Naja, da steht schon ziemlich groß "Caschys Blog" oben auf der Seite. Ganz davon abgesehen, dass die Website auch nicht so wahnsinnig unbekannt ist.
So einen habe ich auch mal gesehen. In der Innenstadt. Hat ein Fahrrad vor seinen Wagen gestellt, das er wohl irgendwo hin bringen wollte und das dann wohl vergessen, ist nämlich beim Ausparken voll drüber gefahren.
Absoluter Schwachsinn so ein Auto...
Klingt so als würde da genau ein Satz fehlen, damit das ganze Sinn ergibt - vermutlich vergessen oder überlesen?
I tried protondb for days, all the fixes, different proton versions, GE, normal, old - nothing worked. I know it did at some point, I finished it before, but my second play through is on windows right now.
This is simply not true. I had so many issues with all sorts of different games (Xcom 2 and elden ring, just the latest two examples) that I just switched back to windows after using Linux for years.
Proton is great, and works great for smaller and less demanding games, but if you're looking at AAA titles it's not there yet.
Oh that's too bad, I was actually looking forward to reading those books soon...
Did they modernize it in the show?
The third book was so bad. I loved the first and actually enjoyed the second (it was the first time i heard about "the dark forest" theory), but the third just annoyed me.
From the moment the MC failed her task because of her motherly instincts or some bs like that to the last 100+ pages that were just the author masturbating over his ideas of how ultra high-tech-civilizations could develop, there was nothing that made sense or was really compelling about it.
You missed nothing stopping midway through book 3.
I don't know how common the trope is, but since reading Accelerando i love the idea of extending your mind with computers. It starts with the MC sending AI-Agents to research tasks in the beginning of the book (something thats not that unrealistic nowadays), to most of a humans "thinking power" being outside their head.
"The precursor" is also always great. I loved the "broken earth" trilogy for that, most of what i remember from it is about finding out what the precursors did and how their artefacts worked.
What I dislike isn't really a trope, but it's when an author expects me to believe that future populations are stuck in the present cultural climate. A lot of old scifi books have aged really poorly because their authors could not imagine society moving forwards at all, so their societies of the future just seem dated. "The stars my destination" is like this imo.
For the second concern i like the two Hainish Circle books i have read, "The dispossessed" and "The left hand of darkness". They mention that something like earth exists, but it's not even a plot point, it's just another planet. But then again these books are social commentar / thought experiment first and foremost, they just happen to be in a Sci-Fi setting.
Blindsight has something like that too, the Aliens are completely different from humans in that book. And its available for free if you're interested..
I also like how the Three Body Problem solves this issue (are there spoiler tags on here? Would hate to spoil part of the plot).
