Just arrived! Unfortunately the Witcher Set has the “now on Netflix” sticker. I heard that if I liked Ice &Fire I’d like Elric. (media.kotakuinaction2.win)

Sorry about the photo being upside down. My phone is stupid or I am. I’d rather blame the phone. Lol.

Since JPG is a lossy encoding format, re-encoding a photo rotated to the correct orientation loses information - like copying a photocopy. To avoid this, you can instead attach a piece of metadata that just says to rotate the photo when displaying it. The problem is that some environments ignore that metadata, returning the photo to its original orientation.

Thanks! I’ll try that next time

You'd have to try to not do that. Opening the photo in Paint and rotating it before saving, for example, would just save it as an ordinary JPG without the metadata tag.

If you like Elric, you'll probably like Conan.

I have the complete Conan stories by Robert Howard. Will be reading it soon. Also have some of the 70s and 80s comics from marvel and some of the books written by Robert Jordan

Nice. And if you like Howard's Conan, you'll probably like John Carter of Mars

Actually have that in my mountain of books to read. Heinlein was a huge fan and he is one of if not my favorite author

Great books, though I never got around to reading his latest which was a prequel. Keep a dictionary on hand, the first 2 or 3 books use a lot of big words that I never knew of. Might just have been the kindle translation, or maybe I was dumb.

Elric is the best. The books are great. The Witcher would be a kiddie version of Elric. If not for CDProjekt, it really is not deserving of the attention.

If you like insane epics the Malazan book of the Fallen is a wild ride. If you like pulpy stuff, the Dresden Files are pretty nice too, though not otherworld fantasy.

I’ve heard of Malzan. Need to check him out. I’ve also heard GRRM stole some things from Elric

Quick question, did you read the dunk and egg stories? If not I highly reccomend, they were hands down the most enjoyed part of asoiaf for me.

I plan to eventually. I guess I’m just super annoyed with GRRM for for taking so long. But I’ve heard good things about Dunk & Egg.

My biggest problem with Sapkowski is his utter fetish for downer endings. Don't know if it's because of him being an asshole or Polish or both, but every. Single. Story. Ends on a down note.

Picked up Elric vol. 1 recently myself. Looking forward to digging in!

Will do! Razorfist and Nerdrotic are huge fans of the Elric books and I’m a huge fan of theirs so I figured this like them. I need to check out the book series by Razorfist as well as Shadversity’s books. He is also working on a sci-fi. Eric July’s comic was good.

Are you going to get Razorfist's French comics (Bandes Dessinées) he's translating?
