I've read the first three so far, taking a break now.
Honestly, i found the first book the hardest and, at least in my view, it is the least "consistent". The second and third book actually seem to repeat important information more often, which gave me the confidence to just keep reading without worrying too much about missing stuff. I'm sure i missed some points and details, but i could follow the story fine.
Actually in some cases i was sure i missed something, took a note to look it up after finishing the book, then upon looking it up online i found that no, there really wasn't that much more to it or it'll get explained in later books :)
Edit: I read Dune years ago and can't really remember how difficult it was, sorry. I think i found the worldbuilding in Dune to be kind of lacking? That is not a problem with the Malazan books. I haven't read The Road
Yeah, not only does Adobe provide a DRM solution, seems like their reader doesn't even properly work.
Another reason to dislike Adobe: I'm using Linux and reading on an old Kindle Paperwhite i recently put KOReader on. Since i don't want to support amazon anyway I'm trying to buy books directly from authors, or if that doesn't work, from other book stores. The problem? Most ship the books using "Adobe DRM", meaning you get a *.acsm file, supposed to be opened with some Adobe tool to download the book you bought. This tool is of course not available on Linux, and even if it were, why not just provide the file directly?
There is acsmdownloader which works fine, but again, i have to jump through hoops to download my bought book (my bad for actually wanting to support authors i guess...). Sadly, this format of ebook delivery seems to have become the standard nowadays. Thank you Adobe...
Thank you to Tor Books for actually providing their files without DRM, though! At least one publisher seems to be doing it right.
I'm assuming swiss german "Wüetisheer" is the "same thing" (probably with some differences because of local customs) as Vuotisheer. Interesting, i've also seen it linked to the Wild Hunt.
This seems very strong, no? In graveyard decks you often have 3 or more creatures in your graveyard, enabling you to reanimate one per turn in theory (at some point the life cost might become too high of course), and surveil helps keep the graveyard stocked somewhat.
Maybe eggs? Or corn in some sort of sticky sauce?
Oh, i thought the title was clickbait, but it really is not. Poor sunfish, but i guess such is life if you're not an apex predator.
They still do, at least where i live (western europe). Source: went to the cinema last sunday
Might also be a partial rollout to check reception and / or technical issues. I personally try to avoid any site that does this
Never heard of it, i'll check it out, thank you!

Bunderkinespecially looks interesting and funI'm assuming swiss german "Wüetisheer" is the "same thing" (probably with some differences because of local customs) as Vuotisheer. Interesting, i've also seen it linked to the Wild Hunt.
Something a bit different, but swiss black / folk metal band Ungfell created a song where the Wüetisheer is a topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzB-Mol6I1g
It does, thanks!
Searching for Yokai gives me this result: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y%C5%8Dkai
Or is this something different?
Look around panicked, half jump / half fall off, run a few meters in the garden like crazy then act like nothing happened

Where did you install it?
~~Since you are on an Arch based distro you should be able to install egctl from the aur: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/egctl-bin
I'm not that familiar with Endevour OS, but maybe you can do something like
yay -Syu egctl-bin~~The tool should be installed somewhere your path envkronment variable points to and then you'll be able to execute it from your shell (terminal)
Edit: I linked the wrong tool, sorry. Thanks for pointing it out.
Sehr spannender Artikel, danke. Fand auch die Ursprünge der heute bekannten Begriffe toll:
Very cool idea to improve the look of a building!
Now the only question is: how did the blacksmith get the sword up there in the first place?

Happy birthday! But where is the cat tax?
I see your reply on lemmy!
