Internal US news does not go in World.
World is not for internal US news.

3·13 hours agoA) to see if it could be done.
B) I wanted to see if/how Destiny 2 runs on Steam Deck and it requires Windows. Running it in a compatability later gets you banned.
I can dual boot my Steam Deck with an external Windows 11 SSD. I expect I can do the same with the Steam Machine.

Ok… who wants to break it to them?
That was what happened with Terry Pratchett. He ordered all his uncompleted works destroyed when he died. 😟
Then Gaiman went ahead with a sequel to Good Omens anyway… 🤬

It’s not “Illegal”, it’s that World was concieved and operates as a space free of US news.
There’s PLENTY of US news all over the rest of lemmy and we wanted a space where non-US news can’t be drowned out.
If we allowed it, it would rapidly become another US news echo chamber and at that point no different from !news@lemmy.world
Sorry, Yiddish, I think I pointed this out in one of your other threads, and I don’t mean to spam, but it bears repeating…
Ring is partnering with Flock:
I inherited a Ring camera with my house and added more, I’m now in the process of de-Ringifying everything.
First, image posts are not allowed, second, US news is not allowed.
Internal US news is not World. See !news@lemmy.world or !politics@lemmy.world
1·4 days agoWhat’s hilarious is that the critics were trying to dance around it calling it “Art” and “Literature” and Moore was adamant: “No, it’s porn.”
Complete for now… Martin is the hang up at this point. 😉
But serious shout out to Folio for doing some of the best books in the business. I’ve spent way too much money with them. LOL.
It’s like illustrated editions are cursed or something…
Bloomsbury was doing gorgeous Harry Potter illustrated editions. They got through 5/7 and the illustrator burned out and stepped down. 😟 In theory they have a replacement and #6 will be out next year.

The Folio Society was doing a fantastic illustrated sets of the original James Bond books, then their artist got caught stealing the work of other artists in their Wizards of the Coast work, that de-railed the final book in the series, but it DID finally come out.

That’s how the Narnia books end funnily enough.
“And everyone died in a train crash, the end!”
Sorry if I spoiled the ending of a 70+ year old book series. 😉
The worst are the books that just don’t have an ending. I had that with Stephen King’s “Cell”. Fantastic premise, an alien information virus hijacks cell phone signals to turn people into mindless zombies building something.
What are they building? 🤷♂️
Were the heroes successful in stopping it? 🤷♂️
What the hell happened? 🤷♂️It’s like King went “Oh, shit, the deadline is today? Fine, pack it up and ship it.”
For the film version they had to invent a new ending because the book just doesn’t have one, it stops, but no ending.
I was wondering why he just doesn’t cut the manuscript in 1/2, publish the first as “Part 1” and re-set his publication clock.
Apparently he has somewhere between 1,100 and 1,200 pages completed.
But as he explained elsewhere, he doesn’t write linearlly. He focuses on one point of view “chapter” and then that informs other point of view chapters, so there’s a lot of back and forth.
So 1,100 to 1,200 finished pages doesn’t mean a cohesive narrative.
So here’s my story… Not a fan. I found the first book to be a slog with nothing happening for the first 400 pages. Lots of people sitting around in rooms talking.
I also didn’t care much for any of the characters and from that point on chose only to read the Jon and Arya chapters.
So when I hit Arya discovering the aftermath of the Red Wedding I was like “Well, clearly I missed something…” Backtracked and read that chapter and went “Well… glad I wasn’t invested in THAT character!”
From a non-linear creative process, imagine if he wrote the Arya chapter first. I don’t know that that’s how he specifically did it, but he’s describing a similar process on the new book.
Now he has to go back and write that whole thing that he described the aftermath of.
It wouldn’t be publishable without it.
