  • I guess that tracks because Thanos is stupid as fuck.

    Trying to solve the resource problem by killing half of the universe just doesn’t help. In a couple of decades, the population would be back to the previous number.

    He could just snap his fingers and make those missing resources appear. Whole empty planets for people to live with abundance etc.

    It feels like he thought of the problem for like one minute and decided to take the easiest short term solution possible.








  • I did that. It was even bigger pain in the ass than I thought because the files are not alphabetically named. So when one file downloaded, I needed to rename it and add number before it. Didn’t want them to mix up. For each, file it was such a chore.

    Because this is a fan-made project, each file has at the start and at the end ads for patreon, reddit and stuff like that. So I used some kind of mp3 trimmer to cut all of them automatically. It was not perfect but passable.

    I might still have the files on some external hard drive, so if you give me some cloud shared folder or something I can upload it to you. I only know about free MEGA, but they have like 5 gigabytes limits and the book is like 11, If remember correctly.

    Or alternatively, as I mentioned in the original post, you can use some podcast app like AntennaPod and listen there.


  • Steam’s 30% is the last of their problems, I would like them to finally start actually moderating Steam forums. Because devs of the particular game usually don’t care. Visit some forums of newly released popular game and it’s full of bigots, misogyny, trolls and hate. It’s unbelievable.

  • I am currently using Storygraph, but I might switch to Hardcover. Their app is really good looking, if a bit slow, and it is very letterboxy, which I like. They too have lists feature which is a lot better than just tags, in my opinion.

    I like storygraph a lot but… I have been using it for around 3 years and in that time nothing substantial changed on that website. They still don’t have normal author page.






  • I guess I can see that, but I never said that it is cleaner. It’s the same for me. It’s not dirtier. It’s not cleaner. It’s only faster. Eating the banana sideways might look weird to other people, but there is literally no advantage for me to eat it normally.

    When someone tells you that they finished a book in a really short time, the first thing you think is probably that the book is really good and they had to like it. You probably don’t think, “oh, that’s not really reading. You technically just skimmed through it, you don’t know what you even read.”

    Some people read faster. Some people listen faster. It shouldn’t be that surprising.


  • I don’t know what to tell you. It looks like to me that you seem to think that somehow I am wasting my enjoyment of the media. Or that my consumption of the media isn’t the right one or fulfilling or something like that.

    As I said before, I can understand everything. Why should I listen to or watch something in normal speed? It’s just a waste of time in my case.

    When somebody can hit a target that is 300 meters away, why would you tell them to shoot at the target that is only 100 meters away? What’s the point in that for them?

    I don’t know if that is a good analogy, but I don’t know how else to explain this.



  • I thought that was obvious. Time.

    You would not believe how much time I have saved over the years by doing this. When I can finish 30m video in less than 10 minutes.

    I don’t know about you, but when I come home from work, I don’t have a whole evening to just watch yt videos.

    This way I can finish the videos I wanted to watch a lot sooner and then I can go and do something else.
