J.R.R.Tolken the best!
Because of him, I was able to understand what a truly amazing fantasy world is like. Thanks to him, I started writing myself. I haven't blogged yet and I think I still have a lot of work to do. But I am already being called to write for the university newspaper. Are there any people here who write for themselves or writers?

As well as J.R.R Tolken, I like Marcus Zusak as well
What is your favourite Markus book? At the moment I'm going to write an article for my university newspaper on the "Underdog" book. But actually I think my paper is bad from a design point of view. Do you know which graphics editor is the easiest to learn?

Terry Pratchett for me.
There are stories I have liked more than any particular one of his (if sticking with fantasy then the prince of nothing series... wonderful) but there has been nothing that has even come close to opening my eyes as much to the potential of language (and it was not like I was unaware beforehand), repeated between the eyes skewering of any institution, trope, commonly held notion or archetype, consistently memorable characters (I mentioned prince of nothing above and while I can remember major characters and the plot then there are sure to be side characters lost out, I can remember Discworld ones in books I have not read in over 20 years), common reference among people I respect (and that is not something I seek when getting to know someone, just that those that I end up keeping around have an appreciation all of their own) or book series more likely to see me up at 5am still reading them despite having important things to do for several days on the trot.

There is always the reading order debate here. https://www.bookseriesinorder.com/terry-pratchett/ I would say chronological up to Moving Pictures and then any you think interest you from there, or maybe ones that continue storylines you liked. That said there are plenty of other viable alternatives and standalone ones that might also do.

My favorite book by Markus is the Book Thief, I suggest reading it, don’t be overwhelmed by the 580 pages. Also I like to use Adobe Creative Suite for graphics editing, everything I have made with that has been very successful.

    Fucking lame. Thread viewed 1000 times and only one reply that doesnt even answer what I asked.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    You could say the same for a couple or so threads that used to be popular, I guess.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    I mean. All I ask was for people to see if ONE, SINGLE website is working properly in edge. 1000 people see it but cant be bothered at all
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Ready to just leave this place anyway. The amount of shit talking and bullying behavior that goes unchecked is crazy. No where else do I see this shit towards me and others. Not even on reddit have I been talked to like I have here by other members
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @RedColoredStars, I did read the last sentence in your post by the way. Maybe try changing the privacy settings in your browser to standard if that works.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I've also heard that Chromium-based browsers will stop working with ad-blockers.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Thing is , the videos work fine in the Edge Dev and Canary builds. But whatever the fix they made was, has never been pushed to Beta or Stable builds. Its been that way for as far back as I tested. Which was Edge 84. They are on 125 now.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @RedColoredStars, Yeah, and I was in quite a mood at that time. I would consider choosing Firefox or Opera instead, been using Firefox for over 7 years now than Chrome.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Tried contacting Nintendo to see if they can reach out to MS about it. But Nintendo said the videos are working fine. Without enough people saying no, they don't work fine, it will never get fixed.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    I have Firefox and used it for many years. But Edge runs noticible faster on my pc at both opening and loading pages.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I don't think Nintendo will know anything about troubleshooting Edge. They mostly do technical support regarding their console family.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tell them you downloaded their trailer without permission

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Good one, Ken.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Right. But they could create a ticket that gets forwarded to the proper team. I think Nintendo would care that their videos aren't working on a major browser
