Is a nice site if you want to expand into Nordic/Swedish books in your collection
I know, I’ve even heard of pages missing from paperbacks published by reputable print houses here in sweden
I like the ringantasy over romantasy any day. Sometimes I also read sword-and-sandalsantasy.

At least when I grew up in the late 80s and 90s both boys and girls read the books and watched the movies with Pippi.
I agree that Hollywood is a blight on the cultural landscape, and you basically have to disregard their movies if you want to find something deeper than a puddle, with exceptions few and far between
I saw that as parental instinct since protection of young are not gender coded, but you can read it as maternal for sure as a mirror to the Queens hatred after the egg burning
Ellen Ripley’s gender doesn’t matter until Resurrection, which isn’t the highlight of the movie.
A lot of media have strong female characters but their gender or sex does matter for the story so can’t easily be replaced
Susan in the book Soul Music (plus some others) as well as the Witches, Tiffany Achings and more from Pratchett
Death from Sandman (even though the author is very controversial, but you could check the books out from sources that doesn’t give him a kick back)

You save quite a lot of time when working on a database if it’s stored in RAM compared to tape, so it does make sense to use that technology
I really like the Ascension art, especially the earliest sets
A very good reason, and a nice habit. Trust but verify
I got a Kobo epub reader, made it way easier to just pick up a book when I have some spare time
For the universe start with the “First and Only”, for space marines I recommend “Brothers of the Snake” or “Horus Rising”
I really liked the Titan Quest game, it’s basically a diablo based on Greek mythology (plus china, Norse and Plato’s Atlantis with expansions)
Settlers2 with the Return to Roots together with RCT2 (OpenRCT) as well as Supreme Commander are still racking up hours of my free time
3rd edition WHFRPG Skaven only campaigns are hilarious though
Sounds like I should try to find a kit before they go all DAB
We never had that kind of ads in our books, they came in catalogues I sadly never got to order from even if the "make your own radio"kit with crystal always looked awesome
Just don’t use ordinary shrink tubing, it doesn’t seal properly in the front and may tighten too hard for comfort
