then growing new humans basically it s like a seed ship but instead of carrying fertilized embryos it has the genome or whatever stored in it s memory banks we follow the probe as it travels the galaxy over eons and dwells on its mission and the nature thereof it s pretty good 5 out of 5 all in all the series was worth reading even if one story sucked and two others were only okay the others more than made up for it posted by jason at august 14 2023 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels john scalzi misc reviews 9 17 2022 incoming transmission ah yes it is i the dude who hasn t posted here in over a year yikes sorry about that you know how it is one second you re traveling the space lanes the next you re trying to put a hyperdrive back together using bazooka bubblegum and a bootleg red dwarf box set but in all seriousness life just got in the way and my interest in blogging waned on the plus side my reading has never been better this year alone i ve read 12 sf novels and novellas i plan on doing summaries of all the books i ve read this year and last so look for those soon currently i m reading children of time by adrian tchaikovsky and while i ve enjoyed what i ve read of it so far i think i might backburner it for a while because i don t think i m quite in the mood or mindset at present to read it properly having said that holy shit it is good so far i can easily and clearly understand the hype surrounding it and it is well deserved i m also re reading cordelia s honor by lois mcmaster bujold as part of a renewed effort to read the vorkosigan series i loved the first several books i had read but couldn t tell you why i just up and stopped reading them a couple of years ago other than the above my plans for the rest of the year involves reading more military sf and tryout some new authors i ve discovered on goodreads oh yeah i m on goodreads now posted by jason at september 17 2022 2 comments

next year it was great while it lasted i hope whittaker is leaving on her own terms and not because of the toxic elements of the whovian fandom who abhorred anyone but a white dude playing a fictional time traveling alien i on the other hand was one of the many fans who were enthusiastic that a woman had finally been cast to play the doctor with luck she won t be the last to step into the role i also hope that we ll be seeing her more several of her predecessors and other whovian alumni have found success post dw and hopefully jodie whittaker will join them chris chibnall is also departing

