You are equating all Palestinians as Hamas which is just factually wrong. Israel are in did fighting a war to commit genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza. This is not even debatable or something that Israel itself hides.

About half the population in Gaza are children. They also represent a significant share of the casualties and injured. Tell me how any of those children want to exterminate Jews and how Israel needs to defend itself from them. Tell me how indiscriminate bombings like that are justified.

And yes Israel did start this, decades and decades ago, and they are continuing with their plan. Hamas and Israel are both benefitting from this at the expense of civilian casualties.

Thanks again for the input. I will probably read a few pages of those two and see what I feel like reading the most.

I’ll try to remember to let you know in the future :)

Have a great weekend

Thanks a lot for your comment!!

Yes I understand that the Weir books and Teixcalaan duology are not that similar :)

I’ll keep that one on my list once I go on another shopping spree. Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve seen all of the expanse and really like it but because I’ve seen it I’m not too keen on reading the books. Even though I’m aware that there are differences.

Regarding the ones I had, yesterday I read more and yea 3 Body Problem seems like I’ll leave it aside for now.

I’m currently debating between the Mars Series or the Cyberpunk. I guess the question is if I want hard SF like you mentioned or not. There was this Mars TV show that I watched a few years ago and I really liked it so maybe there’s that, but I watched Cyberpunk EdgeRunners on Netflix and also liked it and made me want to try the game again. So it’s a hard call.

The Mars series seems quite beefy (in terms of size/pages) while Necromancer is like half the size. Would you say however that the Mars series is an “easy read”? What about Necromancer etc? What I mean by this is that the Weir books are quite easy to go through, especially PHM which both me and my gf devoured. Not only is the story more linear (not necessarily a thing I want it’s just a reason) but it’s also more simple language? The first Teixcalaan book was very interesting but at some point I was a bit lost with all the names and hidden plots.

As you can see I also like to write testaments in comments so no need to refrain. I will take any info/feedback that you want to share :)

As someone that absolutely love the Hail Mary, as well as the Martian and literally just finished the teixcalaan duology (and quite liked it) is there anything else that you recommend? That way I don’t have to ask Bard.

What I really love about Weir’s books is that he goes quite deep into the engineering and math of his story, and as an engineer that is right up my alley. But I also enjoy good world building and politics.

In my shelf I have:

• The three body problem
• Children of time by Adrian Tchaikovsky
• Contact by Carl Sagan
• Neuronancer by William Gibson (and the sequel)
• Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson

Since I have those I will read one of them next but if you have other recommendations outside of these let me know :)

Saving this. It looks great.

I’m already there…

My save must be bugged. Still haven’t managed to bang anyone. Not even Halsin despite a bunch of them saying they are interested.

Does it improve towards the end? I was playing it and got about half way but stopped. The world is beautiful but the quests are boring af. It’s a movie with repetitive actions from time to time.

I saw it the other day and it looked pretty interesting. RPG, turn based combat, multiple characters ticks a bunch of boxes for what me and my gf usually play but then I saw it doesn’t have coop/multiplayer. But it might come out soon so I will definitely get it when that happens. The game seems pretty cool and highly rated.

Jesus fucking Christ what is this comment

It’s not

DotA 2 is definitely at the top

For the other two slots it would be something between Portal, Witcher 3 and NieR Automata.

LMAO you really spinned this as being “good” for homosexuals? You are talking about the party that literally was the main opponent against legalizing gay marriage in Switzerland with disgusting add campaigns.

They are also totally xenophobic and populist like you acuse them of the people that they are trying to prevent from entering the country.

Switzerland 100% relies on immigration, so much so that during Covid they couldn’t close their borders at all otherwise hospitals would have no workers. But they only (mostly) complain about the “bad immigrants” which you can very easily distinguish based on the skin tone like that family guy meme.

As an immigrant living here this was disgusting.

And now you know why it’s Israel’s fault that so many people join Hamas. Congrats.

Fully agreed. It’s very telling. They get REALLY pissed and defensive.

You know lemmy is better than Reddit when a post about Greta isn’t filled with people that feel personally attacked by a girl that is just trying to make the world a better place.

That always pissed me off so much.

Nah I would have found that very much Ok as I or course what Hamas did and does is completely inhumane.

It was basically a lot of different ways of saying that Palestinians deserved it because Hamas was voted in, not thrown out yet, or simply because they haven’t left. Just gross comments everywhere

Wtf? Even lemmy was crazy to read just a few days ago. Deranged comments everywhere in support of Israel. Plus a lot of governments support them directly as well.

You can also just not buy the game if it has micro transactions. It’s the same V logic

Can you share a link about that?
