I've never seen the word "yever" before, but I like it
It needs an apostrophe like y'all.
I love how intuitive it is. I knew immediately that it meant "have you ever" or "do you ever"
holy crap, I didn't even notice. I automatically read it as "you ever".
opposite for me, spent some time wondering who Yever was and why the sentence made no sense
Is it weird that I utterly despise it?
I've been doing cyber security for years now. Back in the pandemic, I found a talk about using elevators for physical penetration tests. Went down the rabbit hole and now I can tell you a lot about an elevator just from the up and down buttons in the lobby lol.
Was it Deviant Ollman? I love his work!
For anyone else, I really recommend it: https://youtu.be/ZUvGfuLlZus?si=nEvh3dhhLsaJ-IpU
Yeah that's the name. Was struggling to remember. Thanks for linking it so I can go back through it later lol
Thanks for chiming in with the video link. This is super interesting. I can't wait to talk my partner's ear off with elevator facts the next time we ride one lol
I fucking love their content!
For me it's learning stuff, especially DIY and crafts. I just can't resist, as much as I try to remain only with the things I already do.
The most recent one for me is the book genre of progression fantasy. I saw a post about a book series called cradle a bit ago and by now I've read over 40 books in the genre.
That's how I got sucked into scifi serials a few years back. It's like soap operas with spaceships and I can't believe I'm into this now. XD
Any books you'd recommend besides cradle? I just finished the mistborn trilogy, and while it's not strictly progressive fantasy, I need another thing to scratch that itch
I know the feeling, I actually made a spreadsheet of people's recommendations to help find that next read
Beware of chicken, is one of my favourites, it's a parody and it's very fun
Iron prince, I liked this one
Mother of learning is a fun timeloop trip
The captain, not strictly progression fantasy but it's written by cradle author and its fantastic
Dungeon crawler carl, also a parody and it's fun
The primal hunter is pretty okay
Portal to nova roma is pretty okay, I enjoyed it but it's not the best
Soulhome is another one that is pretty okay, I enjoyed it
I’m a big fan of the Completionist Chronicles and its preceding series Divine Dungeon. The main character flip flops between slightly sociopathic and good, but the progression system is really open-ended while still following s consistent set of rules that are easy to understand.
How is that different from LitRPG? I have read some LitRPG by Xander Boyce because he's in my EVE Online alliance, and enjoyed them.
Another Eve player :O
Sort of! I've been subscribed but inactive for about a year. I'm in HR so I haven't been purged yet, but it's only a matter of time.
Oh! I was in TEST then PH a long time ago, stopped playing after the last lockdown in my country
I'm in a TEST Corp! It's a great place to play when I feel like playing.
I still remember wwb 2 like it was yesterday
Yep, I was in several dozen-hour keepstar sieges. Ridiculous!
Litrpg is a subset of progression fantasy. It's like beans and legumes
Oh, like the Cleric's Quintet, I loved that series! I should look for some more like it now that I know an overarching term for the genre... ... Wait a minute - I see what you're doing here 😐
Yeah, you remember that futurama episode where the giant amazon women try to snu snu the guys? That awakened something. Here on Lemmy it's called !fitmoe@lemmy.world.
Someone loaned me a copy of philip k dicks the reader last year. I already loved cyberpunk and dystopic cinema, and seeing where a lot of those plots originated and the writing style got me hooked. Ive read sooo many SF and cyberbunk novels over the last year because of it.
I hadnt read fiction for years, back in college I read will self and william burroughs, which in hindsight probably falls under the same umbrella. I didnt have an internet device back then so it was only what I found in the library and not a lot really held my attention. Glad someone who knew me said hey, youll probably like this.
I saw only memes on reddit of JoJo, and now i have watched till part5 and read all parts after it and various Oneshots. Now i wait till the Author makes more. And yes it was quite an obsession for a while, all thanks to a few memes. years later: ok lets watch that newish Rodriguez Movie: Alita. A few months later: i have consumed all content (2,5 long Mangas series) and am up to date and again. So Yes its: i see a small snipped and now i wanna know every Part of the Lore.
