Not including whatever Wagner got up to.

Well, there goes my sleep for the night.

I think the blurb sets up a bad set of expectations. "Lesbian necromancers in space" makes it seem like a Sci-Fi/Fantasy LGBT+ romance novel. Instead you get a mystery in a setting that is only technically science-fantasy with a vague romance side plot.

The ending isn't happy, that is for sure.

 

It's really hard to put my thoughts about this this novella into a coherent form. Especially without spoilers.

Overall I liked it. It is thought provoking in ways I wasn't expecting.

If anything holds me back from an absolute recommendation is the prose. That it is a translation shows. 73 words in a sentence just doesn't work the same way in English as it does in some languages.

What were the issues people had with it? Pacing in the middle third?

Red Sister was quite interesting. IMO the rest of the series doesn't hold up.

I highly recommend Gideon the Ninth down there at the bottom too. Very highly. Why haven't you started yet?

Honestly, anything is better than nothing. Write whatever you think is relevant and eventually you'll get a feel for formats that work for your company.

That solution puts the burden on the ISP to do the filtering. While it is the technologically easiest solution, it would require overturning the laws protecting ISPs from the content they serve.

LAMP + mediawiki went pretty quick for me. The issue was that I didn't want to dig through all their config files to tweak it to what I wanted.

But it is Bethesda we are talking about here lol.

I'm sure they will rely on the mod community for bug fixes like they have their last few games.

The ISP middleware is an interesting idea, basically an SSO (think the "Sign in with Google" you see everywhere). However, this would require some level of integration between every ISP and adult site, which would get seriously tedious as such things roll out all over the country. This doesn't even get into the fact that each law would vary somewhat in the specific requirements and that it just kicks the job to verifying IDs and ages to the ISP instead of the downstream site.

Own it. Way back when on Reddit there was a guy who basically made a meme out of doing this.

He moved to Twitter. Apparently Fox has or thinks they have some sort of rights to him hosting news through 2024 as per their contract with him.