appreciation a scout ship from master of orion ii battle at antares no idea why but my organic computer has been stuck on the idea of scout ships in sf recently i think it might have come from thinking about the scout and outpost ships from one of my favorite computer games master of orion ii battle at antares in the game the scout is the cheapest and quickest of your combat vessels that you can build early on i would use the word combat loosely because while they are armed they aren t at all suitable for combat in fact last night i was watching a video on youtube of someone playing moo2 and they went ahead and removed the weapons from the first scout they built because it was pointless equipping the ship with them the main job of the scout is to well scout in the game these are the ships you build first and send out asap to explore nearby star systems outpost ships meanwhile can serve a similar function but with the additional ability to establish an outpost just like the name says wow in whatever system they re sent to provided there s something there to build it on but it did get me thinking though first it was what i want to call the quiet nobility of scouting vessels not just in master of orion 2 but in science fiction in general if we think about them in a in universe context the nobility lies in the willingness of the crews to plunge into the unknowns of space of the uncertainty of what they ll find when they drop out of ftl flight into an unexplored star system not knowing if that system is occupied or not and if it is whether the inhabitants are friendly or hostile the challenges that the crew of a fictional scout face would be myriad and immense they re not unlike the scouts pioneers and frontiersmen in our real life history who would trek into the depths of unexplored land in order to make maps a little less blank the quiet part of the nobility is that they re simply unsung compared to others what i mean is which ships typically get the most attention in space operas military sf and other genres the big ones like battleships cruisers and dreadnoughts there s probably not many books movies tv shows etc where the small lowly scout ship is the center of attention and that s a shame because i have to imagine that the crews of these ships are among the bravest hardiest people to serve you would have to be when you honestly have no idea if the next time your ship drops out of ftl it ll be into clear space or right into an errant asteroid it s really a shame that they don t get more attention and love in sf media i d rather read about their adventures than those set on a warship or other big ship posted by jason at november 29 2020 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels ships and stations 10 18 2020 2020 is terrible but at least i m reading sf it s been a while since i ve done a rundown on my recent reading adventures so i thought i d share because sharing is caring trading in danger by elizabeth moon vatta s war 1 as you can see from this list i have very obviously committed myself to reading the entirety of elizabeth moon s series this year vatta s war is a fun military sf series centered around the scion of a major trading family who after being unceremoniously kicked out of her planet s space navy academy becomes a captain of a cargo ship needless to say things quickly unfold and kylara vatta finds herself neck deep in an interplanetary crisis and having to deal with a mutiny and more tid is very much what i would call an establishing novel in that sets the stage for everything that comes after in the sequels that s not to say that it s a bad book but things really don t kick off until the second novel marque and reprisal by elizabeth moon vatta s war 2 speaking of which here is the second novel as i said just above the overall plot of vatta s war starts with mr ky s family and their interstellar trading empire are both devastated in massive coordinated attacks leaving her to try and pick up the pieces and figure out who is behind the attacks all while trying to survive of course mr introduces several important characters that the story shifts between throughout the series engaging the enemy by elizabeth moon vatta s war 3 yup i read the first three books in a row kinda there was a fantasy novel between the second and third books but i think it still counts engaging the enemy picks up not long after marque and reprisal ends ky now has a second ship one much more combat capable than the one she started out with this also means that ky now has the capability to both find out who was behind the attacks on her family and to mete out vengeance we also see a division form between ky and her cousin stella over how to rebuild the family business while all this is going on we get to see their aunt grace lane vatta begin her own investigation and revenge against those who were complicit in the attacks on the vatta family s home planet the last emperox by john scalzi the interdependency series 3 finally a book that isn t vatta s war i finally got the chance to read the last book in john scalzi s excellent interdependency series after the local public library reopened it was worth the months of waiting too tle wraps up the series nicely my only complaint is that the last part of the book felt rushed network effect by martha wells the murderbot diaries 5 another long awaited read i love the murderbot diaries and if you haven t read the series then you should network effect is the first novel in the series the previous four books being novellas and i can say that while the series works well in both categories i much prefer novel length in ne murderbot and some of its supporting cast get shanghaied on a familiar to the reader ship in a long lost colony adventure ensues much to murderbot s annoyance command decision by elizabeth moon vatta s war 4 yet another vatta book i breezed through this one within days of checking it out command decisions reads as it should the second to last novel and as such it s all about setting the stage for the finale in this one ky has the beginnings of a fleet she just needs to find more ships and support for that fleet in order to take on the pirates directly meanwhile rafe one of the characters introduced in marque and reprisal returns home to find out what s happening to ics the interstellar megacorp that owns the monopoly on interstellar communication rafe s characterization during this part of the book is odd in the previous books he s acted charismatic intelligence a bit cavalier in cd however he doesn t act like that instead he acts more emotional panic y even it s hard to explain but if you read the series you ll see what i mean regardless i really liked command decision we get more action the plot advances suitably and i can t wait to finish the series posted by jason at october 18 2020 no comments email this blogthis share

a sentence i never thought i d write it sounds like the fakest thing to ever be written in the english language but shockingly it s true a couple of weeks ago actor henry cavill got the internet all hot and bothered by posting a video on instagram of his assembling a gaming pc while the web swooned i did some digging and came across something that raised my eyebrows about ten feet in the air view this post on instagram considering we are both going through the easter period and going through the lockdown i figured it a good time to put a silver lining onto the cloud that is some of the darker moments during this time so i ve decided to polish some old skills and try my hand at some new ones it is a time of rebirth after all so as you can see here the obvious might look a little bit like a tiny helmet which it is one of my almost life long hobbies that i ve been following but not actively doing is this a company called games workshop or plastic crack as we call it genuinely can t get enough of the lore they have built over the decades they have been some of my most enthused reads if you were in denial about me being a geek before you can t hide from it now also in the background of this photo there may just be some completely new skills i m working on or there may not be so all of your eye squinting and attempts at digital unfocusing will be in vain orrrr maybe they won t i also wanted to take this opportunity to thank from the bottom of my heart all of the nhs national health service here in the uk and healthcare workers worldwide for your unceasing efforts to protect us i imagine it might be feeling a little rough right now but you ladies and gents are absolutely smashing it keep it up you got this hold on a second i hear you utter if he has both hands in the

2020 at 1 34am pdt he of superman and witcher fame not only plays wh40k aka the sport of kings but paints his own models the fact that he plays custodes and not ultramarines probably won him some hearts all on its own but man to find out that someone who looks like this plays warhammer including the total war game six times through nearly didn t get cast as superman because he lost track of time playing world of warcraft and builds his own gaming pcs or livestreams on twitch is like finding out that the high school quarterback who drove a mustang and dated the head cheerleader also played magic the gathering in his free time this man has no right being this handsome this is why i m ugly af but seriously imagine henry cavill walking into your flgs and asking if anybody was up for
