Glad to see this get up. Hopefully we’ll get more diverse rpg discussions than just D&D and derivatives :)

So hyped for this. The earlier seasons are amongst my all time fave anime.

As I've enjoyed the prior audiobooks in the series I am happy to hear book 3 is coming up soonish, August 1st.

Is there a tendency to regard books which make us feel bad as "better" than ones which don't? in c/literature@beehaw.org

If anything it's the reverse I'd think. Just look at books without a Happily Ever After and how that's looked down on, and why its a requirement for Romance publishers.

Been waiting for this. His other Tolkien narration jobs have been excellent.

Starfield’s 30fps frame rate is “a choice,” God of War dev says in c/gaming@beehaw.org

Of course it is. As always a choice between visual quality and framerate.

DF did a pretty decent video on the whole 30fps question.

Knight's Bane by Kirk Mason audiobook (www.amazon.com)

So I recently finished the audiobook version of Knight's Bane by Kirk Mason . A fantasy romance featuring a vampire lady and a farmer turned knight.

A quite enjoyed it, though I've enjoyed much of Kirks other books which are mostly fantasy romances, mostly non monogamous ones.

The narrator, Savannah Thomas, was pretty good. First time I'd heard her narrate anything.

I went to Reddit today... in c/chat@beehaw.org

Yeah. Though the third party users are probably are the heaviest users so probably have an outsized impact on the content of various subreddits. So no, I don't think the lack of 3rd party clients and those users will kill Reddit, anymore than its killed twitter or Tumblr shennanigans has killed tumblr. That said I did just join today, and I do actually wonder given the death of 3rd party clients and the IPO when reddit will try to squash NSFW subreddits and posts. Thats the kind of thing I'd expect as they IPO and chase advertisers.
