes of as an interlude between the two books. Anyways, on to book 4.

Random video game news... Games are Randomly News Worthy
Yep. Seems that this is not the first time he did it. At one point he spawned bots in a ranked game for a streamer and turned it in to zombie mode, spammed streamers with packs to unlock all cosmetics and similar stuff. But this one is big as the publicity is much larger. The funniest thing about this whole thing is that the hacker can just claim he did this before and that he influenced past tournaments. How apex works, and most shooter games these days too, is that anyone who is playing on a controller has aim assist in an effort to level the playing field with the mouse and keyboard players. So he could have just modified the value for the aim assist to be stronger and made whichever team he wanted have better odds.

Random video game news... Games are Randomly News Worthy
So during an official Apex Legends tournament, players got hacked and remote installed cheating cheating software on their PCs. To make matters funny some got an account ban. What makes this story interesting is that apex runs a kernel level anti-cheat software and the suspicion is that the hack happened through it. This is the screen that flashed for every player when the hack happened. See if you can spot it. 😄

Could be, it doesn't help that it's the older style of Serbian either, that's why I said it with some reserve. On the other hand the first part of the book was all introspection, until one point where it just went back to normal pacing and book 3 feels much more like book 1 too. Either way I get why I completely spaced out on book 2 in the series.

It was very late when I read the post. I was tired... Let's go with that excuse...

The What Are You Reading thread (now with a simpler name)
Finished book 2. I read book 1 in Serbian and book 2 in English, so I can't say for sure, but it really does feel like a completely different approach to narrative, at least the first half of the book. Was it from the game?

I just realized why I completely forgot that book 2 exists... Such a shift in narrative style from book 1. Depends on which books you want to read. https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Marie_Fenring

Tbh, the summary of the books until the end does seem interesting, that kind of gives me fuel to power through it, at least until that book.

I could never get past book 5, but it has been quite a bit since I read it. Will try again. From what I see the last book came out 2 years ago.

Anime and Manga - How do you Live? Edition
Uf...The animation budget must have ran out for this episode... That was a sharp drop in quality. Also what a strange place to cut the episode. I guess they still have one more and they wanted to fill it out a bit more.

It was pretty similar in the book too, if anything they showed more of the battles in the movie.

Reread Dune after watching the newest movie made me realize how much I had forgotten about the story. On to book 2.

I am going through the books again, they pretty much say outright that Fremen manhandle the Sardaukar. Until these recent movies, Children of Dune of was my favorite rendition of it.

Anime and Manga - How do you Live? Edition
Episode 11 of Delicious in Dungeon. This episode marks the real start of the main story and it goes off with a bang. From here on out it's a wild ride.

Anime and Manga - How do you Live? Edition
Considering that magic discovery is what primarily interests her, I would say not very. More apt description would be lonely, I think.

Dune 2. Chef's kiss. I don't know why people are saying that the ending is open ended. They showed a lot of teasers for Dune 3 through the movie. Again I am wondering if he is crazy enough to try and do book 4.

The Gentlemen netflix series. If you like Guy Ritchie movies, you will love the series. At some point he will have to do some different though...then again maybe not.

Anime and Manga - How do you Live? Edition
Delicious in dungeon has started touching upon the main story in the latest episode. Do wonder if the plan is to cover the whole manga, otherwise I can't think of a good spot to stop with the number of episodes they have.
