| 00:23:02 [nathanbp] | oh boy, more strongly worded blog posts defending racists being nominated for the Hugo awards |
|---|---|
| 00:23:19 [Cassian] | Oh boy |
| 00:24:48 [nathanbp] | At least now I know another of the authors I read is crazy (John C. Wright this time) >_> |
| 00:25:30 [Cassian] | I think I've seen his books in the library |

| 00:26:12 [Sacchi] | Silence Is Not Synonymous With Uproar: A Response To John C. Wright | shattersnipe: malcontent & rainbows |
| 00:27:04 [Cassian] | I got a few paragrahs into the first one and want to barf at what this person is implying |
| 00:29:50 [nathanbp] | yeah.... |
| 00:31:51 [Cassian] | Also using Card as an example maked them look like a bigger douchenozzle |
| 00:31:56 [Cassian] | *makes |
| 00:32:16 [nathanbp] | he's written some good books about humanity in the far future (Wright, that is) |
| 00:36:20 [Cassian] | Ah |
| 01:37:03 [nathanbp] | oh hey Mahouka came out, guess I don't have to watch Mushishi >_> |
| 01:37:12 [Cassian] | Haha <_< |
| 01:37:21 [Cassian] | Is Mahouka still pretty boring |
| 01:40:57 [nathanbp] | they hint at things sometimes that seem like they might be interesting.. |
| 02:01:44 [nathanbp] | ugh blizzard outsourced blizzcon tickets this year |
| 02:01:48 [nathanbp] | and the system is terrible |
| 02:07:46 [nathanbp] | I got 4 tickets but none of my old guildmates did :( |
| 02:11:00 [Cassian] | :( |
| 02:19:08 [nathanbp] | hmm, they managed to pick up 4 more from stragglers (this system is terrible...) |
| 02:19:27 [Cassian] | Ugh |
| 02:19:48 [nathanbp] | instead of keeping everyone in line it kicked people out that were past some limit |
| 02:20:06 [Cassian] | Uggghhhh |
| 02:20:12 [nathanbp] | and then you had to spam refresh to buy the tickets that didn't get sold to people whose sessions timed out |
| 02:20:20 [Cassian] | Jeez |
| 02:20:32 [nathanbp] | good practice for PAX Prime... |
| 02:20:46 [Cassian] | Yep |
| 02:31:22 [nathanbp] | hey they actually managed to pick up some more tickets, now we're only 2 down (out of 12) |
| 02:31:49 [Cassian] | Yay |
| 02:32:19 [nathanbp] | ugh $200 for these tickets is ridiculous though :( |
| 02:36:58 [nathanbp] | Since it is Wednesday I was half expecting PAX Prime tickets to go on sale today too |
| 02:37:14 [nathanbp] | instead now they'll probably go on sale next Wednesday when I'm in a meeting all day >_< |
| 02:42:49 [nathanbp] | all anime should start with loud explosions so I can tell for sure my sound is set up correctly >_> |
| 02:43:14 [Cassian] | Lol |

| 03:42:01 [nathanbp] | Hey Sam |
| 03:42:15 [nathanbp] | Still no PAX Prime tickets -_- |
| 03:42:15 [Cassian] | Hi Sam |
| 03:42:31 [nathanbp] | and I'll be in an all day meeting next Wednesday when they are next likely to go on sale... |
| 03:44:57 [Puyopuyo] | We shall see how it goes. |
| 03:47:16 [nathanbp] | This book is so out of date, it features someone buying software in boxes! (It's set in 2002) |
| 03:48:46 [Puyopuyo] | Heh |
| 04:10:55 [Cassian] | HaCha subs |
| 04:12:03 [nathanbp] | oh boy |
| 04:44:25 [Cassian] | I didn't realize the Wheel of Time series was finished, opps |
| 04:46:23 [nathanbp] | The final book only came out last year |
| 04:46:41 [nathanbp] | Sanderson had to write 3 1000-page monsters to finish everything up |
| 04:47:38 [Cassian] | I didn't realize. I was confused how Sanderson had so many books coming out at once if he was still working on that <_<; |
| 04:48:52 [nathanbp] | He also writes really really really fast |
| 04:49:05 [Cassian] | True |
| 04:49:39 [nathanbp] | I'm not sure but I think some of that may have been stuff he had written or at least sketched out before being published though |
| 04:49:51 [nathanbp] | so he'll slow down a bit now... |
| 04:50:04 [Cassian] | Ah |
| 04:56:22 [nathanbp] | ...he's apparently working on 4 books right now according the tracker on his website |
| 04:56:47 [Cassian] | God damn |
| 04:59:44 [Puyopuyo] | -!- Puyopuyo has left #Cochineal [Quit: Ping timeout: 240 seconds] |
| 05:00:22 [nathanbp] | oh hey I hadn't noticed the existence of The Hope of Elantris |
| 05:00:47 [Cassian] | Lol |
| 05:00:54 [nathanbp] | although I should maybe reread the book before reading it... |
| 05:01:11 [Cassian] | Ebooks short stories are really annoying |
| 05:01:18 [nathanbp] | oh? |
| 05:01:31 [Cassian] | To keep track of I mean |
| 05:02:35 [nathanbp] | yeah... |
| 05:02:41 [nathanbp] | I don't really read many short stories at all |
| 05:02:50 [Cassian] | Same |
| 05:04:10 [nathanbp] | * nathanbp finds another Sanderson book he didn't know about |
| 05:04:16 [nathanbp] | Legion |
| 05:04:36 [Cassian] | I was just reading about that one |
| 05:04:39 [nathanbp] | oh hmm, I think this one isn't a Cosmere story, interesting |
| 05:05:49 [Cassian] | Yah |
| 05:07:02 [Cassian] | *Yeah |
| 05:08:37 [nathanbp] | oh, hm: "Brandon was working on his thirteenth novel when Moshe Feder at Tor Books bought the sixth he had written." |
| 05:09:01 [Cassian] | God damn |
| 05:10:28 [nathanbp] | I'm not sure how strongly I'd recommend The Bloodline Feud, btw, Merchant Princes is my least favorite Stross series |
| 05:10:39 [Cassian] | Oh, okay |
| 05:12:35 [nathanbp] | I'm only rereading it because he's writing more and said he'd be talking about post-Snowden privacy implications in them |
| 05:12:48 [Cassian] | Ah |
| 05:14:28 [nathanbp] | I'd recommend Halting State (for Sci-fi) or The Fuller Memorandum (for urban fantasy/horror/spy series) by him instead |
| 05:15:02 [Cassian] | Ah, okay. I already have Halting State on my list |
| 05:15:46 [nathanbp] | Yeah, I'd recommend that first |
| 05:15:56 [Cassian] | K |
| 05:16:36 [nathanbp] | I'm off to sleep, 'night |
