  • Klingons are so wholesome

  • Gideon the Ninth. Very different, very fun.

    I didn't like Ancillary Justice that much. I loved some of the themes and how the world works, but narratively it felt like it was always pushing too hard to be dramatic. I think I'll finish the rest of the series at some point, but it's not quite for me.

  • I sort of do. It's half mangled version of the name, half an abstract identifier of the character, and there's a bit of "shape" of the name as a whole too, I suppose. But when I want to say the name aloud, I realise it's pretty far from what the actual name sounds like.

  • We were actually talking about A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine. Can't recommend it enough. It's narrowly my favourite lesbian science fiction debut novel-turned-series about a galactic empire of 2019.

  • I often start talking about a book I'm reading only to realise I have zero idea how to pronouce the names of half of the characters.

    My sister recently blew my mind when she straight up pronounced "the Teixcalaanli Empire", presumably correctly and without any hesitation. I haven't heard it out loud before then. Hell, I didn't even know it was possible to pronounce it in the first place.

  • I’ve never heard of Y pointing up.

    Screen coordinates work like this because they are 2D. X for horizontal, Y for vertical.

    Oh, you need to sort your 2D graphics to figure out how to handle overlaps? Z it is!

  • First off, the rat's statement wasn't a lie, only a falsehood. For a lie the rat would have to intentionally attempted deception rather than just being wrong.

    Second, the snake's statement about not being poisonous was directly connected to "don't be afraid" with an implied "because". While technically true, he was definitely attempting a deception. Maybe not by means of a lie, but not in any way less harmful. That would normally be grounds for chopping his hand off, so he's also abusing the fact that he doesn't have arms.

    That said, the rat was fucking stupid because I the scenario would probably end the same way whether the snake was venomous or not.
