Use of Weapons is among my absolute favorite books. What an absolutely incredible journey

This is awesome, thanks!!!

I really love, and really miss, healing in wow raids circa WOTLK through Cata, specifically using healnot and custom keybinds to keep people alive. I don’t have time or budget for an MMO in my late 30s, nor do I see that easing up anytime soon.

I think a game where you had to do raid mechanics/puzzles while keeping NPCs alive through healing could be really fun, even without a loot grind. Or a game that dropped you into a multiplayer raid encounter without the crap around it. Either could be great.

I didn’t find him particularly scary in Insomnia, but he was believable and his character had depth which meant a lot more in the context of the film.

Insomnia is still a bit underrated, buried in the larger Nolan canon. It’s an incredible and inventive crime drama, but probably (one of?) Nolan’s weakest. Which is to say it’s broadly only like an 8/10.

“Also what’s the ethical structure behind literally enslaving a species of creatures and forcing them to cook our meals and keep our homes?”

“Well Harry you see, they’re lesser than us and also they like it that way”

“…”

(Harry Potter? Not a great book series, from a not-great philosophical mind.)

I’m on Matter and I’m loving it! Player of Games and Use of Weapons are my favorites in the series so far but I’ve loved each of them for their own reasons (with the exception of the short story collection State of the Art, it was fine but the rest of the series is on a different level!)

If you assume that each person takes at least 10 seconds to make the decision, it would take something like 2500 years for everyone currently alive to cycle through one time, at which point we’ll have plenty of new people to pass the decision along to.

As long as we don’t increase the human lifespan past 2500 years or fully stop reproducing, we should be okay!
