I just kept two fingers over the middle of the image and that covered what was meant to be folded 🙂

It’s mildly funny. The latest one, for example, about the Phillips. That cracked me up!
Yeah, I guess my mistake was that at no point did I read anywhere that it’s a reimagining. If I had, I would have set expectations accordingly that it’ll be exactly what it is - a horribly mangled version of the original.
Also, have you seen the one season of the original that was made by a Chinese production house? It’s available freely on YouTube. Yes, it’s wholly in mandarin. But it is soooo good!
Yes. Anything wrong with that?
No, the books do have some western characters.
Yeah, I expected more from Netflix. Giving it to Dumb and Dumber sealed the deal for the show being horrible.
Lack of any similarity to the original characters of the story.
More reasons to ignore this shitty reinterpretation of the epic book series! Showrunners really destroyed the original story.
I was gonna say it was full of the French, but this is a much better pun!
Hmm. Lofi enough solution. 😆
what are mesh von ips?
Oh, you mean e.g. always using the tailscale IP? Sure, I can do that. But it sure would be a pain since at home I use the .local domain very comfortably...
So… the Netflix show is nothing compared to the original story. Sure, it’s got the plot points and a lot of graphics visualizing the game. But it also melds characters together and makes a poor show of the storytelling. Plus, knowing the showrunners, I wholly expect them to shit the bed even more somewhere down the line.
I read the books and watched the Chinese version and the tv show did a splendid job of visualizing the details, the ethos, the characters. Worth a watch, even if trudging through the subtitles was a drag.
