I love this. There is literally nothing in the world better than listening to someone talk about something they are passionate about. You are an awesome person on the lemmings and hope you don’t mind that I’ve tagged you as “Fucking loves Clowns is a good way”. And honestly it’s never too late to chase you passion. You should look around for some clowning classes near you.

I know comparing corporations to psychopaths is kind of unfair to psychopaths. Most psychopaths can see themselves farther into the future then the end of the quarter.

Interestingly, The Tragedy of the Commons really does work with psychopaths, so once you move from a person to person level to corporations interacting the Tragedy of the Commons problem becomes a serious issue. Take a minimum wage, it necessary for the population as a whole to have surplus wealth to spend to keep an economy going. Individual companies, on the other hand, have an incentive to pay their own employees a pittance. If every company does that then there’s no surplus wealth for people to purchase most goods and slowly the economy grinds to a halt. Hence it’s in society’s best interest to have a healthy and large minimum wage (or better yet a UBI system) which will have to be enforced on companies by an outside force.

Colin Powell couldn’t even pull that shit off.

Death’s Door - I’m not going to lie I’m old. 3d platformers, hell any platformers that require quick reflexes and precise controls aren’t normally my bag, but this funky little crow is so much fun to play as, I don’t mind the difficulty. (Which I have to admit isn’t that hard I just suck)

“Down at the end of lonely street …”

Nope you’re not crazy … well at least not about this, you might be stark raving loony but the Hook DVD did have a game: Hook DVD Review - BBC

Yeah Scorsese has shit he wants to say, and it’s interesting and compelling stuff. But it doesn’t fit in a tight ninety minutes and I miss a tight ninety minutes.

I mean Scorsese can tell his story how ever he wants but Killers sure did feel too long and too short at the same time.

Absolutely! The short sighted idiocy of this really points out the corporate thinking only about the next Q. This would get maybe a month before the economic crash

Uhhh….

I’ve got to second The Old Guard. Charlize Theron is seriously bad ass in it. And everyone else is too. That movie is so much better than it has any right to be. It’s like nobody got the memo and just went balls to the wall.

I like this concept and that opening paragraph is the bomb. “Son of a bitch, I’m in.” Morty pointing meme.

I’ll definitely pop Altered Carbon on my list. I haven’t watch the series but didn’t they also have an issue with quality consistency? I often find 3rd or 4th books in series have drop in quality and the it pulls back up (The Expanse) or completely nose dove into the dirt (The Magic of Xanth).

It’s funny I started on Scalzi with Redshirts, which was good but felt like a short story that he padded out to make a novel with. I then read the Old Man Wars series and it just wasn’t for me. It felt like a slog to get through and I was about to give up on Scalzi but I figured the first Lock In book was already in my reading list on my library audiobook app so I’d give it a go, and man that turned me around on Scalzi really right in my groove. So I’ll give Fuzzy Nation a go next and see if I just don’t like the Old Man’s War series.

This one seems hard to find but I’ll put a request in at my local library to see if they can get a copy on loan from another library system.

I’ve seen this book on a lot of shelves but I never knew about the Canterbury Tales concept. I drop this in to my bookshelf buffer just on the reference alone. Although I do reserve the right to picture Dan Simons as Paul Bettany ala A Knight’s Tale.

“Inception meets True Detective” - pops the lollipop out of my mouth “You son of a bitch, I’m in.”
Yeah this sounds good thanks for the recommendation.

I found Locked In to be quite good, Recursion looks interesting from the wiki plot synopsis, like crime riff on Replay which is a really good book and a great concept. I’ll put Recursion in my bookshelf buffer.
I love Andy Weir’s work, I’ve been a fan from his Casey and Andy webcomic days. I really liked Hail Mary but I’m more talking about detective mysteries rather then science mysteries :)
I’m a bit iffy on horror, but mostly because I haven’t read enough to be in on the tropes. I do like the idea of space horror but I suspect that it all in the execution. Thanks I’ll give it go.

I really enjoyed The Expanse - the books that is, I’m stuck in season 4 of the tv series which covers my least favourite book. But I definitely wouldn’t call it a real mystery, detective Miller and his hunt for Julie aside.
But yeah don’t miss on The Expanse series it’s excellent.
