Wo liegst Du auf der #Fantasy-#Nerd-Skala von "Wer ist #Pratchett?" bis "Ich kann ohne Wörtbuch von Elbisch nach Klingonisch übersetzen"? Was ist das nerdischste, das Du je gemacht hast?

Ich habe mich in meinem Nerdismus immer darauf beschränkt, auf viele Veranstaltungen zu gehen oder sie auszurichten. Für übertriebenes Detailwissen ist mein Kopf zu siebig, fürchte ich. Aber ich habe mich fachlich mit einigen Werken befasst (z. B. religionswissenschaftlich).

Sagen wir's mal so: Ich hab' zwar ein Klingonisch-Wörterbuch bei mir rumstehen, aber meine aktive Sprachkenntnis reicht nicht groß über Qapla' hinaus.
Klar, in einigen "Welten" kenn ich mich besser aus als in anderen, aber bei einem ausgewachsenen Nerd-Quiz hätte ich wohl in keiner Kategorie eine große Chance.

Selbstverständlich kenne (und liebe) ich Sir Pterry's Werk. Aber ansonsten bin ich nicht sehr nerdig. Denke ich. Mir fällt zumindest nichts besonders nerdiges ein, was ich getan hab.

Abgesehen von der BBC-Serie zu "Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis", bei der ich die dt. Synchronisation von Marvins Part einschl. Betonung mitsprechen kann - die Sprüche passen einfach zu gut ins Arbeitsleben - bin ich bzgl. SF/Fantasy nicht nerdisch.

Ganz am Anfang der Skala: Ich liebe die Geschichten, aber mit Merch und Conventions kann ich wenig anfangen.

Nur Landkarten für Geschichten habe ich früher gerne gezeichnet, wenn die nicht mitgeliefert wurden, und dann alternative Zeitlinien durchgespielt.

I've finished: Going Postal by Terry Pratchett

Every time I reread Going Postal I like it even better. This is indeed Pratchett at his finest.

As a conman is running for US president again, and the true faces of billionaires are exposed, Going Postal also becomes more and more relevant.

This time I listened to the new audio edition, narrated by Richard Coyle and it was very good.

I must admit that I had trouble with my previous attempts to listen to the new audio editions. I may be getting old and cranky, almost 50. But there was always at least one character I found it hard to listen to. Be it Nanny Ogg in the witches novels, or Vorbis in Small Gods. Nanny should always sound like she is smiling, and planning something, Vorbis has a calculating quiet evil soul, he will condemn you to death without showing emotion. He would not sound like he is planning something nefarious.

I think the actors hired to read the new editions are too good. Most of the Discworld novels have characters that are suited to more exaggerated acting. I think Going Postal is different because it is so well written, it works with more subtle acting and Coyle understands the essence of all the main characters.

I'm also having trouble with the footnote sound effects in the new audio editions. They break the flow; I end up forgetting what they refer too. It's kinda like the effect you get when entering a room and finding that you've forgotten why you went there.

Yet again the footnote sounds didn't bother me as much this time. Perhaps I'm getting used to them.

Luckily, I still own the older versions and can listen to the edition I prefer.

Rant over.

I highly recommend this edition of Going Postal.

I've finished: Only You Can Save Mankind by Terry Pratchett.

It's been a while since I last read Only You Can Save Mankind. I didn't remember the Golf War references being so prominent and now that I know Pratchett was a fan of the Wing Commander games I got more of the game play references. I'm now surprised he didn't reference the triumphal victory music you'd get after achieving a kill.

In 1991, as a 16 year old Israeli, under SCUD missile attack, carrying a gas mask with me everywhere, watching the amazing high tech air-power at work on TV, I had no anti war sentiments. I just saw a dangerous dictator getting his due.

I'm glad that I've grown since then.

Would Terry Pratchett be in favour of, or against, artificial intelligence and its impact on writing?

I think he would be in favour of the technology but cautious about the nature of (and how we describe) its output:

The first RPG in nearly three decades is on the way.
Terry ’s Discworld series has been a fantasy mainstay in books for decades. So it’s odd that there haven’t been attempts to adapt it into a role-playing game, especially given its wealth of characters, species, settings, and deep satire.

Modiphius announced it has officially licensed Discworld for board games, & a tabletop RPG called Terry Pratchett’s Discworld: Adventures in Ankh-Morpork.

If you're a #Pratchett or #Discworld fan and like #scifi simulator #VideoGames, Pratchett's Disc is a lovely tribute to STPOBE. If you play #EliteDangerous it's definitely worth a visit but either way you can get a decent look at where it is and what's there in this vid https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGerWAwuH/

My family and I are reading our way through Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. Currently starting "Guards! Guards!" and we haven't laughed this hard in forever!

MaJ1, to weirdfolks

I’m not really here, just a figment of your collective fevered imaginations …. That said , just started reading Pyramids again & had to quote this to my Peeps :

“Much that is weird could happen on a world on the back of a turtle like that! “

Proof, as if it were needed, that the @weirdfolks #WeirdFolks ancestral / spiritual home is in fact the Discworld !

G’Night all , may all that is good guard your sleep 🤗🫶😴

Going Postal (VF Timbré, très bonne VF) : très chouette !

Ça fait un bail que j'ai lu le livre (de ) correspondant, du coup je peux me tromper maisça me semble relativement fidèle, c'est ouf ! (contrairement à Discworld, et du coup ça serait chouette de tourner les autres romans !).
