Also, rare entertaining NSO drop trailer. More of this, please.

Thanks for mentioning that - I was going to skip past this but I'm glad I watched it! Got some laughs out of me

Are there any authors whose books you eagerly anticipate and tend to buy at launch? in c/books@lemmy.world

Yes it might be worth a try! I could buy a physical copy but it looks like they're a bit hard to track down in my country (and I'd rather a digital copy if possible).

That all sounds great to be honest - I love his predictions and seeing how close they come to reality. And more succinct writing is perfect. Whilst I loved Cryptonomicon, that book was probably a bit longer than it needed to be.

What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? July 15 in c/books@lemmy.world

Oh and I've also added The Given Day to my wishlist. It might be some time before I get round to reading these!

I love some of Neal Stephenson's novels, though I haven't read any of his more recent work. Are they still good?

I read Kaiju Preservation Society last year and had a lot of fun with it! I've got a copy of Old Man's War to read at some point, looking forward to it.

Nettle & Bone seems to be her most well known novel. Is that a good one to start with?

Buying them on Amazon and then downloading them elsewhere is a good suggestion! Thanks :)

Is there a particular book you'd recommend for someone wanting to try him out? Maybe a standalone one.

I read The Way of Kings earlier this year and loved it, but given the size and quantity of these books I doubt I'm going to be able to get on top on that series or any of his others in time for his latest releases xD

Waiting for series by other authors to complete makes a lot of sense. It's super frustrating following an author only for their quality to drop near the end.

I've heard great things about this series, but unfortunately it doesn't appear to be possible to buy them on Kobo? :(

Buying local is a much more enjoyable experience (pawb.social)
 

So I wanted a copy of the board game Carcassonne as it's a game I've played with friends before and loved. For things like this I (like many others) would gravitate towards Amazon.

But after some research I found that my local board game cafe sells copies of the game cheaper than anywhere online. Yesterday I popped by, grabbed a copy and had a nice chat with the owner about the game and their favourite expansions. This was a significantly better experience than buying the game online from a soulless corporation, and my money has gone to an great local company rather than a billionaire. Why did we give up the joy of shopping locally and in-person for convenience?

Similarly I was looking out for a black denim jacket in my size. Instead of going to a big clothing retailer I checked out some charity shops, and I found exactly what I wanted for a fraction of the price with the money going towards charity.

Going forward I'm going to avoid Amazon and any big American companies wherever possible. Hopefully others will do the same :)

A single tuna (once canned) will be eaten across the world at different times, potentially years apart (pawb.social)
 

Opening up a can of tuna yesterday I was wondering 'where has the rest of this tuna ended up? How long will it be before the whole fish is eaten, and how much will be wasted'?

@natebluehooves@pawb.social @crashdoom@pawb.social

So this partially seems to be an issue with anything from 'files.catbox.moe' such as this post https://pawb.social/post/20002623

I'm just getting a broken jpg image. Same deal in browser and using the Voyager app, so I can only assume it's something on the Pawb side.

And just today I noticed a similar issue with anything coming from lemmy.sdf.org. This could be either posts hosted on that site, or posts by users from the site. This community for example the recent posted images aren't loading: https://pawb.social/c/funhole@lemmy.sdf.org

Unsure if it's just me!

Edit: appears to be ok now!

As part of an art trade with @Kovukono@pawb.social

I wasn’t sure of your sona’s eye colour so I went with one I thought looked good! I can change it if you’d like.

Hopefully I captured your sona ok :3

[Meta] Could we replace the AI generated icon and banner? (pawb.social)
 

I'm not sure if people care all that much, but whenever I visit this community I can't help but notice the fairly ugly icon and banner which is clearly AI generated.

Would it be worth updating these? Heck I can make something for the community if needed
