also helped code AO3
That’s awesome, I never knew that! I knew she was a writer on video games but I didn’t realise she coded as well.

I like Temeraire but it annoys me how often the book goes, ‘Man isn’t Napoleonic England stuffy! Just as well dragon riders are rare and so we get to be as liberated as we please!’.

I wish they’d bring out more of the novels. I love the writing but the art doesn’t really do it for me.

Very true, but her work doesn’t seem religious at all (bar ‘Meyer is twisting your childrens’ minds in service of her evil cult’ articles). I mentioned Sanderson because he really, obviously cares about how man relates to god and manages to tell good stories about it.

£60 starting out, he told me. "Per hour?" I asked. "No, each month".
This is £2000 per month in today’s money. Not massively high, but amazing to see what inflation has done over the years.
Almost all in 1975, I’m not sure why.

Also great, though I haven’t read it for years. I’ll have to dig it up.
I liked the Cooper books especially because they’re steeped in English history and mythology, and they resonated with me very much growing up in the English countryside.
I don't think that matters much, it still marked a change in Dem rhetoric. Even Bernie himself had to adapt to be more appealing to the rainbow coalition.
I'm back into Stoneshard, an early access turn based gritty RPG in the vein of Battle Brothers, created by Ukrainian devs disrupted by the war.
You're basically a medieval merc doing merc things for merc reasons. Detailed injury/morale system.
It has its flaws, but its great if you like the genre. You start out useless, but eventually carve your way into legend (and your enemy's guts).
