Geek_King, to asklemmy in What MMOs are you all playing?

WoW Ascension on the Area 52 server. This server is classless, you can pick any ability and talents you want. Plus there are mystic scrolls you can find in the world which when equipped (you can have 17 equipped at once, 1 legendary, 3 epic, then a bunch of blue or green) and these enchants completely change how abilities work to allow for you to make incredibly cool custom classes.

It’s full of fresh ideas, I love it a lot!

I think the difference was, they were just side banners and that’s it. They didn’t have all this insane tracking, data analysis, metrics, and knowing everything about you bullshit they do now.

Geek_King, to asklemmy in What's a food you forget you like? Then you eat it, and wonder why you don't buy it more often?

No, we are legion. I’m sure oodles of people fall into this fruit trap.

Yeah, I don’t you’d like the rest of the series then. I was completely hooked, but I listened to the audio books first and ended up not liking the show as much as the books. I think it’s more about what you experienced first. My big issue with the show is, they changed a bunch of characters, took some characters and combined them into one. A good example is Bobby wasn’t amazonian in stature, and I missed some of the technical details like needing crash couches in order to account for changing directions.

That bothered me a ton too. The movie gave the impression that JUST the Atreides and their entourage moved to Arrakis, the palace was so empty, it definitely lacked the grandiose scale the original story had.

Geek_King, to asklemmy in What was the last dumb phone you had before your first smartphone?

I think it was my Motorola Razr, then I got a Black Berry Bold, or some such. So yeah, the Razr.

Geek_King, to memes in Given all the accurate predictions of the Simpsons and Futurama

A male witch is a warlock right? Perhaps he’s a reality warper, and isn’t predicting things like Trump becoming president, but rather he’s MAKING IT HAPPEN!!! BURN THE WARLOCK!

Geek_King, to asklemmy in What are your favorite names?

Here are some of my favorite names I’ve come across:

Sylphrena, a spren (type of sprite) from the Stormlight Archives

Koriel Zeth, a Adept who was in charge of “The Magma City” in a Warhammer 40k book

Geek_King, to asklemmy in If many extraterrestrial civilizations were nearby but trying to keep quiet, how would you suggest drawing them out?

I know it’s so damn frequent that Occam’s Razor gets trotted out, but in this situation, I think the simplest explanation is probably the most likely. Life developing in general is insanely rare in the universe, and there is no law that states that life HAS to evolve into intelligent life that would develop technologies, and space travel.

Geek_King, to asklemmy in What's a sci-fi or fantasy book or series that you want to see adapted as a movie/television series?

The Expeditionary Force series! I loved the series and listened to the whole thing on audible! The great thing is, R.C. Bray could still voice one of the key characters who makes the whole series fun and addicting!

Geek_King, to potatoism in Happiness

I think I can speak for all Lemminites when I say, we all experienced our first heartfelt smile in the Spud Pit.

Geek_King, to lemmyshitpost in It's like everyday

A++, would chortle again.

Geek_King, to memes in Into the endless expanse with them

I’m so glad I could positively impact someone! I listen to audio books like a fiend, while cleaning, during laundry, during running and biking. But The Expanse books were the only books I’d be so hooked I’d listen to them while eating dinner instead of watching a show.

Geek_King, to asklemmy in American English slang question

I’ve most frequently seeing AF mean “As fuck”. It’s even gotten to the point of bumper stickers that say things like “Mommy AF”. Outside that meaning, I’m not sure what else AF could mean.

Geek_King, to asklemmy in What is your unpopular flim opinion

I also feel like because the movie didn’t explain as much as the book or original movie did, people just assumed the new movie was profound and deep, and loved it because of it. I asked a friend who loved it but hadn’t read the book or watched the 80’s movie, who the Sardukar are. He answered that they were a religious order who were good fighters. Again, the new movie just doesn’t give enough context or answers to stuff.

I also can’t express how much I didn’t care for the new Worm design.
