Saturn's Children by Charles Stross. So far it hasn't lived up to the other works of his that I have read, but I must give him credit, the gynoid/spaceship lesbian sex scene was very tastefully done.

I guess I know what my next book is going to be :rofl:

A Thousand Splendid Suns.

I just finished Darkly Dreaming Dexter and have started on Dearly Devoted Dexter. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a writing style so much. Awesome books (Y)

I got a Kindle for Christmas (a surprise, not something I asked for) and I love it. It totally got me back into reading, something I've been wanting to do but just needed a little push.

I just returned "Cool It - The Skeptical Environmentalist's Guide To Global Warming" by Bjorn Lomborg and "The Gathering Storm" (The Wheel of Time Book 12) by Robert Jordan with Brandon Sanderson to my local library. I actually read all 700-odd pages of TGS within a week but since I've invested my time in another 11 books (plus the New Spring Prequel), I felt that I need to have this story finally end.

I just picked up "The Gypsy Morph: Genesis of Shannara" but I may have read this before (I'm not sure). I also picked up the "Elves of Cintra" (the previous book) and I have found out that I have definitely read that book so I'll move on to the Gypsy Morph.

The only other noteworthy book from the last few weeks/months was reading "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" which was fun but otherwise very silly. It was interesting because I knew the original source material and so I could see how the Zombies, Ninjas and the Sholin training got weaved into the original story.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

      People in the '50s and '60s had the same attitude, and we're still here over a half century later.
    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
