Eyes of the Void is the second book. ;) Lords of Uncreation is the third!

Which deus ex plot elements are you talking about, specifically? I know some of the events in the books can be confusing, but most of it falls into place eventually.

It’s my favorite series. Has been since the first time I read Gardens of the Moon. Abercrombie’s First Law a close second though.

It’s hard to explain why I love it. From the first chapter it pulled me in and doesn’t let me go until I’m done (excepting the first few chapters of House of Chains ;)). The scope of the story is one thing. How events hundreds of thousands of years ago shape the events in the books, the chronological jumps, how seemingly unrelated incidents suddenly become entwined. Erikson is a master at making every puzzle piece fall into place; even if you’re confused about something as you read it, a few chapters or a book later it will make sense. The little throwbacks to events in previous books, etc. Besides that, his worldbuilding is phenomenal and his characters are unforgettable.

I am rereading Malazan Book of the Fallen. Just started the fourth book, House of Chains.

The start of this book is the hardest for me to get through. The first couple of chapters are really boring to me and it’s only after

that I start getting into the story. The rest of the book is phenomenal, of course.

Edit: damn, is there no other spoiler option that just greys out the words? Edit2: Geez, I only just now realize this is not c/books but c/sciencefiction. Sorry if this post doesn’t belong here then, haha.

I’ve used Slide too. It was super intuitive and I’ve never had any issues with it at all!

I believe instances can block other instances entirely, right? Or have I misunderstood that? This would mean none of those bots in there could ever post in our threads here. I’m sure there will be cooperation between the instances on this.

I agree. Been using Jerboa as well and it’s nice and usable enough as a placeholder, but I’ll be watching the Sync development. Can’t wait!

I just checked if this was real (yes I do that a lot :D) and omg, it is! I had never heard of it.

The wiki showed another version of this, called Orchis simia:

Orchis simia, commonly known as the monkey orchid, is a greyish pink to reddish species of the genus Orchis. It gets its common name from its lobed lip which mimics the general shape of a monkey’s body.[1]

Look how adorable!

Purple broccoli? I didn’t even know that was a thing! It looks like… I don’t know what it looks like, but I wouldn’t have the balls to eat it.

Quite a slim majority, but stil great news! Hopefully it’ll become more normalized and accepted a bit faster now.

Really happy for everyone finally being able to marry their partner. :)

I hadn’t even heard of Lemmy until a few days ago. Maybe it’ll ride the momentum. End of the month there will probably be another influx, considering the reddit changes.

Let’s hope so! Some of the communities are a bit empty still. Hopefully it’ll change. :)

I have already uninstalled my reddit app from my phone. Now I just need to stop myself from automatically hitting my bookmarks on pc all the time. After years and years of reddit, it’s hard to break the habit, lol.
