Several years ago, I read books 1 through 7 of Malazan: Book of the Fallen. I LOVED them.

However, somewhere in book 8, the writing, already very dense and hard to follow, completely lost me. Even though I was (mostly) following the various plots in 7 books, 8 seemed to finally be my breaking point.

I'd love to return and finish them. Does anyone have suggestions to make that final set of 3 novels easier to understand?

Recently, while scrolling through Reddit, I accidentally came across a post by >>> u/hydershykh <<< . In his post, he shared an interesting way to make money. At first, I was really skeptical, but I decided to give it a try anyway. And you should’ve seen my face when it actually worked!

I managed to earn just over $700 in literally 2 days. I used to have to work an entire week to make that kind of money, working non-stop — but this was so easy and simple.

That post turned out to be a real treasure for me, so I decided to share it too — maybe it’ll help someone else.

Here’s his username >>> u/hydershykh <<< (click to go to his account)

The post is pinned on his profile, if anything!

So, in my first playthrough I am courting Emily. After her Grandma interfered, I figured that maybe that was why I kept the Heart Knot. But now, I still have the Heart Knot, and Emmi is my sweetheart anyway. We go on dates, not playdates. She has 7 hearts. What's the deal with Heart Knots?

I've been playing nethack on and off for years. I haven't memorized all the types of rings (or other items). My caveman was on Dlvl 2 when his kitty picked up and then dropped a ring. "Oh good, it's not cursed!" I thought. I put it on....with the kitty right next to me.

You veterans can see where this is going.

I took a step. My kitty bit me - HARD. Next turn I was dead (while trying to take the ring off),

Among my possessions? an uncursed ring of conflict.

NOTE TO SELF: only use-test rings when pet is in some other room.

Not only am I that geeky, but I have all the single player Final Fantasy battle music themes and use one as my ringtone for a month or two before changing to another one.

Do you guys do this?

The news about Michael Flynn's associate getting convicted has reminded me - Because of capitalism's emphasis on money-making, there are many lobbyists and influencers who are getting paid to convince their own government to do things that a foreign country wants done. This seems obviously un-ethical. They aren't producing anything of value, or entertaining people, yet the US political system (and others in the modern world) does nothing to discourage it. What would the answer be ?

I'm running Lineage 15.1 with TWRP, and I got an older version of Netflix to run successfully. The current version of Hulu lets me sign in but then I get a "3(-996)" error code when I try to play a video.

There's an older version of Hulu that seems to work, but it doesn't split the users up (our household has 3) the way that Hulu and Netflix do nowadays.

So I've installed Cyanogenmod successfully about 4 years ago, and I am pretty sure I know what I'm doing. When I boot into Custom Recovery (Samsung Galaxy Tab E), there are 6 yellow lines of text followed by 9 blues ones (first is "Reboot system now", last is "Power off")

Did I do something wrong? In order to install LineageOS, which command line should i move the cursor to? I think it is "Wipe data/factory reset" followed by "Apply update from SD card" but unsure. I expected a GUI with TWRP, from past experience and looking up directions online.

Frostgale is a 2x or 3x XP WOTLK server that I have been recently playing on for a few weeks. It's been offline all day, and so have its forums/website.

One of my favorite servers uses the 0.4.17-dev version of Minetest, along with a few mods (incl "farming"). I have noticed that recently, mining nodes will drop the identical node - stone drops stone, not cobblestone; iron ore drops a node of iron ore, not an iron lump. I can't smelt them in that state. Wheat also has changed to "farming:wheat_8" and I don't know how to create flour from it. I haven't seen any wheat seeds drop, either.

(torches also now come in "wall" and regular versions, but that's not a big concern)

Is this the farming mod? How can I fix this to make bread and mine ores as I used to?

[Nethack 4]

specifically how many times should i be searching a square? I'm talking above dlevel 5, when you know there must be more rooms (via messages or the shape of the explored level, or lack of the '>'), and yet you seemingly cannot find the corridor that will lead to anything further. I have a monk with nothing in inventory that helps, and I am searching 18 times on every 3rd square along each wall.

I installed CM 12.1 on my B&N Nook HD+ a few weeks ago and am very happy with it for the most part. However, 2 days ago I started getting the "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped" message repeatedly. It doesn't look like there is a CM13 stable yet for this particular device (ovation version of CM). Is there a solution other than waiting for CM13 to reach the Nook HD+ ? Or a way to suppress those error messages?

I've been happy with Virgin Mobile for quite a few years, but my current phone has a cracked screen and we have an old T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 in the house. I've been thinking of putting Cyanogenmod onto that phone and changing networks, since VM will not let you BYOP when switching phones. Just looking for people's experiences moving from VM to T-Mobile (or MetroPCS for that matter). Thanks.
