Warning chaps. There's a very servere gold dupe bug at present. There's also reports that you can be given gold without having to accept a trade window (Unconfirmed at present afaik). To be safe it might be worthwhile staying offline for now. You might get caught up in a banwave and this might be serious enough for a rollback (Stranger things have happened). Stay safe peeps.

Stephen Baxter has a new one out tomorrow. Galaxias. I wonder if it's an Asimov reference https://asimov.fandom.com/wiki/Galaxia By the middle of the 21st century, humanity has managed to overcome a series of catastrophic events and maintain some sense of stability. Space exploration has begun again. Science has led the way. But then one day, the sun goes out. Solar panels are useless, and the world begins to freeze Earth begins to fall out of its orbit. The end is nigh. Someone has sent us a sign.

I'm currently reading the manga "We never learn" About a hard working but poor highschool boy who gets asked to tutor two genius girls. Turns out they're geniuses in their own fields (Science and literature) but each really wants to do the other. Gradually the cast expands. It's a little bit like Quintets but eventually far more fanservicey (The teacher senpai is hilarious) and much sweeter and innocent. I'm not all the way through Quintets but there's a dark undercurrent floating there regarding their father. Warning. Contains a fair amount of skin and accidental flashing so won't be to all tastes.

Yup. I think it's doing well at the moment mainly because it's been a long time since we had a competent western developed mmo. Given the rather slight and repetitive experience we can probably expect to see an eventual hard dropoff in player numbers. I hope Amazon have an efficient content pipeline and some plans for non-pvp activites at max level. Personally I'm already sick about how scarce resources are in certain zones and I'm done with running for 20 minutes to do a faction mission for barely any reward. I played a bit last night (First time in over a week) and got myself to level 30 so I could craft a second bag. After that I couldn't really face spending most of my time travelling to level up more. Someone posted a town mission in reddit. You had to provide 15 starmetal ingots. The reward was XP (Quite a lot) and just over 1 gold. It would literally cost you more than one gold to craft that much starmetal. And of course once you're at max level the XP is pointless.

They're just "books"

If you go here https://www.amazon.com/comixology/account You can opt to see your comics in your Kindle app. Of course there's no default catagory for them in the app so they're scattered here there and everywhere and I now have 3075 uncollected titles in my library. Cheers for the good job there amazon *Edit* At least they didn't forget guided view

I've never played Runscape but I hear a lot of people say it's a lot like that. It's essentially an open world MMO with a heavy emphasis on (optional) pvp and crafting. There's a slight theme park element with some unimaginative main and side quests. Real time combat with blocking and dodging. Due to some development issues it's a tad barebones and I don't think there's any endgame currently outside of pvp but there's definite promise and room for expansion.

They're all short stories. Between 20-40 pages each. I don't want to dictate to anyone else but I find even 99p paying over the odds for that little content. There's been a trend recently where people are shipping novellas out implying they're full length books (You have to essentially read the small print to realise).

I just read it today and wow. That certainly went some places didn't it. Always nice to see a prominent Mr Terrific.

While it plays completely differently Dead Cells is a run based roguelite with background progression in the same way Hades is. There's a good chance you'd like it. I prefer it to Hades.

My Binbok controllers arrived yesterday and I love them. Very nice having a real dpad for Tetris. Now I just need a case they'll fit in.

I remember a brief period when during the server transition we were cloud based for a short period and the speed difference was absolutely insane. Shame it's so expensive.

When does the next Hulk series start?

ComicsEra is fun but I tend not to post much outside of a few small communities.
