I'm still playing BG3: I've just recently started Act 3, and I am still loving the game, though I'm finding it harder to stay focused at this point. I'm also starting to think about how to play a more evil character in my next playthrough without being a total asshole, but we'll see how that comes along.

I never really thought of it as science fiction (see her MaddAdam series for something more SF-y), but I love the book and think it does a great job of extrapolating from various political trends into where parts of the "western world" could end up going.

I'm also not surprised it's a candidate for being banned, either from people who think it paints religion or conservativsm in a negative light, or people who think it might make anyone under 18 uncomfortable. Is it appropriate for 5 year olds? Probably not. 16 year olds? Seems reasonable to me.

I'm still working my way through Baldurs Gate 3: I guess I'm around the middle of Act 2. I am still loving the game :).

I think "bad" would be the wrong word. I usually describe it as "weird". And it feels a bit smushed together somehow: lots of different things that don't really fit that well together, in my opinion.

It may well be worth reading, but as the first entry on a list of best science fiction and fantasy, it feels out of place to me.

I've read schockingly few of the ones on the list, and from what I know, I feel torn. Some I'm happy to see: NK Jemisin is a great author, and although I haven't read Exhaltation by Ted Chiang, everything I've read of his has been incredible.

On the other hand, seeing Perdidio Street Station as the first entry really threw me for a loop. The book is totally fine, but it is extremely weird, and I definitely don't see it as a must-read.

Edit: typo

Hah, I do know what twerking is, but I never associated it with this phrase. A follow-up: are you actually touching the ground? What body part is touching the ground?

In our first game of Clank Legacy, we thought that as long as you died above the Line of No Return, or whatever it's called, you got points, regardless of whether you had an artifact or not. This had...implications for some of the story choices that we made.

Ja, ich habe Krabat vergessen. Das habe ich schon gelesen, nachdem ich den ASP Album gehört habe :)

Ich habe gestern mit Die Haartepichknüpfer angefangen und ich bin total hooked. Vielen Dank für die Empfehlung!

Klingt wie eine gute Empfehlung! Ich lese normalerweise auf meinem Tolino, aber Die Stadt der träumenden Bücher war als "normales" Buch großartig...ich vermute, dass Die 13 1/2 Leben auch besser nicht auf dem Tolino ist.

Momo habe ich schon gelesen und großartig gefunden. Ich habe irgendwann mit Die Elfen angefangen, aber ich war nicht "hooked"...vielleicht soll ich es nochmal probieren...

In Austria, some things like ground beef are ordered in decagrams. My wife used to get confused responses when she tried that in Germany :).
