I had no idea he was this based.

I’m going back home in a little over 2 weeks and try to find my old PSP…

I often reference this…

This is actually cool. I might buy this…

Well…

LOL… I guess!

That was the joke I think

Are you actually on threads? For a sec I thought you were a Threads user.

This feels a bit yiffy

And now you’re on the Fediverse. I’m thinking there’s something to this cyberastrology stuff…

Yeah, probably… I don’t know, I don’t really want to self-diagnose.

Probably close to a month.

:C Can’t reach the link…

Kind of reminds me of a penguin.

amazing moth

I dream about stuff like this

Ha, good meme

Yes it was

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrel by Susan Cooper

I’ve heard of this before, but ended up not going for it at the time. I’ll add it to the list, thanks :D

Thanks for the recs!

Thanks for the recs :D

Solarpunk is a more or less utopian setting, so creating a compelling conflict is likely quite challenging.

Well, maybe in the traditional sense. I think there’s value in art for beauty - simply describing a beautiful, idyllic world might be enough for a good novella - but conflict is the nexus of narrative, of a compelling one, at least. The first book, for example - A Psalm for the Wild-Built - centers the internal conflict of the MC. The second book (which I’ve now finished) feels more like a journey in a physical sense - walking around; there are different philosophies explored, but it doesn’t feel nearly as meaningful; also, at the end, a big question is asked, so it kinda feels like the whole book was a build-up - read: justification - for the last couple of pages wherein the conflict is both confronted and resolved, meaning, it’s practically absent for 95% of readtime.

…The War for Kindness by Jamil Zaki… …The Silence trilogy by D Nolan Clark…

Added to the list! :D
